I think that was perfectly fine for the 1st TV Spot.

yep. IM3's forst TV spot only showed a couple of seconds of new footage too.

 

[Dark Knight]

I think that was perfectly fine for the 1st TV Spot.

Should have been new footage this late in the game.....more action especially for a Mens Hoops Title game.

This is WB's and Nolan...holding things back till the last minute of course.

I think that was perfectly fine for the 1st TV Spot.

As fans if we put ourselves in the position of a general movie goer, I would say in that short clip it gets the (buzz word) epic feel accomplished in a short amount of time. Very well done imo. Most people would conclude that it is a journeyman type film about Superman, which will garner interest.

Well this might further solidify that the color filter that they used for the first theatrical trailer is what we'll ultimately be getting.

I was kind of hoping that they wouldn't go with that since it really drains out all of the colors from the footage. It'd be nice to have a superman film someday where we don't get the yellowish brown filter or gray filter attached to the film.

 

[Krumm]

I think that was perfectly fine for the 1st TV Spot.

It just played flat. It felt rushed and lacked dynamics.

 

[Boy Scout]

Yeah that was a pretty piss poor tv spot. I'm a little irritated that is what some new viewers saw first.

Seriously?

 

[Krumm]

Seriously?

Yes.

In fairness, it is new footage to a general movie goer. It has that BB type journey feel to it. I think it was a good spot. As a fanboy, of course I want new footage. Keep in mind they are picking their opportunities because IM3 and some other films are promoting heavily at the moment.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I liked the tv spot. Got my blood pumping. But then again anything for this will get my blood pumping.

 

[Boy Scout]

Yes.

Typical.

 

[Kane52630]

Just made these, enjoy.

For an action packed final for the title. People want to see some action that gets them more pumped IMO.

I think that was perfectly fine for the 1st TV Spot.

Heck yeah! It was tightly edited, had some good narration, and a few seconds of action. It's exactly what they needed for a first TV Spot.
On a certain level I think it's better executed than the trailer they pulled the footage from (Though I love that trailer.)

 

[DarthAlani]

Its starting. About damn time.

 

[T"Challa]

Its just the first spot. The subsequent ones will feature some new footage, especially after the next trailer is released. This spot was meant to simply expose the film to a wide audience and pique curiosity. I think it was fine.

 

[Superherofan123]

Great 1st TV Spot. If that was the first footage I had seen I'd be ecstatic about the movie!

Very well said.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

OK spot. Nothing to get worked up over. More to come.

 

[Krumm]

Typical.

Typical how?

I'm speaking as someone who does this sort of thing for a living. My boss wouldn't let me get away with that, but really I wouldn't have shown it to him.

Well, considering it is just a condensed version of the previous trailer, i find the selection of shots they opted to keep and exclude odd.

Not included
-mid air collision between Superman and someone else between buildings
-Perry White running from collapsing building
-Russel Crowe close up
-Zod close up
-Metal object flying infront of explosion
-Alien pod by Kent farm

Basically, many of the more action oriented shots.

While including
-split second shot of Costner (can't even tell its him)
-Military guy and old guy stare of screen
-Superman flying by huge light beam (can't really tell what is going on there)
-Close up of Lois

I would have cut the military and old guy shot as well as Superman flying by the light beam, switched the Costner close up with Russell Crowe's close up (he is more recognizable) & added the mid air collision & Perry fleeing collapsing building shots, personally. Give it a grander, more action packed feel.

 

[Super Kal]

Its starting. About damn time.

my thoughts exactly

 

[Superherofan123]

Totally agree with jim. And Jim is this what you believed was coming or is tomorrow bringing us something else as well?

Good point on the mid air collision.

Good TV Spot... Very well done. I can feel this is the start

 

[Showtime]

yep. IM3's forst TV spot only showed a couple of seconds of new footage too.

Right. I'm not worried. It's new footage to the general public watching that game.

As I said above, its a "new to you" type of thing. Fans want new footage, but that is to tell millions of NCAA basketball fans that Superman is back.

Yep. You always have to put yourself in the general public's shoes. The teaser was an announcement to moviegoers that Superman is coming back, this is an announcement to more of the masses.

It just played flat. It felt rushed and lacked dynamics.

For a first television spot that could just be a one and out. It was fine if you ask me. It wasn't Casablanca, but i did its job.

I think it did what it needed to.
