Age Range

Superman is a movie that has some mature content. This film contains some violence, action, strong language, intense scenes, and sexual references. Although, there are a few perilous situations, in general this movie is very mild. This movie is good for most ages: I would recommend 13 and up.

Final Impression

Superman, 2025, is a great movie that combines Action with Science Fiction and is a good remake of the DC Comics character, Superman. I think that the introduction into Clark's life and character is not as well done as the movie Man of Steel, 2013, but that the implementation of other DC Comics characters was a nice touch. The one thing that I liked the most about this movie was its understanding and implementation of Superman's character. The directors and David Corenswet truly took Clark's kindness and humanity into account and created, in my opinion, the most charactly sound Clark Kent in cinematic history. Superman is a good movie that shows the hardships of balancing trying to save the world with working out relationships and experiencing everyday life.
