I'm sorry, but I thought the trailer looked excellent. I'm not a huge fan of superhero films and this one never really seemed interesting before, but after that trailer, it certainly looks like a great popcorn flick with some nice doses of humor.
Of course I won't pay to see it. ;\
But then again, the last film I chose to pay to see in theaters was Coffee and Cigarettes two years ago.

Pretty much my view. I actually love Spacey's Luthor, but that's about it; everything else just rubs me the wrong way.Solo said:

Blind? Why? They never hinted in Superman II that they wear going down that road, and pardon me for putting my faith into an Oscar nominated director not to go down that road as well. It doesn't seem that blind to me, especially when the opposite direction is much more fresh and allows for real human drama in Superman's God-like existence, whereas now we've devolved into some hokey, cheesy writing. I mean
Superboy beating up Lex's henchmen with a piano?
Why don't we bring out Krypto while we're at it. Gag me.

That, is why you fail.
uumm.. they had sex in the fortress of solitude.. not like there's a qwikie mart right down the street to pick up some condoms.. maybe lois brought some with her in hopes that supes would become normal so she could get it on with him...Willco said:
The golden age says fuck you. leave krypto out of this :lol

Several things. Superman was human when they had sex, and when did they ever even HINT at Lois
carrying Supes' child
Having a
Superboy beating up henchmen with a piano in a big unveil is worse or better
I have to say, DC superhero trailers kick so much ass. I was wavering about Brandon Routh but excited about Kevin Spacey then the first trailer hit and I saw it in the theaters and with Superman godlike hovering over the Earth and I totally geeked out. I was wavering with what Moriarty said because my opinions on movies are usually right in line with his but I have to say I got more faith then him on this one. I hate to see them reuse a plot device but i'm not as jaded on them going with that other major spoiler thing that people already know about.
Trailer is Fuckton awesome. I give it a A+

Alright, I hope Superman Returns does good so we can see
SUPERGIRL RETURNS
SUPERGIRL RETURNS
I definitly agree that its insanely cheesy, but hopefully they'll find a way to make it ... well ... interesting i suppose. I mean I first drew the connection when in Superman II
once Lois discovered that Clark was Superman they had Super sex. Singer and the rest of the crew have always said that Superman Returns follows S1 completely and only parts of S2, and none of S3 OR S4. Ever since I saw that kid and read those interviews its been pretty obvious... least to me it was. And since it seems the story is on the cliche bandwagon it seemed way too obvious to me that the writers would never go as far as letting Lois Lane have a kid with another guy, the comic book guys would start a riot. Thats like Mary Jane having a kid with another guy, same thing.
The scene where Superman lands really quickly with bent knees looked weird to me. That and the badly done gatling gun sequence looks totally odd.
Other than that, the human interest stuff (Lois with a kid, etc..etc) doesn't seem all that interesting. The plane sequence looks pretty cool though.

maybe he wasn't really human, and he just had his powers removed, like flipping a switch where the yellow sun would affect him now the same way the red sun would normally affect him. I don't know.. but as long as the story is decent I'm certainly not going to sweat the details because it doesn't exist in any continuities.. again I haven't read the script, so I'll have to wait til 6/30 to know for sure.Willco said:
eh.. really I just don't have a big problem with it. to me movies have never been canon anyway.. more or less just elseworlds.. some are rather faithful elseworlds, some are insanely deviating elseworlds.. much like Batman in victorian england..
sometimes the comics' purists deserve to be alienated.. besides.. you need to get the mainstream into the movie.. superman sells like 40-50K per month.. who do you care about more, the 40-50K who will CONTINUE to buy superman comics or the millions and millions who DON'T by superman comics.Willco said:
I have no problems with the film deviating from the source material, I have a problem the following:
a) BAD WRITING
b) DESTROYING THE CHARACTER
Also, if this is all true, how many sequels are we removed from getting
Seriously, Singer... WHY?
a) BAD WRITING
b) DESTROYING THE CHARACTER
Also, if this is all true, how many sequels are we removed from getting
Superman and Superboy team up as dynamic father and son duo to tackle Lobo and other generic supervillains!
Seriously, Singer... WHY?
oh, bad writing definitely sucks.. that remains to be seen. maybe it will be, maybe it won't, but I'm not going to worry about what moriarty says. I'll make up my own mind.Willco said:
as for destroying the character, I don't see it that way at all.. the spoiler happens in various continuities in one form or another, why not this one? as long as the story is solid I don't see how it could "destroy the character"
and if we get what you hypothesize, then yes we got fucked.. but I just don't see it.. at least not with singer aboard..
Willco said:
meh, I think you're a little to worked up about it. My friends can't stand me when a comic book movie comes out and I start nitpicking but this isn't really a big deal. Now if the
super kid starts flying around and beating up the bad guys and saves the day that will be incredibly stupid and just cheesy. It's not like Superman hasn't had a kid before in other elseworlds tales like DKR2 and got Wonder Woman knocked up in Kingdom Come. And I don't consider the movies comic book canon, just nice if they stick to the more basic and true mythos of Supermans abilities, origins and loose on the villains but as close as possible.
Well, at this point, Moriarty says in a big unveil that we learn
... Really. There better have been some on set re-writes. This movie went immediately from MUST SEE to GAME TIME DECISION in a matter of hours.
it's Supes' kid because he saves the day by lifting a grand piano and beating up one of Lex's henchmen with it.

Actually, one of the #1 story suggestions for the One Year Later Superman storyline in the comic was to
.
Also, Mcweeeeeeeny's "review" is crap because he bashes the Donner movies in it. If he hates the Donner movies so much, it's no wonder he doesn't like Returns.
give him a kid

I haven't read Supes in a long, long time, but I'm assuming this is some kind of future or Elsewords story? Which would be a lot different than Superman right now in celluoid form. Also, there's a huge difference from
Superman having a baby and Superman dealing with a 6-year-old super powered brat

For some reason, the trailer makes me yearn for a DBZ movie. The campiness, the scope of the battle scenes, the talk of uber-powerful
, I'd definitely put this aside for a decent DBZ adaptation.

There was and I'm wondering how old the script is that Moriarty has because he mentions only
2 action sequences
the mini-gun/bank robbery along with those reported from the ShoWest trailer and promotional stills including Luthor's assault on Metropolis, Missile Attack, The Daily Planet rescue, 777 Rescue, Whatever goes down on New Krypton and the finale.

Fuck you guys a jaded. I don't think anything can impress GAF these days. That trailer was fucking awesome.

Doesn't pay his sources
I love quicktime alternative and apple offering hd versions that go perfectly well with my 1920 x 1200 resolution. Using directshow filters that make it smoother is also awesome.
As for the trailer, I don't know how it's going to be, but I'm going to go watch it.

Don't like Lois. Spacey's good. Routh works it seems, though I gotta see how well he carries the entire film before the nod. One thing I fear though is too much a familiarity to Spider-man - the old lady with the moral message and the heavy newspaper and photography business seem like elements needlessly put in to make it closer to Spider-man. I realize it fits in Superman's world as well, but I'd prefer they used that time for something more original and unique to the Superman universe.

The trailer was alright. Somewhat of a letdown after the teaser, which was fucking amazing.
yeah. spacey = dr. evil. not lex.
I dunno. I've never been that impressed with Singer's work so it's not like I'm very crestfallen with the idea that this could suck. I'll still see it, naturally, but I'm not expecting it to be as good as Spiderman 2 or Batmang Begins.
