Where´s Superman?
(SPOILER ALERT!)
I don’t
know about you but the last movie of Superman, doesn’t quite fit. I ask where
he is because I saw him in only bits and pieces. (When he saves every kid on
the bus or the guys in the oil refinery at sea)
Not in
its fullest. Not the Superman I wanted to see. Its 2013.
I think
everyone that loves Superman already knows his origins, why he has 3 names (Clark
Kent, Kal-el and Superman)
Who´s his
greatest villain & what´s his day job.
I hate
watching mixed films in one (AVATAR with MATRIX or Independece Day with GATTACA)
Jor – El flying
with a beast?
Babies
breaded in little aqua pods?
Reproduction
is illegal in Krypton?
There is
no right way to do a Superman Movie because you cannot please everyone. FACT.
But you can still try giving us something new or that we haven´t seen yet.
In this
last movie Superman is full of doubts( I think it’s a way to connect with young
audiences) But we are talking about Superman.
Why does
he scream in anger when he kills Zod? He died like Bane on the Dark Knight
Rises. You build up this Biggerthanlife SUPERVILLAIN. And like that… he´s gone.
It´s as
stupid as Darth Vader screaming “Nooooooo!!!” In Episode 3
Why does
he hesitate his every move?
Superman
is a superhero. He is our Champion! Needs no sidekick.
Why DC even
bothered copying Marvels The Avengers and Thor´s destruction scene of a small
town?
Why?
INDEPENDENCE
DAY ripoff (YOU ARE NOT ALONE) jamming all of earth´s transmitions to deliver Superman????
I loved
all the flashbacks (Ridley Scott´s Robin Hood or Gladiator TYPE )but they
should push us forward instead of (Army welcoming ALIENS) MARS ATTACKS! Tribute
middle part.
Anybody
else noticed no President of the U.S.A. on the movie?
Every decision
was made by the army?
Superman was
HOPE, is HOPE & forever will be HOPE.
I would’ve
liked to see a more complex Superman an older one more interesting. Not a one
dimensional character.
Someone
so special, so strong and powerful.
Should
have no doubts and that s what makes him an Alien.
Basically
We want
to see him fly!
The essence
of Superman lies on a scene where no dialogue is spoken.
When a
young red caped Clark and his dog are enjoying the wind.
That’s it
Not the
ILM special effects, not the explosions, not the logo or the suit nor the alien
invasions.
Every kid
dreamed to fly away
That´s
Superman.
I´m a big
fan of comic books and one that helped me understand the importance of
narrative intelligent storytelling was Superman´s Death.
From the
initial pounding of Doomsdays fists in darkness.
To Kal
El´s lifeless body in the remains of a city.
Who can
kill Superman? That is the question. And that is the movie I would rather see.
In DC´s official
website under characters there is a brief synopsis of Doomsday.
“On one dark day, the planet wept as the
World’s Greatest Super Hero fell. No one will ever forget the day that Superman
died. Nor will they forget the name of the monster responsible—Doomsday. A
creature whose rampage of destruction and violence could only be stopped when
the Man of Steel made the ultimate sacrifice.”
