Peter Jackson probably had more to say about Hobbit CGI than WETA.

Wong thread.
Count me as one of the people who doesn't get this post. Hancock 2?

Yep, along with Double Negative, MPC etc. Considering MOS was scheduled to release in December 2012 but pushed back to this June they've had plenty of time in post for the FX work and some of the artists commented this helped a great deal as the studio pretty much left them alone and had a better pipeline to work with.
Eh..I always took the "realism" quote as not a way to explain or ground Superman's powers but putting the fantastical in every day life, like say opening your door tomorrow morning and seeing a red and blue clad alien soaring through the sky....how exactly would you react?
I guess kind of how the book Superman: Secret Identity approach was.

Secret Identity is a good template for a realistic take on Superman this movie is sounds like a mix between that and Birthright. Honestly I'm not worried about this movie anymore I'm convinced its going to be at least a good movie.
That seems like selective criticism, given everything else the creators of the film have said in the past month. The effects, even in the early trailers, don't exactly look cheap, boring, or silly like Hancock (still confused by the comparison).
Also, rereading your previous post ("powers, if he even has them") makes me wonder: have you even watched the trailers? There's a man flying above Earth, covered in flames without even blinking, and planets being destroyed. Seems pretty fantastic.

The pertinent quote:
The fact he's using pedal steel guitars and loud drums? Maybe my wish for something that was closer to Explosions in the Sky than anything else will come true!
Weta didn't do the majority of the CGI on District 9. Only concept design and Physical props.

Yeah, I think the only bit of on-screen effects work Weta did in District 9 were the shots of the mothership? I remember there being a breakdown online awhile ago, but while WETA designed the aliens and some other aspects of the show, Image Engine actually did most of the effects work, with Zoic helping out too.
I think the Hancock comparison is pretty obvious...Hancock is a "realistic" superhero movie. A seemingly normal person struggling with super powers. It's stupid to assume MoS will be similar though.

The motto for "Superman: The Movie" was "Verisimilitude."
... Yeah, comparisons to that movie are poorly-attempted pejoratives.
That it was. Donner pulled it off in spades, too. You can have a forward-thinking, good-guy Superman with amazing abilities in a realistic world. In fact, that's easily the best way to go about it.

Or it could just mean more modern Zimmer LOUD DRUMS, but I hope you're right.

Man, you know me - you know my McCreary love. If he comes up with a score that blends Loud Drums with Explosions in the Sky? I'm pretty much ENGINEERED to fall in love with that.

I am personally not too fond of the drums. I think Zimmer's Batman score was for the worse because of the constant loud music. I was hoping we'd get something more along the lines of the thin red line. Heck, why just use that score again. I'd be perfectly happy with that.
Batman Begins' soundtrack was great and I wish JNH got another go at the batman films. But who knows, this might turn out to be all kinds of great.

Oh that's the guy playing zod? I hated his acting so much in Premium Rush..
... is that all you've seen him in?
He is a fantastic character actor. Boardwalk Empire, Revolutionary Road, and Take Shelter. He is truly great.

"He is a fantastic character actor. Boardwalk Empire, Revolutionary Road, and Take Shelter. He is truly great. "
100% truth
Maybe. I've probably seen him in other roles but I didn't actually know who he was
Why was he so bad in premium rush

people actually watched that poop?
76% on rotten tomatoes!
So because the premise of a movie is bad, the actor has an excuse to put in a poor performance. Got it.
Lighten up =D
I'm not familiar with his acting so I just thought he was a bad actor lol. I'll take your guys word for it
Not sure if it's been posted or not, but the first Man of Steel TV spot was posted on the official FB page a few minutes ago:
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10102200268840426
While I like it, it almost seems like they're trying to hide that it's actually Superman. No real establishing shot of him other than the quick glimpse above the Earth, no shield at the end like the other promotional material, etc. But some great visuals nonetheless.

You kidding right? Dude in blue, red cape, symbol, clark kent, flyin.
Nobody is gonna be like "what the hell? who is this guy? new super hero?"
I'm not saying people are going to be confused. I'm just saying it seems that the TV spot doesn't really go out of its way to show this is a Superman film, for whatever reason. Either way, it's just one of many and there will be more that really hammer the Superman motif in. I just hope we don't have any promotional material with god awful pop music like Superman Returns.

I'd be happy if they didn't put out any new footage. Let me see the other stuff in the movie. You already have my money.
