Speaking of which, what does GAF use for gifs?
Sunhi.
Niche - in that Sculli is the only one who is a fan of it. Everyone else knows it stinks.
The sequence is indeed well executed - like I said above.
But it also rings hollow and ultimately meaningless as Blader put it. Feels like Singer was showing off he could pull off a cool set peice just for the sake of it!
In comparison, the scene where magneto escapes from his plastic prison in X2 is a far more well conceived, legitimately cool and far more memorable sequence without any explosions going on.

My solution was to import Quicktime files into Imageready. Later versions of PS have it built-in, but I couldn't figure it out.

I agree with your characterization of the plane scene. Cool, but completely unnecessary and pointless. Magneto breaking out of the prison was definitely a far better introduction, despite (or maybe because of) its simplicity.

Big fun movies turn out to be shit. GL, IM2, Captain American, Hulk, Etc. If anything GL ruined any chance for a lighter kid friendly WB super hero movie for a long time.
So if i had to pick between an Avengers or Dark knight approach i would personally want to try out the Dark Knight first. SR was a bomb for WB and to the fans. Let's try something different i say.
Genius, please have him rip his fake beard and open his shirt revealing the "S" at the same time... In slow motion

It looks like star trek to me. Even the lens flare

I always thought it'd be cool if Lex got his own tie-in movie, with him as a deeply flawed protagonist. Inspired by one of my favorite comics of all time...
Then in a Superman sequel he appears as the villain, and his reasons for doing what he does have been fully fleshed out.

Truly a fascinating show.

Hank Henshaw would actually be a pretty cool choice, but I get the feeling the people making these movies have no idea who Hank Henshaw even is.
I blame J.J.Abrams for shining light into his anamorphic lenses...if shot on film.
OR Andrew Kramer and Optical flares plug-ins for After Effects for digital.

It was cool.
The shitting on Singer has reached astronomical heights, I'd make gifs of the awesome moments in Returns but am too lazy so here's screenshots. Movie looks AMAZING, Snyder has his work cut out when it comes to that.
I'm looking forward to Snyder's eye candy but give credit where credit is due.

I wish they would have waxed his chest or something. That chest hair coming out from the collar of the costume is a bit distracting.
The movie clearly has some promising fundamentals. Casting seems good, the suit looks great (IMO), no trademark Snyder stupidity, and they seem to be avoiding the pitfall of an overbearing or underboiled Daily Planet aspect. These are all very big pluses in my book.
That being said, there's nothing of genuine interest on display in this trailer (the only part I sort of liked was the antarctic takeoff). This isn't a big problem considering this is still mostly a teaser, but I can't fully hop aboard the hype train yet.

I don't know what movie was worse. Spider-Man 3 or Superman Returns both movies took a #2 on America's most beloved super heroes

It's to compensate for the loss of his epic beard.

Makes up for Bond manscaping.
Spiderman 3 is at least entertaining for emo parker & lolpher grace.
SR is just plain boring. I'd watch spiderman 3 over SR any day of the week!

Looks so fucking gooood.
Man Of Steel already looks better.
People are really overestimating the quality of the photography in Returns. If there is an area where Snyder decidedly trumps Singer is visuals. Re-watch the MOS teaser to remind yourself how beautiful this movie is going to be.

The way the camera moves and use of the lens is almost Malick-like. I'm sorry but Returns really has nothing.

Mine did.
I fucking love everything about Superman. My entire home office is stocked with Supes memorabilia.
Seriously. I don't know what people are looking at that makes them believe this movie won't be able to measure up to Returns visually.
I was eating dinner when I watched it and I choked on some cauliflower. So yes.

The imagery looks amazing but I expected that from Snyder. I am liking the snippits of dialogue so far. Kevin Costner saying "...maybe" got me excited for the kind of angle they are going to take with the film. Pretty great trailer.
You know what my favorite scene in Returns is. The shot of people in downtown Metropolis where the camera pans overhead to Superman just slowly making his way over the city. I loved that so much.

Yea, that Costner line was interesting. Makes him feel much more multidimensional.

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
Never forget that time Singer said in retrospect he was making Superman Returns for the Devil Wears Prada crowd.
Man, fuck that guy. Never gonna get me to believe a studio woulda greenlit that pitch, lol.
