Sorry guys for a zero-week blog last week. Been Busy for a couple of days ditching some bad elements trying to penetrate my happy days :D
And
yeah, speaking of happy days, the movie Man of Steel opened a week ago here in Doha, but, afraid of the crowd who are
expecting this movie since last year, we didn’t go to a movie house for a
ticket. We just did yesterday, one week after the opening date in the Middle
East.
Maybe
some (or most) of you already watched Man of Steel, but my stand for a “Spoiler-Free”
Review will still be the same. I guess simple opinion will do. So let’s begin.
I’m
not
a big fan of Superman, or Clark Kent - Lois Lane whirlwind romance,
even the Smallville
TV Series which lasted for 13 seasons (I guess). But watching this kind
of film
on a wide screen is an achievement. Why? Well, Supehero films nowadays
give a shockwave
to its audience, using an advance technology for the visual effects,
making the
“unreel” looks “real”, leaving the market with the words "That was sooo
cool!" Sometimes, even the performance of the main character is
not that good, it can be ignored due to presence of futuristic effects
and high
end screenplay techniques. Imagine Kansas, USA with severe
infrastructure damages? SAbi nga ni Kuya Toots (a former colleague and
husband of a very good friend) "Tara na sa USA mag apply tayo, madaming
trabaho". :D
And
that
is what happened in this movie. Thanks to Ruselle Crowe, Lawrence
Fishbourne and Kevin Costner and Diane Lane, all names are in the list
of
Academy Awards, Amy Adams who captured our hearts in the movie
“Enchanted”, and
Michael Shannon who happened to be an Academy Awards Nominee as well.
How about
Henry Cavill? He’s good, right? But maybe not as good as Brandon Routh
when he
played the same character couple of years ago. An all star (supporting)
cast but I never
felt the presence of Superman except when he flies all throughout the
movie. He
looks good, of course and there’s no doubt about it. But looking good
should
also have a convincing power that you are the real Man of Steel. Me? And
the way he killed Gerenal Zod? I wasn’t convinced. I didn't see the
super powers in him. Even an ordinary human being can do such killing
thing. Him being the Superman is good, Him being just the “man” is a
lot better.
The movie is exciting though. Imax Theater in a
3D format? Wow. we just hope that this will not be a box office disappointment.
Personal
Rating: 6.50 / 10.00
Spoiler as it may seems, but its not worth the suspense of not knowing the end part.
ReplyDelete1. The way he died - really? he died that way? They kept on banging with these skyscraper walls as if they dont mind them, so hindi ko tlga naicip that there is a possibility na magkkaroon sya ng neck injury. There must have been something special with that SUPER twist move by SUPERman para ma-tegi yaki udon si general hehehhe unless napagod na lang magicip si direk ng spectacular way to end him kaya sabi na lng nya "keribels na yan!! go!!" hahaha - RED
2. RIGHT TIMING IS THE KEY
ReplyDeleteon my opinion, di ko talaga naramdaman yung chemistry or should I say "kilig" factor sa knila dalawa, feeling ko lang hindi enough yung some clips they showed para majustify na may special relation between the two of them. "agad agad?! special someone na agad?!" or maybe nasanay lang ako sa usual romance between ms lane and mr. clark, and coming from christopher nolan I should not be expecting a twilight-romance type of superman approach. -
ahaha we're on the same boat Red, It was like watching a movie that is full of violence, fighting each other outside the universe, then suddenly, biglang "huh? un na un?!" like the term, "keribels" haha thanks red, for reading my blog. =)
