Superman Returns How Do You Feel About Singer NOW Thread

[muscles]

Do you guys think Singer even knows about us all on this website and some of the criticism he gets. I wonder if he has an allias name on here.

 

[Dark Knight]

This is why you fail.

LOL.....good one....

 

[BH/HHH]

I'm gonna wait and see it before I critcize anything.

 

[StarvingArtist]

How do I feel? I feel the fans are such egotistical, selfish crybabies that nothing Singer does will get a fair shake.

I don't get the fans at all. Turn Batman into a

Spoiler

two-time ex-con who only learns killing is wrong after being chewed out by his latetst disposable girlfriend

and turn Ra's Al Ghul into

Spoiler

a stock crazy tree-hugger with a stupid master plan and a dual identity that makes no sense whatsoever, and can be easily killed in a train wreck

, and you're a creative genius beyond reproach. Write a script where Krypton doesn't explode and Lex Luthor is Kryptonian in some way or another, and you're praised to the skies for being inventive and not being tied to the mythology. But use the Reeve movies as backstory and tweak the costume with a new belt buckle and a two-sided cape? You're the Antichrist because you didn't rehash the origin in nauseating detail or you didn't convert Smallville into a movie. I can't for the life of me understand this. Fans will gladly celebrate and support stuff that takes a pickaxe to these characters and changes them for the worse, but tiny tweaks that don't hurt anything at all and using a time-tested version of the characters as a starting point bring out the torches and pitchforks. Am I the only one who doesn't get this mentality of "worship trash, but tear down anything that might actually be respectful"?

This kind of attitude is the real danger this movie faces now. The fans can't be trusted, and I am deeply ashamed to admit that I'm a part of the comic book fandom.

Who the hell thought making Luthor Kryptonian and having Krypton not explode was a good idea?

From what i see, Christopher Nolan is doing everything right thus far, from Casting to villians to story (restart)

singer is giving us doubts, especially with the casting of Kal Penn, like....what is that about, now he is "superman's best friend"????????????????? what is he going to be, Superman's OTIS???

That's YOUR, Zanos, and MANY others problem.

JUMPING TO FRIGGIN CONCLUSIONS!

Some of THE most close-minded, one-sided, pride-filled fans EVER fill up these boards...and why????

Because you think YOU can come up with a better story and cast.

Why don't you pitch your idea to WB and bless us with a leave of absence. Thanks.

YEAH! Amazing!
I think this gonna be my signature from now on!!

Agree 100%!

 

[Zooks]

many actors don't want to be in these types of movies because people will typecast them. what happens when an actor like kal penn joins the movie? he gets typecasted for a previous role. bravo. it's like if tom hanks was casted in Batman89 for a role. everyone would be making stupid references to Dragnet, Bachelor Party, and the Burbs, doubting his ability to do a serious role.

 

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

......another big time star is needed for the role of Jor-El. Much like what Brando did for the original film.

thats logical enough... but u gotta understand... casting big names does not always elevate movie quality... the script, music and direction are the most vital elements here... plus... Jor El has a minor role in the movie, as far as the speculation goes

Which path would you take,
and
Why?

Merging...

 

[Alonsovich]

WTF??!!!!!? I find incredible funny that people choose to believe in 'insiders' rather than the people that are making this movie.

IT WILL NOT BE A SEQUEL!!!!! IT WILL NOT BE SUPERMAN 3!!!!!!!

It will be a return-kind of story, when Superman is already established in Metropolis, left and has now returned. Bryan Singer himself said this multiple times.

It'll not be another origin story, a remake of STM or whatever... it's a NEW story, yet faithful to the character... Jeff Robinov said it.

It's not a 're-invention' like McG's, Burton's or Ratner's version... it's a true Superman story, with a Superman feel to it...

WTF? I find incredible that you believe a director that's just hyping his own movie and trying to make publicity. I'll judge it for the facts, not for some crap thrown to the wall in a local radio interview. Since you like Singer so much we'll take his quotes.

"No, this is not an origin story. It actually puts the origin, the earlier films into a kind of, uh, the best way I can describe it is “vague history."

How will this not be a vague sequel? Then WHY THE HELL DOES HE TAKE THE TWO FIRST TWO MOVIES AS A BASE??? CARE TO EXPLAIN??? As far as I remember Superman III was also a vague sequel as this one: no mention of Jor-El, no kryptonian villains, a character that resembled the buisnessman Lex... how is that original? Care to explain me how it is original? Because last I checked Superman II was also a "vague history" to Superman I & II.

How do you compare Routh, Laurie, Penn to Neeson, Oldman, Bale... I'm sorry to say that if we've waited 25 years since a Superman movie (note: I consider III and IV as mere BS) just to get a "vague history" with a mediocre to awfully bad cast... I'll be the first one to just DL this from BitTorrent just for WB and Singer NOT getting my friggin' money.

I've already been 21 years with an open mind with Superman and I've never got anything more that CRAP. You know... it gets a little tiring.

Let me see... Michael Mann, Chris Columbus... yep, better suited for this movie than Singer (a guy that has only done dark stuff... I must say none of his previous work demonstrates he can do Superman. He got hired only because he had done X-Men unfortunately...). David Franzoni, John Logan, Lawrence Kasdan... yep better suited that Dougherty and Harris...

BWHAHAHA.. where's that Joker picture?

 

[Alonsovich]

BWHAHAHA.. where's that Joker picture?

Yeah... it's sooooooooooooooooo great to be 20 years through a lot of crap to only get a sequel of a movie that was made 25 years ago... wow....

 

[Sverdlovski]

Yeah, and once again you choose to believe in 'insiders' reports than what Singer, Harris, Spacey etc have said...

 

[Alonsovich]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You crack me up. I based my posts on a quote by Singer dude. Look up...

 

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

dear god people... if Chris Reeves (god bless his soul) were alive today... he'd be running his wheel chair over you right about now...

just wait for some kind of indication... like a trailer... an official picture even, before making rash judgements!

PLEASE!

 

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

I've already been 21 years with an open mind with Superman and I've never got anything more that CRAP. You know... it gets a little tiring.

yup... kinda see ur point there... i went through the same thing with Raimi when Spidey 1 came out... i was soo soo pissed at Raimi for picking Kirsten Dunst as MJ and T Maguire as Peter Parker... the only stuff i was happy abt was Willem Dafoe and the casting of Harry...

i b1tched abt that stuff too... but look what happened... Spider-Man became an international blockbuster!

i think Singer should be given a chance... as Sam Raimi was with Spider-Man

 

[Sverdlovski]

First, your quote is wrong. Second, this is not a sequel, it's just not an origin story.

This is what Bryan Singer said in that radio interview:

"It's not an origin story. It actually puts the origin of the earlier films into a kind of, the best way I can describe it, a vague history, you'll see a moment of flashback, you'll see a bit of him as a young man, but no, this really takes off several years after he's arrived, that he's done many hero deeds, he's already a known figure... it's kinda like the first Batman film, I guess it's the best analogy, because Batman already existed, he was part of Gotham City... and here Superman existed in Metropolis, had a relation of a kind with Lois Lane and is now gone. This is a story of a return."

Get your facts straight.

 

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

btw... my thread got merged with this one...
[now its all mixed up] muhahhahhahahhaha... [crying]

someone answer the question put forth on my thread

 

[Alonsovich]

First, your quote is wrong. Second, this is not a sequel, it's just not an origin story.

This is what Bryan Singer said in that radio interview:




Get your facts straight.

How did I get wrong the quote? As far as I remember Singer DID say this, which is what I posted and you also posted it:

"No, this is not an origin story. It actually puts the origin, the earlier films into a kind of, uh, the best way I can describe it is “vague history."

Key word: Earlier Films.

Excuse me... Where does Singer say this is NOT a sequel? Because last I checked, any film that follows vaguely or not earlier films is nothing more that a sequel... and anything that the director or the screenwriter to make it seem awesome and all that bullcrap is nothing more that that... bullcrap. I repeat: show me one single quote by Singer where he says textually that this is not a sequel. Stop having blind faith and kissing Singer and WB's asses...
