why do you ask?
Showtime029 said:Did you read the script?
Showtime029 said:I am saying that WB should have made sure they had a company line on whether this was a sequel or not. Everybody said something different. Singer said 8 different things.

Wesyeed said:yeah and it confused the hell out of me. LOL. They should have done as you suggested and just made it clear from the start what this movie was since if I was confused, a fanboy, I can't imagine what the general public was.
JBElliott said:Because.
NateGray said:Its Singer's fault because he had final control.
There are scenes that should have never been in the script much less the movie like the hospital scene at the end where the pull out a piece of Kryptonite out of him or the dog eat dog scene that made it into the movie and I could mention others that should have been in the movie that they even wasted millions of dollars to shoot but never used.
The way it plays out is also direction so in the end it is Singer's fault and his writers whom he has almost complete control over.
Showtime029 said:I don't understand why that was even added to the movie, it wasn't in the script.
NateGray said:Exactly and it would have freed up time to put in more important scenes that were cut like Lex telling Superman it was him that sent him on the trail looking for Krypton or more smallville scenes with Ma Kent etc etc....
AVEITWITHJAMON said:^How exactly would cutting a 30 second scene make room for other scene's that would last longer. I agree that scene should have been cut, but it couldnt be replaced by any of the deleted scene's without making the movie longer.
No...it means they have a different opinion than yours.Excel said:anybody who says superman returns is a bad movie is stupid.
Showtime029 said:As you know I liked the film, but as you aluded to, cutting certain scenes as above only pave the way for better scenes. End result, a better more well rounded movie.
Showtime029 said:I ask because the script is a good read and contains elements that would have made the movie better in some peoples minds. The "Return to Krypton Scene" and more "Smallville Scenes" are among those omitted. Superman saving a people from a burning apartment and a helping a man stuck in a burning car was omitted from the Metropolis action sequence. Footage of Superman saving mountain climbers was either not filmed or cut form the film. In other words more action. Also a key component that was either cut from the movie or the script was Lex letting Superman know he was responsible for Superman's hiatus by planting false information about Krypton.
Actually there have been several reasonable possibilities put forth;X-Maniac said:5) All childhood flashback scenes, especially showing young Clark wearing glasses (REASON - him wearing glasses is silly, flashbacks are not needed, i doubt anyone on this forum can justify why young Clark is wearing the disguising glasses of older Clark)
C. Lee said:Actually there have been several reasonable possibilities put forth;
1) The Kents, knowing Clark is extrememly physically superior to earthmen, have him wear glasses from an early age to make people not think he is so gifted to help draw attention from him.
2) The Kents use something in the glasses (particles of lead for example)to lessen his supersight abilities to help him train himself to use them properly.
3) It was used to show an analogy of Clark discovering his super powers and not needing the glasses anymore to that of Jason discovering his powers and not needing the inhaler anymore.

Either that or, the fact that they made the kid really sick, with the breath thing and special diet, they were going out of their way to show the kids wasn't his.X-Maniac said:Still, none of that was even remotely hinted at in the movie.
I think it more likely that they wanted to make it extremely obvious the kid was Clark.
