Chapter 401 Primary school students make an appointment
A film, especially a genre with a large number of fans, will inevitably be opposed by a group of firm supporters. Human history has witnessed this countless times, and neither politics nor economy nor the film industry will be an exception.
In the premiere and early stages, cinemasore also received some negative ratings, especially a few superhuman fans wearing underwear, who fiercely criticized "Man of Steel".
"The lack of the most basic logic, and some pictures make me disgusted. The aliens who destroyed various buildings were wandering countless times on the way, massaging their foreheads countless times, wasting my time and money."
"You can tell how bad a superhero movie can be, just look at Murphy Stanton's "Man of Steel."
"Murphy Stanton ruined Superman, a sunny character who turned into a lost ordinary person in his hands. It's ridiculous."
Although it is midnight, the cinemasore company is brightly lit, and every weekend is their busiest time. Data faxes from all over North America often make the company work all night.
The sky has just turned white, and the two duty managers working in the same office have obtained the same data. According to the operating rules of cinemasore, they need to sign the data page at the same time, so that the statistics they have made can be officially announced and taken effect.
"Ha, it's interesting." The older person looked at the statistical report and said, "Eighty-two percent of the people who were under our investigation and consultation gave a super high score of a+, but twelve percent gave a very different score of d-."
The younger man put down his glasses and said, "The reputation of "Body of Steel" may be split into two extremes."
"The possibility is very high." The older people agree with him. "From the statistical data, a small group of viewers who are extremely disagreeable with this new Superman video."
He suddenly asked again, "What do you think of the box office?"
"The box office will not be very bad, right?" the man in glasses thought for a while and said, "Looking at the entire North America, there are still many people who like dark and deep movies."
Older people agree with him quite a bit, "Murphy Stanton's previous films such as "The Lost Lover" have also proved this."
This type of film has never lacked audiences, and Murphy's appeal is increasing year by year. As soon as the sun climbed the Santa Monica Mountain on Friday, he received the premiere and early box office delivered by Warner Bros.
On Thursday night, "Man of Steel" won $13.8 million in the early stages released in 3,500 theaters at the same time.
This box office figure is not as good as the same period data of "Spider-Man 3" released two weeks ago, but it is a good enough start for Murphy and Warner Bros. The most important point is that "Spider-Man 3" has a very bad reputation in both the media and the audience, while "Man of Steel" is exactly the opposite.
Although some bad reviews were released quickly after the early screening, positive reviews still accounted for the majority of the comments on "Man of Steel".
In terms of professional film critics, well-known film critics led by Roger Albert have basically given positive reviews. Perhaps the tone of this film is indeed very good to their appetite.
Kenneth Tulan of the Los Angeles Times commented that "While Man of Steel is a movie adapted from a comic, it is also a dark and highly complex drama."
Almost all well-known film critics posted comments on "Body of Steel" in newspaper columns or on their blogs at the first time.
"In the compact action plot design of "Man of Steel", Murphy Stanton used more angles and wider perspective shooting methods, and the nearly perfect picture shocked the audience. If you were lucky enough to enjoy this video last night, you would definitely be more surprised and cheerful. The extraordinaryness of this video is that it tells the audience the continuous growth of a hero in his life experience and inner fear and nightmare."
Richard Chris, The New York Times
"If "Man of Steel" is the most experienced and ambitious work of its genre, it is by no means an exaggeration. In terms of conceptualization, creation, performance and director, it surpasses all "Superman" series, and even all comic-adapted superhero movies. This Superman reboot, helmed by Murphy Stanton, is a dark, complex and uneasy movie, at least because it grafts comic heroes onto the blueprint of real reality, rather than just creating a Superman in elastic-fiber costume. Although this difference may not be very different for those who are looking forward to the return of Sky Knight, I can say here: "Man of Steel" is the first comic-adapted film to have truly achieved great artistic achievements so far!"
Roger Albert, The Chicago Sun.
This former Pulitzer Prize winner not only gave "Man of Steel" a super high score of nine points, but also gave two thumbs up!
In addition to film critics' media columns, magazines such as "Premiere", "Hollywood Reporter", "Movie Weekly" are also praised.
"The movie report of "Body of Steel" is fiercely debated by human nature and divine nature. Superheroes have experienced the vicissitudes of life, and Wonder Woman is beautiful and eye-catching."
"This is an absolute example of Hollywood superhero movies and represents the highest level of Hollywood filmmaking art. Murphy Stanton brings a work of charm."
"This movie continues the usual excellent elements of Murphy Stanton's work, the gloomy atmosphere, the ups and downs of stories, and the interesting characters, making this blockbuster that lasted more than two hours look very exciting."
"Man of Steel is a dark and heavy movie that has carried far more weight than a superhero movie can carry. Its global box office may not be as good as Spider-Man 3, but it may be the best superhero movie. Compared with the flaws and mortal weaknesses discussed in Man of Steel, Spider-Man 3 is really a pediatrician."
"Through Man of Steel, Murphy Stanton convinced us for the first time that melodramas originating from popular culture can also have charm that rival Greek mythology."
During the day on Friday, as a newly released film, "Man of Steel" easily surpassed "Spider-Man 3" and "Shrek Monster 3" in terms of audiences and attendance, making it the most popular film of the day.
As a famous die-hard supporter of Murphy, Daisy spoke in the ImDB discussion group one after another, calling on the members of the discussion group to go to the theater as much as possible to support "Man of Steel".
"This is a movie worth watching repeatedly. Watching movies repeatedly is not only a possibility, but also has the necessity of it. Judging from the design of the film, this adrenaline stimulation can never be fully satisfied with one viewing. The film's racing-like speed, shocking sound effects, bloody background music and the plot that goes on and off one after another, I believe no one can be excited when watching it for the first time!"
Just like "Titanic", it is important to attract as many new audiences as possible for a movie that is so popular, but it is not neglected to let old audiences enter the theater to watch repeatedly.
Warner Bros.'s promotional marketing has not relaxed at all. The Internet naval army is an indispensable publicity link in Hollywood movies today. No one can deny that naval army can sometimes affect the impression of some people.
On Friday night, various scoring data that can be counted were successively passed into Murphy. It is no exaggeration to say that although "Man of Steel" has encountered boycotts from some viewers and bad reviews from ultra-low scores, its overall reputation is still rising, and it is obviously showing a trend of opening high and closing high.
On the imdb website, 18,957 users participated in the rating, with an average score of up to 8.8 points; the freshness of rotten tomatoes that reflect the reputation of professional film critics is as high as 85%, the comprehensive score is 8.2 points, and the popcorn index is 92%. In the statistics of cinemasore on Friday, even though many people gave d-, the audience scores remain high above a+...
Almost all of this indicates that "Man of Steel" will be a box office hit, and at least in North America, which was first released, the box office will not be bad.
This is indeed the case.
Early on Saturday morning, Warner Bros. conveyed the first-day box office statistics of "Man of Steel" to Murphy. The film also opened in 4,250 theaters in North America. According to Hollywood calculation rules, the early box office of $13.8 million last Thursday was counted. "Man of Steel" won a total of $46.2 million from North America on the first day.
This number is significantly different from the box office of "Spider-Man 3" in North America on the first day, but Warner Bros. was extremely excited. With a single day of box office gains, "Man of Steel" almost kept up with the total box office of "Superman Return" on the weekend of "Three Days of the North American box office!
The total box office of North America of $46.2 million can basically guarantee the box office revenue of "Man of Steel" on the opening weekend, and it cannot be lower than the minimum expected of Warner Bros. 100 million US dollars.
In this regard, "Man of Steel" has achieved a considerable proportion of its success.
The reputation of "Man of Steel" and the first-day box office numbers are inevitably taken out by Warner Bros. as a gimmick for publicity and hype. These can indeed attract some passers-by. The outstanding performance of the film has also made DC fanatical fans happy. In recent years, DC Comics has been constantly hit in the field of film adaptation, not only has it lost the absolute dominant area in the comic-adapted film field, but has also been surpassed by its archenemy Marvel Comics.
On the Internet, the amazing fans have many ridiculed DC fans.
This time, DC fans finally showed their excitement. Of course, they would not miss the opportunity to fight back and surprise fans.
"Look at the depth of "Man of Steel" and then look at "Spider-Man 3". Both sides are not at the same height at all. Take the action scenes as an example. In front of Superman and Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, X-Men and Fantastic Four, etc., it is simply a primary school student's appointment!" (To be continued.)
