I wanted to like this movie. Admittedly, I went in with high expectations, but I thought the names behind the movie, the actors and the beautiful trailer justified my high hopes. And — at first — I thought it was all going to work out. For the first 40 minutes or so, this movie is awesome. In the first half, I think the tone is perfect. Then, kind of suddenly, the main story with Zod and the action starts. When the serious actions starts, all coherent story telling stops.
In the blink of an eye the movie goes from feeling like a sci-fi Batman Begins to Transformers 3 minus the nuanced story telling. I kept waiting for it to recapture the tone of the first half, but the action just keeps getting bigger and dumber.
In the middle of the unending action spectacle of the second half, I actually nodded off. This movie had the creative talent, and the actors to make something really great. Not only does the editor of the Superman books feel that Infogrames is on the right track with its upcoming PS2 game see page??
With the help of Berganza and his fellow Super-folk, Circus Freak has plotted a veritable sequel to a popular Y2K storyline from a couple years back see sidebar. This time, the evil, living supercomputer Brainiac 13 returns to Metropolis to reclaim the futuristic technology he left there, which was in turn stolen by Lex Luthor. Also factoring into the plot, Bizarro, Metallo, Cyborg, Mongul and Parasite only complicate matters, while allies like Steel, Lois and Jimmy help out the heroic man in tights.
And everything in the game is huge'. Is it ever. If the skyline in Spider-Man impressed you, just wait until you take on Bi3's attack droids high into the sky of a Metropolis that absolutely lives up to its name including landmarks like the LexCorp building and Supes' golden statue.
And, oh yeah X-ray and telescopic vision, ice breath, superstrength and other powers should help justify Berganza's excitement to all who thought they'd never see a decent Superman game.
