Ben Shapiro has slammed the new Superman movie as a failure that betrays the hero’s core American values. The conservative commentator ripped the film’s visuals as “complete CGI vomit” and attacked director James Gunn’s obsession with “gross and weird imagery.” Shapiro argues Hollywood erased Superman’s true spirit, replacing classic heroism with disturbing scenes that clash with the character’s patriotic roots.
Shapiro specifically targeted the movie’s excessive computer-generated effects. He called out Gunn’s “addiction to kind of gross and weird imagery,” saying it doesn’t fit Superman’s traditional Americana style. Action sequences were dismissed as chaotic messes lacking clear superhero moments.
The film features bizarre body horror elements that Shapiro found particularly jarring. Characters morph into “weird tentacled octopuses” during scenes, and Gunn repeatedly shows eyeballs being violently pierced. These choices left Shapiro’s wife feeling uncomfortable and distracted from the story.
Superman should represent truth, justice, and the American way, but this version misses the mark entirely. Instead of inspiring hope, the film drowns viewers in psychedelic nightmares that feel like “LSD CGI vomit.” The wholesome hero millions grew up with has been replaced by unsettling visuals.
Director James Gunn previously claimed the movie carried an immigrant story about “basic human kindness,” leading to accusations of woke messaging. But Shapiro countered that the political themes were actually weak and undeveloped, not the film’s core flaw.
Social media erupted after Shapiro’s review, with many mocking his take. Critics pointed out his history of panning superhero films while audiences generally enjoyed them. The backlash highlights the divide between Hollywood creators and everyday Americans.
This Superman reboot illustrates Hollywood’s disconnect from traditional values. By prioritizing strange visuals over heroic storytelling, filmmakers erased what made the character iconic. They’ve lost touch with the patriotism and moral clarity that once defined such heroes.
Shapiro’s stand reminds us that real Americans want their heroes back. Superman should inspire, not disgust. It’s time for Hollywood to respect the classic ideals that made these stories great in the first place.
