I just don't get the hate for MOS..? I thought it really dove into who Clark is and what makes him superman.
We got a more in-depth look at almost every aspect of his world. Instead of 3 minutes on some abstract Krypton we get 20 minutes and a relationship between Zod and Jor-el. We also know why zod shows up so pissed, instead of just "hey yallz, I'm here, pissed and you should kneel before me.
We see Clark saving countless people under falsified names during his journey to find his origin. We see him making the bigger decisions to control his anger, like with the ass at the bar.
We got a great performance from both of Clark's parents and their struggle to protect a boy who could go bad at any moment and kill everyone on the planet.
We even get a nice nod to Supermans original powers when his leaping big heights before learning to fly.
We got a Superman that bled and got knocked out several times. They established that he's not the boring indestructible character most people say he is and they did it without kryptonite.
And he saves the world knowing the WE could weaken him or kill him so he was obviously ready to sacrifice himself for the world.
And finally, he was a superman that had to make a tough, real life decision to kill someone so that a group of innocents could live. I think it was the Superman film fans have been begging for, some just don't know it yet...
Well stated!! I fully agree with your synopsis. It had everything we wanted to see and more. The size and scale of this film was epic. Synder took Superman's rich comic career and fashioned a unique cinematic vision of a man coming of age and recognizing his place in the world...ultimately becoming a hero and symbol for hope.
