First watch Tom Holland’s bold new Spider-Man in a brand new day – fans are losing it: Coastal House Media

In January 2023, James Gunn announced that he had a duty to improve DC’s expansion universe and to create stories that would connect with people who are more personalized, just as Kevin Feige did with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not only did Feige make a sensation in the MCU, he also made sure people were related to the story and the characters. So when Gunn announced that DC Universe would be like a full restart of the franchise, many people were skeptical of the step. Gunn has always been an integral part of the MCU and wants to lead by example. As a result, he decided to execute the next one Superman Take it yourself and make it clear that this will be similar to the origin story.

But does this iconic character need another origin story? Read the new one SupermanI can say “yes” with certainty, definitely need one.

What is “Superman”?

‘Superman’ It’s a character that has been portrayed on screen for a long time. From Christopher Reeve in legendary costume, he took an epic flight to Henry Cavill in 1978 ‘man of Steel,’ Viewers have seen many different descriptions of the characters in the comics. This is why character portraying on screen is very difficult. However, starting from the first frame, Gunn made it clear that this wasn’t the superman of your grandparents’ era. But, over the past two decades, this has also become too familiar to me, in the superhero space. Instead, all the filmmakers do is he tear the pages from the comic book and bring them to life by making the characters more vivid and serious. Interestingly, it all works best and what the audience sees on the screen is spectacular.

The movie begins with a sequence where we often see Superman stories. Joe-El and Lara Lor-van send their son Kal-el to Earth to escape the destruction of their kryptron. Baby Kal-El crashed on Earth and was raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent of Smallville, Kansas. As time goes by, Jonathan and Martha learn about the power of Kal-El. Kal-El David Corenswet). As Clark Kent, he worked in the Daily Planet newspaper and established a friendship with Louis Lane (by Rachel Brosnahan). But, a man named Lex Luthor (by Nicholas Hoult) believes that Superman cannot be trusted, and with this power, he can destroy humans. What happened next was a story about how Iron Man tried to deal with the threat while maintaining his secret identity.

Gunn leaves his comfort zone – Good at it

Those familiar with Gunn’s style of filmmaking know that the filmmaker’s voice is unique. But with Superman, He moved in a new direction, with a larger theme and a more classical tone. It’s obvious that he’s working his comfort zone here, but his discomfort makes him grow into a director. result? He has some of the most guaranteed guidance. The best aspect of the movie is how Gunn balances the wonders with the substance. There are no shortage of shocking suits, including an outstanding long-term sequence, where Superman defeats the villain and his army in one hand. But these huge kits never feel like they are not part of the narrative. They serve the character and the story. We all know that Superman’s power is so unique and breathtaking, but the film doesn’t shy away from showing his inner self as his greatest power.

What is it Superman This attractive watch is its multi-layered script that includes timely political undercurrents. Immigration, power, alienation themes and how the media manipulates everything are beautifully planted into the storyline, but never overwhelms the theme. The filmmaker never preached; he just asked the audience to see what was going on in the world around us and how powerful people like Superman navigate it. So, this movie is smart. Yes, there is world building, but this is not done by a promise ending or derived from cliffs. Instead, it is done organically by supporting the character.

Reimagined hero… without losing heart

David Corenswet’s portrayal of Superman/Clark Kent is grand. Nowadays, his performance has a very rare sincerity. He is funny, charming, and sometimes he is painful human. Although I never said this, he seemed to be born to play this role. Meanwhile, Rachel Brosnahan is miraculous as Lois Lane. Her version of Lois is clever, suspiciously and ruthlessly determined, recovering the character’s energy from the comics. Her vibrant with Clark is electric and respectful, which makes the film a worthwhile experience. Nicholas Hoult plays Lex Luthor, the kind of villain audience that needs to be watched in superhero movies. Whenever he reaches the screen, it’s about him, and Hoult never loses his grip. But, we have a scene stealer here, it is not a human, it is a dog. Yes, I’m talking about Krypto, that’s a character that will make you fall in love with the movie right away.

Supporting actors – Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion and Isabela Merced – are just as outstanding. It will be fun to see how Gunn handles these characters and push their story forward.

Maybe SupermanThe biggest win is that it takes back what has long been missing from modern superhero movies: miracles. How this movie embraces its own world, it’s a childlike awe. all in all By rooting him in tough realism, but heartfelt sincerity, brings a new life to the iconic superhero. This is not Superman Audiences have seen it in previous films, but it captures the true nature of the character with sincerity. This is not only a reminder of why Superman is important. It shows us how he will still feel fresh, exciting and emotionally resonant in the age of cynicism. The glorious beginning of the DC universe.
