http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/sco...-action-and-superman-kicking-all-kinds-of-ass

- Imagine a Nolan story with Snyder effects/action
- There’s TONS of action with Superman kicking all kinds of ass in his suit.
- The cape is CG’d most of the time so it can look awesome.
- They have intentionally left out most of the the Super action in trailers to save it.
- It’s not nearly as dour and serious as the trailers suggest.
- The movie is complete, minus the 3D post-conversion, which is currently taking place

bolded my favorites

buzz word that seems to be thrown around is "action-packed" and honestly that is exactly what I wanted.

Superman never really got to punch the shit out of someone on film and that's all I want out of this movie.

I have high hopes.

That said, I had high hopes for amazing Spider-Man and while I really liked it, it's hard to recommend to most people.

This movie will kick all kinds of ass!!

If they put a scene in where Zod or Superman gets punched through a building this will be my favorite superhero movie ever!!
 
Snyder saves us from the shackles of the Donnor-verse.

I demand a slow motion scene of Superman punching someone through a skyscraper.

Very encouraging. I still wish they would make this as bright and fun as The Avengers, but comments like this give me hope that this will be good.

You merely adopted the Sun
I was born in it
Molded by it
I didn't see the Dark Knight till I was already a man
and by then it was nothing to me but SHIT

my only fear I have for the movie is zack loves his slow motion. Id hate to have the movie come to a crawl because he has to show every little thing in slow mo.

Remember, early impressions of TDK Rises were very positive too. Keep that in mind before hoping on the hype train.

If every scene from the trailers is connected by Kim Kardashian rapping loudly into a megaphone, it will still be better than returns. So in that regard it is already a success.

Imagine a Nolan story

Or walking through a collapsing skyscraper like it ain't no thing, a-la fist of the North Star. Actually, fighting Hokuto no ken would be ok too. I don't give a shit. Superman is not about plot, it is about spectacle. I accept that he is 'boring' so just make him do stuff that's exciting.
 
OK, I'm cranky old guy. But I'm fucking tired of super-hero movies. As that thread on space movies showed, there are actually not that many great space movies. Can't someone make a great space movie instead of yet more me-too super-hero dreck? FFS.

He'll leave his cape behind for a Jane Blake to find. An awkward scene toward the end will reveal Jane's friends call her "Supergirl."

It's gonna be amazing.

Positive buzz for upcoming WB tentpole from WB exclusive studio screening. More news as it comes.

I intentionally left out the "best movie of the year" bit because of this

I mean im not making the thread for the possitive buzz, im making it for the details

it's one thing to call the movie great but it's another to say that it is action packed and lighthearted just to outright lie
