He's a reminder that basic salt-and-earth principles and values never go out of style, that righteousness is a choice one must make - I could go on.MAN OF STEEL brings Superman back, in a big way. By way of the reboot, Superman is made a symbol to any kid who feels closeted, ostracized, unsure of their identity or is simply impatient for a greater purpose in life that awaits them. Whereas Superman Returns tried to repackage the world's greatest superhero in a familiar (read: dated) package of Richard Donner nostalgia, Man of Steel posited ideas that are wholly relevant to the here and now. Director Zack Snyder only compounded those ideas with some keen and insightful visual iconography and visual metaphor. Goyer - whatever you want to say about their dialogue or narrative structure choices - crafted a very substantive and multi-layered examination of who Superman is, and why he is an icon. That distinction is often the difference between comic book movies that make a deep impression on the cultural consciousness, and ones that are cast eventually off and forgotten for being silly, shallow, or generally ill-conceived. Thor 2, Iron Man 3 and Kick-Ass 2 were all fun times at the theater - but all three were also short on substance when it came to any real themes or messages.
It was a long and hard road to get the character back into theaters, but for all intents and purposes, Zack Snyder's Man of Steel has indeed secured a place in the zeitgeist for a new vision of Superman.
While every critic and awards show will be arguing over which movie ranks as overall best, or which actor or actress did best, we here at Screen Rant would rather take on a more specific - and more volatile - debate: which superhero movie was the best of the year.Ģ013 brought us a group of sequels - Kick-Ass 2, Iron Man 3, and Thor: The Dark World - and a semi-sequel thingy ( Wolverine), but the biggest story was no doubt the world being reintroduced to the character of Superman on film. As another year in movies draws to a close it's once again time for the usual annual debates, ranking movies released in 2013 according to various criteria of consideration.
