Clark finds out who he really is when he discovers an ancient Kryptonian scouting ship, but the same command key that lures his father's ghost acts a beacon for Zod and his army. Fast forward to Earth, where a grown, bearded, and handsome Clark Kent ( Henry Cavill) is a nomad who - as his late father, Jonathan ( Kevin Costner) instructed - hides his special powers, except for occasionally saving men from a burning oil rig or rescuing fearless investigative journalist Lois Lane ( Amy Adams). Zod and his cronies are banished - a sentence that ultimately saves the troop of villains when Krypton implodes. During a failed coup attempt by General Zod ( Michael Shannon), Jor-El is killed - but not before his wife launches their newborn son to the distant planet Earth. Unlike all the other babies on Krypton - who are engineered by a codex to be workers, warriors, leaders, or scientists - baby Kal-El was made the old-fashioned way, by the planet's head scientist, Jor-El ( Russell Crowe), and his wife, Lara ( Ayelet Zurer). MAN OF STEEL begins with the origin story of Superman's birth on Krypton. Or better yet, watch the Krypton bit, then fast forward to Zod and enjoy.
CAPTAIN MARVEL 2 CAST HENRY CAVILL MOVIE
I guess if you are an action movie fan with 3 free hours then go for it. Despite early promise, it ended up being too mindless for most older viewers to be kept interested, while being too violent for a younger audience. Unless you are a superman fan, I don't see the point of this movie.
CAPTAIN MARVEL 2 CAST HENRY CAVILL FULL
The intimate physical violence, smashing faces, grinding heads into the ground, and especially the neck snapping at the end of the movie was unnecessary and hard to take.Īttempting to hold this slug-fest together was an increasingly irrelevant story full of plot holes and even the claim that evolutionary theory predicts that amorality gives a species a survival advantage (.really?) Then the bad guys appeared and the movie turned into a festival of indestructible aliens pounding each other (and the city) into pulp (and rubble). This movie had the potential to be better than most one-dimensional superhero movies. We watched the first hour and loved the way it developed the characters and the relationships Superman has with his fathers and Lois Lane. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails. Expect plenty of messages about good and evil and identity and what it means to be a hero ultimately this is a story about the duality of Superman's life (part Clark Kent, part Kal-El), as symbolized by his two fathers.
Product placements are limited to IHOP, which is shown a few times, and Nikon (but there are more than 100 off-screen licensing deals/promotions in place globally for the movie). Language is infrequent but includes occasional use of "s-t," "d-k," and "ass." The romance even tamer: Lois Lane and Superman hold hands and kiss twice in one scene. There's definitely a lot of violence (including a destroyed planet, necks being broken, hand-to-hand combat that results in deaths, and - possible spoiler alert - Superman actually killing an enemy), but it's more macro than micro in scale: buildings topple, the sea crashes down, planes plummet, etc. Parents need to know that Man of Steel, the latest take on the legendary Superman character, is darker than the classic Superman films but lighter (and less bloody) than The Dark Knight trilogy. Lois is a courageous investigative journalist who's willing to kill a story if it means helping Superman. Martha is a loving, unconditional mother who just wants whatever will keep Clark safe. Jonathan Kent reminds Clark to protect himself and not show off his strength until he feels the world is ready for him. He encourages his son to use his superhuman gifts and strength to help humanity, not destroy it.
Jor-El guides his beloved Kal-El, even from beyond the grave. (That said - possible spoiler alert! - Superman does kill an enemy in this movie, which isn't typical for the character.) Both of Superman's fathers are wise and selfless. Even younger viewers will understand that this Superman is what his father Jor-El called the best of both Krypton and Earth. Clark/Kal-El/Superman is always selflessly willing to use his strength to save others, whether it's kids drowning on his school bus, strangers working on a burning oil rig, or Lois Lane being hurt by a Kryptonian robot.
