Man of Steel vs This Film ------ A Noticeable Contrast
When comparing this film to Man of Steel, the difference is quite stark. While Man of Steel offered a more cohesive narrative with strong character development and a clear understanding of who Superman is, this movie felt less grounded in those areas. There were noticeable plot inconsistencies, and the character of Superman wasnโt given enough depth or backstory to establish a clear sense of his identity or motivations.
Tonally, the film aimed for a lighter, more family-friendly approach, possibly targeting a younger audience (PG-8 and above). However, it also incorporated darker elements, which made the overall tone feel inconsistent. Unlike Man of Steel, which maintained a consistent mood that supported its storyline, this film seemed to juggle multiple themes without fully developing them, resulting in a somewhat muddled narrative.
In the end, the film left me feeling more confused than captivated. While it may visually appeal to some, particularly with the casting of a younger, more conventionally attractive Superman, the substance of the story didnโt quite live up to its potential.
