TheBlackNaruto said: MoS was actually a good REBOOT for Superman....it set the stage for them to do more with it. I personally liked how Lois found out who he was right away, that gets that out of the way for another movie. I like how they forced Superman into a corner and gave him no choice but to fight. The script was a good set up/start for things to come. I am a Superman fan and thought the movie was good. People are upset because it is not the Superman they wanted but it is BY FAR the best Superman movie to date....in my opinion. |
Dude, people aren't happy with the movie because it was bad. Besides the fact that that character had nothing to do with Superman, there were pacing issues and plot issues. Why was Lois Lane on the spaceship? Why was the Jor-El ghost omniscient? How did the other Kryptonians become so strong so quickly when it took Clark years of being exposed to the yellow sun? Why was Zod trying to turn Earth into Krypton? And why the hell were they constantly going back to the Daily Planet staff during the climax?

No Man! You didn't liked the film because you didn't understood it. This reboot is a complete success, no more no less! The vast majority of people that doesn't like the new direction took in MoS, it's because they was looking for a simple remake of the first film. It doesn't make sense, and it's clear that Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan took the good way by trying to explain what Superman means today, 30 years after the first film and 75 years after the Comics itself! In MoS, the story relate how Superman begin Superman not what Superman finaly is. We face a Kal-el looking for his roots and his place is "our" world. This period of his life is completly absent from the first films, and knowing that, it was totally impossible to expect seeing the same kind of film!
So, they did a very good job and took many risk by trying to modernise the Superman's myth! The result isn't perfect, perfection isn't from this world. Now, to explain what people should have understood after their watch of MoS. This film is about the creation of Superman, and the only moment when the Superman is clearly revealed to the world is when he enters the elevator of the Daily Planet, checking his cravat and putting his glasses = Superman is accomplished when his Clark Kent journalist identity is revealed! This is what Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan wanted to tell us in their famous reboot!!
To quickly respond your "questions" :
1. Why was Lois Lane is the space ship ? She was following Kal-El and trying to discover what was hidden under the ice. Really need to explain that?? Or maybe you doesn't speak about this ship? Can you add more informations in your questions ??
2. Why was the Jor-El ghost omniscient ? It was not Jorel but his mind stored in the Sup's key considered as the codec during the first part of the film. From their very advanced sciences, we could expect that Kryptonian was able to store their own mind in a computer or a specifics storage. It's Science Fiction, dude...
3. How did the other Kryptonians become so strong so quickly when it took Clark years of being exposed to the yellow sun? The others Kryptonians aren't strong as Superman is. Remember that Sups manage to fight Faora and her bodyguard at the same time in Smallville... Only Zod in the very last part of their fight start to equal him. Kal-El grew on earth and we can imagine that it's more difficult for a baby and a teenager to master his limitless powers. Also, the others kryptonians are enginered, specificaly created and optimized for a function. We can accept that it's easiest for this Kryptonian's war fighters to master their physical skills. It's also explained by Zod himself in the last part of his fight with Superman. Don't you have spotted it ?
4. Why was Zod trying to turn Earth into Krypton? Like I said just before, Zod is the result of an biological enginering. He's "built" to protect the Kryptonian people and civilization. So, he's pushed by his own nature to find the codec and recreate the Kryptonian civilization even if it include to destroy another one. Also well explained by Zod himself when he speak to Kal-El in his "Kryptionian stase".
5. And why the hell were they constantly going back to the Daily Planet staff during the climax? Even if Superman protect the Galaxy, he deeply is a part of Metropolis, so his links with this city are showed in the film through his futur best friends. So where lives Sups in Metropolis and beside who ? The answer is your question... ;)
See ya!
PS: Don't take care on my "bad" english. I'm trying, every days, to improve it and already knows that I have still some progress to do... ^^'
