Pretty damn impressive I’d say; nice touches from The Watchmen too!
Will def go see
So the first hour of the movie will be “The Hulk” , and the second the redemption of the (handsome)’monster’ who saves the Earth from an Alien invasion while he deals with his daddy issues. I love the character, but this is overly melodramatic.
Thank you for using your power-cosmic level of judgment to sum up the entire picture based on what you saw in a two-and-a-half minute commercial. You seem like a great person to go to the movies with.
Agree. It was overly melodramatic. That epic music that leads to nothing, Henry who looks too old to play guy in spandex… This characters need to be played by “young adults”. Guys who look like they just came from school or college. Henry looks like a grown-up adult man. And he looks little ridiculous in that suit.
Teenage superheroes. No thank you. Cavil is 29, is he supposed to be 19?
Oh, I guess you missed it. It was called Smallville.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
*calm*
This is the movie I’ve been waiting my whole life for. Henry looks like he could be the best Superman ever!
F%#@ YES!
This looks DOPE. That’s all there’s too it. I’m genuinely excited about it after this trailer. Kudos to the marketing department at WB.
*to it.*
Looks fantastic! Can’t wait.
Ugh. From the “director” of that horrible Watchmen bomb? Skip.
BA BA BOOEY! Sucked me in hook line and sinker, can’t wait! Really is there nothing more fun than the anticipation of seeing a movie you are excited about? 9 times out of 10 the anticipation was better then the experience(…that’s what she said)
Looks nice, but seems to work too hard to inspire, though in it’s favor it doesn’t look so much like a fabric softener commercial.
Paint me interested, though mildly concerned that it’s going to be too much style over substance (such the huge lens flare in one scene).
When did lens flare become such a huge source of disdain?! Did I miss that bus?
On the one hand, it’s an easy-to-find thing to critique if you don’t have anything of real substance to say. On the other, people have a right to point out that certain modern filmmakers — we’re looking at you, J.J. Abrams — have a penchant for using a lot of sometimes distracting digital flare effects. Some really hate it. In a space movie like Abrams’ Star Trek, I don’t mind it so much. Either way, the lens flare has become a faddish thing to whine about.
As a huge, but often disappointed, Super Man fan, I am really looking forward to this. So far it looks like the visual abilities of Zach Snyder and the storytelling abilities of Christopher Nolan are a great match.
Incredible trailer. I had very low expectations based solely on the fact that Snyder was at the helm, but after a career full of awful films he might just have landed a great one.
Very Malick-esque in some shots as well. That one at the Fortress of Solitude was straight out of The Tree of Life.
“What was I supposed to do? Let him die?!”
“Maybe.”
Chills.
Like that song… anyone know what it’s from?
Gladiator.
It’s not from Gladiator. It’s written by Patrick Cassidy. Song is called Elegy.
The voice is Lisa Gerrard, yes? She worked with Hans Zimmer on the GLADIATOR soundtrack. I’ve heard her voice in other films (maybe commercials?) as well.
Yes, Gerrard was used on Gladiator. Nice touches of story and Sfx.
I call it a great approach as superhero movies should be/are epic, not cool and hip.
Sold!
Eh. buncha emo crap.
Pa Kent would never say something like “Maybe you should have (let them die)”. That’s some bullshit right there. Nolan doesn’t understand these characters, just as he didn’t understand Batman. Bruce Wayne would NEVER stop being Batman, and Alfred would never leave him. Pure bullshit.
Agree 100%. The moral core of Ma and Pa Kent played an integral part in Clark/Superman’s development. Letting innocent people die was the antithesis of what Ma and Pa Kent represented, and how they raised young Clark. Ma and Pa Kent are iconic characters to generations of kids. They have a true legacy in our culture which should not be trifled with.
I bet you’re still angry about Michael Keaton getting cast as Batman.
I was thinking the same thing, but also thought they cut away quickly, so there could be more to the line. Like, “Maybe…don’t be so obvious next time.” Just a thought.
They are going to re-shoot that scene and use your dialog to salvage it. You guys are right on the money with your Pa Kent analysis. He instilled real humanitarian values in young Clark that Jor El was never able to.
The beginning of your post needs “In my version…” to start off, otherwise it just seems quite pretentious.
You’re right, Bruce Wayne would NEVER stop being Batman…….
unless you read “The Dark Knight Returns” in which he actually DID stop being Batman.
“Hey, look at me, look at me. I am an entitled fanboy who believes I own these characters. Only I understand these characters: these characters shouldn’t be challenged or tested in any way other than a huge CGI fight. They shouldn’t experience arcs or dilemmas or anything pesky like that. They should just punch bad guys for two hours …”
Too bad the Nolan Batman series was so critically and commercially successful.
Quite frankly, what I want is a good movie. I don’t care in the least whether it captures the purity of the original comics.
Based on this trailer, I think they may have nailed it. I’m honestly in shock. The look, the tone…this is the way to reboot Superman. It frankly makes Bryan Singer look like positively Ratner-eqsue i.e. a tired hack for what he did a few years ago. I’ll see this opening weekend. Prior to this trailer I never would have said that. I skipped Webb’s Spiderman because I just couldn’t get into the idea of it. This trailer captured my imagination. Great job.
Hopefully the Nolan touch doesn’t extend to the cursed word “trilogy” and force Superman to retire to an island somewhere with Lois, leaving Perry White, Jimmy and Ma Kent to mourn around his fake grave.
Yeah, between James Bond finding his inner child in Scotland and Bruce Wayne packing it in for espresso in Florence, it’s getting harder to find a hero who isn’t a big ball of psychological mush on the inside. In the post-Bourne, post-Nolan world, saving the world is such a drag for the protagonist. Of course, successful films like THE EXPENDABLES, X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, and THE AVENGERS exist to disprove my point.
Because X-MEN: FIRST CLASS didn’t feature with the characters holding each other on a beach …
Awesome. Loved. Kudos to the editor of that trailer as well.
A reboot of a reboot of a reboot. And they say Hollywood has no new ideas.
Remember, people, the trailer for Watchmen was brilliant, but the film was a disaster. So, I will wait for the reviews. Zach Snyder fooled me twice with the Watchmen & Sucker Punch. He will never fool me again.
Hey sp,
Absolutely agree. Although, this time he has Nolan keeping an eye on the story.
If you got fooled by Sucker Punch then you will probably get fooled again.
Yeesh. I forgot about Sucker Punch. Love that he’s rocking that General Zod beard. A Supe that shaves; weird.
Intriguing. Not a knockout, but I’m interested.
This trailer doesn’t make me want to see it at all. Neither did the teaser. Too much soul searching crap, not enough strength. Who’s the bad guy? What’s the story (other than Superman – Origin)?
duh, that comes in trailer #2. And more revealed in trailer #3.
The working title was “Emo of Steel.”
I’m in.
So, they chose not to green-light a direct sequel featuring Brandon Routh *FOR THIS*? How is remaking parts of SUPERMAN and SUPERMAN II any better off for the viability of the series than if they’d just gone with a sequel to RETURNS? This trailer in no way moves the chains, so to speak. If the trailer is any indicator of the movie, we’re in for a long, pretentious, butt-numbing, thematic-retread of X-MEN, THE DARK KNIGHT, and, well, all or parts of SUPERMAN I, II and RETURNS.
Lookin’ Good!
