#Superman soars. It's a non-stop joyride, packed with humor, action, and emotion.

There's spectacle to spare, unbridled optimism, and a goofy unpredictability that ties everything together, even when there are a few minor issues. We've never seen DC like this, and it's great. pic.twitter.com/KM2EC0cddd

He did it. James Gunn’s #Superman flies high! Vibrant, lighthearted and action-packed, it’s a true to form comic book adaptation surging with hope. David Corenswet embodies the definitive Superman for a new generation. This IS the Superman movie we’ve been waiting for. pic.twitter.com/FpWJocJLiE

SUPERMAN is just as fun, vibrant & idiosyncratic as James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, yet it still captures the empowering, hopeful spirit of the comics. His distinctive style & offbeat humor, along with the crowded cast of characters, and… pic.twitter.com/CJqzkSVH8q

While it took a minute for me to get on its wavelength, there's no denying that @JamesGunn's #Superman will define the icon for a new generation. A proudly punk rock rebuttal of the cultural shift towards cynicism & dehumanization that's incredibly on the pulse, raging with… pic.twitter.com/wqnfBqiMQ7

There’s definitely some stuff I can nitpick or say could have been handled better. But as a whole, this movie made me feel joy in a way I can’t truly even begin to describe or express. It’s just incredible. I’m just SO happy with what was delivered here by everyone involved.

Mr. Terrific is fucking AWESOME btw. This dude needs his own tv show or movie IMMEDIATELY. Bro was aura farming for most of the movie 😭 This character is gonna be on everyone’s radar after this movie comes out. Edi Gathegi killed it. pic.twitter.com/mngzBzM5rO

— RJ (@ResonantJustice) July 8, 2025

David Corenswet didn’t just play Superman. This dude IS Superman. I was blown away by his performance. This film asks so much of David as an actor, but somehow he’s able to meet every request given to him. It’s such a heartwarming and charismatic performance. #Superman pic.twitter.com/HkaR285GEQ

— RJ (@ResonantJustice) July 8, 2025

Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane is generational casting btw. She ate up this whole movie. If you love Lois? Like if you’re a Lois Lane fan? MANNNNN… you’re in for a treat. It’s her movie just as much as Superman’s. She’s so good. Her chemistry with David is off the charts. pic.twitter.com/YecBk5MJOb

#Superman was maybe my most anticipated movie of the year, and it really blew me away.

James Gunn and his amazing cast & crew really got to the heart of what makes a good Superman story for me: it's hopeful, even when things seem hopeless.

I hope everyone else digs it too. pic.twitter.com/j6OdMw3o5K

— Dan Casey (@DanCasey) July 8, 2025

James Gunn and the cast really bottled that classic #Superman magic in this film. As someone who grew up buried in DC Comics, this felt like watching my childhood leap off the page in real-time.

Also… Skyler Gisondo & Edi Gathegi are the stealth supporting MVPs in #Superman. Both are utilized so perfectly.

— Courtney Howard (@Lulamaybelle) July 8, 2025

#Superman is a triumph for the new DC Universe.

It’s a comic book brought to beautiful live-action life, brimming with hope & fulfillment. It actually elicited tears of joy from me.

It’s a Superman for everyone. David Corenswet was born for Superman & Clark Kent. Loved it. pic.twitter.com/ng2CrD2gh0

— Brandon Davis (@BrandonDavisBD) July 8, 2025

#Superman is a winner. I have complaints with the Marvel levels of CGI. But James Gunn has crafted a splashy colorful superhero film with tremendous characters. Mr. Terrific stole the movie for me. Corenswet and Brosnahan shine: I can watch an entire film on their chemistry alone pic.twitter.com/yKpAqwuXCV

— 𝙅𝙤𝙝𝙣 𝘿𝙤𝙩𝙨𝙤𝙣 (@JohnMovieWatch) July 8, 2025

I loved Superman! James Gunn embraces the earnest, sometimes lovably corny side of comics and their super (ahem) fun concepts in a way that evokes Raimi’s Spider-Man. Corenswet & Brosnahan have great chemistry and perfectly embody Clark & Lois. And Krypto's the best, obviously. pic.twitter.com/VtnluVFkGp

— Eric Goldman (@TheEricGoldman) July 8, 2025

I wish I could watch #superman on repeat for a week.

They *finally* gave me the Lois Lane I’ve been begging for.

The world needs this movie & we can all learn so much from Superman.

I laughed. I cried. The DCU has arrived. @JamesGunn knocked it out of the park. pic.twitter.com/kUmEIF8IzX

— Roxy Striar (@roxystriar) July 8, 2025

We saw #Superman and it was a mixed bag for our critic. Not a disaster at all (has some great moments) but not as good as hoped for. Oddly the movie short-changed a vital character - Lois Lane and, surprisingly, Clark Kent. Lots of Supes, not much Clark.

SUPERMAN: The closest thing we’ll get to a live-action Saturday morning cartoon. The cast (esp David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan) is literally perfect. It’s a shame it looks like that. Full review coming soon!

— Hoai-Tran Bui (@htranbui) July 8, 2025

James Gunn's Superman is phenomenal! David Corenswet & Nicholas Hoult nail their roles perfectly. The chemistry between Rachel Brosnahan & David is electric. The action, humor, & cinematography are top-notch! The PERFECT entry to the DCU, I need more now! What a movie! #Superman pic.twitter.com/P99rgtDYYI

— Tessa Smith - Mama's Geeky (@MamasGeeky) July 8, 2025

#Superman is thrilling and earnest: a comic book brought to life, with James Gunn asking intriguing questions about heroism and self-actualization, alongside wildly creative uses of Clark's powers. Its narrative sprawl leads to some character shakiness, but the new DC hits hard. pic.twitter.com/nJEir7tQDy

— Brandon Lewis (@blewis1103) July 8, 2025

This is the BEST #Superman movie to date.

When James Gunn gets out of the way & lets his work speak for itself, it's incredible. 💙💛❤️

It's not perfect, but darn close
& made me a believer in Gunn's #DC

Gunn has done something that I only thought possible in Animated form, he not only made us believe a man could fly but made us believe a person could care so much about preservation of life (ALL LIFE). Hoult is the best movie live action Lex, an unmissable experience! #Superman pic.twitter.com/YL9uOk4fFT

#Superman is everything I wanted it to be, & a million things more. It is truly awe-inspiring, both as a DC fan who has longed to see this universe onscreen in such a loving & unique way, & just as a hopeful person.

James Gunn’s SUPERMAN is the comic book movie I’ve been waiting to see for decades.

The film shines with a sense of play that, paired with kickass filmmaking, superhero cinema hasn’t seen this boldly served since Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2.

The DC Universe is in good hands. pic.twitter.com/CgSxZuck51

— Erik Voss (@eavoss) July 8, 2025

Superman might be the best movie James Gunn has directed. A classic Lex vs Kal-El contest over basic decency. Not everyone will be open to the trunks, the “good gosh,” or Krypto. But David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, and Rachel Brosnahan ground it with incredibly raw performances.

— Erik Voss (@eavoss) July 8, 2025

I’ll have a lot more to say about Superman and the exciting DCU it has opened the door to, but if Edi Gathegi’s scene-stealing Mr. Terrific is the measure of coolness James Gunn has in store for this universe… this is about to get wild. pic.twitter.com/BAfRV3iAqa

— Erik Voss (@eavoss) July 8, 2025

James Gunn absolutely nailed it with #Superman. From the music and VFX to the camerawork and humor, he crafted the ideal light-hearted, kid-friendly family film for the summer. Every character had standout moments—especially Krypto. pic.twitter.com/NPnfz8KcDl

The only criticism that comes to mind for me is some of the CGI felt a bit off in spotsI think some puppetry or animatronics might have looked better in certain shots, but other than that, Superman is a wonderful stepping stone to a brighter, more hopeful DC future. (2/2)

— Chris Killian (@chriskillian) July 8, 2025

Gunn did it! #Superman is a remarkable achievement for @DCOfficial and superhero films! Epic heartfelt and hopeful! The definitive cinematic versions of Clark, Lois, and Lex!

#Superman had the whole theater cheering. Vibrant and action packed. This film is filled with so much hope. The entire cast BROUGHT IT, especially David and Nicholas giving everything I wanted to see with Superman and Lex. pic.twitter.com/5IGjc8ccpH

Yes, it can be goofy at times, but it's always sincere and heartfelt. The humor is well-balanced and noticeably more restrained than usual.

Action scenes are a feast with dynamic camera work. While the VFX are top notch, I wish the cinematography was more polished. pic.twitter.com/kWj2mDLjKQ

The film left me completely overwhelmed. I cried so much out of joy, hope, love... This scene in particular broke me and made me bawl my eyes out. That feeling of walking out of the theater filled with hope and a desire to do good is truly unmatched. #LookUp pic.twitter.com/bcb9cMdhSe

I loved #Superman. Gave me the biggest, goofiest, stupidest, full-faced grin as I revelled in everything @JamesGunn staged. Perfect cast & world building. It's unapologetically comic booky, which won't work for some. But as far as DC Comics movies go, it's a blistering delight. pic.twitter.com/IwBBscFO0r

— Sean O'Connell (@Sean_OConnell) July 8, 2025

Joy to the world, #Superman is a splendidly human story. David Corenswet couldn’t be more charming or Reeves-esque, and his chemistry with Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois is perfect. I don’t have enough space to shoutout every character I want to, but special props to Mister Terrific. pic.twitter.com/ydAtdbzdcV

— The Distracted Tatiana (@myrcellasear) July 8, 2025

#SUPERMAN is the best the Man of Steel has been all millennium. Gunn's take is a smart study with a compelling immigrant diaspora arc at its core. David Corenswet nails the Clark's truest nature: a midwest dork trapped in a hunk body, instilling hope for all. emphasis on HOPE. pic.twitter.com/MUro9da6g1

— Rendy Jones (@rendy_jones) July 8, 2025

#Superman is the movie we were all hoping it would be. And somehow… it’s even more. I’m honestly in awe right now. This is a fresh, honest take on the character—and I think it’s going to help a lot of people finally understand why Superman is so iconic. It definitely did for me.… pic.twitter.com/NUbUuGViuQ

— Jones Vibes (@jonesvibesonly) July 8, 2025

#Superman is what the Big Blue Boy Scout needs and deserves. It’s nice to have a Supes with some personality and life in him. David Corenswet is a revelation, bringing just the right amount of earnest heart and pure fun. Love the universe James Gunn establishes too. Excellent! pic.twitter.com/IjapxzMPeP

— Ethan Anderton (@Ethan_Anderton) July 8, 2025

Saving more of my thoughts... but #Superman  is just fine. Very ambitious in trying to thrust us into a new universe, but there is simply *too much* going on in Superman’s first solo movie. David and Rachel are *amazing* but there's not enough time with them together.

— Andrew J. Salazar (@AndrewJ626) July 8, 2025

For me, #Superman is not only the best Superman movie, but it’s likely the best comic book movie in the post-COVID era. It’s fun, flashy and, well, super. Corenswet is a chatty, charismatic Supes. A great time - I look forward to the future of DC Studios under Gunn and Safran. pic.twitter.com/fLxJ74ClfN
