Looks gorgeous but looks boring.

Looks like Superman Returns, actually.

jett eviscerated

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Clique gotta stay strong, right?

I'm actually an ardent defender of Snyder and have been pimping this film for ages, but the trailer didn't do shit for me.

 

[JB1981]

It looks beautifully shot. Rather odd and distracting choice of music for the first half of the trailer though. That music is so instantly recognize as the soundtrack for Gladiator that it completely throws you. At least it looks like it will have a fair amount of emotion, which is more than I can say for most superhero movies. It definitely seems to have Nolan's touch on it.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I hope it's not as deadly serious as it appears in the trailers. Didn't they learn from SR that a Superman movie that isn't funny and at least a little lighthearted is just a bore?

They Batman'd Superman.

Touched by the Hand of Nolan.

If you want "woe is me" Superman, this is what you're gonna get.

 

[duckroll]

We already have that in the Avengers.

And we already had this with Nolan's Batman movies. We can have more than one type of anything, as long as it fits with the character's tone. I just don't think it would work here. I would much rather have an Avengers style Superman. Give me Brainiac and Lex Luthor plotting the destruction of Metropolis, and Superman kicking all their asses. Give me humor, Jimmy Olson, cheesy stuff with Lois Lane, and bright high contrast blue and red streaking across a brightly lid daytime skyline.

 

[Log4Girlz]

I really don't like the tone they're going for here. It looks bleak and grim, trying so hard to be more "realistic", but this is fucking Superman. I feel this is part of what really made Superman Returns suffer too - trying too hard to try and make sense of how Superman could fit into the world today. I don't think they need to do that. Just make a big fun colorful movie about an invincible alien who comes to Earth, grows up, and does things we cannot do, making the world a safer place.

You would struggle to understand where you fit in too, if you were an ultra handsome, nigh invincible super being.

 

[ultron87]

I like it. I just hope that the ratio of kid Clark/bearded Clark to Superman is less than it has been in the trailers so far.

 

[3N16MA]

Music sounded like something from Gladiator.

Meanwhile I know what's up. Snyder has always sucked.

 

[strafer]

Time to watch it again.

I need the score too.

 

[ReiGun]

Watched it on my phone.

So...good....

 

[Eidan]

It's a fine trailer. Didn't really move me, but I think it's because it hits a lot of the same notes the Superman Returns and comic-con trailer did. I just need to see the movie at this point.

I doubt it. I bet Superman is in this movie for more than 30 minutes.

I think there's room for the moral obligation that comes from having this kind of power. It was touched on a little with Clark saving the kids in the bus. Might be nice to see this kind of theme in a movie that isn't Spiderman.

 

[Oppo]

I love love love it.

Someone please GIF the "fist moment." so good.

 

[Tr4nce]

Ok.

Superman is my least favorite hero of them all. But this trailer. Damn this trailer! It feels so different than other Superman movies. A lot more serious and darker in tone or something. I'm starting to think this film will be actually good. That trailer was really nice.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Trailer would be 100% better with Journey To The Line.

100%

 

[Ridley327]

I doubt it. I bet Superman is in this movie for more than 30 minutes.

[polyh3dron]

Urgh, it looks so serious and humourless. Superman should be about fun like the original movies. I think I'll pass on this.

Yeah and why can't they make the new James Bond movies more like the good old Roger Moore ones?

That was when Bond was best.

 

[KeeSomething]

Superman would've looked way better if they had kept the beard, but I guess that's never gonna happen.

damn, the rocks rising as he's getting ready to lift off... fucking hype

i agree. its hard to take superman seriously and realistically with his costume and his abilities. they should have made it like a live action "the incredibles" with the avengers scope or something. that would have rocked.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Watched it in mute while huming the original Superman theme.

 

[jett]

jett eviscerated

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[duckroll]

Music sounded like something from Gladiator.

One of his dads is Maximus. Lol.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

They Batman'd Superman.

If they do go and make this all super serious and brooding and it winds up being a huge success, it will just reinforce the studios thinking that all super hero movies need to be that way.
Of course, Avengers showed you can have a wildly successful super hero movie without bogging it down with doom and gloom.

Then WB will make their Justice League movie, and it will be the entire team sulking and questioning their role in the universe with half the movie draped in shadows. Then they get their team up movie and their brooding.

 

[dabig2]

Looks good, but I was afraid the movie was going to take itself waaaaaay too seriously and the trailer confirms it.

 

[Darth Pinche]

For a second, I thought that was Pam from The Office.

 

[Solo]

:lol

 

[Edmond Dantès]

I liked the music.

Lisa Gerrard at her finest.

Elegy for anyone wondering.

From:

 

[Expendable.]

Looks good. I like how Michael Shannon isn't the only thing from Take Shelter in the trailer.

 

[JB1981]

I doubt it. I bet Superman is in this movie for more than 30 minutes.

Obviously I am talking about tone and style, i.e. dramatic "realism." The comic-con trailer donged on this. The movie already takes a giant shit, visually, on anything Singer did in Returns.

 

[Dany]

OMG that was my town

 

[KeeSomething]

Yeah and why can't they make the new James Bond movies more like the good old Roger Moore ones?

That was when Bond was best.

James Bond is completely different than Superman. How can you possibly compare them?

Anyway, I don't mind the tone of the trailer.

 

[RSTEIN]

Everything was great, but I have to admit, the line at the end seemed very out of place - it would have been better without it

I like the line, just not delivered right for this trailer. He said it way too fast.

 

[volpone]

Poor musical choice. Would've gone great with Journey to the Line.

Journey to the Line is the fucking shit. I'm pretty sure Zimmer's enitre career is haunted by the greatness of that track and he doesn't mind one bit.

 

[Blader]

Looks alright to me.

 

[Dead]

Yep, that's a Zack Snyder movie

 

[Liquidsnake]

Touched by the Hand of Nolan.

If you want "woe is me" Superman, this is what you're gonna get.

Its like all my dreams have come true.

There is a god.

 

[spidye]

I love the look of the movie so much.
the colours, the sun and everything else. that's the one thing snyder does always right

 

[demosthenes]

I liked it. Cautiously optimistic.

 

[Nesotenso]

Yeah, this felt more like a teaser than an actual trailer.

What was the first trailer then ?

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

NIIIIIIICE.

But did they have to tease the goddamn costume so much? Not a single clear shot.

 

[neojubei]

Watched it on my phone.

So...good....

Me too. So good

 

[strafer]

do you people even enjoy movies anymore?

jesus

 

[polyh3dron]

Yep, that's a Zack Snyder movie

I know seriously I mean look, he's flying and shit and making rocks move.

typical snyder wankery.

 

[RichardAM]

Trailer sold me.

Interest went from 0 to 10 after seeing this.

 

[Eidan]

Doom and gloom? Were we watching the same trailer?

 

[raphier]

Yeah, Dislike. in my opinion Superman shouldn't be gritty, emotional and sad. It should be colorful (Avengers) with massive earth-shattering destruction, because let's face it Superman has always been about DBZ style battles rather than drama.
