Can anyone shill me on why Superman 2025 was a good movie?
I thought it was awful, but apparently I'm in the minority.

I enjoyed superman being the anti hero for a bit. Getting smacked around 😂
The dog was nice.
I haven’t watched it. Not a fan of the whole franchise tbh .
I hated it! (I actually didn’t watch 😂)
Haven't seen it. Always found Superman to be pretty boring in general.
I watched a hacked version on a jailbroken Fire Stick.
I only remember that I'm happy that I didn't have to pay for it.
All superhero movies are childish drivel slopped out to neotonous manbabies.
No, now is a bad time
What, there was a Supermann movie in 2025? I am getting old
I cannot. FIN
I think it’s getting rated high because people see Superman being nice to the fictional puppet Palestinians and mean to the fictional puppet Israelis.
Don't believe the hype. On money, movies or anything else.
Nope, I agree with ya....
It’s the hypermasculine alpha male hero worship ego thing. (All of which you are not). Most of these movies these days are a good indicator of how many people are typical and think along a similar societal demographic. The military has a division that creates “echo chambers” so people are more easily segregated into labor class divisions. I made a point in my life to escape my American conditioning and now I can see it objectively. Most of these movies to me just feel like over produced propaganda keeping people believing in their lower and middle income positions so they feel valued for thinking like each other.
Because James Gunn knows what he’s doing. Even Disney had to cave to his principle based influence during their failed attempt to out him from Guardians.
Ps. Find all the other films where paid ratings were similarly ratioed by audiences and you’ll see patterns.
What a load of toilet-filler. Political ideologies thinly velied as entertainment. Zero out of 5.
Terrible movie. I don’t get it either.
Like all crap coming out of Hollywood this is another one down the toilet..
🎯
The tiny hats loved it.
Hollywood is mostly done with good movies.
Hi sorry, could you please repost my Geyser 🙏🏻 it’s for my son 🙏🏻 thanks so much

Wrong. The majority thinks it’s awful, but the media amplifies only good reviews
Yeah it sucked. I had to watch an original shortly after to cleanse my palette, then wondered how queasy this would have made an 80s human if they were forced to watch.
It's bizarre what movies have become, just a series of TikTok videos stitched together.
Incorrect
I have to agree.
Terrible movie. When superman started fighting Godzilla, I turned it off.
I think people enjoyed it because it was silly and campy like the old Superman movies. It may have been mid, but compared to the race to the bottom of all superhero movies to be the darkest and grittiest it felt like a relief
The worst director for a Superman movie, (great for guardians of the galaxy) but Superman IS NOT a funny character. Awful movie.
The trend of adults running around in bright colored costumes is somewhat ridiculous, if you think about it.
Oof, might start binging that tomorrow while building.
I think the how cynical you are (and we KNOW Bitcoiners are cynical) and how much you hate the movie Venn diagram, is a perfect circle. 🤣
Every movie that comes out now after COVID is all propaganda, Hollywood got caught fucking little kids. You might want to look into that.
I think this nails it
Maybe to say it another (similar) way it was enjoyable because it was fun and not too dark. I wouldn’t classify it as a “good” movie. Just a fun movie and an enjoyable trip to the theater with my son
Never seen it. but just rewatched the incredible hulk for the first time in 15 years and gotta say; i now understand what people meant when they said it was an awful movie.
Superman was absolutely atrocious.
Fantastic 4 did a fairly decent job at entertaining me though.
It was fucking awful. It was like a cheap tv miniseries. The best part was Holt’s Luther - I kept rooting for him.
Superman is strong enough to stop this train
All Superman movies are awful.
It was pretty entertaining.
Haven’t watched it as I was superhero fatigued early in the prior Marvel and DC cycles and still haven’t recovered. Maybe if it was a honest standalone with no plans to turn it into a franchise - probably would have been an entirely different film though than what they made.
Debated watching it but haven't. Looks dull.
Hater … Lois lane rocks 🪨
Although, David Corenswet feels like a breath of fresh air in Hollywood based on his acting abilities and off camera persona.
No way it will be anyway as good as the quest for the keys.
Tomato and popcorn often don't match my rating. IMDb is usually much closer.
It was fine. I think generally people enjoy superhero movies and since most of what’s come out in that genre over the last number of years has been unwatchable then this looks good by comparison.
I liked Man of Steel but that’s probably because I think Henry Cavill is beautiful. 😂
He is beautiful. Annoyingly so...
i'm with you
That's Lois, and yeah she's cool. Superman is dumb though.
Clark Kent though … fire 🔥 I like glasses 🤓
Superman always sucks lol
Same. Could only watch 20 minutes of that garbage.
No. I have to draw a line there. No more! This is fiat madness!
There was a new superman movie? lol
Insert purple Elmo let it burn 🔥 meme
Wtf is wrong with you
Of course it was bad, it was a James Gunn joint.
Ratings of movies these days don’t make sense anymore
Define "good movie". It's dumb semi nostalgic fun but it's not Citizen Kane or Lawrence of Arabia. Hell, it isn't even Encino Man.
I don't really enjoy the superhero genre, but at least Superman had an admirable protagonist, and wasn't the same dark, nihilistic drivel we've been getting.
It was so bad.
It was like Guardians of Galaxy movie, lot of things lot of chaos and at the end you feel good if you have reference of things. For kids I doubt they would get all the references in the movie.
a lot
It's not.
The fake frustration monologue Superman gave to Lex Luthor at the end was so cringe.
Maybe people found that relatable. Maybe people ironically felt well represented by the perfectly put together virtue signaling white man that is cursing the world for the challenges we're unable to overcome...and it's ok to be mad because it's no one's fault except our own because we're human
😴😴😴
Not sure why we need to redo old shit over and over again. Not interested at all.
We didn’t even bother. The trailer was trash.

Agreed it really sucked.
Spot on
Well said.
Yeahhhh, was NOT a fan at all.
Oh man.
It’s a whole conspiracy - WB paying a bunch of people for positive reviews. Bots (like the pocket universe monkeys).
When you see the movie and then the scores - I begin to buy into the conspiracy.
Or, you've got your priorities in better alignment.
It sure wasn't good fr...
Am with you on that
Just finished it tonight. I feel like the casting was actually pretty good overall, but the story absolutely sucked. That was one of the worst plots I’ve seen in a long time. It felt like James Gunn struck out trying to hit a grand slam when all we wanted was a solid double to get the DCU started off on the right foot
I haven’t seen it, but everyone I’ve spoken to who has, hated it.
Alright, I watched it.
My theory is it’s rated a good movie because it was so obviously designed to be that way to a very specific slice of the market and at a very specific time: younger generations (and bizarrely, the boomers) of the left and at literally right now in time. They focus-grouped this script to death and threw into the story every possible thing young people today seem to like:
Dogs as your children ✅
Evil quasi Russia/Israel state ✅
Evil billionaires/tech bros ✅
Asexual complicated partner ✅
No hero allowed (collectivist mindset) ✅
There are probably more.
Could explain the divergence in opinion, the script just doesn’t subscribe to the historical context of older, or middle, generations nor middle or right leaning audiences. And it may not have been made to be enduring across time but rather to be appealing to those hyper focused on current events, maybe even those with short attention spans (ie the TikTok generation).
Quick productions, based on very current events seems to have been happening more and I wouldn’t be surprised to see even more of this with AI taking a larger role in productions.
