One of myfavorite scenes in writer/director James Gunn’s energetic but scattershot “Superman” is also one of the simplest. Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane comes home to her apartment and finds David Corenswet’s Clark Kent cooking her “breakfast for dinner” as a surprise to celebrate their three-month anniversary.
Clark says that’s her favorite. your favorite. Lois says no—that’s They’re in that awkward and halting but sweet start-up period in a relationship, where one of them is ahead of the other in terms of making a commitment and they’re still getting to know each other. Oh, and then there’s the fact that Clark is Superman, and Clark Kent, the Daily Planet journalist, keeps getting exclusive, friendly interviews with Superman, but Clark agrees to give Lois an on-the-record interview with Superman. The result is a clearly written, well-performed conversation that feels like a funny romantic comedy with serious undertones, as Lois asks Superman fair but tough questions about the ethics of his decision to end a coming war in a foreign land without the approval of the United States government. Good stuff. There are a number of well-executed, dialogue-driven scenes mixed with the explosive CGI battles, the existential drama and the laugh-out-loud cameos, and writer/director Gunn admirably focuses on showing Superman as the embodiment of the classic American immigrant story—but this first entry in the new DC Universe left me with a cinematic fast-food vibe. You enjoy the flavors well enough, but you’re left feeling as if you’ve consumed a familiar, empty-calorie (relatively) Happy Meal. Despite the sincere and strong performances by Corenswet and Brosnahan, and plenty of colorful turns by the talented supporting cast, the fantastical elements of the Gods and Monsters universe come across as leftovers from Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” films and the battle sequences feel like fast-edited, unoriginal copies of fight scenes from dozens of other superhero movies. We’re left with a decent but not great take on “Superman” that, at times, will remind you of the 1978 version, but doesn’t quite match it for pure pop entertainment value. As for Corenswet, he makes for a charming Superman, but he can’t quite match the movie star power of Christopher Reeve, nor does he have the unsettling, laser-focused ferocity of Henry Cavill. We’ve had nearly a dozen versions of Superman on screens big and small through the decades—and for that matter, about the same number of Lex Luthors. This latest version makes for enjoyable-enough popcorn entertainment, but ultimately leaves us wondering: was it even necessary?
