Zack Snyder. The slowly up and coming underdog in the film business. He started off with Dawn of the Dead and gradually introduced to us his unique vision and out of this world imagination with the films to follow. I'm not here to talk about any of his movies but Man Of Steel. As many doubt his abilities due to recent films, i actually think this is the project that turn everything around for him. What do I expect from his take on the upcoming Superman feature?
Character Development and Imagination. Zack Snyder has a way of turning a small event into a major brain twister. He presents all of the feelings and emotions that each character is going through. Zack Snyder draws us in with his unique touch of realism with a splash of imagination. So how Is Snyder going to turn a strange visitor from Krypton into a symbol of peace and power? Obviously it's going to start with the origins and how Kal-El came to planet earth and the changes he made to become Clark Kent. I think the first act in MoS is going to focus on Inner Struggle and Confusion. This is where Snyder will make his money. The transformation itself is going to utilize the character development he has used in all his previous films. Just as he did with Rorschach in Watchmen and Babydoll in Sucker Punch, he showed us just how one person can grow and change emotionally.
Action. Snyder has one heck of an mind when it comes to his action scenes. The man expands what is one or two punches to a KO. In the past films, our Man of Steel has fought environmental threats and villains. Usually one or the other. With most of filming to be done on location, expect less CGI and more Location Action Scenes. What does this mean to us fanboys? Expect destruction and alot of fighting between both the environment and General Zod himself. (which poses more of a physical threat to Superman than Lex Luther). I dont expect too much Slo-Mo scenes seeing as how the name Nolan is attached. Nolan knows that it gets tiring after a while. In the first act i would assume more of an environmental threat slowly evolving into a physical confrontation towards the end of act 3 between him and General Zod.
The Tone of the movie. Bryan Singer followed in the same footsteps that was done in the Donner films in a way. Having no tights and changing the look of Superman into a more current state shows that Snyder wants to start fresh. It wont be as bright as previous versions as the shading and tone of his previous films have been grim and dark. With Nolan attached expect a darker more grimmer version of Superman as he has had to leave home for Metropolis, lost his birth parents and is now having to deal with his past and current conflicts. Which goes back to Character Development. Just as good ol Bruce Wayne has had much of a Inner Struggle, that same element will be brought into MoS.
Climax. The ending is what gets Snyder. Though in past films, he has closed all loose ends, he tends to leave the general audience in a blunt state of confusion. Snyder cant pull the "I'am going to mess with your mind" game on this one. That's not what Superman is about. He is one of the best well written and drawn out superheroes in the history of comics and film, not some puzzle to figure out. So he must leave him open like Nolan has done with Batman. End it with an open feeling to us, knowing that the hero still stands tall and is willing to continue protect the earth and people of Metropolis along with figuring himself out.
So what do you all think or expect from what could possibly be one of Snyder's best pieces of film created? These are just my thoughts, as I'am a huge Snyder Fan. Besides TDKR, this has got to be my second most anticipated film to come. As usual comment down below!!
