It\u2019s the first in a series of films in the rebooted DC Universe. Audiences are taken into the life of Clark Kent, a journalist for the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily Planet <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who doubles as the world\u2019s greatest superhero: Superman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is the protector of the fictional city of Metropolis and works at the newspaper with familiar faces from the comics such as Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Editor-In-Chief Perry White.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our protagonist has faced several foes, but none have managed to defeat him until he meets the Hammer Of Boravia\u2014a villain from the fictitious country of Boravia\u2014who battles the Man of Steel and overpowers him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The foreign villain is later revealed to be Ultraman, a clone of Superman created by Lex Luthor, a wealthy entrepreneur with a strong hatred for the Kryptonian.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Corenswet plays Superman like he was born to do it. He gives the character a level of vulnerability we haven\u2019t seen since the CW\u2019s TV show <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superman &amp; Lois<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. His portrayal is emotional and rash throughout the film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, Clark flies to Lex Luthor\u2019s headquarters to confront him about sabotaging the Fortress of Solitude\u2014Superman\u2019s base of operations\u2014and stealing his dog, Krypto. He kicks the doors down and demands to know Krypto\u2019s whereabouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That scene made me feel the same rage that Superman was experiencing. I have owned a dog and would do anything to get him back if someone took him. Those experiences humanized the character for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His relationship and banter with Lois Lane, who is played by Rachel Brosnahan, feels like it&#8217;s \u00a0 out of an episode of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superman: The Animated Series<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lane believes that Clark shouldn&#8217;t be with her just because they are different. She doesn\u2019t understand why he has so much faith in humanity and his perspective as a super-powered being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their personalities clash and the fact that Clark is not human gives their relationship more depth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor is spectacular. The man is an absolute hater and I love how envious he is. His jealousy of Superman reeks from the moment he\u2019s introduced. His menacing tone ran chills down my spine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing up, I watched <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superman: The Animated Series<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and read a lot of the Silver Age comics. Watching this movie, I felt nostalgia that brought me back to my childhood. It was like seeing a comic book coming to life in front of my eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The addition of the Justice Gang\u2014a privately-owned superhero team\u2014was great for the world building of the new DC Universe. We jump into a world with established superheroes, eliminating the need for origin stories that we\u2019ve seen in different adaptations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The humor in this film is alright. Sometimes it hits, other times it misses, but Krypto was the heart of the comedy. Seeing the furry canine in all his glory, acting like an annoying mutt is hilarious considering he\u2019s well trained in the comics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr. Terrific, a member of the Justice Gang, has a funny relationship with Krypto. He becomes frustrated after the dog destroys one of his gadgets, which made me laugh uncontrollably.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MVP of this film is Jimmy Olsen, portrayed by Skyler Gisondo. His romance with Eve Teschmacher\u2014Lex\u2019s girlfriend\u2014helps the heroes stop Luthor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superman<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an amazing display of faithfulness to the source material while crafting a unique story. If you\u2019re searching for a film that shows the humanity of superheroes, this is for you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the commercial failures of Zack Snyder and Walter Hamada\u2019s DC Extended Universe franchise, we get a fresh start with Superman\u2014a faithful adaptation of the iconic hero.
