BRUISED and BLOODY Superman in First Trailer as James Gunn Shares Secrets from Set

Image
When viewers first see Superman in the trailer for his upcoming film, he is at his lowest moment. Bloodied and injured, he crashes onto a freezing scene. His breathing is difficult, as if he had fluid in his lungs or even fractured ribs. David Corenswet in James Gunn 's Superman. DC/YouTube Then, hope emerges in the guise of his trusted companion, Krypto. "Take me home," Superman says to his canine companion later in the trailer (seen below). It's one of just two spoken lines in the piece—the other is a small child with his eyes closed and carrying a handmade flag who mutters "Superman, Superman" in desperate optimism—but it's a statement that hints at the hope that writer-director James Gunn sought to instill in his new film. Superman, created in 1939, has for decades exemplified his slogan, "Truth, Justice, and the American Way," with the character standing as a metaphor for the wonderful things America can represent to the worl...

'Kraven the Hunter' Review: The Thrill of the Hunt is Lost in This Origin Story

Image
Midway through the punishingly dull Kraven the Hunter, Ariana DeBose — playing a high-powered lawyer linked to a string of gangster killings who flees a team of hitmen in her London office and lands in Siberia — says with a straight face, "I don't like the feel of this at all." Not joking. The moment was definitely not supposed to be funny, but it makes you wish director J.C. Chandor and the writers had embraced the ridiculousness of this confused Marvel villain origin story with a little more winking comedy. Aaron Taylor-Johnson in ' Kraven the Hunter. '  Sony Pictures Instead, those indications of a so-bad-it's-good guilty pleasure are a brief glimmer in an action thriller that pours a lot of blood but never increases the stakes or sparks enthusiasm. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, with his rock-hard abs, plays the main character with great physique and knife abilities, but he's too wooden to enjoy it. Overlong and punctuated with anticlimactic killin...
