The most interesting Screenshots for the “Superman Returns” movie:          | ||
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s the best action film/love story of the summer! “Superman Returns,” superbly directed by Bryan Singer and co-written by Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris, is the soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world’s most beloved super heroes. What makes it truly stand out is the wonderfully intimate, yet epic tale it tells, set against a backdrop of vast scope and scale, using the latest, most groundbreaking camera and visual effects technology. The story is at once contemporary, emotional, action-packed, and romantic. Despite all the cultural, industrial and technological changes that have occurred since Superman made his comic book debut in 1938, then went on to be featured in a newspaper strip which ran for more than three decades, one thing remains constant – his inherent desire to use his special abilities to lead by example and to do good for the world. His selfless heroics are still inspiring even today.
The story begins five years after Superman (played by talented newcomer Brandon Routh) mysteriously disappears from Earth. During his absence, he travels to the far reaches of space in search of his past, looking for traces of his family or others like himself. What he finds, instead, is a radioactive ruin where his home planet of Krypton once stood. Superman’s long search for his place in the universe ends back at the Kent farm, among the only family he has ever known. This place, among the flawed but ultimately good people of Earth, is his true home. He now realizes that his destiny lies in the city of Metropolis where he resumes his cover of Clark Kent, Daily Planet reporter.
Screenwriters Dougherty and Harris have actually written three versions of the character: Clark Kent being himself on his farm in Kansas, Clark Kent undercover at the Daily Planet, and Superman. In the process, they have delivered a compelling and complex character who is a super hero with special powers, but someone who also possesses the emotional qualities of a man. He has both a great heart and an understanding of human nature, and he attributes his moral character and his feelings to his adoptive mother, Martha. He also has a heritage to uphold as Kal-El, son of Jor-El, sent by his father to help the people of Earth. The writers set up a series of obstacles and emotional challenges that Superman must deal with and which cause him to do a lot of soul searching, both in terms of his mission on earth and his personal life. The script humanizes the alien super hero by showing how he is filled with self doubt, longs to find meaning in his existence, and yearns for the love of Lois Lane.
Superman discovers that while he was gone the planet has moved on without him. Ironically, he’s perceived as no longer relevant in a world where crises have gone unheeded, crime has risen, and his arch enemy, Lex Luther (Kevin Spacey playing ironic megalomania for all it’s worth), has been sprung from prison and plans to use Superman’s technological secrets for his own personal gain and glory. Star reporter Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) has also moved on with her life after Superman left her without an explanation. She’s now engaged to her editor’s nephew, Richard White (James Marsden) and has a young son, Jason (Tristan Leabu). Superman is devastated when he discovers Lois authored the Daily Planet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial, “Why the World Doesn’t Need Superman” in which she argues that people need to help themselves, not rely on a super hero. Clearly, she feels abandoned by him and wrote the article to vent her anger, fear, and pain because someone she loved left her. She doesn’t feel she needs to be saved, and she is conflicted about the return of the man whom she has tried hard to forget. Yet one look in her eyes tells Superman that she’s clearly in denial and has never really gotten over him.
Director Singer proves once again he is a terrific filmmaker who knows how to tell a riveting story with passion and enthusiasm. The film reflects both his emotional affinity for the character and a clear, precise vision of where he wants to take the super hero in this latest installment of the franchise. Singer sets out to honor the past. Richard Donner’s 1978 “Superman: The Movie” serves as a visual and emotional anchor for Singer’s “Superman Returns.” Singer even uses snippets of Marlon Brando’s performance as Jor-El, who speaks to his son posthumously in several scenes, to continue the story and underscore a captivating subtext about the importance of family relationships and the passing on of wisdom from one generation to the next. Singer takes advantage of the amazing technology available today to stage the action. He boldly realizes the full potential of Superman’s character and its winning combination of virtue, super-strength, indestructibility, and ability to see through anything and to fly.
One of the film’s most engaging action sequences involves a breathtaking plane rescue involving hundreds of tons of burning metal careening through space that nearly crashes in a baseball stadium. After Superman maneuvers the plane back to Earth for a soft belly landing, he steps inside to make sure everyone is OK and comes face to face with Lois for the first time in five years, offering the audience a powerful moment that reestablishes the unspoken connection between the two characters. Another compelling moment is Superman’s chilling encounter with Lex Luther and a stiletto of kryptonite that renders him powerless, falling silently, helplessly through space. Not to mention Superman’s night time romantic flight with Lois Lane in his arms in the skies above Metropolis. These scenes, along with many others, reflect Singer’s extraordinary ability to combine action and effect to maximum potential while retaining the emotional intimacy and impact of the story.
Singer has made excellent casting choices. His actors deliver subtle, detailed performances that support his vision. Newcomer Routh proves to be a gifted actor who knows how to reach deeply into his own character to play the role his way, embodying convincingly both Clark Kent and Superman. He delivers an honest, compelling, and genuinely heartfelt portrayal that takes full advantage of his uncanny physical resemblance to Superman, his mid-western roots, and a strong physical presence that he combines adeptly with a shy, awkward, but engaging vulnerability. It’s fun to watch the amazing transformation he undergoes as he changes from the bumbling, nerdy Clark Kent to the powerful Man of Steel. Bosworth’s Lois Lane is intelligent, strong willed, driven, and independent. She cleverly juxtaposes these prominent traits with an underlying fragility and sweet sincerity that makes her character appealing. It’s nice to see how Bosworth strips the layers off Lois as the story unfolds. Spacey brings just the right blend of humor and cynicism to his performance as Superman’s diabolically brilliant nemesis. The supporting cast includes Eva Marie Saint as Martha “Ma” Kent; Frank Langella as editor Perry White; Parker Posey as Lex Luther’s moll, Kitty Kowalski; Kal Penn as Stanford; and Sam Huntington as rookie photographer Jimmy Olsen.
Production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas mixes eras effortlessly to give the film a timeless feel, and he uses this approach with all the design elements. Rather than reinventing the Superman world, Dyas updates it. The filmmakers successfully merged some of the iconic John Barry designs from the 1978 Donner film with the look of a 1940s romance, whether through the color palette or the visual compositions or the Art Deco facades and gleaming skyscrapers of Metropolis. The same blending of classic and cutting edge goes into the film’s costume design by Louise Mingenbach who excels at superhero wardrobe and has worked with Singer before on the X-Men movies. Superman’s costume reflects not only the iconic image that has endured in our culture over the years, but it also brings a contemporary edge to the character. The film’s rousing score is by John Ottman who also serves as co-editor along with Elliot Graham on the film.
Cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel used wide lenses and large framing to convey the enormous size and scope of the film. “Superman Returns” is the first feature length motion picture to be shot entirely with a Genesis digital camera system, jointly invented by Sony and Panavision, which emulates the curve and color space of film. The filmmakers paid meticulous attention to detail to the physical shooting of Routh as well as the computer rendering, scanning and animation of the character in order to capture the reality of a man who can fly at will. The end result is an extraordinarily gorgeous looking film filled with breathtaking imagery that makes you believe a man truly can fly.
Whether you’re 7 or 70, “Superman Returns” is thrilling entertainment. It’s fun watching the Man of Steel save planet Earth and rekindle his romance with Lois Lane. For super hero spectaculars, this film is right up there with “Spider-Man II” and “Batman Begins.” Together Singer and Routh have reinvented Superman for a new generation. Don’t miss the exhilarating action and romantic spectacle.
