Superman Fluctuates on the Rotten Tomatoes Meter

Following its first release and receiving 55 reviews, the movie was labeled as ‘fresh and appealing’. Kicking off with a promising start for the newest Superman adaptation, it currently boasts 154 reviews since the latest update, resulting in an 85% rating. As James Gunn endeavors to differentiate his take from Zack Snyder’s version, it seems that the superhero film is shouldering a significant burden of expectations.

The director’s previous endeavors encompass a variety of films within the Marvel Cinematic Universe such as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 (earning an 85%) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 (also 85%), along with Avengers: Infinity War (85%). From the DC Universe, titles under their direction include The Batman (85%) and Batman Begins (85%). Other superhero movies they have helmed are Superman Returns (72%), Man of Steel (57%), Superman III (31%), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (28%), and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (14%). However, this director has yet to surpass the original Superman film by Richard Donner, released in 1978 (86%), as well as Suicide Squad (90%) and Guardians of the Galaxy (92%).

In July 2025, David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult will portray the iconic characters of Clark Kent/Superman, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor, respectively, in a fresh adaptation of the classic tale set to premiere.
