SUPERMAN is the big event movie.
---
The teaser has had over 250 million views in only two days which is a record already for not just DC but also a Warner Bros film.
I thought it was done well in Smallville
I have been Watching some older Superman clips on YouTube, this is so good. The first and the best Superhero.
Superman is the cavalry (for superhero movies and cinema... possibly).
Love that line from the teaser.
I agree, as I've said before, the Salkinds could have easily been Superman's equivalent of the Broccoli Family. But they made some poor decisions (akin to Harry Saltzman's selling of his Bond rights) before they even made Superman. Namely, not paying people seems to be a reoccurring criticism of theirs. They arguably just got lucky with Donner and his crew. There are a number of great ways and directions to take Superman. From a cinematic viewpoint, they've barely touched the surface. I always felt like Zack Snyder would be too polarizing to do Superman justice. He also deserves some blame for fumbling the Death of Superman storyline. So the pressure is on James Gunn and his crew for Superman now more than ever. If they fail, enjoy waiting around for another movie. Which will probably be an origin story, or have Lex and Zod as villains.
Superman was like Star Wars. It relied a lot on special effects. Even George Lucas let the series rest for 15 years.
Not really. Superman 3 and in particular 4 bombed financially and review wise. They to a degree had no choice but to let Superman rest. Christopher Reeve's accident didn't help either.
I know but the thing is, it wasn't surprising anymore.
Franchise fatigue was always going to happen. Special effects don't improve fast enough to avoid audience fatigue.
That’s incorrect. The simple explanation for why the films declined is that the movies got bad. That’s all. If III and IV were as good or even better than the first two films Reeve’s run would not have went out with a whimper.
No, they relied a lot on special effects. These movies are what they are. It's the same problem that the Jurassic Park movies have.
It makes sense but you don't want to accept it.
Read again.
I'm with you as well, mostly. CABNW I'm only interested in because of Harrison Ford. Anthony Mackie is a bit of a Marvel suck-up at times in his interviews. Superman will hopefully be noticed, social media has been buzzing positively about the trailer. It's unique how little we actually know about the movie. Supergirl will also start filming in a couple of weeks, as well.
That ending is so tone deaf. Right after Superman kills Zod and feels absolute regret and remorse for doing what he did, we shift gears towards a happy ending.
For this incarnation of Superman, his rationale for wearing red tights is that he doesn’t want to scare children, so he’s wearing the tights to somewhat resemble a professional wrestler. It’s a theatrical choice to look less intimidating to kids.
I have to say that I’ve come to prefer the trunk less costumes, but I’ll go with that rationalization.
I think the yellow \S/ ooks great in the new teaser on the back of the cape.
True.
