Alienated Audience
The latest iteration of the Superman series is largely like a very bland meal. It’s easy enough to get though but doesn’t really offer any sort of interesting experience.
The most evocative scene that this film offers up is when Superman - played absolutely unconvincingly by Brandon Routh - was exposed to his only vice; kryptonite. Our beloved superhero is lying helpless under a torrent of kicks, consumed by a menacingly dark set piece [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], surrounded by sharp rocks and pelted with battering rain. Yet in this moment, the audience feels no pity for Superman. The build up to this penultimate moment just saw his lacklustre character stroll through the movie with no real passion or emotional attachment to anything or anyone. So congratulations to Singer and Routh [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for managing to make the first superhero movie where the audience wished the protagonist would die - just so something original might happen in this cliché ridden snooze fest.
Superman Returns, released in 2006 and directed by Bryan Singer, fails to offer any likeable characters in its whole two and half hour running time. Characters scrap through poorly conceived scenes and lacklustre events unconvincingly. Never throughout the entire movie was there a truly moving scene from the man of steel. Quite a remarkable failure for the world’s strongest man.
It is very evident throughout the whole movie that Bryan Singer is definitely an action director, great with close up action shots and large scale destruction but completely inept in creating interesting characters and portraying a storyline. The only actor to actually make an impact is Kevin Spacey filling the combat boots and suits of Lex Luthor. As a character all we know about Luthor is that Superman put him in prison 5 years ago and now wants revenge as well as create a new island off the coast of Metropolis with the crystal he stole from Superman's secret lair.
This movie just seems like a series of forgettable actors playing bad scenes riddled with meaningless events. The movie is based upon the return of Superman after being gone for 5 years, trying to find remains of his destroyed planet Krypton. The origin story of Superman is largely left alone and the audience is expected to know what is going on. A tall order since the last movie to deal with the emergence of Superman was in 1978.
This did not have to happen. One of the more interesting subplots is that Superman has a son with Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth), who is now married to another faceless and forgettable character. Superman only finds out about the child at the end of the movie. The big clue to this revelation was when the tormented child in question threw a piano at a thug attacking his mother. Though this might have been an interesting side story that could be an arc to a next movie, though the child is given just one moment of glory in the film. Instead, it sets up the horrible and cringe worthy monologue from Routh who slurs through lines about being an outcast but never being alone because the child's life will play through his and vice versa. The boy will become Superman one day .
In the end this is mostly a cold experience with no chance to develop any emotional attachment to characters and where the historic superhero is just a catalyst for big budget action. He is much more alien than human in his portrayal and really should have stayed in spac
