RIGHT OUT OF THEATER...And Still Crying!

We break down David Corenswet’s earnest portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman (his first “my Superman” for many fans), Rachel Brosnahan’s fiery Lois Lane (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Nicholas Hoult’s cunning Lex Luthor (X‑Men & Nosferatu), Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific (X‑Men: First Class), Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl (The Last Of Us Season 2 & Dora and the Lost City), Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern (Firefly), plus The Engineer (María Gabriela de Farí­a), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan from Barry) and Perry White (Wendell Pierce). The prior DCEU era form Zack Snyder had Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam! and Justice League—but now we look forward to upcoming DCU films: sequels to Superman, Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns, The Batman 2, The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl, Teen Titans, Clayface, Wonder Woman, plus The Authority and Swamp Thing. Expect shout‑outs to James Gunn and Peter Safran’s bold DCU Chapter One vision. #Superman #JamesGunn #DCU #Superman2025 #Reaction #MovieReaction #MovieReview #DavidCorenswet #RachelBrosnahan #NicholasHoult #DCStudios #Peacemaker #GreenLantern #Hawkgirl #Supergirl #Batman #ManOfSteel #Review #reaction #react #moviereaction Meeting W/ James Gunn https://youtu.be/eMeWKHc0cyY 28 Years Later Review: https://youtu.be/5KUgiV_BAks Man Of Steel Reaction: https://youtu.be/vVE8KCrC-Mw Batman V Superman Reaction: https://youtu.be/YBXA9PAxcXs 0:00 - Superman Review 1:29 - Superman Reaction 3:32 - Performances and Themes 4:54 - Comic Book Inspirations and Visual Style 6:23 - HUEL! 8:07 - Lois Lane & Lex Luthor Dynamics 10:01 - Supporting Characters and Humor 11:28 - Krypto and Ensemble Cast 12:50 - Visuals and Action 14:21 - Modern Commentary and Direction 16:00 - Final Thoughts and Emotional Resonance Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y Vlog: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9TdRZC0NvGLve0eNWmUjzs

Saw the movie and recently been struggling tried to unalive myself few weeks ago just really in bad spot. Came home and spent the best time with my kids and felt like there's still hope. I'm not a fan boy but this really is a movie to watch when you have the world against you or yourself.

I just got to watch the movie, and I truly have no words. I haven't felt this strongly about a Superman since the old 70's Reeve version, he's so so painfully human and earnest and vulnerable in this one. The movie is fun and colorful, action-packed, incredibly charming, but always with this undercurrent of real emotion and heart throughout everything. I absolutely loved it!
