SUPERMAN (2025)
Superman has a lot to answer for. The 1978 film directed by Richard Donner that is. Over the years that same origin story formula has been done to death; in comic book movies beyond. That classic three act structure that often runs out of steam when it needs to reach an action filled resolution. But what happens when that formula, and in turn the backstory, is jettisoned entirely? Of course, you know the story of Krypton, everyone knows it. Is it a refreshing way to reboot the whole thing, again, for a new era? Or does it result in pacing issues for everything that follows?
