Superman<\/p>\n
WB<\/p>\n
While critic reviews came pouring in yesterday for Superman, now it\u2019s the audience\u2019s turn, the one who will actually determine if the movie is a success or not (and with an estimated $200 million opening weekend, indications are that it will be).<\/p>\n
Those audience scores have gone livem and as of right now, Superman has set a new audience score record for live-action Superman films and is just under the critic record right now.<\/p>\n
Superman currently has an 85% critic score and a sky-high 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>. That 95% is above second place, Zack Snyder\u2019s Justice League cut, which has a 92% and an army of Snyder superfans who were certainly going to score it high. Though whether you want to consider Justice League a \u201cSuperman movie\u201d is up for debate, as that\u2019s sort of like considering four Avengers movies \u201cThor movies\u201d or \u201cIron Man movies\u201d I\u2019m not sure it counts, though it may be the case the audience score dips below that in the future.<\/p>\n I would be surprised if it went down to third place, the original Superman: The Movie starring Christopher Reeve. That\u2019s the film that is currently beating out Superman by a single percent, as overnight Superman dropped from an 86% to an 85% with a few more reviews in. Here\u2019s the overall list, sorted by audience score.<\/p>\n Superman<\/p>\n RT<\/p>\n Superman has been a notoriously hard nut to crack, with a rival like Batman or even Wonder Woman generally getting more praise for their films. Even the original stretch of Superman movies ended with two terrible ones, Superman III and Superman IV, despite still starring the excellent Reeve.<\/p>\n As it stands, it\u2019s possible that Superman could regain the critic score record or lose the audience score record as more reviews come in for each. Some critics may not have been invited to early screenings, so more will be coming in. And this is still very early for audiences, given that these are excited initial viewers. But we\u2019ll see. Either way, so far, so good. Very good, in fact.<\/p>\n Follow me <\/strong>on Twitter<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong><\/a> Bluesky <\/strong><\/a>and <\/strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the <\/strong>Herokiller series<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>The Earthborn Trilogy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n
