The first social media reactions for Superman have landed, and we now have a a lot better concept of what to anticipate from the Man of Metal’s massive display screen return. The DC Studios reboot will introduce moviegoers to the brand new DCU, and lots of consider the franchise’s future hinges on its success.
After a few leaked critiques painted a largely unfavorable image of Superman, these reactions are principally very constructive. To date, the CGI appears to be the largest gripe folks had, however past that, most walked away very proud of how filmmaker James Gunn portrayed these characters.
The phrase “mess” crops up once more, however this appears like a crowd-pleaser, and that is what DC Studios might be banking on because it seems to be to revive a model tarnished by the DCEU’s dying days.
As of late, there is a wholesome degree of scepticism surrounding social media reactions. For nearly each film, they are typically overwhelmingly constructive; whereas the total critiques are generally in the identical vein (Thunderbolts* and Sinners, for instance), many usually will not be (Jurassic World Rebirth was largely hailed as a win on X, however ended up with 52% on Rotten Tomatoes).
Nonetheless, there is no denying that Superman is off to a superb begin, and all eyes will now be on whether or not the total critiques are as overwhelmingly constructive as a few of these out-of-theater reactions.
Take a look at the primary Superman reactions within the X posts under.
SUPERMAN reminds us that Clark Kent has at all times been a beacon of hope and the goodness that may exist on this world.

James Gunn’s Superman seems like he tossed each Superman comedian and his total filmography right into a blender and hit purée.
Corenswet’s stable, Brosnahan’s nice, and Hoult is doing one thing, not precisely certain what.
It’s a mess, narratively and tonally, however hey, no less than it’s… pic.twitter.com/aBRytmdQvr

We noticed #Superman and it was a combined bag for our critic. Not a catastrophe in any respect (has some nice moments) however not so good as hoped for. Oddly the film quick-modified an important character – Lois Lane and, surprisingly, Clark Kent. Numerous Supes, not a lot Clark.

I liked #Superman. Gave me the largest, goofiest, stupidest, full-confronted grin as I revelled in every thing @JamesGunn staged. Excellent forged & world constructing. It is unapologetically comedian booky, which will not work for some. However so far as DC Comics motion pictures go, it is a blistering delight. pic.twitter.com/IwBBscFO0r

#Superman completely soars! An superior achievement & hopeful balm, honoring previous iterations (cinema & comics) whereas slicing its personal path. Corenswet has that heroic shimmer. Hoult is delightfully diabolical. Brosnahan brims w/ vim & vigor. Krypto’s adorbs. @Superman @warnerbros pic.twitter.com/8sS3FNFf8i

James Gunn cooked. *virtually* acquired too goofy, however by no means crossed line. Optimism and hope shined brilliant. Slight 1978 Donner vibes, however establishes itself as a #Superman for a brand new age. Simply what we wanted! Full overview Tuesday #LookUp https://t.co/Ku9crh7Fpo

#Superman was my most anticipated movie of the yr & I left the theater with a smile on my face
It is presumably probably the most comedian ebook-y dwell motion comedian ebook movie ever. It absolutely leans into the wacky sci-fi. It actually seems like a comic book ebook or Justice League Limitless on display screen

#Superman soars. It is a non-cease joyride, full of humor, motion, and emotion.
There’s spectacle to spare, unbridled optimism, and a goofy unpredictability that ties every thing collectively, even when there are a couple of minor points. We have by no means seen DC like this, and it is nice. pic.twitter.com/KM2EC0cddd

I completely liked James Gunn’s SUPERMAN. Massive themes, however nonetheless pure pleasure. It put me in a fantastic temper (which isn’t usually as of late); it’s the happiest I’ve walked out of a theater since Prime Gun: Maverick #Superman

I liked Superman! James Gunn embraces the earnest, generally lovably corny aspect of comics and their tremendous (ahem) enjoyable ideas in a approach that evokes Raimi’s Spider-Man. Corenswet & Brosnahan have nice chemistry and completely embody Clark & Lois. And Krypto’s the perfect, clearly. pic.twitter.com/VtnluVFkGp

#SupermanMovie is fairly good. There’s much less of an overarching plot than a sequence of episodes. Some are nice (Superman vs. Kaiju!), some will not be (Superman should escape inter-dimensional jail 😴). Simply James Gunn’s weakest comedian ebook film however I nonetheless had enjoyable.

SUPERMAN: The closest factor we’ll get to a dwell-motion Saturday morning cartoon. The forged (esp David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan) is actually good. It’s a disgrace it seems to be like that. Full overview coming quickly!

SUPERMAN: Gosh, I completely liked this. James Gunn’s characteristic-size comedian ebook splash web page is so unapologetically foolish, earnest, and deliberately corny that it completely charmed me. Left a giant, silly smile on my face by the top. pic.twitter.com/5iKqTmUQFm

Had an absolute blast with SUPERMAN!
It’s overstuffed and messy, nevertheless it’s at all times enjoyable. That is probably the most comedian-booky model of Superman we’ve seen on the large display screen, and it pays off.
Excessive-vitality and really foolish, with its coronary heart in the best place. A superb time on the large display screen. pic.twitter.com/11UdetVXU5

#Superman is a winner. I’ve complaints with the Marvel ranges of CGI. However James Gunn has crafted a splashy colourful superhero movie with great characters. Mr. Terrific stole the film for me.

#SUPERMAN SOARS (even when it doesn’t at all times stick the touchdown). Corenswet is a STELLAR Man of Metal, Hoult’s Luthorious villainy is prime tier, & Brosnahan is a magnetic Lois. Krypto steals scenes & the Justice Gang dynamic punches up this daring new chapter. You have to see it in @IMAX! pic.twitter.com/1kFFnGEjjl

Saving extra of my ideas… however #Superman is simply high quality. Very formidable in making an attempt to thrust us into a brand new universe, however there’s merely *an excessive amount of* occurring in Superman’s first solo film. David and Rachel are *wonderful* however there’s not sufficient time with them collectively.
