The earliest superman image in my memory comes from the collective watching of the school days. Although the film technology of the year was far inferior to the current special effects, the omnipotent superman was simply awe-inspiring at the time. The memory left at that moment is so unforgettable, after a long period of time, it can still recall a number of episodes at that time. Superman is not considered to be the first comic book hero to appear on the big screen in the United States. I have not studied it carefully, but the release distance of the first Superman movie in 1978 is not a short time. After that, Batman, Spiderman, etc. have all appeared on the scene. Comic heroes have brought a more dazzling visual revolution. Today, audiences have long been spoiled by special effects, so will the return of Superman be able to regain the power this time?
To be honest, I’m worried about Superman’s return, because compared to Batman, who relies on technology to arm himself and rely on local special abilities, Superman is not just a person with special abilities, because of his super power source. From instinct, not to mention that he was originally from an alien planet and was fundamentally different from human beings. Therefore, he is not a person but a god for humans. For humans, the power of God is too strong, and there are almost few opponents that can compete with him. In the film, the image of Superman can be described as a heroic god, always busy saving mankind and punishing criminals, and every time he is so calm and relaxed. Superman is really perfect, and the starring Brandon Rose is also handsome. The superman placed in front of the audience in the film is a perfect god. On the other hand, because Superman is too powerful, the special effects in the film are more manifested in his power. Lifting the big guy up and down lightly, instead of jumping and dodge like Spider-Man is more exciting, so the special effects of the film On the contrary, the impact was not as strong as other similar films.
However, the problem is that it is too perfect. It widens the distance between the audience and the superman. People can only pay homage to this tall and perfect god without getting close. Spiderman and Batman are different from Superman. As a member of human beings, they have to struggle with all kinds of mundane things. Their hearts are also full of joy, anger and sorrow, and their opponents are usually stronger than them. They need to prepare plans. Find ways to fight the enemy. The superman in the film seems to be detached and beyond the mundane world, always smiling and facing everything, seeming to have a kind of confidence that everything is in control, above the world like a god. In fact, for comic heroes, their dual identities are what makes the audience feel their humanity. Originally, Superman’s reporter Clark’s ordinary identity can be used to highlight his pyrotechnic side. However, in the film Clark’s role is too much. Few and unsuccessful, not enough fresh and three-dimensional. Most of the time Superman is flying around in the air, and the lens is bird's-eye view, beautiful is beautiful, but after all, he is a god hanging over our heads. So as the leading actor, Brandon Rose was a perfect success as Superman, but he appeared a lot thinner as Clark.
As a successful director, Brian Singer still considers Superman's excessive strength and needs to arrange some setbacks for him to feed the film. The first problem faced by the film after Superman’s return is that Louise got married. This emotional scene that made Superman a third party is indeed not bad, but in the end the director did not let Louise’s husband disappear or become a villain to perfect Superman. And Louise's feelings. Although this ending is not too unconventional, but on the other hand, it also makes the emotion between Superman and Louise sublimated more noble, and the image of Superman has become like a saint. As a result, Superman has become more perfect and even more unconventional. The effects of cannibalistic fireworks seem to be counterproductive, but what is interesting is that the film arranges a successor for Superman. On the other hand, the film also caused Superman to be knocked down by the villain Luther who calculated that he lost his superpowers. This is the only place in the film that makes Superman a little embarrassed, but the contest between the pros and cons is not very exciting. As the actor Kevin Spacey, who plays Luther, although he has played many villains, the reality in this film is not evil enough. In fact, most of the villains played by Spacey in the past are those who are good at disguising the inner vagina. You can feel it by watching his previous performances in "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Very Suspect", but in this comic-based film, his performance is too gentle and elegant.
The advent of this Superman movie has enough gimmicks. When a series of movies comes to an end, then it’s a good choice to restart. The story of "Superman Returns" looks similar to "Batman 5." "The story is similar to the same. However, with an investment of more than 200 million to create such a movie in front of me, how much money was spent on Warner's is worthless. In fact, the fate of this movie is hardly clear in two or three sentences. In the planning stage Constantly changing scripts, directors, and actors have already burned $50 million, enough to create a medium-invested film. Speaking of a small episode, the original script of Warner Corporation planned to let Superman die, but after the change, it may feel that the script is really outrageous, and then it is back on the right path.
When I walked out of the cinema, I only felt that this one hundred and forty-minute film made me see that later it was a bit on pins and needles, and I heard the girl walking beside him saying that it was really worth the fare. Indeed, an eye-catching superman flew over. The movies that fly away have enough beautiful images to stimulate the eyeballs. For many viewers, everyone is happy to see a super perfect puppet, but it is difficult to say whether such a comic book hero will make people feel aesthetically tired. It depends on each person's own taste, good or bad is also a matter of opinion. For Superman who returned to the screen after more than two decades, many viewers missed it with a feeling of affection. The film did take great pains to let Marlon Brando, who had been gone, replay the role of Superman’s father. Films that were not used in the previous two Superman films were re-cut and combined, allowing viewers to understand this brand-new Superman film from the heart of the previous Superman series. The North American box office of "Superman Returns" has dropped so sharply from the first week to the second week. It is really worrying whether Warner can recover this huge cost. Such lack of staying power at the box office also illustrates the film’s many flaws. when
