A_C_E said: Man of Steel. What terrible pacing and horrible ( as in zero) character development this movie had, and the trailer was one of the best trailers I have seen. The disappointment that I endured throughout the movie right from the get-go was unmatched. Unfortunately the Batman v Superman trailer was also pretty good, so the disappointment will only continue................. |
While I love Man of Steel while agreeing with you that the character developme.nt was kind of non existant (only few media forms actually gave Superman more than the Golden Boy personality, and this film kind of turned him into Jesus), I think the more glaring issue is that DC made the movie dark and gritty, like batman, probably out of neccesity to differentiate itself from the early Superman movies and Marvel.
The result was that we had to skip right into Superman adulthood, but early enough that he doesn't know what he was doing, the point in his life that would have the least character development. He hasn't met other more experienced hereos yet, and he hasn't even really had time to be well known.
The other part where he would develop his childhood to adolesence, but that was rushed and told anachronistically, so you can't see him develop there as well.
The effect of origin story mixed with anachronistic character development leads to disjointed and unapparent development whatsover.
But its also the best DBZ movie ever made ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
An origin story can be told anachronistically, but it has to be laser focused, really only covering one event. Going from Childhood to Superman was way to broad and only captured snippets of what together would have been good development.
Also shakey cam
