Superman Returns Is singer messing with us?

[Nivek]

Why cant people simply accept the fact that this movie might not be what they're expecting?

I've been exspecting the kid since last year when it was brought up. I thought it was a strange new element to add, but I dont think it's going to destroy the film by any means. I just want to see the film, and this possible kid in the context of the story, before I damn it.

Come to think of it, there is a lot I know happens in this movie that the trailer did not even show in the slightest. I think Singer may be be holding back to keep some things interesting for us.

Discussion in this forum is appearing increasingly pointless.

Even if this review had been written by Roger Ebert or appeared in Variety it seems half the people in this forum would be finding some way to dismiss it, claiming it was fake or misinformation released by Singer and the studio.

Some people won't believe it till they see it with their own eyes... and many not even then.

I can accept that it might not be as good as we expect, but THIS bad? I mean what should we compare it to? Hulk? Fantastic Four? Daredevil? All these movies were at least somewhat enjoyable to the fans. If Superman Returns is indeed as bad as this 'review' says then I will be quite shocked.

As a Hulk fan, when all that crap went down with the Work-cut Leak, I was more furious that Drew/Moriarty only mentioned "Negative" reviews were coming in. Then everyone (or at least the fanboys exspecting it to be bad) assumed it was indeed bad, and the stain never went away.

I actually was very negative toward ang Lee's take on Hulk, and after seeing it, really appreciated alot of Hulk elements he brought to the film. It isn't as bad, as a Hulk fan, as people made it out to be.

its not that, seriously. The problem is that these "reviews" seem so suspicious. One earthquake after a whole new continent ? SPOILER!!! -

Spoiler

what about the wet finale ?

 

[millennium movies]

^ Thats pure fanboy behavior. I mean WTF? What do you people get out of giving it to him? Personal gratification as a fanboy, is that it? Let the guy have his opinion. From what i read in it he brings some very smart comments about it (NK system and credit card comment) and seems to know his material. I mean how many more websites do need to put up a bad review until people actualy start accepting this movie will not be the best thing to ever come?

That;s true, there is no way this movie could be that "bad"!!!

Unless someone seen a finished cut of the film, I am not believing jack. Scripts are always in a state of change in production. The writers were on set for that very reason.

Please don't think I'm saying the movies I mentioned are bad. They are just ones off the top of my head that I've seen others speak badly of.

LOL, who?
Oldguy&company?



Or Moriarty? Because he likes the Ratner version of the movie. I remember very well this board after the AICN review of JJ Abrams script.
Or people are totally insane and hate everything, or there is something wrong.

 

[The Kid]

no it's ok to say fantastic four and daredevil are bad. I'd agree with yu on that.

 

[millennium movies]

Unless someone seen a finished cut of the film...

Well thats what happened with the UGO review...

 

[Ita-KalEl]

Well thats what happened with the UGO review...

LOL!

 

[millennium movies]

LOL indeed, i just re-read his comment. My mistake!

 

[Nivek]

Well thats what happened with the UGO review...

Ever think that they know it's a fake because there isn't a cut thats been seen outside of studio heads, production staff, or the MPAA screeners?

 

[millennium movies]

Oh an unfinished viewing is possible at this point.

 

[Mentok]

Quite frankly, I don't believe Bluetights...

Thats fine.

First they try to discredit Moriarty's script review.

No they didnt, they said that its not the final script (which it turns out is correct) and that its not what is in the final filmed script.

Next we have an independent review of the film itself by a widely-recognised fan-site which corroborates what Mori said and adds loads of other details he didn't mention, and Bluetights tries to discredit that, too?

'The review' of a rough cut of the film was not even a review. I have never ever seen a review like that. Its a collection of thoughts, Thoughts that seem to come from the quotes from Moris script review.

Its a huge red flag that the 'review' was so negative and it came out after Moris script review.

The new 'review' does not give any more details other than what Mori has already posted over on the forums.

Frther proof that its a fake review? The failure to review key scenes that we know are in the film. These scenes are far too big to have been left out of a rough draft of the film.

Perhaps a class action lawsuit by disgruntled movie-goers who were misled into disregarding all the warnings might be appropriate?

Dont overact or anything. I am glad that two internet reviews of a film that is not yet finished are good enough for you to pay attention to.

Personally I need someone a hell of alot more stable and someone who knows exactly what it is they are reviewing.

No, we would believe a credible source, no matter what they said about it.

The point is, this latest 'review' is not.

Justin from bluetights also wrote....

"the "review" mentions things that were never even filmed."

 

[Mentok]

^^ exactly, things that were in the early draft that Moriarty reviewed.

 

[ohmshalone]

Thats fine.

not to mention someone who's seen the final cut

 

[VGPOP]

Why is there so much hatred towards this character?

Again I say, I cannot believe the lenght a person would go to boycott a movie.

It's not like we're electing a new president.

IT'S A MOVIE!!!

 

[Mentok]

not to mention someone who's seen the final cut

Well, yeah. That too

 

[Desk]

There's not a hatred for this character - there's a deep, abiding love, which is why people are so heated over the approach being taken with Singer's film.

 

[Desk]

Well, yeah. That too

[sarcasm]Suuure, because from what the UGO.com reviewer said it really sounded like he was going to be turned completely around by a few edits and some completed effects.

Yeah, he was really sitting on the fence.
