Superman is not super

Alysha 2022-12-29 21:19:00

This is a substandard product coming out of the Hollywood routine assembly line. I have the following opinions:
1. The rhythm is not tight. The incompatibility of the climax design, coupled with the lack of humor, made me almost fall asleep;
2. The narrative is clichéd. The patchwork plot is really a waste of a very innovative "Superman".
3. The choice of star route is a failure. I think that for a film to try a new type of film, the first thing is to concentrate the funds on the technical level that can refresh the audience ("Iron Man" is a good example), rather than spending all the money on creating big-name stars." Old" face. Many of the highlights in the story are expressed with the help of montages, and there is rarely the pleasure of high-tech synthesis into one picture.
All in all, an "alternative" superman coupled with traditional performance techniques still can't get rid of the clichéd feeling. Regarding the development direction of genre films, I think we still have to dare to innovate, but the premise is that we should first work hard on technology and form.

    The second half of the movie feels a little bit fabricated, as if the screenwriter can’t write like me anymore

    A superhero movie that is very advanced in the bones, last year's [Deadpool] was actually not alone.

Hancock quotes

  • Kenneth 'Red' Parker Jr.: He hurt you. Didn't he? Aw, use your words. How did it make you feel?

    Man Mountain: Sore.

    Matrix: Bad.

    Kenneth 'Red' Parker Jr.: It's 'cause he took your power. And you have to get your power back. And no one will give you your power back. You have to go out and take it. You understand me? We're gonna find Hancock... and get your power back.

  • Ray Embrey: What about you, buddy? You're from another planet, aren't you?

    Hancock: No man, I'm from Miami.

    Ray Embrey: You didn't come on in, like, a meteor or...

    Hancock: Nope. Woke up at a hospital, first thing I remember.

    Ray Embrey: Government hospital. Yes? Experimenting on you and...

    Hancock: No, Ray. Regular old Miami emergency room.

    Ray Embrey: Come on.

    Hancock: Yeah, uh, my skull was fractured. They told me I tried to, uh, stop a mugging.

    Ray Embrey: Somebody knocked you out.

    Hancock: Guess I was a regular guy before and when I woke up, I was changed. Uh, and the hospital nurse tried to put a needle in my arm and it just broke against my skin. And then my skull healed, in, like in an hour. The doctors were astounded and, uh, they wanted to know my story. Just like you. But, uh, I couldn't tell 'em. I don't know who I am.

    Mary Embrey: Amnesia. You know, the blow to the head.

    Hancock: Yeah, well, that's what they figure.

    Ray Embrey: You don't remember anything?

    Hancock: No. Only thing I had in my pocket was bubble-gum, two movie tickets. Boris Karloff. Uh, Frankenstein. Uh... But no ID, nothing. I went to sign out. The, uh, nurse asked me for my John Hancock. And, uh... I actually thought that's who I was.
