You mean like in STM? Nah...they'd never rehash that in a new movie!
I'm not really expecting much from the score except for typical Zimmer stuff, so as long as it doesn't actually fight what's going on, it'l be serviceable enough.
Zimmer is consistent in that area. What he does is usually serviceable at least.
Well I know they're trying to distance MoS from the old ones but I don't think it's completely out of line.
I think so if we base on the Comic-Con footage.Yeah it seems a shame to squander Crowe on a few scenes. Krypton too, I wanna see more of that ****.
Wonder if they'll have Russell Crowe holograms in the FoS?

I actually am really enjoying the music. At like 1:14 when Jonathan Kent is saying "Even if it takes the rest of your life, you owe it to yourself to find out what that reason is", it really starts to build and get emotional.
The music itself feels like it's in flight, the rhythm of it. And then when the drums come in it becomes an actual superhero march. I'm digging it. It has a very exciting feel to it.
It reminded me of a high school marching band.
I know you are being more joking here than earlier, but would you give it a rest already with the Superman: The Movie comparisons and digs? We all know Donner's film was incredibly influential. Many of its successful innovations made their way into the comics over the last thirty years. Naturally, a modern Superman film like Man of Steel, which draws from a variety of post-Crisis interpretations like Byrne's Man of Steel miniseries, Birthright, Earth One, Secret Origin and Smallville, will have similarities to Superman: The Movie because Donner's take influenced everything that has come since 1978. However, all of those subsequent interpretations added things to the character that are missing from S:TM, like:
-A scared Jonathan who fears for his son's safety if the world discovers his secret
-Clark as a frightened child coming to terms with his powers
-Genetic engineering and emotional coldness on Krypton
-Clark wandering the world trying to find himself while helping people
-Lois chasing after a mysterious guardian angel
-Lex as corrupt corporate tycoon instead of a Moriarty-like supercriminal after land
Those sort of things will greatly change the overall interpretation of how Clark grows up to become Superman. Based on the evidence we have, this movie is as much a remake of S:TM as TDK was a remake of Batman 89. If you think otherwise, it is because you are focusing on superficial things like the framing of the shot where Zod vows to come after Kal-El or one line by Jonathan Kent after Clark being sent here for a reason or the presence of a Jor-El hologram in the Fortress.
Definitely happy that the movie isn't too dim at all.
Does Krypton explode at the beginning of this film? Or is this like the J.J. Abrams script where Krypton never exploded?
Good because I don't want that part of his origin changed!Krypton is shown exploding in trailer #2 while Supe's biological mom, Lara Lor-Van watches on.
No, I don't have to give anything a 'rest' because they aren't 'digs', they're observations and opinions just as anyone can have, and they're nowhere near as much as others have harped on over many other subject. You can quit being so over-sensitive to it, 'kay tiger? I already said that that I'm still looking at this movie positively and that even with these I'm hoping that it will be fun.
So give THAT a ****ing rest, thanks.
And enjoy the movie.
