Superman Returns The Official Brandon Routh IS Superman thread.

I love it when people pretend that their personal theories are "fact."

funny but you know all i just stated will be true

i really don't see the movie making more than spiderman. it just doesn't sound like it will specailly with all the synopsis we have been hearing.

also routh will never be immortalized as superman, no one except reeve will be for a very long time

as for his acting career. he doesn't come off as an a list caliber actor that can differeniate roles. heck like i siad even reeve was not able to pull that off, as with everyone esle that follows

That's great. Unfortunately, restating your opinions in longer sentences still does not validate them as fact. Don't get me wrong--I don't like Routh that much either, but I'm open to the possibility that I may be wrong, and I'm not going to conjure up poorly thought-out opinions and pass them off as fact.

fact this movie won't beat spiderman. it just has too much going against it

fact Routh will never be immortalized as superman, not when reeve passed away less than a year and half of the movies premire.

fact Routh will never be in the same league as Reeve

Fact Routh's acting career ends with superman.for the simple reason as did reeve's.

did routh just kill your mother?
i believe you not gonna enjoy the next superman movie...
sad... plain sad. what is happening to you? so much hatre...

we are not asking you to be routh's fan and as a matter of fact, we are not his fan, at least not yet. but as a fan of superman, we do hope him can succeed, we do hope that he can perform as well as reeve and make the people believe again, in 'goodness', we do hope that the movie can truimph in the big screen...
but you... just waiting and wishing the movie to fail... what is inside your head... just because your lovely doll didn't get the role and you want superman to fail...
you make me really upset...

FACT......you have no idea what is going to happen.....FACT.
try seeing the film first and then by all means slate it to death.

Dare I say, you are not alone.

There ain't nothing like an athletic, muscular young guy without his shirt on, is there?

Or should I say, ripping his shirt open.

Damn, these boards used to be cheeky and fun...now they're just cruel and tragic.....

FACT: After Superman Reeve was offered Loads of big roles. Total Recall, The Running Man, Romancing the Stone, Hannibal, Body Heat, The Bounty and American Gigolo where all big films he got asked to do but turned them down.

I don't think typecasting is an issue anymore.

I knew he was offered Recall, but I didn't know about the others. Does this mean that Reeve's career didn't last long because of typecasting, or because of his own decisions?

Well, since he was the one who turned the roles down, I'd imagine he contributed to the outcome of his own career, no?

[Puckenstein]

I could totally see Reeve in Total Recall and The Running Man.

Cheeky and fun? I must have missed that memo.

 

[darkzombiemutt]

Reeve wanted to be in roles opposite of anything like Superman. He wanted to do strange films in fear of typecasting. He later admitted that maybe it was a mistake on his part that he had such an adverse reaction to the types of roles he was offered after Superman.

you think they are poor thoughts of opinon, no need for you all to get worked up about it. 2006 will state it clearly for all to see. so please don't cry over a non issue

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Infact he accepted parts that were so distant from the handsom hero.
See "Noises off" or Deathtrap.
Btw, for the "Nine degrees of Superheroes" Reeve worked in those movies with Michael Caine (Alfred in Batman Begins) in those movies. And with Michael Keaton in Speechless.

Fact - Welling will be forgotten by the masses as soon as Smallville ends

Fact - You get dumber with every post

Fact - You're not a Superman fan if you're hoping this movie will bomb

Fact - You like Welling's man-meat

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Fact - people who answer stupid posts with even stupider ones, look worse than the original poster....


In other news:
We should all hope this movie does well for Superman's sake above all else. Even though I find myself having doubts, I still hope it scores well. The character has been shat upon for long enough, a popular move along with an already popular TV series would be welcomed

fact is this is just a dumb post,and you are dumb to post such a reply

fact if you read my original post I said this movie will not surpass the original spider, i never said it would bomb in the box office. those are two different statements.

the last stetment I won't even comment. its like me say i t hink Routh is sucking of Singer, so please don't insult me.



final fact I don't need to prove my love for the character to you or anyone else.

 

[Thunder Emperor]

non of these are facts except the the fact he won't match Reeve as superman as the fanboy's wont let him.

that is true and that was what i was relating to


but the is also the fact that from what we have been hearing about the script. it will make lots of money but it will be hard to beat spiderman.

I agree money-wise it will struggle to beat Spidey but it could still be a better movie

 

[Crazymaverick]

You know, I hate to perpetuate another Welling rant, but how the hell can anyone go so far as to say Routh looks NOTHING like Superman and say Welling does? Welling doesn't have a square jaw, his nose is wide with constantly flaring nostrils, and his lips are ginormous. Superman.....doesn't.....look.....like....that. Period. He has in general hardly ever been drawn with any of those features let alone all of those features together. Sure an artist here and there may have put their personal stamp on their rendering of Superman by giving him whatever feature; but all around, Superman has thinner lips, a big square jaw, and a smallish nose sans raging bull nostrils. They chose Welling because he has a boyish face and would attract female fans because Smallville is Dawson's Creek but with Superman. Not because he was the spitting image of Superman per se. Routh's Jaw is huge, his nostrils aren't gaping, and his lips aren't nearly as Jolie as Wellings. Welling could very well be "an interpretation" of superman (he's not even superman, if anything he's the equivalent of superboy) but that's it. Routh fits that generic Superman look so much more, not to mention his voice is a hell of a lot deeper then Wellings.

Hear! Hear!
