I'm not sure what to expect from this. It's the same guy who did the Guardians Of The Galaxy so it could be a disaster. The trailer looks decent though. Not sure about that Lex Luthor though. I'm a huge fan of the first two Christopher Reeve movies and I even enjoyed the third movie in a funny kind of way. I barely remember the 4th movie but I know I hated it. I did really like the one with Kevin Spacey too. The guy who plays Superman in that was really good. I didn't really like the Cavill movies. They were kind of dour and boring. This new movie looks like it might fall somewhere in between all of those. If I like it as much as Superman 3 then I'll be happy enough with that. I don't think it will rank up there with the first two though. | |

I agree with all your takes. Loved Superman Returns. I know Guy Gardner is in this movie, probably there for comic relief. |

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked Superman Returns. It hit sll the right notes for myself and my son when we went to see it in a movie theater in 2006. As a huge fan of the Christopher Reeve movies (especially the first two as Shelly pointed out) I think it did a great job paying tribute to those movies. I might go see the new one--depending on what the reponse is after it comes out. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

I kind of expected to hate the new one because I really don't like the Guardians movies but the trailer kind of sold it to me. I don't want to see any more trailers or read any reviews for it until I've seen the movie for myself. I showed the trailer to my son and the first thing he said was that it looks like "those really old Spider-Man movies". Can't help but feel slightly triggered by that "really old" part but I actually think he's got a point. Those Spider-Man movies felt like real comic book movies. They weren't trying to be heavy dramas but they also weren't embarrassed to be comic book movies like a lot of recent Marvel movies. I do kind of get a similar vibe from Superman. Now, whether my son was thinking about it that deeply is up for debate. He was probably just talking about how colourful it was  | |

That's a fine idea, Oscar Mayer! I like the dog. My bf is a massive Superman nerd and he actually had a dog called Krypto when he was a kid. So it's kind of nice for him too. I feel kind of bad for Cavill. He looked like he could have been a really good Superman but he never really got a good movie. I just don't know why they tried to make it so dark and devoid of fun. He didn't even have the red trunks. Or the crystal fortress thing. Or a Lex Luthor. | |

I just noticed that the guy from Firefly is playing him. I didn't even see him at first. That's kind of cool. I'm not sure how I feel about there being so many superheroes in it. I'd kind of prefer if it was Superman by himself. | |

Well, the first scene in the trailer sees Superman injured and bleeding. "Whatever skin we're in

Obviously we get a look at Lex Luthor and some sort of Kaiju beast thing but I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. Even though I am a bit apprehensive over the whole thing. I want it to be good though. | |

James Gunn seems to like using little-known characters in his movies. I wonder if this is some sort of elaborate set up for the next Justice League movie. Like, these smaller characters get killed off to sell the audience on how tough the villain is before Superman recruits Batman, Wonder Woman and co to kick his ass? | |
