New on DVD: Enjoy superhero action from your fortress of solitude with 'Superman'
Published in Entertainment News
The latest iteration of DC's Man of Steel tops the DVD releases for the week of Sept. 23.
"Superman": The iconic superhero is reborn in James Gunn's vision, but with all the familiar elements in place — enemy Lex Luthor, lover Lois Lane — as he fights for truth, justice, and a better tomorrow. Starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult.
"As 'Superman' burns and barks through its slightly more-than-two-hour runtime, we get geopolitics, the swift swaying of public sentiment, a prison within a 'pocket universe' and an interdimensional rift that threatens to destroy more than Metropolis," writes Mark Meszoros of the News-Herald in his review. "It does so breathlessly, packing in too many characters and too many plot threads, resulting in a cinematic affair that is more dizzying than delightful."
