Especially the drama. It's Nolan and Gaoye after all.
But after watching the whole scene, I found that the drama was the most intolerable, and there were small surprises in other aspects.
1. The prologue is too long. Special effects rubbish, too big for nothing. The fight was quite lively, but it felt like there was no one on Krypton, it was empty and seemed fake. This paragraph is too long and slows the rhythm of the audience's empathy with the protagonist.
2. The lines are very watery. A more impressive example is that after Superman was sent away by his father, General Zod was furious and shouted: "I want to find him!" Domineering. I was about to listen to the next sentence, when I saw him, he adjusted his expression and
shouted: "I want to find him!!"
Finally, he straightened his back, his eyes were burning, and shouted:
"I want to find him!!! "
The water in the lines creates the contrived performance. Actors rely on subtext to perform, but in the face of paper-like lines, actors have to add material to it so hard that there is an effect of "subtext excess" (self-made words), and all performances are startled At first glance. Amy Adams in particular.
On the contrary, Superman did a good job. He had few ideas and played it slackly, but he could play Superman's simplicity and simplicity (after all, he was born in a peasant boy).
3. The first act (presumably before Superman's first test flight) used a non-linear narrative, which was a bad decision. It's not just who made the plan, it's not worth the loss. The first act, about how Clark Kent discovered and took control of his superhuman body, is a very important part of this coming-of-age story. If the development process is written loosely, it will weaken the emotional strength, and at the same time cause the audience and the protagonist to be intimidated, reducing the audience's desire to watch (plus a paragraph of perspective is placed on Amy Adams, in her eyes Superman The whereabouts are mysterious, making Superman seem unfamiliar).
Plus, this movie always reminds me of Star Trek (the new 2009 reboot). The evil motives of the two villains are both because the home planet is destroyed; both have a huge weapon that can penetrate the earth; both have the plot of the bad guy being sucked away by the black hole (like a toilet flush); most importantly, the big boss's The face is very broad, the expression is very bitter, and the temper is very short-tempered.
Speaking of directing, Zack Snyder basically gave up his expressionist style this time, and tried his best to rely on realism. Some passages point to the "Tree of Life" feel. I think the action design of the film is worthy of praise. This time, Superman's flight has a strong "physical sense", which seems to be very principled. In the past, Superman's flight in Superman films was very freehand, a bit like the theme of Chinese mythology. The soaring clouds and fog style design in .
The fight scenes are lively and beautiful. It's just that he looked familiar, and after going home and thinking about it for a long time, he realized that the speed of the cannonball-like movement is very similar to "Kung Fu"?
I think as the first installment in a reboot series (if nothing else), the combat scale of this film is simply too large. It should be like Iron Man, the first one should be smaller first, the key is that the characters should stand up, and then the next one will slowly get bigger. When it came up, it was at the level of cosmic war, so how will you shoot it in the future?
This exaggerated combat scale setting also hurts the plot:
1. In the face of a huge alien spacecraft that can transform the geophysical environment looming over the United States, what Superman's adoptive father said not long ago "The people of the earth are not ready to accept You, you'll overturn all our scientific knowledge" all turned into a joke. After such a big event has passed, people on earth should still eat and drink.
2. Superman and General Zod fought in the downtown area like Godzilla, and collapsed several buildings, completely disregarding whether the people in the buildings were evacuated or not. It should have been a waste of life after a fight. I don't see how much Superman is reluctant to earth people.
Finally, we have to admire the soundtrack of Hans Zimmer. I listened to the OST first and then watched the movie (suddenly raised my expectations), grand, tragic, and bloody. In particular, the song "Man of Steel (Hans' Original Sketchbook)" summarizes the whole film. The whole song is really a climax in various positions.
