All Things Superman: An Open Discussion - - - - - - - - - - Part 47

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I love the look of Krypton. Crystal planet was fine and I won't bash it but I wanted something different for this film.

Did you guys think the special effects looked good ? I have read a few complaints.

overall, I thought the special effects were great!

the only time where it felt a bit "video gamey" was the very last shot of Superman punching those guys.

maybe it was how it was shot where it's like you're looking over Superman's shoulders. but that's the only area where it felt a bit off.......

 

[TheIrishAvenger]

is it me or this trailer has a different screen ratio than the others?....it does have a bigger resolution (1920x1080 instead of 1920x800)

1080 features the black bars, 800 doesn't.

the effects look like a Snyder movie. a lot of stylized lighting. i dont have a problem.

 

[X Knight]

Well, since my phone is a piece of ****, I didn't get the 1:10AM alarm I had set. But I did wake up at 3:30AM so then I saw the trailer... and... HOLY GOD DAMN!

What a trailer.

I think my favourite bit of the trailer was the "You are my son" line from Costner, very emotional. Lots of cool action bits and the music is pretty good (although not anywhere close to the Williams score but that's expected); really suits a modern-day Superman. I have a lot more faith in Cavill due to the final bit in the trailer but I'm still wondering about Clark and if we will get the reporter/awkward buffoon act. Can't wait for more footage in TV spots, clips etc.

Bring on June 14!

based on what we've seen and heard, I think the "Daily Planet" Clark persona won't come into play until near the end.

1. This giant machine destroys planets at their core.

2. That is either Zod's escape or JorEl's escape onto the dragon fly vehicle thing.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Visual effects are an easy goto for people to whine about. I'm not saying don't complain but some people complain about even the best effects because of rose colored glasses about old films.

Just saw the trailer and its fantastic although I think they could've shown a little bit more new footage but anyway a couple things I notice upon multiple viewings. There's seem to be several creatures that will feature in the film, I was wondering what is that flying creature that catches/saves supes? from falling and that big tentacled thing is definitely not mechanical atleast it doesn't look like it.

on another note something that I don't necessarily like is that they seem to be going with an almost "documentary" handheld style for the whole film which I think works sometimes but in some instances ( supes catching lois or whoever it is) just seems jarring and unnecessary. Other than that everything looks great and I love the organic design of krypton(what we saw of it anyway)
and the bobafett looking guards

i am happy that its new and that it doesnt look like Star trek and Star Wars. fanboys dont have imagination so they only know how to copy. over 10 years Krypton was supposed to look like SW and ST. happy that they made it organic. its hard to describe. it works.

 

[X Knight]

oh, and I certainly had my doubts about Amy as Lois. mainly about the "look" ( I'm so used to dark hair Lois ).

but, after watching the trailer, I have no more complaints........t:

 

[Gee]

is it me or this trailer has a different screen ratio than the others?....it does have a bigger resolution (1920x1080 instead of 1920x800)

Yes it does.

 

[G.Godfrey]

Does anyone know what's going in this scene:

Spoiler

Based on Cavill's face Superman is really under a lot of strain here. When I first saw it I actually thought of Thor, the way Supes holds his hands up, almost like Thor creating a storm with his hammer. t: Of course this looked more badass.

The thing flying looks like a Kryptonian flying vessel. They have those "wings".

That moment when you realize... There are just 8 weeks left

I just hope that Crowe doesn't call it Kryptin like Brando did.

of course it's easy as it's a major thing with superhero films especially. superman II effects felt more real. some of the effects in MOS trailer 3 are a bit dodgy. Its the really fast movement that makes him look cartoony.

 

[gohei_]

The look of Krypton sort of reminds me of mars from John Carter.

lol!! Right!

 

[souperman]

Yeah, such a simple line and yet the delivery just tugs at your heartstrings. People give Costner a lot of crap for some of his past films (Robin Hood, Waterworld) but in the right role, the man is amazing (Dances with Wolves, JFK, Mr. Brooks and hopefully, Man of Steel).

you forgot field of dreams!

 

[TheIrishAvenger]

1080 QT downloaded! Oh boy...

true. i forgot about that movie.

 

[Quasimod0]

This is a hard place to be for someone who loves marvel and DC. Tired of seein people take shots at marvel movies and lift this movie up. This looks amazing and i'm super pumped, but iron man 3 looks amazing too just in a different way.

 

[BH/HHH]

Just noticed something, sorry if someone else has mentioned it but that opening shot of Jor-El I'm pretty sure that's Kelex alongside him.

I thought Supes was holding off the gravity beam thing from Black Zero........

that's what I assumed it was........
