Strangely enough, I've wondered if something like a bullet dircetly in the eye would at least make Superman flinch... Now I know.

I really liked that trailer. A little bit more informative than the other trailers. I'm hoping to be able to catch Superman Returns when it comes out in Tokyo (since that's where I'll be when it comes out).

But will it be in Japanese? Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
No. Most American films are shown in English with Japanese subtitles. Posted by Puppy (Member # 6721) on :
That trailer was a LOT better than the last one, though Jimmy Olsen is still a tool.
That bullet-to-the-eye thing was AWESOMELY HILARIOUS. I had to watch it twice.

I've always viewed Jimmy as being basically nice, but having a bit of a weasel streak.
And -yes-...the bullet to the eye thing was great. Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :
That was so much better than the X3 trailers. Awesome.

The most intriguing parts of Superman, for me, are two fold: the things that he can't do, that is, make Lois love him, 2) know if Lois would love him sans powers.

So if I understand correctly, they're pretending that the third and four movies (which never really existed) never really existed, and Superman Returns is a sequel to Superman II. Yes?

Lois has loved Superman for the almost 70 years the characters have been around. It's Clark who she's distant and conflicted towards, and (traditionally) only we in the audience realize the irony.
2) know if Lois would love him sans powers.
Ah, someone who has never seen Superman II, or read Alan Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" Give the first a rental, the second a read.

Not quite. This is not a direct sequel to Superman II per se. Think of it as being like the James Bond film franchise...well, before the upcoming reboot this fall. The previous adventures happened, but just in the past several years, not over decades.
Superman the Movie and Superman II both "happened", but not strictly as they did onscreen. For example, they both happened "five years ago" instead of in the late 70s/early 80s.
And yes...Superman III, Supergirl, and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace all never happened in the backstory of "Returns".

I think this movie is going to be a lot better than many critics are saying. It's funny that all of the negative reviews I have read seem to assume that Superman will be a bad movie because he has a rubber-looking cape and bright colors. That's their only critique, but you can't judge a movie by the outfit. I think Singer will redeem the Superman franchise.
And did I mention that I think Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor is brilliant? He was great in the preview.

Yeah, the Spider-Man movie proved that modern audiences won't accept a primary-colored costume. Posted by starLisa (Member # 8384) on :

Cool. I assume the effects were better, too? <grin> 'Cause I just rewatched Superman II, and the cheese was just overwhelming.

I recognize Supergirl (though just barely), but those other two... they don't ring a bell. Perhaps you just imagined them?
Posted by Marlozhan (Member # 2422) on :
No, those other movies definitely happened...unfortunately. They were painfully bad IMHO.
