If you are an innocent general audience, just rely on posters and mass media publicity to decide what movie to watch today. When you buy a movie ticket for Man of Steel, you have a pre-set premise: you see this muscular man in a cape who is undoubtedly flying against gravity on the poster, and you have a basic understanding of comic book hero movies. .

So, what do you hope to see from this movie? Those one-star friends?
Wouldn't it be chicken soup for the soul: how a boy exiled on a farm in Kansas found his growth and healing system; wouldn't it be love forever: traveling through the nebula, flying over countless planets just to rescue the one who keeps falling over and over again And screaming lover; it won't be detective reasoning: strict investigation to find out who killed my father; it won't be family ethics: the mystery of the life experience of two fathers and me; it won't be science education: On the self-evolution of Kryptonians in the atmospheric environment.

You know it's a comic book hero movie, which means you've given up all basic physical and logical common sense, including gravity, for a fictitious chicken-and-blood story. right?

So, what can a comic book hero movie on the assembly line show you? The eye-catching muscular man is the first element. The details of the size of the cup are for the brain fans to study; the fight scene that promotes the vigorous development of the construction industry and drives the national GDP is a necessary element, and the bug of long rhythm loss is reserved for editing; direct reflection The sci-fi/surreal scene setting of the director's aesthetic concept is a necessary element, and this issue is put on hold for the time being because of the design of the Romulans' aircraft; if there is love, there is no time to express the unparalleled love, and the rhythm of true love is maintained. Just fine.

Of course, the most important thing is not to forget the output of values, which is what we said, the theme of the film, the subject of the college entrance examination essay: personal heroism, justice must overcome evil, the earth and small human beings must be protected and save.

Right, that's right, we're buying tickets to see comic book hero movies, isn't that the baseline for expectations?

Satisfied with the above, if the rhythm of the film is accurate, the protagonist's acting skills are profound, the theme is digging into the dark and human nature, and the visual effects are innovative on the basis of complete expression, then it will not be praised by everyone. The realm of successful commercial box-office blockbusters (see the Batman series)?

So no matter which indicator is used to evaluate, MOS is basically at this level, just one breath: the city construction destruction scene of the single-sided villain big BOSS at the end of the film should be reduced by half. Henry Carvill used his shirt to cover his chest muscles with unknown cups and put on his glasses gently, smiled slightly, and showed his good teeth at that moment, the young friends born in the 80s, it would be a pity for you guys who fell asleep in the cinema and missed this meme, yes Do you want to give up the next star with a pity?

For those of you who have scored one star, your expectations for comic hero films are so sublime that it makes you cry. It is also because of your encouragement that Manying Films will not be satisfied with each film history benchmark, constantly surpass itself, have the courage to explore new possibilities, and eventually will evolve itself into chicken soup for the soul + unparalleled love + detective reasoning + family ethics + popular science education It's an all-in-one super invincible big Niubi genre film! As a brainless fan, I can't help but eagerly look forward to this day.

(Zack Snyder's lens aesthetic tendency and rhythm that Zack Snyder expressed in 300 is also obvious in MOS - in everything about Krypton, in the fight of the tired Kryptonians, in the zero second acceleration of Comrade Clark Amy Adams disdain for traditional vase selling meat or costumes with unknown purpose, and wearing boring professional clothes from beginning to end is still very beautiful with the protagonist; Henry Carvill has not practiced for many years. A body of good flesh makes people forget about Brandon Routh, who was born in the sky and amazing; Hans Zimmer reproduced his magic, and made a soundtrack that burns all the time. . . . I really want people to give them five stars, but I can't, I'm a brainless fan who pretends to be objective and disciplined, and I must lose half a star because of the protracted fighting scene at the end!)
