Where the hell is Clark Kent?
Superman is my favourite and maybe the only superhero i
like... Many of us prefer him over the rest is because he has that
human-normal-guy in him... clark kent – the nerd who is normal and shy... The
superhero part comes later... Lois Lane should fall in love with Clark Kent not
Superman...
Superhero element??
Superman is about him saving people in Earth, not about some
boring story of how he came to Earth from Crypton... He saves the world yes but
half of the story is about how his father sent him to earth. And when he finally is on earth, its too
gloomy... the sarcasm and the humor is missing unless at one point a woman says
“i think he is hot”
Where is the lurrrveeee...
A suspicious Lois follows superman. Obviously the charm of
the romance is missing. No chemistry, sigh. At least have good dialogues to
cover it up? Not even a proper kiss? At somepoint they hold hands in some
dessert and share a very awkward kiss.
Core Value of superman is missing. His dad dies, when he
could have saved him.
Instead of creating the superhero part it gives us a tragic
depressed feeling. Dad chooses to die than being rescued by a superhero son, I don’t
expect it to be bollywood but oh common... it could have been better.
Superman is not about moral ambiguity but moral certainty. He
worries about what to do and has doubts on how to act on it. He can’t grasp what
the right thing is when the essence of his character is about doing the right
thing at the right time. Not being able to bring it out in the movie is tragic.
The way he killed Zod. Unbelievably ridiculous !!
Why is superman so popular? It’s not his undies nor the
cape...
It’s his ability to reach people, support them... his compassion...
he was a hero for everybody... Not a man in a cape, not a disguised journalist,
not just another friend, not just some lover... his character was an essence of
every bit of it...
The core essence of his character... that was missing... !!!
