This isn't the actual review. I'll start on that ASAP and get it done - don't worry! (Because I know how you worry, pals!) But I also don't want folks really reading what I have to say until the film has been out more than a few random screenings on a Tuesday.
We saw Superman (2025) at the AMC Barton Creek on Tuesday, July 8th, 2025 as part of an oddball promotion with Amazon Prime, Fandango and Superman I guess.
I'll say this: I really, really liked the movie. If all you want to know is if I think it's worth a viewing - sure. Go get a ticket.
Much as I went into Black Panther terrified this was going to go badly and then was just stunned by what I saw, this was that - only bigger. It may surprise you to learn I have a lot invested in Superman as a character.
It was also wild to walk into a theater full of people not just in Superman shirts, but sporting the S from this movie in large quantities. When you shop at one of the biggest comic shops on the continent and they *still* know you as "the Superman guy" it can feel like maybe you're the one person who likes the character. But holy cats, did the Superman fans come out of the woodwork tonight. The dudes in front of me were regularly quietly high-fiving.
Anyhow - I don't think this is just opening night hype.
Y'all go see my guy, Clark, and his cool friends.
I hope you saw JD's Letterboxd rating for the movie and gave him a good talking to. Also, I was worried when you don't post for several days. Gives me the urge to fly to ATX and check on you.
ReplyDeleteNah. Everyone gets their opinion. He just needs to go listen to some Mighty Crabjoys.
