Guys - its not that good?

"Ultimately, Superman is a solid popcorn action film and reasonable re-introduction of Superman in a form closer to his classic interpretation. But the decision to force-feed the audience with other superheroes dilutes the overall focus. As mostly mindless summer fun, it stands up well alongside the other productions being offered during the summer of 2025 but I can’t help but wonder whether the movie’s secondary purpose – to introduce Gunn’s vision of the D.C. universe – may have eclipsed its primary one. In 1978, Superman offered viewers a transcendent comic book experience. In 2025, Superman feels a lot like many of the other superhero movies out there - fun, frisky, and forgettable."
