The review embargo for Superman has now lifted, and critics are suggesting that James Gunn has cracked the secret to success when it comes to adapting comics. While there’s been much talk and debate over how Superman will be received by film critics,

The first reviews for James Gunn's Superman movie are in and they are glowingly positive, offering hope for the DC franchise.
