Superman Review - A Disappointing Mess From James Gunn! (Superman 2025 Review) | Superman Movie Review 2025 In this video, we delve into the evolution of Superman in Hollywood, from his iconic debut in 1938 to the pivotal role he played in shaping the superhero genre. Highlighting key film adaptations including the 1977 classic, 'Superman: The Movie' starring Christopher Reeve, and subsequent reboots such as 'Superman Returns' (2006) and 'Man of Steel' (2013), we scrutinize the latest iteration directed by James Gunn. Despite high expectations, Gunn's approach receives criticism for misrepresenting Superman’s character, turning him into a weaker, less inspiring figure. We also discuss the controversial creative decisions, the involvement of characters like Lois Lane, Lex Luthor and the Justice Gang, and Gunn's handling of modern-day social agendas. Ultimately, while the film has some redeeming qualities, it is not the great movie that fans were hoping for.
