This article contains spoilers for the end of Superman.

The Jameseshei Gunn's "Superman" is a fun driving with a great actor, but it is also filled to the edge to the point that you have a moment to take your breath away. Early scene where Lois Lane (Rachel Brososhan) Interviews Clark Kent (David Corenvet) as a Superman provides a nice break after the intro-stacked introduction, suggesting that a similar EBB and flow will continue over the rest of the film. Instead, we barely get another slow moment from that point, because the film is frantically cut from a frantic piece to the next until the loans roll.

While the film could have benefited for some time in building a suitable character for Clark (or indeed, every one), the comic-y action is so colorful and fun, and the energy of the film is so fresh that you probably won't mind too much for wild. That is, until you reach the culmination of the film, where things stagnate. Locked in a struggle with Ultraman, who revealed that it is an imperfect clone of himself, created by Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hult), Kud-EL enters the long sip that carries through Metropolis, as it is destroyed by interdimensional growth.

While all that sounds Cool, and there are times highlights all over the world, the culmination struggle faces the same problem that torments the end of Zack Snyder's "steel man" - when you have Superman to fight someone with his same forces, the result is simply not so interesting. In both films, the great battle at the end is two -year -old balls that are broken in each other in a maid. It is exciting in the concept, but it gets older.

Superman has a orderly selection of asymmetrical struggles, and the film gives him many of them in 2025. His duel with Kayyu in the middle of Metropolis, for example, is really fun because he is struggling to reduce the damage and victims, while also delivering heavy blows to the creature. Or, it can be fun to see that he will take a huge group of enemies, as he does at the very end of the film when Luter sends him to his raptor. Both fights show the full range of Superman forces and have a lot of dynamism. But when the battle is symmetrical - when he just fights with another person who can fly, hit hard and shoot lasers from his eyes - the moves are stale quickly.

It was a problem in the "steel man" and that is a problem in the "Superman" of Jamesesheims Gunn. It also probably does not help that the fight against ultraman occurs immediately after a much more interesting two-to-one where Clark is fighting with the ultramoran and engineer (Maria Gabriela de Shara) in a baseball field. The inclusion of that long exchange immediately in another long one-on-one just makes the end to pull slightly.

It is astonishing that the most creative and unforgettable combat scene in the whole film does not include Superman at all, but shows Mr. Stratting instead of taking a whole line of Lex's military commandos. More unique forces often lead to more inventive scenes with action, and this is a great example.

I want to emphasize again that I really liked Superman. It's fun, it's glittering and gets the tone properly. But by the end, I also struggled to cut what the movie actually was for. There is so little time spent in developing the character or building any broader ideas. Given how long the climax lasts, it is difficult not to think that some of the time of duration could have been better at slower moments spiced through the whole movie.

When he returned to see his parents in Kansas and recover from injuries near the end of the second act, Clark has a line that was supposed to be the basis for his image in the film: "I am not the one I thought I was." The betrayal that his parents on cryptonia actually sent to the ground to conquer him, leaves to hire, to doubt his own nature. It's a great place to build a strong character, but it's the only line in the whole movie where he actually handles the idea.

Similarly, Luter is a great villain, but accepting the camp tone of Superman's older comics also means that his motivations are pretty cartoons. With so little time spent on the hero or the villain, the film feels more like working on the rails, as the driving that will inevitably build on six flags. As a setup for what was supposed to be a widespread kinematic universe, Superman does the job only okay, but I can't help, but I wish there was more bone meat and less time spent reducing actions to one another.
