Routh was fine. You had some people clamoring for Tom fucking Welling.
Yeah, I wouldn't want Routh in the world Snyder & co. are putting together here.
He did a good job wrapping up the Donner/Reeve legacy for me.
He looks fresh out of high school.

I'd laugh my ass off if the trailers have just been super mis-leading about the tone of the film and we really get Cavill announcing 'Up, up and awaaayyyyy!' before his flight in that trailer.
I'm imagining Cavill watching the news and seeing Zod's forces destroy Metropolis.
"Great Krypton."

Sucks that Synder isn't giving us any monthly webisodes showing the production like Singer did. Those videos are still available on iTunes if anyone is interested
Man, those were the days. I loved watching those trickle out. Snyder did some vlogs for Watchmen, right? With the intentional release delays and so forth, maybe blogs for Man of Steel just weren't in the cards... plus, WB probably wants to have a lot of control over the messaging of Man of Steel's marketing.

Taking the trunks away was the first mistake. Two more mistakes and this movie's out!
Perhaps, but I think I'm still on the more reasonable side of the fence pre-release. There are an awful lot of people here lining up to kiss the feet of a director who has never done anything great.
I'd even exchange "great" with "half-decent", but I don't want to go down that path again.
I was pulling my hair the day WB announced Snyder. Since then, there's been pretty much nothing but good news from the movie. The entire cast and crew, the trailers, the look of the movie, etc. Snyder is still worrisome, but both trailers make the film look exceptionally different and superior to his other works.
I'm cautiously optimistic. It's looking good.

I'm looking forward to Solo's concession post almost as much as I am the film itself. In fact, we should campaign to have his name in the title of the OT
Wouldn't be the first time I'd have eaten crow if it turns out good :lol
What the hell I am reading here?
At this point that statement is true of any big summer movie. Though (for me) Man Of Steel is admittedly one of the biggest 'question marks' of the summer at the moment alongside Pacific Rim and Star Trek Into Darkness.
Personally I'm there day one for all three but realistically they could go either way.
True, but this is much less of a sure thing than a number of others. And as 2012 showed, a lot of the "sure things" themselves ended up being anything but. Hard to say what will happen, but fucking no one would have predicted a year ago that Dredd would be the best Hollywood action film released in 2012.

I guess you're not counting John Carter as an action film.
Too true. Man, did Dredd over deliver. I might catch flack for saying it, but Dredd was my 2012 comic book film of the year. Looked like hot garbage initially.
I just dont get the Routh hate
I love him, but I see some people's issues with him. They don't seem big enough to ruin him for me, though.
Dredd >>> John Bomba

The only real worry I have about Man of Steel is the script, since I remember something about them doing rewrites halfway through shooting..

Solo said:
I liked Dawn of the Dead. The rest of his movies have been total garbage IMO.
Goyer & the Nolans are a strong team, and it seems to be taking influence from all the right places in modern Superman lore. It could go wrong, but I'm assuming the rewrites are more for the over-arcing DC Universe/Justice League stuff Warner Brothers really, really wants post-Avengers.
Watchmen is incredible, among the best comic book movies ever IMO.

That would be even worse.
That's nothing. I hear the script for Pacific Rim was constantly being rewritten all the way through production by loads of different writers.
Someone said to be something along the lines of "....., it would be easier to list who didn't work on the Pacific Rim script..........., " which may be how Del Toro works but a little worrisome none the less.
Doubtful. For all we know it could be character work and have nothing to do with the script's FX or set pieces etc.
Robert Downey Jnr is notorious for this and likes to almost rewrite huge chunks of the script as it's in production.
Yeah, I'm not really a fan of meta "this movie is actually just a commercial for another movie" writing. Couldn't stand Iron Man 2, good amounts of Captain America, etc.
That's more likely the case, for sure. Almost all major hollywood films go through small script alterations during production.

A Batman cameo is so fucking guaranteed its not even funny.
That's a bet I'd be interested in taking.

Most rewrites on any big-budget summer blockbuster are likely done because most big-budget summer blockbusters are put into production without a finished script. They get 2 drafts or something pre-production, and then they just rewrite to fit as they shoot.
It used to be a worst-case scenario, and now it's just considered how you make these things.
