In terms of visual effects, this is a very beautiful movie, with excellent pictures and gorgeous explosion effects. The costumes and styles reflect the fusion of classic and modern. Superman’s costumes are both fashionable and practical, and are well prepared for the sequel. . The new Superman Henry Cavill looks handsome, and Amy Adams looks very cute, which will make a great screen combination. In addition, the story from the birth of Superman to his gradual growth is also very innovative. The bumpy growth experience of a little boy who is difficult to fit in, as well as his inner struggle, and the integration of human beings on the earth, these themes all reflect, the superman’s The inner excavation has obviously risen by a level.
It's just that all of this is only a necessary condition for a film to be "good", not a sufficient condition. The source of inspiration for this film is Nolan and Goyer’s ideas. Goyer is in charge of the screenwriter and Nolan is the producer, participating in the process of choosing the director and the protagonist. It is as if when cooking a dish, an experienced cook carefully selected a series of raw materials, selected a pot, and almost wrote down the process, but he did not have a spoon.
The failure of this film lies in the person in charge. If Zach can be qualified for this film, then this will be a masterpiece, a great restart, and can give Warner the confidence to continue the subsequent production. Just from the box office alone, this film may be the best box office in June, or it will have a place in this year's total box office list. It may make Warner earn a lot of money this year. Is it just word of mouth?
The whole film lacks a sense of rhythm. Although the lyrical and intense scenes are intertwined, theoretically they can promote each other; but unfortunately, under Zach's hands, none of this has been achieved. The improper grasp of the pace of speed, coupled with the desire to incorporate too many other elements, such as human self-help, the mutual gratitude between Superman and the soldier, and Superman’s love story, make this film too procrastinating. In addition, the final battle between Superman and General Zod was just the logic of "You killed my subordinates, and I want you to take revenge", just repeating the previously released Star Trek: Into Darkness.
It is a good thing for Superman to restart with a new attitude, but with Zach's handling, the significance of this good thing itself has been weakened a lot. If he continues to direct the justice league behind, I think I might not have too high expectations-after all, the expectations for this movie come from the beautiful assumption of "a good story", and Zach Snyder did Yes, it shattered this beautiful hypothesis severely, making me totally unable to look forward to the follow-up Superman works.
