Superman saved a lot of people and saved the metropolis, which was seen by many people, and compared to those victims of the Metropolitan War, this part of the people was still the majority, and they recognized Superman as the hero who saved their city to some extent.

At the end of the film, the ruins of the battle between the metropolis of Superman and Doomday have been cleaned up and turned into a memorial square, and in the center of the square, those admirers of Superman pull down the curtain of a statue, and the statue of Superman stands proudly, becoming a veritable hero of the metropolis.
However, the camera pans to see countless protest banners standing in the crowd on the outskirts of the square, barricaded by the police, words like monsters, murderers, and others burning Superman's uniform-style costumes.
In front of Superman, the people are inevitably divided, some worship Superman, and some hate Superman.
This is the end of Man of Steel.
In that private screening room in Chicago, Roger Albert stood up with the armrests of his chair and clapped his palms, the applause was monotonous, but it represented his attitude.
How can an alien with great power who has not yet fully learned self-control be a perfect hero?
"It's the best superhero movie I've ever seen." He said directly to Richard Rope, "Dark, deep, restrained, heavy......"
Richard Roope nodded and said, "In previous superhero movies, the damage caused by combat was always overlooked, but is this really good? ā
Although this is a question, his answer is obvious.
Inside the State Theatre of New York, the applause rang out like a tidal wave, and Doug clapped and said to his partner next to him, "How do you feel?" ā
"The scene is not to be said, it is quite textured and stylized." The people next to him couldn't stop admiring, "Superman and Wonder Woman vs. Doom Day are quite burning, especially the section where Wonder Woman comes with BGM to the scene, but after reading it, I always feel unfinished, and I want to see the Justice League as soon as possible." ā
Doug laughed, and his companion laughed happily, of course he was happy to see such a great film.
In the front row, Murphy and the main members of the crew routinely dealt with the crowd of congratulations, and entered the press room from the VIP passage reserved at the front.
Unlike previous premieres, Warner Bros. arranged a press conference after the screening.
Chris Evans is the undisputed protagonist in the film, but at the press conference, almost all media reporters turned their eyes and questions to Murphy, and even if you are not a professional reporter covering movies and Hollywood, you can see that this is definitely a film like no other.
"Man of Steel" is neither like any superhero movie that has appeared, nor like the prevalent and heavily homogenized summer popcorn movie, it seems so different, exuding a dark but charming temperament.
"Director Stanton, we've just seen a reimagined Superman who is different from previous films and different from comic book characters."
A reporter from Premiere magazine was the first to stand up, "Can you tell me why you want to create such a superman?" ā
Something went wrong with the microphone in front of Murphy, and he motioned to Gal Gadot next to him, and Gal Gadot changed his microphone to Murphy.
"Superman is indeed a very difficult superhero to photograph, many people know him, but they don't know him."
Adjusting the height of the microphone a little, Murphy looked at the press room packed with reporters below and said, "For me, the most challenging part of creating a Superman movie was how to show people that this character was seen as a god, that he had a sense of identity, and that he could reach out to people, and when I was approached by the top of Warner Bros., I realized that this was a great opportunity to see Clark Kent's struggles and let people see their own shadow in Clark and really get to know him; To be able to realize with Clark the great responsibility that he has to face and bear, and to become that superhero superidol with him. ā
He thought for a moment and said, "Reinventing Superman is one of the reasons we made this movie, he's always been a great icon, everybody knows something about him, but when you realize there's so much else you don't know, it's going to be a very special experience." ā
A reporter from The Hollywood Reporter stood up and asked, "What do you think of Miss Gal Gadot and her Wonder Woman?" ā
"She was perfect."
Given his relationship with Gal Gadot, Murphy didn't plan to say more, but simply said, "She played a very important role in this movie and was the introduction to the other heroes in the Justice League." ā
There are not many heroes involved in the film, except for Superman and Wonder Woman, the only trace that can be found is Batman, the reporter with the "Entertainment Weekly" tag on his chest took the microphone and asked, "Can you see from the film that the Wayne Building in Metropolitan was destroyed by Superman and Doom Day in the Great War, is the next DC superhero movie related to Batman." ā
"I'm sorry......" Murphy shook his head, "I'm just the director of Man of Steel, how the subsequent series will develop, you have to ask Warner Bros. and the planning team of DC Comics." ā
Anyway, until now, Murphy has not received any news that Warner Bros. has renewed his follow-on film directing agreement, and according to Bill Rosith's understanding, Warner Bros. executives are still very concerned about his high salary.
There's no way Murphy could lower his demands, and he took Man of Steel for a high pay.
Murphy dealt with these questions with ease, but soon someone raised the difficulty.
A British female reporter stood up, "In the final battle between Superman and Doom Day, why did Superman choose the battlefield in Metropolis?" He didn't know it would cause accidental injury? He appears extremely irrational in battle, and he doesn't have enough experience......"
"I'm surprised by your question...... Murphy has an incredulous expression on his face, "because for me it's part of Superman, every superhero shouldn't appear out of nowhere, anyone who deals with a crisis needs to learn and accumulate, even if it's Superman, it takes time to grow." ā
Another reporter from the Wall Street Journal similarly questioned that "Superman's duty is to protect civilians, and he is perfectly capable of directing the fight into the deserted wilderness, rather than fighting in the downtown area, and ending up with such horrific casualties." ā
"Superman is just a junior brother who has just gone through two battles." Murphy said unhurriedly, "I made it very clear in the film, the whole battle was always dominated by the natural killing machine Doom Day, and Superman and Wonder Woman had no possibility of choosing the battlefield at all. ā
There is no doubt that "Man of Steel" shows how much damage can be done to civilians when power is not controlled, and the civilian casualties shown in the film that break through the established pattern of Hollywood are the focus of attention of multimedia reporters.
While change brings new excitement, there will never be a shortage of doubts and criticism.
Just like the opinions of the public and the media about Superman in the film, the real media reporters are also divided into two camps for the setting of "Man of Steel", but the doubters are only a small minority.
Compared with the media, tonight's audience has a relatively unified opinion on this film, especially those who can go to the premiere and early screening, either Superman fans or Murphy supporters......
The Superman movies of the past really lacked a unique style and characteristics, and now they undoubtedly have this and have won the hearts of many Superman fans.
Even if some people are somewhat dissatisfied with the creation of such a serious and depressing character, they still give it praise when interviewed by reporters and inquiries from investigative companies.
When Doug went out, he met the on-site investigators of Cinemascore, and after receiving a small gift from them, he said, "A+! It must be an A+! ā
He first gave a rating, and then continued, "It's not a happy movie, but Murphy has taken the comic book hero movie to a new level, with a deep style and inner confusion, which adds to the heaviness of the DC hero." ā
Just a dozen feet to his left, a male viewer was being interviewed by a television station.
"Murphy has given Superman the darkness and heaviness that I love so much!" The fan still had some excitement on his face, "Wonder Woman is blind, and the soundtrack is praised to the kidney, which lives up to expectations!" Hang the twenty streets of "Spider-Man 3" released some time ago! ā
In North America, many viewers who watched the advance and premiere were consulted by CinemaScore on the spot, and the ratings and comments were immediately transmitted to Cinemascore's headquarters, and then they were taken out and refined in order to derive specific predictions.
"The special effects, the fight scenes, the soundtrack are shocking, burning! Burst! As a DC brain-dead fan, I'm still excited! The visuals are stunning! ā
"I like it very much, knowing that Superman is portrayed too darkly, but I am still shocked by Murphy Stanton's excellent design."
"After reading it, my mind is full of Wonder Woman! It's so handsome! The game of people, power, media, villains and superheroes is also okay, Murphy's personal style and Superman are almost perfectly integrated. ā
"This is definitely the best-looking Superman in history, and even the best superhero movie, although there is a trace of hard flaws in the plot, but when it comes to the later Superman and Wonder Woman vs. Doom Day, it completely turns Spider-Man, X-Men and the Fantastic Four into all kinds of scum."
"The strongest battle scene in the history of science fiction, this film truly reflects the sense of oppression brought about by the disparity of biological forces at the far end of the evolutionary chain, and the rhythm of the whole film is as tight and pleasing as a trailer, which can be called the most worthy of the sci-fi film of the trailer."
