Superman (2025)

This Superman soars—not by outmuscling Cavill’s brooding demigod or remaking Christopher Reeve’s gentle icon, but by capturing the sense of wonder that first hooked me as a child. When I watched Christopher Reeve’s Superman all those years ago, I felt the awe of a world made bright by heroes. Now, watching Corenswet’s take with my seven-year-old daughter, I can see her experiencing that same wide-eyed excitement. Gunn’s film hands the magic down—a perfect introduction for a new generation, every bit as joyous and inviting as it was for mine.
