Superman Returns

RE: Superman Returns

rofl, I saw the preview for this when I went to see Harry Potter with Kamoa. Oh man, I was like, ASDF YOU'RE SHITTING ME!

RE: Superman Returns

that was a terrible trailer. The movie looks stupid too. I'd expect another batman movie to come out with like all this hi-tech crap within the next few years.

RE: Superman Returns

Omega... King Kong = SAME plot 4 different times....

Superman 1-4 = four DIFFERENT plots... Lois & Clark, also different plots... Smallville, again, different plots.

I'll check out the preview in case i'm wrong and Superman Returns is a re-make of the original Superman... but, I wasn't under that impression.


EDIT: ok, I saw the trailer... and yea, its taking the angle of Superman 1 all over again... but, it doesn't give any premise to the plot of the movie. So, if it is a remake, it will follow a similar plot of Superman 1. If its just a new concept and new angle with new actors on Superman with the same starting point as Superman 1... then it'll have a different and new plot.

In either case, I completely disagree with it. Superman HAD an opening with Superman 1. There is no need to redo the information given to us in Superman 1. What made Batman Begins great was that Batman 1 skipped over all that information, while Superman 1 did not.

I'll see the movie, but I can't say it'll be even decent.

My whole take on King Kong is that it is the exact same plot, with King Kong and Jane, with the Empire State Building... nothing is different except the director, the actors, and the technology. And the bankroll. Its my same beef with The Producers... and it WILL be my same beef with this new Superman if all it is is a remake.

Movies need a mimimum of 40 years before they can be remade, IMO. Bad News Bears and Longest Yard... too soon. Ocean's Eleven is the PERFECT example of an excellently remade movie. Original is fantastic with an amazing cast, remake is just as quality with a whole new generation of top actors. On a different level, even Mr. Deeds was decent as a remake... considering the original was from 1936.

And then some movies are just too timeless and classic to ever be remade. Gone With the Wind, Singin' in the Rain, Casablanca... or even better, Charlie Chaplin movies. Then again, who would want a silent movie, and who could ever duplicate Chaplin's ability to convey emotion and speech without actually talking.

They should make a Superman Begins like that Batman movie...

But...Superman I has that beginning stuff IN it. You see him grow up and learn to use his powers. To reiterate:

Umm I don't read posts with more than 2 paragraphs...

Of course it's not gonna be great. I'm just saying that their excuse for redoing Superman 1 is to show off the Jesus metaphor. It's blatantly obvious if you watch the trailer.

Goddamn it. No one cares.

As for Superman: Superman sucks and the people who like superman suck. His only weakness is Kryptonite. What the sh*t is that? Superman is the worst Superhero ever.

Except Birdman beats out Superman in the worst superhero category by like...a ton.

shox: How can you not see the metaphor? The trailer!

"I HAVE SENT YOU, MY ONLY SON, TO TEACH THEM HOW TO BE A GOOD PEOPLE."

...that's not Jesus metaphor?

Actually

So... It's not a remake.

Oh snap.

In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space.

I could have seen that one from a mile away. There was no way he would just stay on Earth. I wonder what his space suit will look like...

Pshh. I think the only time Supes as worn a space suit is in the animated series.
