Watch Jewtopia Online Hitfix UproxxMan of Steel spoilers Movie City News. OkayI often write non spoiler reviews of movies because I think the experience of the film is worth preserving for people who might read my comments. Not this time. But all real spoilers are after the jump. If you want the short strokes, this is a movie with little stability. The effects are huge, but as usual, Zack Snyder wants to do everything in close up and offers little or no context for the visuals. The exception is when a building is about to fall over from the middle an effect you would have seen done better in Transformers 3 and a minor variation on Inception, so congratulations on that one bit of continuity. You also get to see learning to fly by John Carter, babies by The Matrix, speed fighting by first person shooters and the Matrix films, production design of Krypton by Dunes Anthony Masters, and dozens of other stolen images. And well have to talk another time about the penis shaped spacecraft and the sperm y spaceship. The core problem for many audiences, I believe, will not be lack of CG action. You can gag on it. Its the lack of pleasure in the film. There are a dozen comic book based films that have grossed over 2. They starred The Avengers, Batman, Spider Man, Iron Man and the Men in Black. What did these movies have that others did not They were very entertaining. Not just loaded with great effects and stuff that made fanboys happy. They offered movie movie pleasure to a wider audience than the ones who know what that side reference was to Superman 7. I made that up. Is an alien creature seen early in the film a reference to a comic book or TVs Super Friends Dont know. Dont care. I dont want to drone on about the often terrible dialogue or the disregard for any reality re the world of journalism or the torture of fine actors who were given little to do or the laughable coincidences that we cant seem to go 1. That is all bad, but it is, to some degree, the premise with which the film was made. I believe as a rule in giving a film and its filmmakers their premise. What I want to talk about is the ideas or lack thereof behind the film. And to do that, its all spoilers, all the time. So check out now if you dont want to be thinking about what you are watching before you watch it. AHEMI will push this over to an additional page now to make this easier for those of you who dont want to be spoiledMan of Steel is a classic piece of ADHD cinema. Every idea is the most important idea in the world until the filmmaker pushes the next ideaalso the most important in the worldinto your face without bothering to think much about the continuity of the core ideas. And some people are completely fine with that. For me, the most extreme example is the death of Jonathan Kent. This is not the only big disconnect with this character, but lets start here. In the one kind of circumstance in which someone with superhuman strength and near invincibility could survive without people investigating how he survived, a tornado, Both Father Kent and Son Kent decide to save the dogs life and sacrifice the ha ha 4. WHAT THE FUCK Now the scene is well staged. Kevin Costner is quite good in his final moments on Gods green earth. And it is, or at least reads clearly as, sad. Saving the dog is classic movie movie iconography. The death of a parent is life changing. Etc, etc, etc. But this is utter bullshit. Clark Kent didnt need to show superspeed or fly or show any great physical heroics. Had he been pulled into the wind as his father was, his living body could have landed a mile away and plausibly been alive in the shelter of a car or something. But instead, he first follows his fathers instructions to go under the highway overpass with his mom and then just stands there, watching his father die. What does this mean, besides having a dramatic scene in which Pa Kent dies Well, it means a lot. It means that Pa Kent taught his son to be unheroic and to emotionally disconnect.

There is a stunning arrogance and selfishness at the core of this moment that poisons the film and if it were just this one scene, maybe it would overcome, on the basis of blaming youth. But then again, Clark seems to be about high school age when this happens. People from my planetJewtopiasay you become a man when you are 1. But here, at 1. 7 or 1. Clark is still a little boy, so fearful of his fathers paranoid idea of humanity that hewho has the power to change it, and in the design of the scene, has the power for a period BEFORE it would take a superhuman feat to save his parentwatches his own father die while he hides from a storm that cannot hurt him. And how incredibly selfish is it of Pa Kent, who the movie tells us is heroic because he leaps to saving children and the dog, to choose death, which will weigh on his son and his wife for decades to come And this scene taps into the giant overarching problem with Man of Steel. Clark must wait for the right moment to show himself to humans and risk rejection and fear of an alien being in their midst and then, it NEVER happens. Seriously this issue is discussed by PA Kent and Jor El and Perry White and the military group who must also have superhuman powers to be everywhere that anything significant takes place through the entire part of the film in which they exist for a good hour plus.

How would humans react to the knowledge that we are not alone that other civilizations in the universe exist and have greater technology than earth aside from video, which cant be accomplished on Krypton or when broadcasting to the world from a spaceship, even if you have the power to turn off all power except to the TVs oy. What will happen Nothing. Because the movie sidesteps the issue altogether. The question the filmmakers decided would be more interesting, after wasting our time with sophomoric philosophy for over an hour, is, What would happen if a malicious force attacked the planet and there was one guy on the planet that might be able to stop the villain, by surrender or a fightLike everything else in the movie, its all in close up. There is no world outside of the United States unless its a stage for another action sequence or kind of a lazy reference to the South Indian Ocean. The Earth is under attack, but there is the US Militaryrepresented by two actorsand a very specific swath of Kansas and Metropolis.

This may be the moment when many are saying to themselves, Dave its not like you can have 3 million characters. Why are you being so tough on an action movieAnd I say, Blame the film, not the messenger. This is a film that screams at the audience about its moral authority. But really, Man of Steel is like a teenager who knows enough to start a political argument, but not enough to actually have the argument. Before the last 4. ALL CG NOTHING BUT CG, the pretentiousness of this film is epic. But by the end, there is no real discussion at all about what this issue means to the people of Earth, other than being grateful that one alien force was able to stop the one that was actively trying to annihilate them.
