I think Brainiac is cursed when it comes to Superman movies. Every time he’s looked at as a villain, the movie gets canceled.
Wow I am definately purchasing this set, release date in UK is April 22nd.
WHAT?? No 3hr extended TV cut included here??? I'll wait for it....
But then there’s the REALLY long winded stuff like the 30 minutes spent on following Otis and the detectives at Grand Central. I THINK that was perfectly cut in the theatrical.
LOL, well, it wasn't really 30 minutes, but I get your point. Yeah, I think he was planning to grab onto the missile instantly matching its speed then take it up. Tricky though, an impact might have triggered it. Plus, there is a speed limit for him in the atmosphere... too fast & he could ignite it.
Now I want to see it again.
It's THREE hours long. Have lots of popcorn ready.
On this day, 85 years ago, Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1!
And some more great news!
Some of my hopes for the movie:
A lighter tone, but not MCU goofy.
Moving ahead from Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve a bit, but not completely ignoring their movie(s). Zack Snyder should NOT be involved.
More than one villain that we’ve never had cinematically before: Brainiac, Parasite, Toyman seem like characters James Gunn would use in his style.
No Lex or Zod or Batman! They’ve been done way too much.
Don’t kill off characters just for shock value.
Supergirl and the supporting cast get time to shine.
Use graphic novels as a influence. Geoff Johns and Mark Waid would great starting points.
This needs adding to the Superman Returns movie.
Chills, Christopher Reeve is Superman.
My favorite Superman movie scene.
Yes, it does!
I watched Superman Returns in the cinema this scene would have been incredible to open the film. The opening scene we got was just weird and awful.
Just don't kill him off for shock value like Zack Snyder did.
Wow they have managed to make Superman IV even worse.
This is why I try to stick with the original sound mixes. Dolby Atmos didn’t exist when the Reeve films were produced, so it makes no sense to try to upgrade them.
The original mixes are still on the discs if you don't choose Atmos.
When I play my Bond blu-rays, I always set the older films to their mono and stereo surround mixes. I never like it when studios tinker with the sound mixes just because there’s consumers that want to utilize every speaker in their sound system. I’m always thankful when studios give that option of having the original mixes.
But it can also depend on how remasters are done. As far as I know, the Star Trek TOS movie blu-rays have 7.1 surround mixes, which didn’t exist back in the 80s. However, they tastefully replicated how the stereo surround matrix was utilized in the original sound mixes, so there’s no attempts at trying to update it with extra sounds added to make it more modern.
It sounds like this is what they tried to do with SUPERMAN IV, but something went wrong. It was a Cannon Film production, so I assume the resources on how to remaster the sound faithfully through the original sound stems were very limiting and not helpful. That’s really a shame, because I do think of Alexander Courage’s score as being the most successful element in IV when it comes to production. He did an excellent job of utilizing John Williams’ themes old and new.
Better than General Zod appearing again.
Yes, I’m thinking Brainiac, Parasite, or Toyman. They feel like villains James Gunn would use. I also feel that Supergirl might make an appearance as well.
This means we should have a new core Superman cast by the end of the year!
