ComicBook.comStory by Ben Hathaway
scrn logline
Only 3 out of 8 live-action Superman movies have a 'Fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but fans believe there should be more.
beat sheet
- Surprisingly, fan-favorite Henry Cavill's Superman movies failed to earn a 'Fresh' rating, with the only 'Fresh' Superman films being the original 1978 classic, its 1980 sequel, and the 2006 critically panned 'Superman Returns'.
- While 'Man of Steel' came close to 'Fresh' with a 57% rating, the DCEU's subsequent Superman films have struggled with critics, with 'Batman v Superman' and 'Suicide Squad' scoring dismal 29% and 26% ratings respectively.
