First Reactions for James Gunn's SUPERMAN Hit and They're Mostly Positive
The first social media reactions to Superman are finally flying in, and it looks like James Gunn’s fresh start for the DCU may have stuck the landing!
After some early leaked reviews painted a more skeptical picture of the film, these latest first impressions are incredibly upbeat. While a few viewers called out some clunky CGI, most seem genuinely impressed with Gunn’s vision and how he handled these iconic characters.
Of course, social media reactions always come with a bit of a side-eye. We’ve all seen movies get glowing first responses online only to crash and burn a few days later when it opens in theater. But still, I’m excited about this movie, and I hope that Gunn knocks it out of the park!
Let’s see if this movie can keep flying high. Check out the first Superman reactions in the X posts below.
James Gunn cooked. *almost* got too goofy, but never crossed line. Optimism and hope shined bright. Slight 1978 Donner vibes, but establishes itself as a #Superman for a new age. Just what we needed! Full review Tuesday #LookUp https://t.co/DArZ8Frgfe https://t.co/Ku9crh7Fpo
