The man form Krypton has arrived again to the silver screen at theaters around the world. This time his arrival has been quite anticipated by Hollywood marketing campaigns though, in my opinion, it has been an arrival with no glory. There are very few things to look at in this new Superman movie. It starts with a strange scene in the crop fields of a zone that resembles the American Midwest. Something in flames falls from the sky and starts a fire in the fields of the Kent’s farm, later we learn it’s some kind of space ship that captures the attention and anticipation of the only dweller at the farm, Clark’s mother. But time is running too fast in this Superman version, we expect to see a child coming from the ship. But no, our hero is arriving from somewhere, we later learn he is arriving from visiting the remainings of Krypton, for a second time and now he is not a child but a full grown Superman that somehow decided to leave. Then we are faced with flashbacks and scenes of the earlier Superman. But everything seems to have a forced order and the movie starts running on a narrow road that continuously menaces to makes us fall asleep. Clark goes back to Metropolis and reintegrates to The Planet after his “leave”. There we meet the new Lisa Lane; too far away from that Lisa we remembered from the 80’s. No charms, maybe some beauty but no personality. Suddenly we meet the new Superman in all his might while he is struggling to save a burning plane with Lisa onboard. Nothing too exciting, maybe the music is the best part but we finally meet a Superman that seems to be made of plastic, with no personality, a bit of charm maybe. Then he faces Luthor, the best character of this movie, but this meeting inevitable converts into a poor battle between poor characters. Drama barely comes up from time to time, making of the huge special effects a waste of talent. After this new superman I’m quite sure my generation, those who were fortunate enough to watch the movies of the 80’s, must be longing for Christopher Reeves, the one and only Superman at the movies.
