Lagos, Nigeria – Di buzz don dey spread as James Gunn‘s new ‘Superman‘ film don land for cinema on July 11, 2025. E carry plenty wahala alongside plenty expectation. People dey ask, wetin we fit expect from dis new reboot?
First things first, dis film no be about dark vibes wey people don dey used to; instead, na pure comic book joy, wey dey remind us of those Saturday morning cartoons wey we sabi. James Gunn bring him ‘A-game’ come as he try to put smile for our faces again (we don miss am!).
But wetin dey gree for people necks be say after watching di film, style and touch no too dey connect. Some critics don already throw dem punch, calling di movie ‘overcrowded’ with characters and ideas. Na who send dem? We no need to hear say ‘Superman’ dey fight one kaiju-sized monster and still no fit manage small relationship wahala with Lois Lane (talk am, again!).
As we go dive into di story, we see David Corenswet play di role of Superman, wit him charm wey dey almost make am feel like Clark Kent wey we sabi. E get plenty action moments but una fit ask, wetin be di essence of di movie? Di way e take depict kindness as di new ‘punk rock’ fit rub some people di wrong way (who sabi?).
Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane dey shoot her shots well well, her chemistry with Corenswet dey shine bright like Christmas lights. Na dia we fit feel di emotional moments — no wahala. But still, dia dey complain say di film sideline Lois too much, making her one-note (abeg, wetin happen to woman power?).
Nicholas Hoult wey play Lex Luthor don switch am up as di new villain wey no dey hide him hatred for Superman. Him character dey sweet for di mouth but at di same time, him dey show us wetin bad guy suppose be. But after all di back and forth between super and villain, di whole thing fit become too predictable. Wetin happen to surprises for our superhero shows?
Di movie don already generate plenty chat online with some people praising di fresh take while some dey reason say i no too full ground. One reviewer talk say “dis na di best Superman movie wey I don watch,” while another one scatter ground by saying “it fall short of di greatness.” Wetin we go talk be say, everybody get him own opinion as dem waka enter cinema.
As di movie dey come, one thing wey sure be say, James Gunn don come to make us smile again; di question be, can he also make ‘Superman’ fly for box office, or di film go just land hard? Na wetin we go find out when di audience responds. We no fit wait to see wetin dem go talk!
