The unfavorable opinions about James Gunn’s Superman reboot are continuously expanding, with Variety adding their criticism in a review not directly related to the movie itself.
So far that’s two strikes against Gunn’s new Man of Steel.
What does Variety say about Superman?
In a recent review for Amazon’s “Heads of State,” entertainment magazine Variety finds similarities in its humorous style to that of Superman, and even goes as far as stating that “Heads of State” is a superior film.
It might seem tempting to dismiss ‘Heads of State’ as just another film. However, doing so would mean missing out on a movie that, like ‘Superman’, has its share of the fantastical but offers significantly more entertainment (a comparison worth noting, considering they both embrace a mythical form of heroism).
Following the severe critique of his Superman portrayal by The Daily Beast, who labeled the DCU reboot as “awful” and the potential last blow to the superhero genre’s survival, the retort is delivered.
More Trouble for Gunn’s Superman
Up until now, neither Gunn nor Warner Bros. have addressed the criticism, while online responses remain divided. A source hints that viewers might either embrace it wholeheartedly or strongly dislike it.
It’s evident that the jokes about Superman are already prevalent in the recent film reviews from Hollywood, and this occurs even prior to its release in cinemas.
Release info
James Gunn’s Superman movie will take flight in cinemas on July 11, while it’s set for a release on July 9 in several different countries around the world.
In the leading roles, we have David Corenswet portraying both Superman and Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan taking on the character of Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult assuming the role of Lex Luthor.
Additionally featured are Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell.
