Superman: Spoiler-free review
Being human can be such a burden. To have a heart, to experience envy, to make choices, to turn the other cheek, to find your values... It takes persistence, and it takes failure. So what makes someone powerful? Carrying this burden, or giving it up to pursue command? James Gunn does it again, bringing us a bright and fast-paced reimagination of the world's favorite classic hero: Superman. Gunn writes and directs Superman (2025) to reflect the values of the immigrant superhero - someone who is all powerful to tiny humans, yet chooses heart every time - while expertly relating to real world concerns, where the choice to be compassionate is now attacked every day. Yes, it is easier to just not care. But that's exactly what makes a hero, a hero.
