Superman III had some good parts to it. Good vs. evil Superman was awesome.... the part where the kid almost gets run over by the tractor in the field was pretty cool..... Richard Pryor was great. Superman IV was just terrible. Christopher Reeve even regretted making that film later.

Superman Hair + Bit of Cloth + human skin = EVIL SUPER VILLAIN.

Cautiously interested in this mainly because of Nolan's involvement. Superman is terribly, terribly boring as a character and Snyder is terribly, terribly gimmicky as a director but I'm hoping Nolan will be able to work some magic on this.

I wouldn't get super excited about Nolan's role as producer. Let's not forget that Steve Spielberg produced the Transformers films.

Didn't Nolan co-write the story?

Yeah Nolan and David S. Goyer who wrote on The Dark Knight Trilogy.

The main reason I'm pumped for a new Superman movie is because that means there's still hope for a good Superman sandbox-type game. The closest we have right now is Lego Batman 2.

I like it. First time I got to see Superman on the big screen. Was a thrilling experience.

Probably.

Returns is easily better than Superman 3 & 4 combined.

There is a non-compliment if I have ever seen one.

Adami · « **Reply #47 on:** July 25, 2012, 12:08:32 PM »

What I find interesting is that even though this and TDK trilogy are written mostly by the same two people, these two stories will not be connected in any way what so ever, despite it being an obviously good move demonstrated by The Avengers.

There were definitely some parts that I enjoyed immensely, but I agree with Ebert's sentiment that it felt like none of the characters enjoyed being themselves. Well, except for Luthor, maybe.

Quote

The newsroom of the Daily Planet, filled with eccentricity and life in the earlier movies, now seems populated by corporate drones. Jimmy Olsen, the copy boy, such a brash kid, seems tamed and clueless. Lois Lane has lost her dash and pizzazz, and her fiance, Richard White, regards her like a deer caught in the headlights. Even the editor, Perry White, comes across less like a curmudgeon, more like an efficient manager.

Quote

When the hero, his alter ego, his girlfriend and the villain all seem to lack any joy in being themselves, why should we feel joy at watching them?

I have never agreed with a movie critic so much.

The new trailers are a bit underwhelming compared to what was shown at comic con, that footage looked awesome, even through a bad cam recording from far away.

I am actually looking forward to this movie very much. I have got a good feeling about it. Never liked the old ones actually because they are very slow and dull and boring, but that's understandable since they are old.

Also, am I the only one who really liked Returns?

Why Yes! You are. ...But that's understandable since they're new.

Weird... I dunno if I was just seeing it because it's Superman but can anyone else make out the "S" symbol during brief spouts of clarity during that static...transmission? Odd way of presenting the whole viral thing...

The Trooper · « **Reply #54 on:** April 13, 2013, 01:16:06 PM »

It started on the website the other day. Rumor has it the final transmission will become clear/happen Monday at 8:00 pm EST.

Check out Elysium website for the movie. I just looked and it seems pretty interactive

They're giving away too much plot. Looks like we know why Supe's in cuffs now. Apparently he wants to turn himself in to save Earth, but obviously something goes awry, and he saves Earth anyway.

Supes cut Lois off with an "excuse me" before Lois could get the word "Superman" out of her mouth. I kind of hope they're not going to avoid call him "Superman" the whole movie. Makes me wonder if like ditching the red undies, they think it's too dated or something.

I'm guessing he won't be officially named 'Superman' until the end of the film, or somewhere close to it. Like it'll probably end with Clark joining the Daily Planet and Lois publishing a big article where she debuts the name 'Superman'.

BlackInk · « **Reply #66 on:** April 17, 2013, 11:15:26 PM »

I don't think that's how that scene will play out. If you look at the editing in that part of the trailer it is abit messy. It could be that she is actually cut off there but the dialogue is at least very edited in the trailer.

Accelerando · « **Reply #67 on:** April 21, 2013, 05:43:16 PM »

One of the things I noticed about any lick of preview for this film, and one that I find interesting, is the absence of Clark Kent the Reporter. I'm not complaining, just making an observation!

Cool Chris · « **Reply #68 on:** April 21, 2013, 06:16:07 PM »

I've noticed that too. And I think Superman as Clark Kent is bigger factor than some realize. And shows who brilliant Christopher Reeve was in the role. If we don't buy in to Superman playing the part of Clark Kent, I think the story falls apart. It was why 'Superman Returns' didn't work for me (though not the only reason).

Fiery Winds · « **Reply #69 on:** April 21, 2013, 11:20:36 PM »

After that last trailer, I'm more excited. I think Snyder's style can do justice (giggle) to the speed and power that was illustrated in the comic books.

Nice catch on the reporter angle, and I hope they're just holding it back for the main film.
