Growth and change may be the theme of this movie

In a well-known story, it is not easy to find a story that can be told, and it is even more difficult to tell the story well.

If you can simply summarize the plot, Clark has known his own difference since he was a child. After he grew up, he became an intern reporter, met Lois, and became familiar with him at work. Who is the mysterious man in black who Clark meets monitoring him? As he continues to protect the people of the metropolis, can he face the threat from the universe again?

If you want to relax, watch explosions, fights, and have a bit of emotional drama, then it's still a qualified movie.

If you want to find the information you don't know in the DC universe, you may be a little bit disappointed.

If I hope to surprise myself, I am afraid I will be disappointed. After all, there are only so many stories to tell. New ideas are limited.

The following design spoilers


First of all, fortunately, the movie didn't take 5 minutes to tell everyone that Krypton was about to explode, Clark was put into the escape pod, and he was brought up by his couple. Obviously, the director thinks that everyone knows this period of history, but if you say that, it will bring a different story to the old audience, but the next thing can only be said to be reasonable. When he was a child, Clark and his friends watched it. In the movie, seeing aliens attacking humans, my friend was shocked, and he cried aggrievedly. The father in the car comforted him. When Clark grew up as a trainee reporter in the metropolis, Lois showed his prowess and sent Luthor to jail when he came up. I have to say that the plot here is pretty good. Lois still has short hair and jeans, which is wild and capable, while Clark prefers to go out of society, full of vigor, and a little confused. Here Clark is not really a superman. He helps others out of enthusiasm and sympathy, rather than the consciousness of being a superman.

Later, the plot became a bit fascinating. Lobo came somehow and played a game, indicating that he was going to take away the last Kryptonian. It is said to create surprises for the audience, but there is no coherent or suggestive plot in the previous plot. For example, Luthor launched a rocket to detect Lobo’s signal to the earth, or Lobo took a mission in an interstellar tavern, learned that the Kryptonians were extinct, only saw the statue, and then took a separate mission to the earth, although clichéd, But it won't appear obtrusive.

Later, the cleaner was affected by the fight between Clark and Lobo and transformed into a parasite. Lobo suppressed Clark with a Kryptonite ring. The Martian Hunter helped. Lobo was arrested and the parasite let Lobo away. Clark lost to the parasite and asked Luthor for help, and Luthor asked Lobo for help, using the power plant as a bait to attract the parasite. In the end Clark realized the meaning of being a superman, spoke out and fought. In the end, the power plant will explode, and the parasitic demon uses his only remaining consciousness to absorb the excessive energy of the power plant and die. It was this episode of the plot that was reversed too much, and there was nothing helpful to Clark's psychological development in transforming into a superman, and it would not surprise the audience, which was quite a demerit.

However, Clark's overall emotional line description is good. From the initial incomprehension, to the ignorance of entering society, to the later awakening. And to draw out the line of feelings with Lois, and to grasp the sense of mutual affection between the two, rather than one step, it is relatively interesting.

Generally speaking, it can only be said to be an ordinary movie, which failed to bring surprises. It's okay to empty your brain, don't want to watch anything with the plot, lie on the sofa while eating, and relax on weekends.

Superman: Man of Tomorrow quotes

  • Superman: They meet someone from stars and their first instinct is to fire at will.

    Martha Kent: They love you.

    Superman: They don't know me, and I am afraid that when they do...

    Martha Kent: Maybe you are what they need. If they know about you maybe they will see things differently.

    Jonathan Kent: Or maybe the government will lock him up, or worse.

    Superman: At some point they are going to ask me "Where I am from and why I was sent here?" And I won't have the answers. And in the meantime, one way or the other Lois is going to publish her expose.

    Jonathan Kent: You know what they are going to say, what we've always said: the world is dangerous and unforgiving. If you are different, special, you have two options: you can either...

    Superman: Either meet it head-on and accept the consequences or you can keep you head down and accept the consequences. There is no wrong choice, but...

    Martha Kent: But you have to make one.

    Superman: Why?

    Jonathan Kent: Because you are not our little boy any more. Becoming a man means making these choices for yourself. Just be ready. Because each choice, each action, has consequences.

  • Lois Lane: People with that much power think they can wield it over everyone. If you can take that away from them for a moment you can take it away for good. It's called a power move. And I don't wanna brag, but it's kind of my specialty. That and paper jams.
