Superman review, directed by James Gunn, all point to the originality of the concept as the main idea of the director when using the classic superhero plot. This is unlike other Superman movies since it gets right into the action by not taking time to narrate the already known origin story. The audience is also basically familiar with the background of Superman, and thus, James Gunn is wise enough to put this aside and concentrate on the new adventures.
David Corenswet plays the role of new Superman and introduces a new face, associated with the beloved red cape. The review critics of Superman commend his endearing performance with his traditional superhero appearance having curly hair and a very defined jaw line. There is another character who gives a heart to the action packed story and that is Krypto, the superdog of Superman.
The movie does not dwell on Superman only. James Gunn brings the dealings of Justice League, such as, Green Lantern as well as Metamorpho, Mr. Terrific and also Hawkgirl. The characters demonstrate a similar chemistry that made the Guardians of the Galaxy a success and they are girders of future DC Universe movies.

Unique & refreshing superhero film. It's dense, drops you right into the action. True comicbook film with heart but not perfect, few things didn't land well. Cast, music, vfx, action all solid. Want to see more of this world & characters. James Gunn delivers! pic.twitter.com/U3Zsf1bn1h
