Ill tell you what the new movie doesn't have and it's this energy and soundtrack



:wow:

they remade John Williams with SOME of Zimmer's guitar work.

The first thing I noticed about this theme is it seems to take inspiration from both John Williams and Hans Zimmer. Obviously, the iconic theme from Williams is present, but it's composed in a style that is very reminiscent to Zimmer's for Man of Steel. The electric guitar, the heavy percussion - it's incredibly powerful and bombastic.

I respect your opinion man but this "Zach Synderesque" view of Superman is why it keeps failing at the box office.
Almost every comic author does the opposite: Man first, God second. And for good reason. Exploring the repercussions of him actually being a god can be interesting but would completely change the tone of the movie. That tone's been done successfully: check Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen, Superman in All Star Superman and Injustice, etc. It can work but you can't go halfway, or nothing makes sense. His boy scout nature and restraint is the only thing keeping him from just killing everyone like Homelander. Why would a god even walk? He'd just float everywhere. Again, if he's a god first, you gotta go all the way.

And his usual restraint makes it even doper when he finally decided to let lose, but that needs to be earned over several movies and he needs to be desperate.
This makes me think about a reddit post I saw recently

That post is junk. The movie is told out of order.

He’s not saving people because it’s right. He’s hiding cause he doesn’t know who he is.His father’s death didn’t clarify who he was, it sent him deeper into despair.

The movie muddles its own message.

Why does he go to a priest for advice? Who is this vs Pete or any of the other people he has saved. As has been said multiple times in this thread, the people who should be helping him decide(his parents) confuse him.

Jor-el says he wants Clark to have a choice but then hands him and suit and a mission.
