How are critics reacting to Superman's 13-minute diatribe on why he tore down the wall between the US and Mexico in the middle of the movie?

Apparently the entire sequence is in Spanish with subtitles, so of course all the snooty libtard critics ate it up.
I really liked #Superman. It’s beautiful, hopeful, and reminds you why these stories matter. Just the absolute solid comic book movie I needed. pic.twitter.com/EegA50ABr9

I saw #Superman tonight…and I can honestly say what @JamesGunn has done with this character & this film is nothing short of amazing. It’s a top 5 film of the year DC Studios is officially on the map, and if this is anything of what we can expect to see it will be a force to be… pic.twitter.com/OxLk71L7Sp

David Corenswet is a great #Superman not just because of his traditional appearance but understanding of his heart and altruism. Needed more time with Clark Kent. Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific is a star. Devolves into too much no stakes destruction but good overall. pic.twitter.com/C542umMY5L

#Superman is a comic book movie that shakes the rust off of an entire genre. 🦸♂️

James Gunn once again proves he’s the best in the biz at balancing humor and heart, but this time it’s never felt more important. 💙

#Superman made me so incredibly happy. It’s vibrant, exciting, and full of hope, wonder and awe - everything a Superman movie should be and a comic brought to life with a cast of characters that all stand out in the best ways. It wears its heart on its sleeve the entire time… pic.twitter.com/lmTOar42Yk

Trailers for Superman didn’t really move the needle for me much. I’m pleased to report that I fucking loved it. Full of energy and a big beating heart at the center. I’m suddenly very invested in this new DC era.

#Superman soars with heart, heroism, and spectacle. David Corenswet brings warmth and sincerity to the Man of Tomorrow. While the plot feels a bit bloated, it’s a clear sign that James Gunn understands these characters at their core. Excited for the future of the DC Universe. pic.twitter.com/iPsEJXdX9v

My OUT OF THE THEATER Reaction for #Superman is up on my channel now!
— John Rocha (@TheRochaSays) July 8, 2025
Two minutes of my overall thoughts on the movie, James Gunn's vision, the chemistry between the actors and their performances, and the overall energy of this new #SupermanMovie .

I was never worried about Corenswet or brosnahan, as Superman and Lois. My concern was Lex and Mr.Terrific, but it sounds like they knocked it out of the park with those two. Now, my only concern is being turned into a bleeding heart liberal by Gunn's indoctrination.
That is a cool theater!!

That's not "curation".
If anyone wanted to go to Twitter, we could just do that. We don't need 53 reposts. And you tried to call me deranged. Jesus.

So you're objecting to the Twitter posts on this thread. Is that correct?20ag07 said:

Well, I actually appreciate TC dropping these in the thread. I enjoy reading the responses.
Thanks, TC!
No movie has 53 straight reposts of things said on Twitter.
They have conversation from users.
If anyone want 53 Twitter reposts, they could just go get them on Twitter. It's not like they're curated from known critics.
53 is crazy.

Dude, seriously, all this hate and anger inside of you is gonna eat you up. Get off the internet and step outside for a while. It'll do you wonders.

This is a major event movie about one of the most famous characters of all time. I don't care if TCTTS reposts 1,000 tweets. Good on him!
No joke, TC's curation of X posts are one of the key features of this board. I literally go here after a release of a big movie to get kind of a consensus. Frankly, it's better than rotten tomatoes. As someone so eloquently put it, touch some grass, dude.
Agreed
I wish other places on the internet had someone so passionate about the hobby post there

I just wish to God they were all on one post so you don't have to scroll through page after page of them my God.

Counting the number of tweets is more deranged imo

I would suggest putting TC on ignore since you have stars. All his posts will be minimized and you won't see anything he writes. Since you seem to have carried your jurassic world grudge for him over to a second thread, that would probably be in everyone's best interest.20ag07 said:

TIL I missed out on more fun by not following the Jurassic World thread. (FWIW will probably wait for streaming on that one.)
I'm hopeful because of the cast. It looks fun. Glad to see it being described as 'hopeful' - which is what I figured it would be despite the noise. I really think the banter about policy has very little to do with the actual movie, it's people using their platform to complain and drum up attention...which does come off as kind of cheap when political outrage is so selective depending on which party holds leadership...but you can't let it ruin the experience.FL_Ag1998 said:

Good call. It was... Not good.
TC,
Thank you for consolidating all the tweets so we could read them in one place! I enjoyed reading each of them last night. All the positive reviews about the movie have me even more excited about watching it tonight with my son (which also happens to be my late father's birthday). Tonight will be special.

Seeing it tonight with my wife. I married well! [/no rule 1]
Seeing it tonight as well. I need a hopeful movie right now while my dad is going through heart failure
This is good advice for a lot of people, and especially for someone who complains more than my wife.FL_Ag1998 said:20ag07 said:

That's unfortunately the vibe I've been getting. Disappointing they can't figure it out, at least the original is an all timer.schmendeler said:fig96 said:

Sorry to hear, hope it picks you up and that your dad improves as much as he can.Saxsoon said:

Need to try and catch this before I'm traveling for the next several weeks. Glad to hear the reviews are positive and sounds like the castings have all worked well. That was definitely my biggest concern. Still slightly worried its to crammed and rushed, but looking forward to it.
Praying for your family and father Saxsoon.
