2025 was a year of great movies, both in terms of blockbuster tentpoles and auteur prestige pictures. And though writer/director James Gunn's Superman may not be the most-likely candidate for above-the-line awards this season, and it won't wind up being the year's top box office earner, it captured our hearts and our imaginations like nothing else in 2025, landing it the honor of being our movie of the year.
It's certainly my movie of the year. I'm a huge Superman fan across comics, TV, movies, you name it, and the film delivered on everything I wanted, including a refreshed take on the long-suffering superhero genre, alongside the care and effort in its filmmaking.
