Superman Returns Box Office Preview

[sameone]

well spidey was having a supervillain. superman does not. i wouldnt be suprised if people would not like superman since it is like S:TM. he is saving people from disasters which lex made.

copy.............

it is a copy and for 225 or 250 mil you would think they'd have been able to do something original.

When Singer came on board Horn agreed to throw all that came before out which was a huge mistake.

The Abrahms script would have been a good starting point with significant corrections of course.

Or the Kevin Smith script.

Better Singer had copied hose.

But really Singer should have come up with something original.

I don't know if they will ever do another Superman film again but if they do my money is that will be a reboot and have nothing to do with Singer's SR.

 

[Showtime]

The Abrams script is horrible, only good part of the script is the villians he created. The Kevin Smith script is a great read, and the dialogue between Superman and Lois. A must read.

There's an oxymorom if I ever read one.

if the trailer arrives. IF my dear cinemaman. i really dont know what is WB doing .and we can not be sure if in may we wil really get the trailer.

if we get the trailer

You really have to start to wonder about the trailer and it being pushed out later than is ever done for a major film. There is no way they can't do a trailer - well in the "real" world but it is hard to figure out what is up with this film.

No not Really the teaser poster and teaser trailer....Routh's appearance at the GGs, magazine articles....talk show appearances when the movie gets closer...the trailer in april or may...plenty of marketing happening for SR plus the name Superman will put butts in the seats....you need to get a clue.

WEell, by all rights they can't not do or release a trailer so it will eventually come. But I predicted months ago they would delay it as long as possible because of Routh's presence or lack thereof as Superman.

There will be a trailer in may - they can't delay it longer.

Will they pre-screen the film to critics? That will be interesting to watch for. I could see them not doing that.

Yeah...probably not. May is plenty of time to get the word out in theaters and plus all the tv spots in June once the movie starts....plenty of marketing....you don't like anything you see so really why keep posting here? You are a joke.

I post cause I love this character and choose not to keep quiet when I feel the franchise, the greatest mythical character ever, is not getting the world class treatment it deserves.

He is getting the world class treatment he deserves...just because you don't like what you have seen doesn't mean Singer and company doesn't respect Superman.

the abrams scrpit DOES NOT suck...id argue its probably more entertaining then whatever singers giving us.

ITA.

It did have its problems which a sold rewrite could have fixed.

Superman dying and being brought back to life by Jor-El I guess should have gone from the script.

Krypton still around would have been a huge change - but so is Superman having a son.

The Krypon thing needed to be re-written or treated as a flashback to a previous time - not current. It might have been cool in that light.

The script had this great epic feel to it.

Loved the cliffhanger ending - Superman leaving to return to Krypton but Krypton IMO should have been gone by then so I would have had Superman discover it was no more in the sequle that resoled that ending.

Like I said it needed major rewrites but had a great epic comic book core that Abrahams took too far.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Oh god! After full trailer people will understand that it is great movies. That wasn't so with teaser, because it didn't show us a lot of shots.

And I don't think it will be hurted by POTC2.

When POTC2 arrives, it will alredy make huge opening.

So basically you know the trailer is gonna be awesome and everyone will love it b/c you will regardless ?
POTC2 will eat heavily into it's second week and cut it's legs off was what i meant

The script was horribly written and the concepts were awful. The villians were incredible but that is about it.

Kevin Smith's script was a well written script that captured the relationship between Superman and Lois.

have you read it?its a gold mine. theres so many scenes that i just imagine instant classics...im telling you its a great read.

 

[The Punisher]

Yeah i read it, it was good.

I did read it, I read the final cut. I just don't have the same opinion. I thought the Smith script was a better read and a better storyline.

 

[Metropolis_Man]

I liked the Alex Ford script a lot. I don't know if anyone's read it. I haven't had a chance to read the Kevin Smith script. I'll probably check it out soon though.
