Superman

I don't think i've ever enjoyed a superman movie as much as I did with this movie. I tend to find the portrayal of the previous superman as a naive guy who was bluntly kind and didn't give much thought before acting. This superman however was so multifaceted and while he was incredibly kind and emotional- it didn't feel like he was a dumb overly empathetic alien with a hero complex. I enjoyed the argument between Clark and Lois so well and I think that particular argument really gave depth to his complex 'human' traits. We can circle back to the nature vs nurture debate even.  On a deeper level, I think this movie really made me ponder about the boundaries of storytelling and the heights they can reach. My personal interpretation is that this movie was a message made palatable to the general public. It mirrors the horrifying reality albeit toned down and sends a message. Superman being the only character in the movie with compassion for the oppressed nation parallels the present day- his treatment for doing so too. When the credits roll and you walk out of the cinema or even while you watch the scene, the realisation that it really must take meta humans and a superman to take down evil that is supplied not with alien-level tech-but merely man made nuclear weapons.  So this movie is arguably the most structured superhero movie i've seen in the past few years. It still encompassed the superhero tropes and humour dear for over decades but with a little bit of spice.
