A realistic Portait of a Nietzsche Archetype

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2014)

A realistic portait of a movie requires a great team work, an organized and well written script, and the liberty of the director to work on his vision. Superman it's an almost impossible task to acomplish bringing the reality to the screen. That being said, the fact that a successful director took a clean perception of the needs of the situation and the concern of the public, instead of the box office approach,got him the task done. The perception that there is so much controversy, made the film a success. That makes fans and reviewers watch it more than once if they want to get a better idea of the reasons of why they hated or loved it. The Nolan- Snyder collaboration triumphs within the complains due to a simple fact, good writing. A good script appeals to each part of a story. People need to remember that grounding a god like creature like superman requires more than just special effects, and trough the narrative and the deep compromise of the story telling of it's actors, the movie told the story by different angles. What it's more important to remember it's that this superman was taken to a different era, the twenty first century that it's a complete different Millennium in comparison with the movies from the last century, even the last decade movies. We require a superman that needs to be real in every aspect,and an actor that can carry that legacy. The superman suit is more like an armour, that's heavy and extremely complicated to move in, and Henry Cavill made an amazing fit in that armour. Good story telling it's hard to find, specially in Hollywood, when reboot and remake are trademarks that come and go every year, and good script writers are so few. In a world when every movie it 's trying to portrait the realistic focus of the real life of the people, a real hero needs to be characterized with the maximum care of his origins and close to life conflicts. To make a godlike creature get grounded in a mortal world, the director made an amazing job utilizing the best technology, the most innovative tools and great post production editing. Let's remember that superman it's not a real being, it's an aspiration so culturalized that had brought the world to the fascination with this sci fi persona, even making it an archetype of the new era. Snyder gave the world the most real man of steel that this era could have being given.
