Yeah I'd love to see Fincher's take on it. As long as he's a fan of superman. It's been known to happen though, that they get someone to direct in a genre they don't even like. Freddy vs Jason's director for example.
please. a film like Superman can't be anything else but action-packed, it's not meant to have much thought to it, but the perfect amount of: good storyline/great actors/great effects/great direction it was like Aronofsky directing the new Wolverine movie, it just couldn't happen, not his style at all i'm not saying it couldn't be done, a director like Fincher can do whatever the fuck he wanted because he's just too good, I'm saying it's just not his style and a director like Snyder suits better for a super-hero movie of this type
Nolan's two films before Batman Begins were Memento and Insomnia. Many people said similar things about him before Batman Begins was released.
I'm still trying to get my head around a Superman movie that has all of: good storylines, great actors, great effects AND great direction.
Also don't forget that Fincher directed Alien 3. It wasn't good and had notoriously shitty interference from the studios, but the guy can handle action.
Superman I, Superman II, Superman/Doomsday. Superman Returns was pretty good in all of those categories too.
So what are the expectations for Henry Cavill? I really liked him in The Tudors but The Immortals was meh (though probably not his fault). This will be his first big role (leading role in Immortals aside since no one cared about that).
He was good in Immortals, even though the movie itself was mediocre. He should do fine. He does seem to lack humor, though. I've never seen him show any sort of comedic intent. Good looking son of a bitch, though
I'm glad you threw Superman/Doomsday in there. The animated DC films don't get the credit they deserve. I thought Public Enemies was phenomenal. Apocalypse was good, too but not as good as Public Enemies.
Was gonna include those but superman/batman ≠ superman. Also I hate how in those movies and justice league movies how they always try to make it out that batman is so much smarter than superman and that superman needs batman. When obviously superman doesn't need shit and his iq is off the charts (even if batman was the smartest human alive).
Comic Con happened and some footage was screened. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/57044 Sounds promising, I must say. Particularly the part where he says the footage shown is not typical Snyder.
Didn't read all of that 'cause of spoilers and shit, but holy fuck this is going to be amazing - just got that feeling all of a sudden. I hope to God that Zimmer doesn't ruin it. Michael Shannon is the best actor on the planet at the moment.
If anyone's going to ruin this movie, it's Zack Snyder: Great, so you've completely missed the point of his character.
I quite like the idea that this time around Superman is going to be a bit more badass. They've got to do something different to make things more interesting for this franchise. And I like that Cavill is so ripped for this role that he actually looks more like the comic book Superman compared to the only slightly muscly Routh and Reeve.
All superhero characters are super ripped on comic books though, not just Superman. Although, I guess Supes is more than others.
So what is the point of his character? The blue boy scout shit has been pretty much the only side of Superman that movie studios will touch--which is bullshit. There is a side to him that is badass and will beat the shit out of bad guys. Superman II touched on this a bit but it was like a 2 minute scene. I think the idea that they're going the "he's an alien and should be feared" route is extremely refreshing to say the least.
Tell me about it. I would have been fine with, take your pick: Ottman, Doyle, Powell, Gregson-Williams, Don Davis, Debney, Newton Howard...hell, even Giachhino would be an interesting pick. I don't mind so much that the Superman themes are gone (especially because it's a reboot, duh) - but my faith that Zimmer will be able to conjure up any sort of listenable theme(s) at all is practically non-existent.
That trailer was absolutely horrible. Superman unshaven, backpacking and doing odd jobs? The trailer was pretty much screaming "hey, this is gonna be just like Batman Begins, please please please PLEASE come watch this next year!!!!"
I hope you realise that your comment was made with your fishing line. I just made an opinion about a horribly contrived film. You judged a 90 second almost-devoid-of-content teaser in a bewildering fashion. And somehow compared it with Batman Begins?
I doubt it will be just like Batman Begins because that's about Batman. This movie will be about Superman.
That's not what I meant and you know it. Every comic book related movie from now on is going to try and copy the Nolan formula, and Man of Steel seems to be the first in line to do it. Maybe (and hopefully) I'm wrong, but that's the impression I got form the trailer.
well yeah, especially since the usual Nolan suspects wrote the film. that was the whole point from the beginning both teasers superpowered my penis
I thought the trailer was pretty cool but revealed basically nothing about the plot or the true tone of the film. I mean they had to borrow music from LOTR lol. Although that wasn't totally unexpected as its just a teaser. This movie isn't coming out for another year. Ugh.
I came in here to post that that music was amazing and has given me goosebumps all three times I watched the trailer(s). Didn't realize it was from LOTR.
i didn't realise either, but my girlfriend (who is the biggest LOTR geek in the world) recognised it straight away and thought it was confusing, and pretty funny.
Cmon dude it could either be kryptonite handcuffs or he could have broken the law, in which case Superman would absolutely be willingly arrested.
In Superman Returns he lifted a fucking mountain of kryptonite. There could be circumstances where he inadvertently broke the law, that or red kryptonite is involved,
And that's one of many reasons why that movie sucks dicks, so if kryptonte's involved ew. I guess he might have broken a law for the greater good, but surely his captors know that he can't be restrained like that if we assume kryptonite isn't involved. Unless, like I earlier guessed, it's early on in the movie and he's pretending. Although that's kinda lame too.
I don't think it's even worth debating honestly. It's a single picture of a movie we know nothing about.
Ehh.. not really. You make it seem like he was lifting a mountain of pure kryptonite when clearly it was a huge chunk of regular earth that was laced with small traces of kryptonite. If we are to believe the explanation given in that film, crystals inherit the traits of the minerals around them. So it was an obviously watered down version of kryptonite as evidenced by the fact that he could still walk after he landed on the island. Also val you should re-evaluate your shitty opinion on SR sucking "dicks". It was a flawed but overall good film and a worthy entry into the Superman mythos.
