So you prefer a Spider-Man nothing like the comics, to a Batman that is dead on acurate? Pshh! Ok I now know not to take your advice in matters of taste.

what are you talking about???

i was saying the trailer isn't impressive, the visual and audio effects are not memorable --> can't drawing the audience attention --> can't give impact to the audience --> can't spice up the desire of the general movie goer to go and watch the movie in the end.

got that?

if spidey series's huge success is nothing like the comics--- i would like very much nothing like the comics for superman.

btw, i enjoy very much the spidey movies. and almost jeolous to death as a huge superman fan.

The Spider-Man movie turned into nothing more than a Hollywood churned bastardization of Marvels greatest to sell movie tickets and make money.

If you don't think BB or TDK can, have, and will captivate audiences.....your stone cold crazy!

You don't think TDK trailer was impressive? I won't even attempt to arguee something as ill concieved a notion, as you have in that statement shown me your terrific lack of taste.

My point is that you can sit there and tell me how much better the blatant basterdization of Spider-Man is in comparison to BB, which was made to act as a GOOD QUALITY MOVIE! Not just some block buster that everyone and their dog will pay to see as long as it has non-stop action, a beautiful and well known cast, and a story line that is somewhat similar to its origin. Batman was true to its origins, elaberated on those more so as to create an even higher standard, and recruited talented actors that could succesfully deliver what they needed to (Katie Holmes excluded). It wasn't made to just sell, sell, sell.....It was made to be good. But i guess as someone who is just part of the system, you wouldn't understand, so there is no need to carry on.

Now wait a minute. What was so bad about SPIDER-MAN? The film featured a number of talented actors, and was very much based on the origins and the comic book source material of the character. It sold, sold, sold because people loved the concept of Spider-Man when it was realized onscreen.

The new Batman franchise has taken just as many liberties with it's source material as SPIDER-MAN and the subsequent films did.

right, right. your taste is superior, noble and the best. the millions and billions others are commercialised, cheap and the cheapest.

btw, i enjoy batman 1 & 2 much better than BB. i mean if you give me 2 videos to rewatch; i would choose batman 1.

and i guess we might have watched the different bb2 trailer then.

Singer messed up. He thought paying homage would lead to nostalgia and lead to the return of Superman. Instead, he did not bank on fans being a bit clever and realizing that he brought Superman back with no NEW ideas.
Look at Batman Begins. As soon as Batman flipped over the card, people were already talking about the sequel. Nolan COMPLETELY flipped the script on the franchise. He not only did that, but he did it well.
Superman needs a director who is not afraid of taking a big risk and re-imagining Superman for the millenium. Kids will follow Bale's Batman over Routh ANYDAY! The Routh Superman just ain't relevant for today.

Superman needs a change and needs it NOW!

nolan ftw

no one forgets that.

it ripped off but it executed well. unlike... SR.

 

[Spider-Bat]

total revamp is what is needed. I agree. Singer messed up totally. He doesn't get comics or Superheroes, he lacks imagination, big time.

Time for a Comic Book faithful modern Superman.

It needs a director with imagination and vision, someone who can give it and the fans the respect it deserves like Raimi did with Spider-Man.

And a Super Villian like Brainiac would be great. I say he should be played by, Hugo Weaving.

He'd be perfect.

And Superman needs to be played by a MAN, someone about 30 years old.

ya, don't try to re-invent superman.

 

[Spider-Bat]

If they ever do get the guts to do something new with Superman, it'll be nice to see new designs for Krypton and the ship that Kal came in.

I'm tired of that Crystal look. It'll be nice to see something that looks like ship and not a chunk of ice.

Darkseid would be a cool villian too, maybe have him slowly come about then have him really show up in part 2.

Let's hope they can do this. There's more to Superman than donner.

They don't have to be afraid to have Superman look like someone other than Reeve.

 

[Spider-Bat]

ya, don't try to re-invent superman.

shut up and get over it. There's more to Superman than those old movies.

 

[BMM]

There's no need to be a jackass about it. Besides, I'm pretty sure superbaby was agreeing with you.

 

[bruce_kent]

Superman's Donner Films are Master Pieces, but the film of Singer are pathetic, in the 70 probably was a exit, but in the 2000 Superman I Think need urgent are re-imagination tipe Batman, the world's needs a heros for a new generations, not the old heros of the 70, probably the re-imagination is a good idea if the producers have respects for the comics, like Singer, but a new fresh style like Smallville, but have more fidelity of the comics.

Bye.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Bump.

I think that judging from the trailer Hancock's effects look pretty good.

Edited because I'm ******ed.

 

[dark_b]

What the hell are you smoking? Honestly, you must be kidding.

SR had probably the best, most realistic flight scenes in cinema history and the effects in Hancock look worse than Smallville.

the camera was to ''simple'' in the flying scenes.
the camera should move around superman more. and in close ups i didnt get a feeeling of speed. i get this with speed racer.

 

[BMM]

Bump.

I think that judging from the trailer Hancock's effects look pretty good. And name one fight scene in SR? You walked right into this one buddy.

And yes I know this is an old post but I'm still waiting for an answer.

What does a fight scene have to do with a flight scene?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Opps, I obviously misread that. Well it was late. lol Don't I have egg on my face. Apoligies Sun_Down.

Well, the first part of my post still stands. I don't see these awful special effects in the Hancock trailer, nor do I see them in SR. In my opinion the flight scenes in SR weren't handled in any special way. As far as excitement goes, I think Tim Story handled them better in FF2.

 

[SuperDaniel]

I`d do a reboot similar to Superman For all seasons and put Brainiac in it too...I`m actually writing a script for it...So far i got till page 15...100 more to go..LOL

I'm soon gonna start writing a Superman reboot script that I plan on making 150 pages long. Have to do a lot of research first.

 

[wellsy]

150 pages? I think that's a tad long (~4.5 hours).

100 is pushing it, and about half that would work well enough.

Unless you're padding it out with a lot of exposition and description of scenes.

a script is usually considered a page a minute so that would make it 150 minutes long.

Thanks, . That's just what I was about to say.

WB need to put together a great team / cast for a project other than Supes or Bats, but what I'd most like to see from them is a non Singer Superman film because SR was wank. Keep Routh, that is if this time he can actually get in Superman shape this time and not require another obviously fake muscle suit.

They need a director with balls for Superman, and Singer clearly has no balls.
We need Braniac, Metallo, Darkseid. That's all there is too it. There needs to be drag out brawls between Supes and similarly powered foes. Some frikkin action please! Heck, even the crap-tastic Supes IV had the big blue exchanging fisticuffs with a super powered foe.

We need a Superman movie for the 21st century, not another weak homage to STM.
Keep the theme tune, that's iconic, keep Routh if he can get some real muscles this time, but kill the rest of the cast and make a true comic book adaptation GODDAMMIT!
