Superman Review Out: David Corenswet Is ‘Exceptional' In James Gunn's Summer Blockbuster
Last Updated: The new Superman movie is set to kick off the new DC Universe on the screens. James Gunn-directed Superman, featuring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, is set to hit the theatres on July 11. The upcoming movie will launch the new DC Universe on the big screen. The film will follow Superman 's journey to reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent, who is a reporter. The first reviews of Superman are in, and people have a lot to say. Film critic Bryan Sudfield shared on X that the new Superman movie is a 'bold and faithful" take on the iconic superhero. He said, '#SUPERMAN soars with heart, humour, and style—a bold yet faithful take on the iconic hero. James Gunn sets a fresh tone while honouring the character's legacy, and David Corenswet shines with sincerity and strength. A promising, thrilling start to DC's new era." #SUPERMAN soars with heart, humor, and style—a bold yet faithful take on the iconic hero.

A promising, thrilling start to DC's new era. — Bryan Sudfield (@BryanSudfield) July 8, 2025 Entertainment journalist Brandon Davis shared, 'David Corenswet portrays an exceptional iteration of #Superman with sincerity, heroism, purity, and inspirational traits. Corenswet & Rachel Brosnahan's chemistry for Clark and Lois is off the charts. Their relationship is an excellent driver, especially early."

Movie critic Peter Howell noted that the movie lacks depth. He wrote, 'Not the super start to the DC Universe everybody had been hoping for. James Gunn is brilliant at conjuring spectacle and creating alien realms, not so great at storytelling. " He added, 'David Corenswet plays a boyishly sweet Superman, constantly getting his ass kicked; he'd be better as the lead in a Dudley Do-Right movie. Rachel Brosnahan makes a spiky Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor is more obnoxious than villainous." However, he thought that 'the real star of the show is superdog Krypto, who steals every scene he's in — I'd rather see a movie about him." #SUPERMAN: Not the super start to DC Universe everybody had been hoping for.

When James Gunn gets out of the way & lets his work speak for itself, it's incredible. It's not perfect, but darn close & made me a believer in Gunn's #DC." This is the BEST #Superman movie to date. When James Gunn gets out of the way & lets his work speak for itself, it's incredible. Another Critics Choice member, Rachel Leishman, said, 'SUPERMAN reminds us that Clark Kent has always been a beacon of hope and the goodness that can exist in this world. James Gunn's vision is a comic book brought to life, and it bought a lightness and a happiness to one of the most beloved heroes around."

Aima Baig is tempted to launch jewellery line
In an Instagram Story shared recently, Aima Baig flaunted layers of jewellery that adorned her neck, ears, wrists, and fingers. In the video, the singer adjusted her multiple necklaces while tucking her hair behind her ear to reveal a crescent-style earring. Rings glimmered on her fingers as she raised her hand to show off her wrist watch and bracelets. Although Aima didn't wear anything fancier than a casual shirt and jeans, she sported a big smile to show that she was satisfied with the bling she added to the overall look with her accessories. "Layering up jewels gives me chills. In a good way, of course," she wrote. As inspiration struck, she asked her followers if she should launch her own jewellery line. Whether or not the Baanware singer decides to commit to this endeavour remains to be seen. For now, she's thriving in her career as a musician. Earlier this month, she won the Lux Style Award for Most Stylish Musician of the Year (Critics' Choice) for Satrangi. Expressing gratitude for the accolade on Instagram, she wrote, "Thank you so much. I'm truly humbled." The feat caught the attention of Strings alum Faisal Kapadia, who said in the comments, "Many congratulations! We need a treat." Aima's beau, Rastah founder Zain Ahmad, also offered his support, lighting up her comments with fire emojis. Fans were also quick to offer their heartfelt congratulations, flooding the section with heart emojis. "You deserve it, my girl," a user wrote, echoing the sentiments of many others including fans from beyond Pakistan. Last month, Aima performed for her dedicated international fans in Bangladesh. Sharing the concert photos, she wrote, "Thank you for all the love, Bangladesh. You guys were truly magical, and a huge shout out to Yamaha for putting together an amazing stage."
