As both the first installment of theDCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monstersand a reboot of the Man of Steel, many are hoping for its success.
As perRotten Tomatoes' official page for the DCU film,Supermansits at an 85% approval rating from critics.This is from 110 reviews, meaning 85% of those critiques of the film gave it a positive review. To make this even more exciting,Superman’s 85% score matches that ofAvengers: Infinity War, a film that crossed the $2 billion threshold in 2018.

What Superman’s RT Score Matching Avengers: Infinity War Means
The Future Looks Bright For Kal-El
Superman’s Rotten Tomatoes score matching that ofAvengers: Infinity Warcan only mean one thing: the DCU is off to a very good start.Avengers: Infinity War’s status among theMCU’s movie rankingsonly goes to show how muchSupermanmay resonate with audiences if an equal percentage of critics gave both positive reviews.
Although the matching RT scores do not meanSupermanwill matchAvengers: Infinity War’s $2 billion gross, or even hit $1 billion, for that matter, it at least proves there is momentum going into the former’s opening weekend; Critics are enjoyingSupermanas much as one of the biggest superhero movies ever made, which only bodes well for its worldwide theatrical opening.
Our Take On Superman’s RT Score Matching Avengers: Infinity War
For me personally, I am very happy to seeSuperman’s score matchingAvengers: Infinity War’s. After all, I think the latter deserved a much higher score, in that I believe more critics should have given it a positive review. Of course, movie opinions are subjective, but many would agree with me thatInfinity Waris one of the MCU’s best.
IfSupermanis receiving a similar, at the moment equal, level of acclaim asAvengers: Infinity War, it can only bode well for the DCU’s first official movie. The high review score proves that the years of hype and anticipation were not going to be wasted on a mediocre movie.
Thankfully,Supermanis resonating with critics and will hopefully do the same with audiences, just asAvengers: Infinity Wardid.
