The early passivity is unimaginatively dismantled in the second half by an interminable climax against General Zod (Michael Shannon), who wants a MacGuffin-like codex device to save his own people by, wait for it, destroying the Earth’s population. This is until the film recalls the overused comic book guilt thread, when something happens to his stepfather Jonathan (Kevin Costner), who is treated like a cipher for Clark’s internal conflicts. He’s a cross between Christ and Bruce Wayne. Some of the details about Superman’s passive nature, in having to hide his powers through various jobs like a fisherman and a bartender, seem interesting for a little while. His script is heavy on clunky, expositional dialogue and backstory and light on character development and a thorough plotline to drive the film’s narrative. Goyer (Batman Begins) retreads many of the same tired tropes of the superhero genre but lacks its own unique complex moral dilemmas and the personal relationships of Nolan’s Batman films. But when there are heavyweight names behind the project like Christopher Nolan, who produced film and has a story credit, we expect a lot more. It’s sadly what makes them bankable to teenage boys. It’s not uncommon for blockbusters to play out like video games today. Every explosion, shout of dialogue and special effect, and Hans Zimmer’s repetitive score, is cranked up to ear bleeding decibels. Man of Steel is also quite possibly one of the loudest films of the last ten years. Every scene is desaturated by ugly, grey, muted tones, so that Superman’s costume is the only colourful force in this world. The crowded street scenes of panic do not merely echo the dust covered streets of panic from 9/11 but fetishise the synonymity of the images through their frequency and duration.
After an hour final hour of swooshing around and biff, where no one seems to get hurt, it’s a numbing emotional experience. Superman’s damage toll is so great in this film the people of Earth would be better off without him. Now Snyder, who directed the comic book adaptations Watchmen and 300, is keen to bludgeon us with endless fight sequences and the vision of buildings collapsing. Superman was a comic book character invented in the Great Depression Era to fight against injustice and corrupt politicians. Some of these ideological practices aren’t new – they’re just louder and more bombastic and blaring than ever before. Henry Cavill’s Superman (Clark Kent/Kal-El) assures some military grunts that because he was raised in Kansas he’s as American as they are. If you’re not with America, you’re against it. Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel believe that one man can save the world against outsiders of American values like the family unit. Given that, the same writer, David Goyer wrote both superhero films and the similarities are quite evident at times.
#MAN OF STEEL BLU RAY UNBOXING SERIES#
Unlike the previous Superman films, Man of Steel is quite a dark and melancholic film which parallels other Zack Snyder enterprises and that of the recent Batman series directed by Christopher Nolan. Man of Steel is the 2013 reboot of the Superman franchise and follows the journey of alien Kal El (aka Clark Kent) as he comes to grips with his superhuman powers, his “humanity” and that of Earth’s only saviour. Format: Blu-ray (Including DVD and Ultra Violet)
