I don't watch Romance drama, not my genre nor cup of tea.


But heard "Pirates: Stagnetti's Revenge" is a nice watch.

Join him? I'd be surprised if I've never let you know that you're a woke chanter till now

Haven't gotten around to seeing the Superman movie yet but the Mr. Terrific praise I'm seeing on the timeline warms my heart.
Hope he becomes one of the most popular characters in the DCU franchise cos it's about time ma boy, Edi Gathegi got his flowers.

The universal praise I've been seeing is for Nicholas Hoult. Others already see him as GOAT Luthor.

I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.

SUPERMAN (2025) 9.5/10

SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER!!!

I wanted this movie to flop but I was proven wrong.

This movie does everything right. The jokes. The subtle political themes (Israel v Palestine). The action. The visuals.

The movie was well paced. No boring part. I really hated Lex Luthor which means the actor did his acting well. Lex Luthor hated superman with a passion. Gaddem. The casting was just so good.

Abduleez1 well done. You escaped blasting as this movie didn't flop.

Sha, lets see if DC can keep this up.

Fantastic 4 movies usually flop hard. Let's see what marvel will do...

Someone said the president of Boravia looked a bit like Benjamin Netanyahu and now I can't stop thinking about it.

That’s the wild part—I literally said Superman is a really good movie. Some of y’all get so locked into this “woke/not woke” loop you don’t even clock when someone’s giving the movie props. It’s like if it doesn’t match the outrage script in your head, you just fill in the blanks yourself. I’m not the one calling everything woke—you’re the one seeing ghosts where there aren’t any.

The praise massive

DieRich5:
This film's worldwide gross will definitely surpassed $900 million

I wish Nigeria Cinemas will show it so I can add my money to it

For the box office enthusiast is this good?

MacDaddy01:
Bro, I'm gonna call you out. It is your MAGA crew that has been shouting "woke superman" and they have been proven resoundingly wrong. Nerdrotic, Ben Shapiro etc.

It is like they have a script for ragebait and false outrage.

Kaycee7:
You do you too, babes. Just own it with your chest

Illusioneffect:
My MAGA crew?, when TF have I said I'm MAGA😂😭.
That’s fair—some of them definitely run on autopilot with the outrage. I’m not here defending that. But just because I rate or critique something doesn’t mean I’m riding with the whole “MAGA crew” either. I don’t move in echo chambers. If the movie’s good, it’s good. If it’s bad, it’s bad. Doesn’t always have to be some culture war storyline attached.

$100mn marketing budget...$225mn production budget. Great. No wonder WB execs said they'd be happy with a $500mn global haul. Zaslav is happy. We move.


SUPERMAN has done what it was tasked to do. Successfully launch a new universe with critical acclaim and rave audience reception as well as prove it can make money.

We can say it with confidence now. DC IS BACK!!!
The fandom has never been this optimistic for almost a decade.

I call it how I see it, man. If something leans too hard into agenda over story, I’ll say it. If it doesn’t, I’m not gonna force it just to feel part of the pack. That’s the difference: I’m not team-following, I’m just watching movies.

Lol...

I think Superman was always going to succeed because of the hype around the entire "Future of Comic Book movie Franchise" resting on it's shoulders...which I think was ridiculous to start with as no single movie alone can determine that...

I am glad it is doing well...I didn't expect that much positive reaction to it, but I expected it to succeed financially...

But those Supergirl and Lantern projects don't look like they will garner that much interest.

Who TF cares about Supergirl
A character like Supergirl is one who cannot stand on her own. A female version of Superman because every successful male superhero must have a female version...

I may be wrong but I don't see a Supergirl movie succeeding unless they plan to advertise it as being very integral to Superman like the way a certain movie was advertised as being integral to Endgame

Edit:

On second thoughts, Milly Alcock is so pretty that she might sell the Supergirl movie by herself...
I will definitely watch it for her alone even though I don't care one bit about Supergirl

abduleez1:
Lmao.... You don start again.
Only one Japanese film don ever surpass $500mn before? Even tho it's this same franchise....Japan is currently a depressed market.

I dey still dey wait to roast you with your SMURFS movie with Rihanna making $600mn abi how much you give am.

abduleez1:
Nobody thought female led superhero films were going to be successful until DC proved everyone wrong with Wonder Woman in 2017. That movie is the singular reason female superhero stories are now given more prominence and even solo movies.
We can do it again.

I've always felt Supergirl is somewhat weaker too but recent box office dynamics and audience behaviour makes me think this film can do moderately well if it's good and with good marketing.

The fact that Jason Momoa is in this movie makes its hopes for success all the more likely, that's why I'm happy for the casting. Milly Alcock has also tasted some good level of popularity from the GOT universe and fanbase, so that helps, unlike SUPERMAN where the lead is almost a nobody.

Now where I think things will be very crucial is marketing this movie well for the BARBIE fanbase. That demographic of women can do wonders. Girl power. She's got it. Appeal to women, she's well liked. So if WB can nail the marketing to that demographic just like how BARBIE became an event movie for females of ALL ages worldwide — this movie can be successful.
That demographic is currently suffering serious neglect. There's hardly enough of any at all, good movies geared towards females presently in Hollywood. That's why I was damn sure BARBIE would do well years ago despite everyone mocking me saying it was gonna flop. Having the face of Margot Robbie and the guiding hands of well liked director Greta Gerwig meant assured success.

It's because of BARBIE scenario that's why I feel this movie might do well, also not being farther from SUPERMAN release extends enough goodwill to this project.
SUPERMAN has done half of the job— driving excitement for the new universe and upcoming films. The rest is on the individual projects themselves.

The anime will break his own record this time

I said SMURFS will be making $500M
