Man of steel blu ray special features movie#
Movie Quality: 9.5/10 Print/Audio Quality Those who disown this film because of the levels of action or destruction are completely missing the point, if I may be so bold as to say so. Nothing about what happens contradicts the identity of the character. He is not a god, he is not immune to mistakes or shortcomings, and he is just starting to fully embrace the implications of his heritage and his abilities when everything goes crazy, and the earth and humanity are basically in danger of destruction. Again, this is intended to be a realistic take on Superman. There is the issue of the ending, but for me, it is a complete non-issue. It is beautifully rendered in the cinematography and visual effects, wonderfully cast with a group of terrific actors, and contrary to what some may say, has substantial heart and emotion at its core. But the thing is, Man of Steel’s virtues far, far, far outweigh any of its weaknesses. The script could be better, for one thing, and some of the editing is a bit jumpy. As the saying goes, any sufficiently advanced technology at first seems that way.Īgain, I do not consider this film a masterpiece. This version of Krypton involves more of a focus on technology, but it is just advanced technology, not magic. Thus, the characters (all of them, including Superman and the other the Kryptonians) act and react like real people, because they are real people. It is a first-contact story, designed to show how such an event might play out if it did occur. I used the word “realistic” a few sentences back – of course a being with superhuman powers is not a real thing in our world. Man of Steel takes the core concepts and brings them forward to the present, and it does a wonderful job of it. But that should never consume a character. Not that there is anything wrong with reveling in a franchise’s heritage. Even in 2006 Superman Returns was looking decades back into the past for inspiration. Superman has spent far too long chained to nostalgia for either his 1930s/1940s origins and/or the aesthetic and tone of Richard Donner’s iconic 1978 film. Not everyone likes this, but that just goes to demonstrate an ideological divide among viewers. It is not a flawless masterpiece – in spite of the obvious similarities and parallels, this is not on quite the same level as Batman Begins – however, it absolutely gets the conceptual approach that was needed to take this character and re-launch him as a realistic, real-world entity in the heavier landscape of the twenty-first century. This is the modern Superman film that we have been waiting for. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. A young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth.
