To use the same John Williams theme, Marlon Brandon cameos, to continue from the original movies storyline and background tidbits, to make a Clark Kent that is fairly faithful to the Christopher Reeve version of Clark Kent.....
Props to Bryan Singer, he is either a genius or an idiot for doing all of this.
The negatives.... it reminds the audience of Christopher Reeve who might have been one of the most perfect casting decisions in movie history, it's difficult to pull an audience in when they are forever reminded of past movies
The positives.... there are an entire generation of young dudes who associate X-Men and Spider-Man with comics more than they do any old DC character, you now have some of the best elements of the original Superman movies and maybe kids who don't associate those with the past but still recognize the brilliance
I think the end result is it will work. I have never been 100% behind this Superman sequel, but it's one thing to watch the trailer, and another the movie. I think the movie will have enough compelling moments to distract me from any of these distractions that are easy to think about in a 60 second trailer, but hard to dwell on when you are watching Superman with 2006 CGI and a talented director who knows how to make a compelling superhero flick.
