Man of tomorrow is yesterday’s news
Origin stories are always tricky. Too much exposition, too much reliance on old themes and old storylines, they become dull. Too little, they’re empty. This effort is somewhere in between. While it isn’t terrible, it isn’t that great, either.What we have here is another reboot of how Superman came to be and a riff on how Parasite came to be but not unbe. The story is familiar and with a “love conquers all” message at the end–not needed, IMO, because of how treacly it was–it brought down the movie to a level of barely passable.
Pluses. The voices are good, particularly Zachary Quinto as Lex Luthor. I’m used to Clancy Brown, but Quinto’s riff on it wasn’t bad, and the evilness of Luthor in the final showdown was solid. Darren Criss as Superman/Clark Kent was fine, and Alexandra Daddario as Lois Lane was good. I’m sort of spoiled by Brad Garrett’s interpretation of Lobo, but Ryan Hurst does well enough, showing the meanness…but not all the humor. Ike Amadi as Martian Manhunter does well enough in his role, investing his character with gravity and pathos.
Music. Good, but not great. Direction also good but not great. The story could have moved a bit faster. It was a by-the-numbers direction job, but not terrible by any means.
Minuses. The animation could have been a lot better. It reminded me of The Brave and the Bold style, with somewhat less of a black outline around the characters.
Parasite reminded me more of Godzilla: Resurgence (which was pretty awesome, IMO) but his character really didn’t move me one way or the other. He’s supposed to garner the audience’s sympathy for his condition; he left lukewarm. Couldn’t hate him, but definitely didn’t like him. Every superhero needs a villain, and Lobo was more compelling in his own way.
But the biggest drawback was the overall familiarity of the story and the unwillingness to move in a different direction. I’m a huge DC fan, so I always look forward to what they come up with, but this is a far cry from being their best or even being near their best. It’s worth a watch, but not a buy.
Just okay.
I was really excited for this one. Despite my feelings on him as a person, Max Landis really delivered a take on Superman that had lots of heart, soul, and wit in American Alien. Now, a few years later, Superman: Man of Tomorrow takes that story and wrings it dry.It’s not a direct adaptation, but the elements are clearly borrowed from Clark’s sleepover as a child, to his initial Superman costume, to settings like LexCorp, and Lobo being his first fight against an alien. And I get it, adapting Max’s work is rightly controversial, but I wish they had stuck it a little closer to the original comic than trying to make an original story out of his initial concepts.
What made American Alien work vs Man of Tomorrow is that it allowed Clark to be more experimental and full of personality. He got drunk, he reveled in how popular he was becoming, and sometimes he feared how powerful he actually was. Man of Tomorrow Clark feels dull, monotone, and completely lacking of charisma. I thought Darren Criss was a great choice for Clark, but I entirely put the blame on the direction rather than the choice of actor.
Even Lobo, one of the most bombastic personalities of DC, feels oddly stripped of his fun-ness as the score of the movie sticks itself into ambiance and silence rather than a big bodacious overture.
Tone, or lack there of, seems to be the biggest detractor of this film, making an hour and 26 minute film drag longer than 2 hour blockbusters, yet also feeling like its missing scenes that add any heart. I get it, Clark feels like an alien and is afraid to reveal his identity as one – but is that really the lesson you were adopting from American Alien?
I still await a Superman origin film that really encapsulates that “Kal-El” is the boy scout puffing his chest and Clark is the real American man underneath.
Also, making Parasite a Godzilla clone was just plain dumb. His death feels directly stolen from Shin Godzilla.
