Is Superman Taking Flight With Critics?

"[James Gunn] may love this source material, but he approaches it with a mixture of sincerity and irreverence that makes his new movie feel like a window being thrown open to a sunny day after years of oppressively dour DC action. He doesn't politicize Superman, exactly. He just returns the character to his roots as the creation of two Jewish American men whose families fled the pogroms and who gave their extraterrestrial defender of the planet a background as a refugee himself." -Alison Willmore
