I seem to recall hearing that Singer stated this film would be timeless or ageless or something like that i mean did he actually believe that statement and what are you guys views on such a claim?

Drugs are bad....mmmmkay.

But seriously, what is he supposed to say? I made this film, it's the most dissapointing movie in the last 20 years, showing no originality and a horrible story.

I highly doubt that Singer would say something that stupid.

 

[Super Kal]

again, something that should of been stated in the complaints thread...

 

[Super Kal]

I highly doubt that Singer would say something that stupid.

he did though... he said he wanted to make Metropolis with darker tones to give it a "retro" feel to it.

If drugs are bad then stop using them if you read what i said, I said "i seem to recall hearing" I didnt say it was fact if he didnt state such a thing then my apologises to singer fans.

No problem.

There are two sides, the side that didn't like the movie, and the side that deludes themselves into liking it.

It is largely timeless. This movie won't date as he used such a plethora of imagery from different eras. Singer succeeded.

 

[Super Kal]

I disagree... All he did was make it look like Gotham City with the overuse of black in the city

What part of this looked like Gotham city??? Gotham was much darker and there is much more to a film being timeless than just the city.

 

[Super Kal]

he made a very dark and dull looking city by overusing grey shades and black shades...

You want to make a timeless city, do what Peter Jackson did In King Kong

By re-creating early 1900s New York City?

no, by using color, filters, and certain hues to give the city a real "retro" feel.

 

[CGHulk]

Singer said he something like he wanted to make a good movie that in the future that someone would say after watching it, that was a good movie!

 

[Boiiinng]

If you want something to be timeless, it also needs to be placeless, but the overhead shot of Metropolis actually being Manhattan island ruins any sense of that.

Same thing I felt when watching Batman Begins. I was really digging what they created for Gotham until I saw the famous Chicago Times tower.

Directors, please, don't let famous imagery ruin your movie!!!

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Uhhhh I see NO similiarity to Gotham. None at all.

And what the hell does PMSL mean?

 

[Super Kal]

Gotham is dark and dull, and Singer's Metropolis was dark and dull as well... you couldn't see anything. Hell, you couldn't even see Superman's suit at night.


At least you could in STM

I don't think so. I think the interiors were bright and detailed, and you really didn't see much of the exteriors, except for the front of the DP, and it was pretty bright as well.

Timeless was one of the first things I actually said after seeing it to describe it to friends and family.

Superman Returns was a beautiful film.

 

[Super Kal]

it dosn't have a timeless feel at all... it felt like Gothem, just slightly brighter

 

[StarvingArtist]

Yup
