The expectations are high. This “superman” should not only be successful as a film of this summer. Hopes for a new franchise are even more based on it: a whole of the franchise universe.
After the Marvel Cinematic University seems to have the best times, and the competitive project “DC Extended Universe) with Henry Cavill in the role of“ Steel Man ”, and Ben Affleman as Batman is considered unsuccessful,“ Superman ”should lay the foundation for a new, rather basic world of cinema (now simply called “DCU”). In the recipe, the corresponding superheroes will be saving the world and adventures in changing the constellations that will attract masses in cinemas on continents and years. So, the plan.
If anyone has a body for such a expectation, then probably Superman. In this context, it is immediately noticeable that not only the name, which is surprisingly makes without adding, such as the “new beginning” or even “dawn”, makes a subtle announcement, but this actor David Korenslet is also a little less “excited”, as they say, tighten the muscles, as is the usual thing for heroes.
The fact that in our time, when the men of the “manosfer” are faced with “splendor” in their fitness rooms is already equivalent to a political statement. It also affects the main dilemma of the film. In fact, this inaccurate Superman wants to note a return to old old times, in this earlier, when Super Films, as they say, were “just funny” and were not so accused of the importance or sales strategies. But the spirit, an annoying creature, is bad, where you really do not want it.
“Superman”. Director James Gann. With David Roaren, Rachel Raskhan and a. USA 2025, 126 min.
In other cases, the turmoil could even like that James Gann called him in jogging to the premiere with his remark that Superman was the “history of America … the history of the immigrant.” Gann must be responsible for the new DCU as a producer and himself took on the direction of Superman. At the premiere, he saw himself with the appropriate statements that Superman was now a “super -beard” literally insisted on defense. It was a film for everyone, he defended his project, and Ko-STAR NATHAN FILON, which is in a hurry to help in the film as a “green lantern” Superman, tried to calm down: “This is just a film.”
Super Dog Crypto helps the hero
For “just a film”, James Gann would be a definite candidate. In the end, he is a man who was able to continue the “funny” wakefulness in the Marvel universe with “Guardians of the Galaxy”. His “Claim to Glory” is to help such a wooden actor as Chris Pratt with the role of Nerdy “Starlord”, to go to the status of a superstar. Not to mention the fact that the talent of not a low -profile stage, which includes the creation of an absolute public favorite from a real wooden stick or a trunk of trees with one dialogue – “I am a thunderstorm”, originally converted to Vin diesel.
But today there is nothing more “just a movie”. At first he tries “Superman”: everything seems tense, adjusted, reduced to essential items. Instead of a well -known story from an alien child who grows in Smolville, Kansas, in good -natured foster parents Jonathan and Marta Kent, the film represents its facts in short fonts at the beginning. The explanations of what happened from 300, 30 years ago and 3 years ago, finally followed an unusual sign that Superman suffered his first defeat 3 minutes ago.
Then he lies, a beaten hero who is actually physically wounded, and inherits his crypto “Super Dog”. This tail, perfectly equipped with a red cloak.
Almost fast Romk
The new Superman World is an old one in many respects: in his Arctic “fortress of loneliness” Superman can be restored by friendly robots before he finally returned to the metropolis to the Daily Planet rooms, which are still completely designed in the “His girl on Friday”, only that the type is not enough.
There, “Superman” turns into Romcom, when the sports editor Steve Lombard (Bek Bennett) Clark Kent for his insensitive letter and Clark with his colleague Lois (Rachel Bosanhan) in such a way as to promise the detailed “Will-Neni-Neni-Oni”. But then these two are already in their hands in the next scene in the Lois apartment, and it becomes clear that Lois has long been in the picture of the secret personality of Clark.
So nothing becomes a dream of a “superman” as a Romcom. Nevertheless, the scenes of relations with Clark and Lois are one of the main points of this film, if only because two actors will deliver reliably that their characters feel attracted to each other – and this is sometimes not so painful, with a sexual attraction to the cinema.
Although it quickly becomes clear that Lois, of course, is the best journalist and a kind, saturated Clark, cannot quite intellectually give his water, they radiate abundance and abundance, when they are together, which was not in the genre of the superhero.
Village and spirit of the spirit
But then, unfortunately, the actual plot enters the game, and with him the villain and the spirit of the spirit. Of course, Lex Luthor (bald head Nicholas Hult) is currently a technical billionaire who has unlimited resources, but still want more. Anyone who not only leads his own “pocket universe” as a penal colony for enemies and former girls, but also fuel various wars and affects the media, a complete program. However, what drives him does not seem to be a dream of world domination, as it should be for genre evil, but envy of Superman.
We would like to show you external content here. You decide whether you want to see this element:
The poor populations of Boravia and Yorharpur, two fantasy countries, in whose wars Superman and Luther, unfortunately, do not know anything. In Boravia, there is an autocrat named Vasil Gurkos, embodied by Zlatko Burich (“Triangle of sadness”), which currently dominates the role of an unpleasant eastern European oligarch. You will not learn anything about the form of the GiRHarpur government. It is represented mainly by a little boy who opens against the invasion of Boravia in his country and calls Superman.
Because this remains the real power of Superman: the salvation of man. Again and again, the Gann of the stages, like Superman in the chaos of destroying bridges, falling cars and consulting monsters, the only girl who saves a woman, and even the only squirrel.
Global conflicts – they are not a Superman business, it seems that the film seems to suggest. In any case, it always works best when everything is a little stupid. For a short trip to the true seriousness, in which Superman protects his “humanity”, despite the foreign origin, you are still grateful.
