a very fine and fair post, Michael Corleone......
To be fair to Singer, your vision is like your baby....and I'm sure you would be very proud of that vision.....as that is what you personally want to see on screen.....and the director of the movie does have that prerogative.....
I bet if you, me, or anyone here was in charge of a Superman movie....we would all have our own vision of what we want on screen.......and we would try our hardest to make that vision a reality.....
But, as you said, sometimes you have to step back....and ask yourself if your vision is the right vision.......will it appeal to your audience.....will it turn off your audience........so you have to stick to your vision, but you can't be totally blinded by it.
That actually reminds me of an Apprentice episode. In that episode, the teams were asked to create a graffiti ad for a Playstation game, on a wall in Harlem.........
Now, the Project Manager ( PM ) of the losing team........lost because she was so blinded by her "creative" vision....of what SHE wanted the ad to look like........but she FAILED to consider if her vision would connect with the intended audience....if it would serve the intended purpose..........
yes, her ad was actually the "prettier" of the two.....but she lost......because her audience couldn't really understand what the ad was trying to convey ( marketing the selling points of the game )..........
When I watched that episode....I felt that was what happened, in part, with Ang Lee's Hulk......and what I feared was going to happen with Singer's Superman........sadly, I guess my fears came true......imo of course.
