Superman review


Supermanreceived favourable reviews with critics praising the performances and the screenplay.

The Times of India gave it a rating of 3.5/5 and described it as ‘ entertaining and enjoyable’.

“Superman is entertaining, enjoyable, even epic but never intense. James Gunn’s non-origin story soars high visually but stays limited emotionally. The director’s unyielding need to go traditional comes at a cost. It is still a tremendous cinematic experience that deserves to be watched in IMAX,”read a portion of the review.

The healthy word-of-mouth is expected to stay strong today (July 17) despite the fact that it has reportedly fallen prey to piracy
