WHILE LATEST SUPERMAN REBOOT MAY NOT SET THE SCREEN ALIGHT, THE STUDIO CAN STILL BANK ON BOX OFFICE SUCCESS
OPENING with a lingering refrain of composer John Williams’ main theme, the latest reboot of the Man of Steel is a boisterous but bloated romp fashioned by Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn to appeal to as many people as possible without truly delighting anyone.
A menagerie of offbeat characters, including Krypto the dog, competes for limited attention between bombastic action-filled set pieces that rely heavily on digital effects to pack a punch.
David Corenswet’s embodiment of the Kryptonian orphan is wholesome and familiar, down to the single S-shaped curl of hair tumbling across his forehead, and there is a gently simmering screen chemistry with Rachel Brosnahan’s appealingly spunky and forthright Lois Lane, while Nicholas Hoult’s duplicitous Lex Luthor is a slow burn.
