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.”
