Superman's 'woke' reboot is branded 'pointless' and a 'migraine of a movie' by unimpressed critics - as director faces backlash for calling the Man of Steel an 'immigrant'

The new Superman movie has been met with a sea of just two star reviews as critics are unconvinced of the first foray into the newly-branded DC Universe.

Reviewer Sophie Butcher penned: 'The final act sinks into CGI chaos, with an unsatisfying climax, an eye-roll-inducing reveal, a restlessly intermittent tone, and an insistence on prioritising things and people we don't really care about over core characters.' One of the other negative reviews was from IndieWire's Dave Ehrlich, who admits that both David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane are 'great,' but adds it 'overcorrects for the Zack Snyder era,' the last filmmaker who tackled the Man of Steel in several super-serious and dark movies. Joining Corenswet, Fillion and Gunn in the cast of the motion picture are Rachel Brosnahan (as Lois Lane), Nicholas Hoult (as Lex Luthor), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), Milly Alcock (Supergirl).
