Nah, good for him that he liked the Spider-Man movies... maybe I should re-think my opinion of said films.
If you're going to let someone ELSE'S opinion determine your own opinion, that's plain sad. Really.
Futher more, I still don't see many reasons not to be pesstimistic.
When you want to be nothing but pessimistic, of course you're not going to see any reasons to be otherwise. In fact, you're probably ignoring the many pieces of evidence that show the film will most likely prove you wrong.
That's pretty close-minded really. Wait until you actually see the idea in context before passing judgment. Oh wait, that would be too hard for you.
Lois Lane is being played by a girl who looks all of 18 years old and she is the one who supposedly had this 5 year old child and is somehow a superstar journalist.
I can understand this.
Neither did Superman I, and it's generally regarded as the best comic book movie of all time, even better than your beloved Spider-Man movies, which seem to be inspired a lot by those films btw.
A supervillian doesn't have to be able to throw bombs or have 6 or however many arms to be a threat. If he can equal the protagonist in some way, he is a worthy villain.
From the clips, it looks like Lex's intellect and drive are more than a match for the Man of Steel.
Kirsten Dunst. Nuff said.
Kevin Spacey looks to be aping Hackman's Lex, which I hated.
Considering they are improving aspects that were admittedly lacking in Hackman's Lex, I'd say they're doing a pretty good job of making Lex worthy of the character from what I've seen.
It's a sequel to extremely dated 20+year old movies.
Wow, yeah, ok. Your close-mindedness continues.
Again, if it wasn't for Superman The Movie, it's doubtful you'd be named I SEE SPIDEY and bashing anything other than the Spidey movies on some comic book movie forum.
The Lex land deal thing seems to be the same story as the first movie.
And Singer directed the underwelming X-men movies and didn't do very well in the action department and I pretty much am very underwelmed with him as a director.
Ok, fine. That's your opinion.
I and many, many others disagree. I personally enjoyed X2 more than either Spiderman movies and The Usual Suspects is simply one of the finest films in a long time. He has a damn fine track record for critical, audience, and financial success in his films.
More importantly, you can tell he puts everything into a film. He's had medical problems resulting from the stress he puts himself in to make a movie. He cares about the subject and story, and he is improving as a director.
Seriously, what is your purpose here? I never see you actually discussing Superman Returns. It's more of you waging some campaign to get people mad so you can compare Superman Returns -- a movie you haven't even seen yet -- to your beloved Spiderman movies.
You find the most lacking evidence to base your biased viewpoint on, and you already admitted you don't even like Superman as a character. Maybe I should go to the Spidey boards and find every opportunity to manufacture some unsubstantiated claim about how Spiderman 3 will suck and why. I won't do that, but maybe it would show you what you're doing.
Howard says the 2+ hours didn't seem to bother him since he was blown away by the film.
