Corenswet was really good. His Kent is fun to watch, and he showed more acting chops during his 5 minute “interview” scene than Cavill did in any of the three films he was in. Cavill’s interpretation was fine but it will forever be tainted by starring in two of the worst superhero films of all time. I’ve seen The Witcher and the Ungentlemanly Warfare movie and he was ok in both… nothing amazing but he has charisma.
I’m disappointed that Gunn didn’t have Superman dispatch goons immediately to set a basis for his power, we see him struggle immediately (literally). Snyder did the same thing, which Singer of all people avoided. I feel it’s always important to show a superhero absolutely in control of a situation early on to add stakes to the big spectacle fight at the end. Think back to Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, the Iron Man films, the Captain America films, Thor, Batman, Black Panther… they always have the establishing fight scene where the hero easily takes out random thugs or soldiers. Gunn put that at the VERY END of his Superman, and I feel it would have been more effective to see that earlier on in the film.
Hoult stole the show, btw.
