Personally, I'm kind of glad we know so little.

the entire plot of Iron Man 3 has been spoiled by just about every trailer and ad posted over the past month. I mean, the final act is spelled out to you in the full length trailers a few times.


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.

Agreed.

A part of me wants that, but the Superman fanboy part of my brain can't wait like you.
 
You lack discipline! You are only robbing yourself in the end.

Discipline? lol Ive been waiting for a great Superman film for 7 years now (not counting the first two Reeve films)

It's getting harder to wait. June feels so far way.
 
Cavill's line readings in the new tv spot were complete shit

Ummm wut? First line was a little longer and was totally fine and the second was the same from the 2nd trailer. The pacing/editing with the music in tv spot was super fast though. Then again "I am full of shit. Rich, smooth, creamy shit." explains everything :P jk

"Bro, you're talking to a Cameron fan. A seven year wait sounds delightful. "

Touche.
 
What are people hearing that is so awful with the line reading? This is actually the first Ive heard anyone complain about his voice/line reading. Heck it's basically the same two lines we have already heard.

People dealt with Bale Batman voice and lisp and Cavill sounds no wear near as bad as that.

Considering the emotional context of the scene, I think the delivery sounds great. He's just begun, in that instant, to figure what & who he is. He's being handed everything he's ever wanted to know.
 
Hang in there. There's going to be a new trailer within a week or two.

I know, I'm hoping the 15th or 16th rumor is true.

Same, plus the look on his face. That helps sell it for me just as much as his delivery.

I guess people thrive on hyperbole. There was nothing terrible about his reading.
 
My biggest problem is that the trailer doesn't do a great job of explaining the logistics of how he can just launch into the air like that. It comes out of nowhere. What are we supposed to believe, that this is some sort of super-man?

This... "super" man is nothing of the kind.

Seriously and at this point with all the actors who have portrayed Superheroes on film, Cavill sounds just fine and even with a couple of lines is better than most of them. I will have no problem admitting that Cavills stinks if I hear something in a longer trailer or if he shits the bed in the movie, but I don't hear it at all in these two lines. Hell no one complained about Routh's line readings in the trailers and he had some bad ones.

haha
 
Wait... people complaing about Shannons performance in Premium Rush? Bitches please, he knew exactly what kind of movie he was in and delivered the perfect amount of camp to the role.
 
I guess I should feel lucky not having seen that trailer before now. Lovely!

...Annnnnd TV spot's job done! Welcome aboard.

I'm hoping WB acknowledge the 75th anniversary next week and release the new trailer next Thursday but we'll see. At the very least we'll get some reports out of CinemaCon next Tuesday on what was screened.

There are some rumblings that something might be released or posted tomorrow....
 
While it is of course still early apparently Man Of Steel is now considered the film to beat this summer at the box office.

...., I've heard many 'internal' tracking services apparently have Man Of Steel way ahead of everyone else at this juncture in terms of awareness and social media activity etc.

I hope this becomes true and we get at least a Trilogy!
 
You guys seem defensive. The pacing of his lane is way off, just doesn't sound right. Especially the "what do you think". I'm willing to blame it on the editing for the trailer though. The same problem is evident in the Iron Man trailers where tony says "protect the one thing I care most about". The pacing is weird and doesn't have the right emotional weight IMO. But like I said, it's most likely the editing for the trailer.


His campiness was one of the worst things about the movie IMO, and that's saying a lot.
 
I'm hoping Cavill's good in this, because I've never been impressed with any of his performances prior. He's a sucky actor, probably the reason he was second choice for all the big hitters.

He was not a sucky actor on the Tutors :\ Actually he was first choice in the next Superman movie that was gonna me made before Singer took over. Also all the actors sucked ass in his two other movies Immortals and Cold Light of Day and those movies have good actors in them.

He's a much better actor than Brandon Routh who was only cast cause he sorta looked like Reeve, he's older than Cavill, and Singer wanted to bed him hah

What heavy hitters besides Bond?

Ashhong, I agree with the "what do you think" in tv spot. They sped up the line or edited it oddly, it sounds different to me than in the long trailer.

That's some real rational thinking you've got there, Matrix.
 
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 actually like that. I hope they don't even call him "Superman" in the film, until maybe the end or something. I liked how in TDKR they never once referred to Selina Kyle as "Catwoman". There was no need to.

It was a joke hence the hah

Man my hate may be strong for Returns, but your love is just as bad. I can't even kid around.

edit- but I'm not about to get into a Returns fight with you again. You love it, I hate it... the end.

Has he really ever been given great material? I've never seen The Tudors so I can't really comment on that. The script for The Immortals was fucking terrible.

It was more that you made a gay joke. C'mon now.

Come on now yourself. I have no problems with gay people, I have plenty of gay friends. Don't try to turn a harmless little joke about the Singer/Routh connection and blow it up into anything else. You take everything so seriously, feels like back seat modding.

Even if Singer wasn't gay I would have written that.

I doubt that considerably.

It was just a cheap joke, nothing more, nothing less, but you can't help but get a real eye-roll when you type something like that in 2013. I also don't feel like a back-seat modder, but if my posts get you to continually edit like you just did then I guess I'm getting some reaction out of you (=

It was pretty cruddy, yeah, but Cavill still emoted conviction and loss well enough in Immortals. I watched it on Netflix last summer when cleaning out my old house to size him up acting-wise, but I need to watch The Tudors.

I seriously don't have time for this odd argument and I don't really need to explain my actions to you anymore. If I upset any gay GAF superman fans/ or non fans they can let me know in private. I think my post history and people here know I'm cool with everyone since Ive been posting here for over a decade.

You could simply put me on ignore KalBalboa since basically you only start shit with me when I start talking about Returns... jokes or not. Of course you will deny you ever do anything wrong or annoying in here, but whatever.

Matrix, you're not the only only one to consider Singer's actions, myself included. I've thought the same thing.
