![]() ![]() Those are also two of my personal favorite movies of all time from any genre. I also complained about the fact the film included so many of the same primary plot points from Richard Donner’s Superman (1978) and Richard Lester’s version of Richard Donner’s Superman II (1980), two of the best superhero movies ever made and still the template used the most successful modern superhero movies (the Marvel Studios approach, which so many DC fans disparage, is in fact just an updated version of the template created in Donner’s Superman, and Christopher Nolan famously pointed to Superman’s template as the one he followed as well). His parents, the loss of his father, his life in Smallville, how he kept his secret - these are important foundational aspects of the character, and so much of that backstory is seen from a new perspective deconstructing the origins and common awareness of those events and themes in Clark’s life. ![]() My complaints arose first and foremost from the unfamiliarity with those storytelling choices, because they are counter to how these things and themes have been presented previously. ![]()
