Official Man of Steel Trailer(s) Thread - Part 6

[Tim_Riggins]

Yeah, it is.

I like the trailers music esp towards the end, I find it does the same job as the original score and that is to give the audience a sense of ''hope''.

 

[BH/HHH]

Wonder why its not up on the Man of Steel main website yet, last time I was able to trailer 2 to my phone from there so I'm hoping I can do the same.

 

[4NutzinYoface]

I really like it too. It's uplifting and hopeful AND powerful all at the same time.

I also think this trailer has resonated so powerfully with the masses today because of what happened yesterday. I was just checking reactions on AICN and everybody loves it. And Harry had a good point: "And I think today, we all kinda wish for indestructable children - and the idea that just one could become SUPERMAN... well that's a helluva thing."

Uplifting and powerful indeed, good call

Also your avatar brings me much delight lol..it's rather hypnotizing

Felt compelled to post after years of not being active on here. Amazing trailer, blew me away. Still hate the costume and some of the casting choices but I'm very optimistic now that it will be a truly great Superman film.

LoL same exact deal for me! I haven't been on the Hype Boards for a looong time! But it was that beautiful red flowing cape and symbol of hope that brought 4Nutz out of hibernation!! t:

...huh...still can't believe I chose that as my screen name lol...seemed like a good idea at the time.

Just curious, do you hate the costume as a whole, or is there a specific portion you dont care for?

All that "giant octopus" talk and strange things that is seen in the trailer... I think all of that is gonna take place on Krypton. But can't be sure.

I doubt it. In the trailer, we get a pretty clear shot of what looks like Krypton exploding and Superman is pretty clearly visible in the giant octopus shots.

 

[Sharkboy]

Wow and as much as I'm rooting for IM3 to do amazing (Shane Black deserves all the money he can get to make whatever the hell he damn pleases) I honestly think this trailer outclassed everything superhero related this year.

Crossing fingers that it plays out well!

 

[LeMartien]

Zod is prisoner by whom ?

 

[Ita-KalEl]

Very beautiful trailer. Well made because it doesn't show too much. After it I want more, that it is what a good trailer should do.

The good thing is that more I watch it, more I like it, while the Superman Returns trailer impressed me at first, but then I found it, every time, a bit more underwhelming.

 

[Spider-Ranger]

Do we already know the trailer music?
Or is it Zimmer's score?

I'm loving it! It gives me the shivers!

It's funny, I was talking to my friend yesterday, and I was saying to him that it's interesting how Man of Steel isn't coming out that much later than Iron Man 3, but compared to the latter film's almost blanket coverage, with multiple trailers and TV spots and preview clips of whole scenes released online to the point where you practically know the outline of the whole film, Man of Steel has played it's cards relatively close to its chest. If you think about it, there's a lot we really don't know about the film and its story, with the previous trailers doing a great job at conveying mood and tone while giving away very little plot-wise beyond first act stuff. And I said to my friend that I liked it like that, and my anticipation for Man of Steel already eclipsed Iron Man 3 (which I'm also looking forward to), and all this movie needed now - especially after that cryptic viral video of Zod - was one final trailer filled with high-octane action and epic, sweeping scope, while still giving away relatively little of the plot, in order to achieve a marketing home run. Then this comes along and the deal is sealed.

There's the action and scope, alright. But there's also more of that heart and emotional wallop that I think is going to be the film's true calling card. And it could also be what elevates Snyder, as up until now he's made films that look very pretty but lack that crucial heart. The moment with Kevin Costner choking up as he says, "You are my son," had me with a lump in my throat. Everything is just hitting the right notes. Much like Batman Begins found a way to restore the traumatic impact of the murder of the Wayne's after us almost being numbed to it with how often we've seen it played out in the iconic characters' history, here we feel the resounding sense of loss in the destruction of Krypton, we get that human connection of loving parents sending their child away, never to see him again. Superman himself, often (unfairly) dismissed as unrelatable and boring, here feels relevant and compelling, as much like Begins made Batman the most interesting character in his own film at last by making us care for Bruce Wayne, this film seems to be getting us inside the head of Clark Kent. I'm a big fan of Michael Shannon already, and his Zod seems suitably menacing. And kudos to giving Lois Lane some agency beyond "pushy career woman" and actually have her embarked in a seemingly long-term pursuit of Superman across the world, trying to find the truth of who he is. It creates a fascinating new wrinkle in the Clark/Lois relationship.

So yeah, I'm onboard. The media blitz may get come, it probably will. But if we got this trailer, and then a media blackout beyond TV spots just using footage from existing trailers, I'd be fine with that. I want to see this opening day, on IMAX, please.

It isnt a particularly well made trailer (the music , how long it is , the structure , etc) . It also shows clearly we are definitely in Snyder's boundaries of filmmaking , which the other trailers kinda masked.

But looking at all the crap the genre is situated (and will be in the future) , this surely looks way more promising.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ I don't know, I thought the Rorshach death scene was pretty emotional. But in terms of consistency, this film might be Snyder's best.

 

[Keyser Soze]

The difficult thing with any Zack Snyder trailer is that it's not the best gauge of the quality of the film, as by now it is clear that Snyder makes AMAZING trailers, but the films themselves don't really match up to them.

Totally agree. Style over content. It seems the best stuff will be the Kent family stuff.

 

[Nathan]

I love the scope and epicness of it. That's what Superman Returns should have been.

the trailer isnt made by snyder.. there are houses that do that.. he maybe has some input but mostly thats all marketing...

i love that trailer.. it doesnt give anything away.. most of it is clearly act 1 etc,

So does everyone else like the small changes made t clips that were shown previously before? Things like:

1. Snowflakes being added to the shot of Clark trying to Hitchhike a ride from the passing truck.

2. A less saturated color scheme to the shot of Superman and Zod colliding at each other next to a building, with Zod's CGI double actually extending/raising his fist at Superman upon near collision.

3. The overall brightened color scheme to the footage.

He does make the best trailers. Watchmen with Smashing Pumpkins is one of my all time favourites and there were loads of great 300 trailers. And his Superman trailer is better than quite a few of the later Superman films in their entirety. If it can live up to this it might become my favourite Superman film.
