Compared with "Superman: Man of Steel", although the setting refers to the background of General Zod's invasion of the earth, this version of "Superman" is basically two completely different stories.

Clark Kent learned of his identity in the Kryptonian spacecraft in the Antarctic ice and obtained the official Superman battle suit.

In the early publicity, Simon's Superman suit designed by the styling in "Superman: Man of Steel" also caused some controversy. As the release date of the film approaches, the new Superman suit with a strong sense of power has also gained more and more recognition. Many Superman fans even believe that this is what Superman really should be.

Changing into battle suits and comprehension of the power he possessed, Superman leaped over the glacier for the first time, crossed the sea, crossed the desert, passed through the grassland, and finally rushed to the vast starry sky to overlook the earth, which once again brought the audience a visual feast full of impact.

For Hollywood filmmakers who attended the premiere, the advanced special effects technology contained in this set of shots in less than a minute even makes people feel a strong sense of powerlessness.

The mainstream of Hollywood is still pursuing those big stars and directors with lower cost performance. Daenerys Entertainment has left everyone far behind through unremitting efforts in technology.

While Superman awakened, Louise Ryan, a reporter from Planet Daily, who was accidentally rescued in the Antarctic ice, began to inquire about the details of the alien visitor, and followed Clark Kent's former adventure trail and gradually approached the truth.

In the distant space, General Zod led his subordinates to Earth after receiving the signal from the Kryptonian spacecraft.

In "Superman: Man of Steel", General Zod arrived on Earth and directly started global broadcasting to demand the handover of Kryptonians hidden among humans, which triggered a global public opinion storm.

Zach Schneider's original intention is to torture human nature through this plot, increase the connotation of the movie, and at the same time contrasts with Superman's nearly perfect "divine nature". Even if he is betrayed by humans, he still chooses to stand on the side of humans, and then directs the story to Superman's tragic ending in "Batman vs. Superman".

Simon has never considered playing the deep play Darkness since the beginning of planning the DC movie universe. If he had to abandon something, he would choose to make the DC movie universe into a pure popcorn series without hesitation.

The same is true for this "Superman".

Therefore, General Zod and his party who arrived on Earth did not start global broadcasts again, but directly ignored the fragile "ants" living on this planet, investigated the Kryptonian spacecraft that sent the signal, and confirmed through clues left by Clark Kent, that Kent was probably a descendant of Joe Al.

The most important point is that Joe Al's descendants are likely to have a mother box that contains enough to rebuild Kryptonian power.

General Zod has always hoped to rebuild Krypton.

Find the mother box and the long-cherished wish of wandering in space for hundreds of years can be realized. The indigenous planet under their feet, which is rich in resources, can also be used as the raw material for rebuilding Krypton.

By collecting information about the human world, General Zod and his party quickly confirmed Clark Kent's identity and went straight to Kent's hometown.

Kansas, the small town of Smallville where Clark Kent grew up.

Louise Ryan finally met the alien visitor in front of the tombstone of Superman’s adoptive father Jonathan Kent. Clark no longer concealed his identity, but told Louise about his adoptive father’s experience of his death in an accident that could have been saved by him, in order to show his attitude towards the world.

Then, the Kryptonian spacecraft descended from the sky.

In a hasty encounter, the entire town of Smallville was almost destroyed. In order to protect her mother, Louise Ryan and the residents of the town, Clark Kent could only allow General Zod to take away the mother box.

The spacecraft appeared, the powerful aliens confronted each other, and the town encountered the raging ruins, and the news spread quickly.

The federal government habitually blocked the entire town, strictly controlling the leak of news on the grounds of avoiding panic, and began to pursue the whereabouts of Kryptonian spacecraft.

Clark Kent quietly left with Louise Lane in advance.

During the communication between the information left by the Kryptonian spacecraft in the Antarctic ice layer and the biological father, Clark Kent knew that the mother box contained powerful energy, and Joe Al repeatedly reminded Clark Kent to protect the mother box.

Superman had never thought about using the power of the mother box, so he didn't know what General Zod and his group planned to use the mother box to do.

However, Kent and Ryan both felt a strong threat and instinctively believed that the mother box should be snatched back.

The storyline continues to advance.

The federal government quickly found the whereabouts of the Kryptonian spacecraft and encountered an attack during the test contact. At a critical moment, Superman arrived in time.

The second climax scene.

The federal army retreated under Superman's cover. During the confrontation between Superman and General Zod, Superman learned about the other party's purpose.

In order to rebuild the overall situation of Krypton, General Zod also tried to recruit Superman, but was rejected.

After another fierce battle, Superman realized that he had to cooperate with the federal government, so he took the initiative to engage in the military and tried to stop General Zod's conspiracy.

During this process, the mother box is activated.

The Kryptonian spacecraft appeared over the metropolitan city and used the energy provided by the mother box to start transforming the earth. The metropolis suffered huge damage.

After the opening Krypton Battle scene, the Daenerys special effects once again contributed an extremely shocking scene of the city's destruction.

Moreover, unlike the fantasy Krypton, what was destroyed this time was completely a city that exists in reality, so it inevitably triggered a strong sense of inclusion among the audience.

The final battle.

In order to save the world, Superman and the military work together to destroy the Kryptonian spacecraft and kill General Zod in a showdown between Superman and Superman.

Although the current CG special effects cannot fully show the special effects scenes of "Superman: Man of Steel" that destroys the world in Simon's memory, while making the most of the current technical resources, the final battle is still thrilling for viewers in the early 1990s, and the shock is no less than the destruction of the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the big screen at the end of last year.

At the end of the story, the whole world is trapped in the discussion of the war between humans and aliens in the metropolis, and the image of Superman also frequently appears in the media.

Some people admire, some fear, some criticize, and some worship.

Clark Kent was hiding in the crowd again and joined the temporary headquarters of the Planet Daily to become a reporter. He took a break from his busy schedule under the agitated editor-in-chief. He stood with Louise Ryan in front of the wall-mounted TV that was reporting the news of "Superman". In the noisy and messy scenes, a child wearing a imitation Superman uniform said that he was a hero.

The two looked at each other and held their hands quietly together.

The picture is dark.

The grand background music sounded.

In the China Grand Theater, all the audiences felt satisfied after just watching an excellent video, but there was no commotion in the screening room as the subtitles rose.

According to convention, DC movies have easter eggs that are expected.

Finally, after the ten-minute ending subtitles ended, the screen lighted up again.

Looking down at the camera, in the center of the ruins of the metropolis, people wearing chemical defense suits were busy like ants among the wreckage of Krypton spacecraft. Soon, someone shouted in surprise: Found.

Immediately, the mother box that had dimmed again was lifted out, and the others quickly gathered forward.

The Easter eggs didn't end so easily.

The camera is pulled away again, and a silhouette wearing a cloak appears in the camera on the top floor of a building near the ruins.

It flashed away.

The big screen is completely dark.

"Batman!"

Accompanied by the warm applause that immediately erupted, there were already audiences in the theater hall.

Superman and Batman have met too many times in the comics.

However, this is the first time on the big screen.

Even if there is no head-on confrontation for the time being, and it only appears in a movie in the form of an easter egg, it is enough to excite comic fans.

The DC movie universe has been laying the foundation for the heroes' gathering scenes, but so far there have not been a scene of several superheroes fighting side by side. Now, with Batman and Superman appearing in the same movie, everyone also realizes that this day will no longer be far away.

Early the next morning, all kinds of media were almost one-sidedly focusing on the grand premiere of "Superman", and the reputation of the film was directly lifted.

"Danelles truly perfectly interprets a powerful superhero image on the big screen with her unparalleled special effects technology." - "Hollywood Reporter"

"In the perfect fifth part, Simon Westeros has been able to control the pace of the DC movie universe, and the plot is as smooth and compact as ever. Compared with Batman and Wonder Woman, the powerful Kryptonian brings a completely different shocking visual experience to the audience." - The Los Angeles Times

"Newcomer Brad Pitt successfully took over Christopher Reeve, Courtney Cox successfully got rid of "Scream" and opened a new screen image." - "Entertainment Weekly"

"Although Simon Westero personally checked, Roland Emmeric's performance was still unexpected. There is no doubt that Hollywood has once again produced an excellent director who is enough to control the super bombshell." - "Variety Show"

“…”

“…”

In the hot media discussion, after preliminary statistics, the comprehensive media score of "Superman" reached 8.7, easily surpassing all the videos that were first played in the previous two weeks of the summer vacation. Moreover, under the coverage of phenomenal popularity, a small number of criticism could not prevent the audience from entering the theater at all.

After a day of reputation fermentation on Thursday, on June 4, "Superman" officially opened on a large scale in North America with a screen size of 3,329.

With a popularity comparable to "Batman", the popularity of four successful films in DC's Cinema Universe paved the way for the more shocking special effects scenes, which are absolutely excellent media reputation, dominating the high-quality schedule of the first week, with almost no suspense. After its release, "Superman"'s box office was unstoppable.

Including the midnight show, the cumulative box office of the film reached US$23.69 million on the first day.

Subsequently, after two days of screenings on Saturday and Sunday, Superman's first three-day paintings quickly hit $69.15 million, surpassing the record of $68.38 million in the first three-day paintings set by Batman: The Dark Knight.

Entering the working day, because there were no other strong competitors during the same period, Superman continued to gain box office strongly.

Finally, from June 4 to June 10, in the first seven days, the cumulative box office of "Superman" reached 112.61 million US dollars, becoming the second Hollywood blockbuster that achieved a box office of over 100 million in the first week after "Batman: The Dark Knight".

In just one week, "Superman" achieved the goal of over 100 million yuan in local box office that many Hollywood movies are pursuing.

There are two types of movies in Hollywood, and the conclusions of DC Cinema Universe and other films have been confirmed again.

Due to the strong impact of "Superman", a series of films released in previous weeks have seen a very significant decline in box office this week.

Columbia Pictures' $70 million "The Legend of the Wind" was released in the third week, with a drop of 53%, with only $7.96 million left in a single week, and a cumulative box office of only $49.96 million in three weeks. It is expected that the total box office in North America can only barely exceed $70 million.

The start of "Super Mario Bros" produced by Disney was already a disappointing one. Under the crushing of "Superman", the box office fell by 51% the next week, with only US$4.69 million, and the cumulative box office in two weeks was US$14.36 million. After many theaters completed two-week screening contracts, they began to quickly withdraw the schedule of "Super Mario Bros.", and the screening scale of 2,081 screens in the first week quickly shrank to 1,276 in the third week, and it is expected that it will basically be down in four weeks.

"The Legend of the Sun" is expected to recover costs through omni-channel operation in the next few years. The production cost of "Super Mario Bros." is as high as $48 million, and the local box office is expected to be less than $20 million. Including the subsequent profits of other channels that are destined to be equally bleak, Disney's losses are inevitable.

Other films such as "The Legend of Bruce Lee", "My Genius Family", "Made in the United States", and "The Fairy Tale Ending" have also failed to escape the fate of a sharp decline in box office.

On June 11, four new films emerged in North American theaters at one time.

Paramount Pictures' sequel to "The Adams Family" "The Values ​​of the Adams Family" has 2,577 yuan on screen. Two years ago, the first song of "The Adams Family" sold well at the box office. This sequel is the most important film in Paramount this summer, and its production budget has also increased from $30 million in the first song to $47 million.

Paramount also carefully considered the choice to face the next week of "Superman".

According to the box office rules of previous DC movie universe films, except for the first "Batman: The Moment of War" which fell in the second week, the box office declines in the next week will be very obvious after the market potential of several other films were greatly released in the first week, so the market space was quickly freed up.

Moreover, the "Adams Family's Values" type is a comedy and has little conflict with "Superman".

Speaking of which, the four new films that were started this week are basically due to the same considerations.
