A man deemed an “alien” has his face crushed into the pavement by a masked thug. He’s then renditioned to a top-secret black site prison where he’s tortured. No, these aren’t images from today’s news — it’s from James Gunn’s new take on “Superman.

The new film - directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as the fictional superhero, with Rachel Brosnahan as precocious reporter Lois Lane - will go on general release from July 11.

Much of the fun and frustration of Gunn’s movie is seeing how he stretches and strains to make Superman, you know, interesting. In the latest revamp for the archetypal superhero, Gunn does a lot to give Superman (played with an easy charm by David Corenswet ) a lift.

Superman feels like a beginning, and I am thrilled to see what happens in this universe next. The post Superman Movie Review appeared first on Vital Thrills.
