It's infuriating to me that they didn't just start from the begining in the first place. I understand your anger whole heartedly.

Let go...Release your anger. Know the Power of the Dark Side.

Freaking Hellboy and F4 got a sequel!!

LOL! I just think that WB expect way too much from a Superman movie, and they just don't get this character at all. Also, the situation with the economy right now and the Nolan situation is delaying this thing right now.

 

[Showtime]

Check the domestic box office against the budget of both Hellboy and Fantastic Four. You'll find your answer.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Ugh, FF...

Thank God BB owned it that summer, money and quality-wise.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Isn't that cute, some people actually think that studio's only make sequels to movies with good reviews.

Thank goodness WB seems to have higher standards than some studios.

That's because HELLBOY and FANTASTIC FOUR made a lot of money compared to their budgets, and didn't cost as much to make in the first place.

 

[dark_b]

so WB has very high standars when it comes to superman and thats the reason why they made only one movie in the last 20 years?

or is that they just dont have any idea how to make a movie that would respect the source material and be for the masses at the same time?


200 milions for catching a plane,lifting a yacth and a krypto-island. ohohoho hight standards
if this was not ''superman'' it would not make 400 WW IMO.

without del toro,pans labyrinth and 3 oscars hellboy wouldnt get a sequel. plus a different studio made the sequel .

superman might not get a sequel .but WB will spend money on getting a new movie. and even if its a reboot in 2012 thats still very fast for a reboot next to batman 3 movies.

Many bad movies get sequels, that's nothing new. And then again SR was a risky bet; to show Superman's emotions and problems when it's known that most audiences go to the theatre bc of super-punches was a risk and it didn't do bad at all at the BO.

As I always say, I rather one good movie than 4 crappy seuqels.

Agreed, as evidenced by allowing Singer's SR to ever happen to begin with.

 

[myway]

Too often, a movie with one fatal flaw gets characterized as a trainwreck and accordingly, everything about the movie is considered to be wrong; SR is a prime example imo. SR didn't have any Supervillains to create a real sense of danger/drama; that's it!. Superman's the last survivor of a planet that existed thousands of years ago in a galaxy far away and people say it's antithetical to his character to have him feel lonely? He has to live a life hiding his true identity and people think he would never feel like an outsider? No significant amount of people would be saying this is Superman traded blows with Brainiac as opposed to fighting off another Lex Luthor Real Estate scheme (and a stupid one at that). I

 

[Steyin]

In all honesty, I'd be fine with a reintroduction of Supe's origins. It wouldn't take long, maybe 30 minutes max in a film, or could be done via scattered flashbacks. Besides, it could possibly help to set up Brainiac like the animated series, and I'm all for that. However, I don't care much for Brainiac and would rather see other villains, but I think it is time for a visual reintroduction that ties many things together for an arc of a couple of films.

 

[solidsnake86]

I dont even understand why people can't wait to see him in the costume, when nobody even likes the costume, lol. If it does come out in 2012 they need an origin.

 

[Chris B]

Personally, I think that if they're looking to reintroduce the character, going back to the beginning makes sense.

I think taking a nonlinear approach could really work, with the film starting during Clark's first day at the Daily Planet. Maybe have not know anything about his heritage beyond the fact that he is an alien. Which would be good way to tie-in Brainiac if he is the main villain.

The movie had more then one fatal flaw to me. I hated the characterzations and the fact that the movie was just plain boring more than I hated the lack of action or the kid.

I did, and yeah, F4 did pretty well moneywise, but Hellboy? I tried to find its home video sales but couldn't.

Agreed. At least SR wasn't another generic and formulaic blockbuster that tries to please the lowest denominator. It didn't please everybody, but it pleased a lot of people. Shame its budget was too large. Ugh!

Actually I feel soo lucky that SR was made. I still can't believe it sometimes. A wonderful and heartfelt Superman film. And looking at the reviews at rottentomatoes, yahoo, Amazon.com, etc, and to its WW BO, it seems that a lot of people liked it.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I think Hellboy did surprisingly well on DVD, and I guess they saw potential in Del Toro after Pan's Labyrinth's critical reception.
