    Wow, you're both way into this. It's shitty writing for an average movie that tried to ride the coattails of previous offerings. Nothing much to get too upset about.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    No, you are just the only one crass enough to point it out. I think everyone else is content just to leave it alone

    Just watched Superman Returns. Not a terrible movie. It tried real hard to recall the super moments of a film from 20 years ago. The current generation of superhero movie fans will miss half the signature/ode moments harking from the original movies. Overall a decent movie if you don't think about it too hard, same with most superhero movies these days.

    edit: for the new movie:
    Theseus from Immortals (the movie) is Superman
    Amy Adams as Lois Lane
    Morpheus as Perry White
    No Lex Luthor

    This should be pretty terrible.

    Not that I care that much about a new Superman movie, but here are some pics:

    I guess it's cool that the actor has the physique for the role, if not the height and size.

    height and size can be "directed" into the movie. Physique would require cgi, so better that that's already there. Although i sill maintain, the best person to play superman is the guy from smallville. He has the perfect physique for it.

    He probably doesn't have the star power for the role, but then how do you explain Brandon Routh getting the part in 2006.

    I think the guy from Smallville is good for a younger Clark Kent, but too lean for a Metropolis-era Clark Kent. Routh had the physique for the role, if not the acting chops.

    Armie Hammer would have been good for the role as far as physique.

    Here's the Superman movie I'd like to see:

    "You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

    It sounds like an awesome premise, but it's kinda been done. I can't remember where and in what, but it's not an original idea, though some of what Superman can do will add those original elements to the story.

    Wow that trailer actually looked really good, maybe its just me but I feel like it has Chris Nolan written all over it (well he is the producer). DC should have him produce all their movies.

    First official trailer, more like a teaser really:

    That looks super, man. It's amazing how everything leading up to him in the Superman outfit is so cool that it almost makes his superhero work anticlimactic. I'm actually looking forward to this movie now.

    The one above is with Kevin Costner's narration.

    Here's the one with Russell Crowe's narration:



    I like this one better.

    I prefer the Costner one. It sounds more like his old man giving him advice. Though with Crowe playing Jor-El, it also makes sense that his real father would tell him something like that too.

    Notice the beard on Clark. How does he shave exactly? I wonder if even a diamond razor could cut super-hair.

    SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!

    That was fantastic and he actually seems powerful this time around. The previous supermen were wimps but you go ahead Henry Cavill fly at supersonic speeds, show them how it's done, take your flying lessons from Neo.

    In the old days they had him shave using a mirror and his heat/laser vision.
