Story and Plot: Hope in the Face of Darkness

This version of Superman isn’t an origin story, nor is it the brooding outsider we’ve seen before. Instead, James Gunn presents a more optimistic, grounded, and human Superman, already established in Metropolis and juggling life as a reporter and superhero.

Without diving into spoilers, the film explores:

·         Superman’s struggle to fit into a modern world that sees strength as a threat

·         A deeper emotional bond between Clark and his adoptive Kansas family

·         Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) as a manipulative genius with terrifying motives

The plot is tight, emotionally driven, and refreshingly character-focused — a welcome change from overly CGI-heavy superhero flicks.

 

A Cast That Shines

Corenswet brings charm, humility, and strength to the role. His Superman is kind without being naive, powerful without being arrogant. He captures the essence of what Superman should feel like in 2025 — a symbol of hope, not fear.Rachel’s Lois is smart, sarcastic, and fearless. She shares amazing chemistry with Corenswet and proves herself as much the heart of the film as the titular hero.

Forget previous versions — Hoult gives us a chilling, calculating Lex who is terrifying without ever raising his voice. He’s not a madman; he’s a capitalist manipulator with a terrifying vision.

 

Direction & Visuals: James Gunn’s Vision

Gunn manages to walk a tightrope between sincerity and spectacle. The action is well-shot, with practical effects wherever possible. The Metropolis skyline is vibrant, yet grounded. Kansas is warm and nostalgic. The film never loses sight of emotion, even during big fight scenes.

What truly stands out is Gunn’s attention to tone: the film feels hopeful but never cheesy, modern but never cynical.
