Mike Francesa rips new ‘Superman' film as ‘pure torture' in fiery rant
Mike Francesa went scorched earth on the Man of Steel. The legendary sports radio personality tore into the newly released 'Superman' film during a 15-minute rant Monday on his self-titled podcast, calling the James Gunn-directed blockbuster 'pure torture.' 'For someone who's an old-time, TV show 'Superman' guy trying to get entertained for a couple hours, and wants to see Superman, this movie was pure torture to sit through,' Francesa said. Advertisement 3 Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor (l.) and David Corenswet as Superman (r.) in 'Superman.' Jessica Miglio '… If my name was on the credits, I'd hide it, that's how bad it was… This was unmitigated garbage.' Advertisement The movie, starring David Corenswet as the titular hero, grossed a whopping $125 million domestically in its opening weekend. Even with a fresh Rotten Tomatoes score of 83 percent, Francesa took exception to the appearance of Superman's canine companion, Krypto, in the film. 3 Mike Francesa is not a fan of the new Superman movie. The Mike Francesa Podcast/YouTube 'There's a Superdog, who came up with a Superdog? We all like dogs, ok. And I didn't like the dog getting beat on in the movie, it bothered me. Who came up with a dog with a cape?' he said. Advertisement It's safe to say Francesa won't be giving the superhero flick a second chance. 'This movie is so bad that if you asked me to go sit through it again, I would want major, major cash before I could do it,' Francesa said. 3 Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane (l.) and David Corenswet in 'Superman.' ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection '… It was two hours of pain. It was the worst thing I've ever seen. Advertisement '… I was thinking about inflicting pain to myself just to keep myself awake. That's how bad it was. This movie was dreadful.' Francesa, 71, has made a name for himself with epic monologues over the years, taking down teams like the disappointing 2024 Jets, the Yankees for their sweep at the hands of the Mets last July, and countless others. But Francesa's 'Superman' take was breaking new ground. The Post's entertainment critic, Johnny Oleksinski, clearly disagreed with Francesa and awarded the movie three out of four stars.

‘Superman' movie review: James Gunn's kinetic take sets the Man of Steel to soar
DC Universe's Supermanbegins with a short history lesson in multiples of three, including the fact that a baby landed on Earth from the dying planet of Krypton 30 years ago and debuted three years ago as Superman (David Corenswet), the protector of the planet while working as the mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent at The Daily Planet. That magic age of 33, is yet another parallel with a son who was sent to earth by his father for the redemption of humankind. Three weeks ago, Superman intervened in the Boravia's invasion of Jarhanpur (all existing in the mythical lands of somewhere-istan). Three days ago, Superman faced his first defeat at the hands of the Hammer of Boravia. He heads off to his Fortress of Solitude to heal, with Krypto the Superdog, helping him on the last leg of his journey. Superman (English) Director: James Gunn Cast: David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced Storyline: Superman and his arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor, face off as a black hole threatens to break the world in two Runtime: 129 minutes The multibillionaire, Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) who might have a vested interest in Boravia's expansionist views, assures the US government that he can restrain Superman if he becomes a threat. As Clark Kent, Superman enjoys success at work and is in a relationship with fellow reporter Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan). A kaiju attack keeps Superman and the Justice Gang (a working title), Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Mister Terrific (Michael Holt), and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) occupied, while the Fortress of Solitude is breached and Krypto kidnapped. Another attack on Jarhanpur, a smear campaign against Superman, a maximum security prison in another dimension, and a black hole threatening to rip the world to be ripped in two, are some of the fires Superman has to fight while figuring out his place and relationship to and in this world. Guardians of the Galaxy veteran, James Gunn brings a lightness of touch to this legacy superhero who made his first appearance in a comic book on April 18, 1938. While discussing the film, Gunn has been quoted as saying the film features the science and sorcery of old Max Fleischer cartoons. Gunn has done away with doom, gloom and spandex angst to create a hero, whose superpower is a big heart, kindness and decency — all of which are in short supply in these fractious times. There is humour as well in this outing with the Man of Steel, from Krypto's scene-stealing shenanigans and Green Lantern's abrasiveness to Luthor's monkeys spreading hate online and his girlfriend, Eve Teschmacher (Sara Sampaio) putting selfies to good use. The electric action sequences are given an extra charge thanks to the kinetic camera. The profusion of reds and blues lends both a warmth and coolness to the proceedings. Corenswet makes for a strong and true Superman, while Hoult has the time of his life allegedly channeling Steve Jobs into his Luthor. With thrilling action, wild science (give me a pocket universe to disappear into), eye-popping sets, humour and heart, DCU's Superman is everything you would ask of a holiday movie. Superman is currently running in theatres
