i like almost every snyder film, except 300 (yes, i like sucker punch and the owl movie).
i have high hopes for this one. but even if the film is going to suck, it cant be worse than returns.
 
Please be good, please be good, please be good.

I just want 1 good Superman movie, is that too much to ask. (and before anyone says anything no I don't like the Donnor films.)
 
The first hour of Donner Superman is absolutely majestic. Brando as Jor-El is the fucking bomb and I don't care if he did want to play it as a floating bagel or talking suitcase

Crazy. Donnor's (one and a half) Superman films are pretty damn great, not just as superhero movies, but as films in general, which is the highest praise I can give to a film of that genre.

What didn't you like about them?
 
If they by some reason don't use a sample from the new score I hope by the gods they use Journey to the line, it worked perfectly with the Comic Con trailer.
 
Saw the new trailer at work before the Hobbit midnight show. It's pretty cool! I would say the trailer is more in the vain of the Kevin Costner teaser.
There did seem to be a new score.

Dat Comic con trailer made me hunt down that track.

It was the next best thing to the Superman Theme and fit the trailer PERRRRFECTLY


This new trailer has a lot to live up to
 
You're a bad person and should feel bad

It feels pretty good to be bad some times.

Not even a little? Too campy?

I didn't like it at all, for a lot of reasons. Who ever cast Margo Kitter should have been fired and never allowed to work in Hollywood again. She's just really bad, and annoying. Reeves for me just never looked the part. Specially in the first movie he always felt too skinny to me, as did Routh in Returns. I don't like that version of Lex (I know it was Lex at the time) just not interesting. I don't like the crystals, and their look for everything Kryptonian. I know the comics keep going back to this, but I don't like it. I get why they did it for this movie, and all that, I'm just not a fan of the design choice. Superman causing the Earth to spin backwards to reverse time, just no. That leads me to a HUGE problem I have with Superman stories in general, stop fucking inventing new powers for him! *edit* there were more reasons, but it's been a long time since I watched the movie(s) so they're not all at the top of my head right now.

I will say the Score for the movie was awesome though.

I love the character, and I think his surrounding cast, and him can be amazing when handled right. The problem is most writers don't understand the character(s), their relationships, and when they get caught in a writing jam they just invent some new power mcguffen for him to solve the day. It drives me crazy. I started reading comics in the mid 80's and Superman is one of the few characters that I've read almost consistently since then.
 
Supes going back in time to save Lois by spinning around the Earth. Only problem is that Jimmy met Supes like before in the previous timeline... Which doesn't make sense.

Best explained here: *SPOILERS*

If the rules of causality cannot be violated then Superman didn't just travel back in time, he tunneled through to an alternate reality, an adjacent universe where almost everything was identical. Except Jimmy. He didn't violate causality because in that universe, he showed up before those events happened and prevented them. So there would still be oddities and Superman would know it wasn't the real Lois, but better than none. Hence his rage and tears even as he reaches the speeds he needs to.


Bam.

lol That's a good explanation.

now explain the plotholes in halo 4.





;)
 
The whole aspect of superman is hokey for me, and we watched Christopher Reeves movies just for shits and giggles. Superman Returns was the biggest pile of dogshit I've seen.

Only reason why I'm barely interested in this is because of Nolan's involvement and my man Russell Crowe. The teaser looked OK.
 
Reeves for me just never looked the part.

No... Just, no.

He didn't do that. He flew fast enough to travel backwards in time, thats why the Earth looks like its rotating backwards
