Opening weekend is over, the reviews have been written, and the results are in. While钢铁之躯did amazing at the box office, the majority of critics feel that the film was a failure. As of today (June 18, 2013),烂番茄报道说,只有56%的批评家有话要说,但有82%的观众喜欢这部电影。如果有很多人喜欢这部电影,那么为什么有这么多不良评论?亚搏电子电竞官网
I decided to spend a lot of time this weekend reading review after review in an attempt to discover what I may be missing. I began to wonder if my love of comic books (and anything with Chris Nolan’s name on it…haha) had dictated myreviewof the film, but after reading more reviews and even some user comments (yes we read them), I began to notice some common similarities among the bad reviews that needed to be addressed.
1. The hatred of Zack Snyder
在许多评论中,我注意到的第一件事是关于扎克·斯奈德(Zack Snyder亚搏电子电竞官网)担任董事的偏见。尽管许多批评家都有符合他对他的看法,但实际上有些人直言不讳地公开承认他们的偏见。诸如“哦,超人,你做了什么应得的Zack Snyder”之类的行情西北先驱“电影在抵达时并没有死,就像Snyder的过度守望者一样。但这是免费的。”来自David Edelstein的The New York Heraldshow the apparent preemptive bias from critics such as these. Zack Snyder does have a certain style that can be very generic and can sometimes be responsible for some horrible films (垂死挣扎),但是那个家伙不是Uwe Boll。除了导演外,还有许多其他人构成了电影的成功,并且只要对一名成员参加电影就做出了判断,这是不公平的。由于Snyder依附在电影上,这部电影从来没有机会与这些评论家有机会。
2. The comparison to Richard Donner’s films/Christopher Reeve
理查德。唐纳重新定义超人与他的电影(not his 3rd and 4th) and his casting of Christopher Reeve put a face to the character. Even though he seemed to have set a standard, his films are still adaptations of the original inception of Superman. Many people seem to forget about Superman before Donner’s version and use his films and Christopher Reeve’s portrayal as comparison even though it is not the original.超人返回attempted to emulate Donner’s concept and while it surprisingly was well received by critics, it carried a poor public perception and less than expected box office numbers. Many reviews negatively criticize钢铁之躯与唐纳电影相比,以一种批评原始电影的任何冒险的方式。钢铁之躯, just like Donner’sSuperman,是一种原始的改编,应将其视为。
3. The action is too large
Another common complaint among critics is in reference to the size and amount of action in the film. The problem most have is that it is too massive and there is too much CGI. There have been comparisons to Michael Bay’s变压器in regards to the “special fx extravaganza” and many think the abundance of this type of action is just lazy. My question is how else can Superman be represented without massive action? How can he “be faster than a speeding bullet” and be able to “leap tall buildings in a single bound” and that not be shown on screen? Superman is at the pinnacle of superhero power levels, he’s the big guns. His villains are equally as massive so when they collide, they’re going to make a bang. Sure the CGI could have been toned down some if the battles took place only in Smallville where nothing is around, but if an epic battle to save the world is taking place in a huge city, there’s no way to capture the amount of destruction without some digital enhancement. CGI for Batman type battles would be excessive but for Superman, it’s a necessity to the film.
I admit that I am guilty of letting my own bias towards things sway my opinions at times, but there was so much apparent bias in the majority of reviews for this film that something had to be said. I didn’t write this out of anger due to disagreement, I wrote this because I think the hesitant moviegoers need to know what is being pointed out as flaws in钢铁之躯and still know that they can enjoy the film. If anyone disagrees with me, that’s fine, but IN MY OPINION I think the elements that some critics focused on were not aspects of the film but instead personal preference.
