Superman 2025 Movie Review with Matt (some Spoilers)

I'm actually very surprised by the mixed reception this movie is getting online. To your points- I didn't care too much for the change to his parents, because it has always been a thing in prior superman content that his earth parents are who raised him into the superhero that he is today and that was something the Cavill movies glaringly failed to do, as exemplified by Man of Steel where PA Kent says maybe he shouldn't save people if it means revealing his powers. I can see how he may seem like the "weakest" portrayal of superman, but to be fair, the film establishes that it was the first fight he had lost in 3 years as superman, and the person he lost to was also being led by Luthor and his team (who spent who knows how much resources to learn how to defeat superman). If anything, I appreciated his losses because the villains were also highly competent.

I have never seen a stand alone Superman movie and I thought this was pretty good as an introduction to the character. I gave it an 8/10

I loved it as well. Quick question Hold's...the way you feel about Superman's lore and creative decisions right now, is that how you felt about Tom holland's Spider-Man in the beginning?

I loved it. 🖖
