'Reffering to the red text':

Do you like Spiderman 1 and 2??? Because, hell, they where essentially, poor, chick flicks... with hints of action.

Not really - I've watched them both once and thought they were ok, nothing great.

I'm more of a DC guy anyways.

Superman Returns is considered a good film so why no Singer?

Do you know what an opinion is? It might be considered a good film to some but certainly not all. I wasn't aware that everyone in the world who saw it considered it a good film. Because that is the only way that statement is valid.

Guess what, I happen to think it was a boring, dissapointing piece of crap. But at least I know that not everyone thinks the way I do.

lol.

I'm more of a Marvel guy and I believe that Dc have the 3 best hero films out... Superman (1978), Batman Begins (2005) and Superman Returns (2006)
 
this is all i ask...

new writers, Singer beef up the action scenes (i KNOW he can do it, just look at Nightcrawler's intro), and let Routh act more. i could care less if the suit is changed or if Routh beefs up or if Jason is still an important role. i just want a movie that revolves 90% around Superman...not his surroundings.

I can totally agree with you on Superman '78 and Batman Begins.
I was really hyped for SR, but unfortunately for me it was a big let-down.

Here's to hoping for a better sequel/installment though :supes:
 
I think that we are stuck with Jason wether we like it or not. But now that Singer has had his way there is really NO EXCUSE this time to make this movie be more action friendly & more comic fan friendly no excuse this time. There is still plenty of room in these Movies to introduce stuff like Lex Corp for examble
 
There is 1 possible way to 'evade' Jason - make a prequel film.
So this would be before Jason was born I guess.

[rant]One of the major gripes I had with this movie was that bloody kid. I don't care if he's cute and folks were gushing over him - I thought it was just too early to complicate Superman by giving him a kid right off the bat after a 20 year big-screen hiatus. I was a bit pissed when I found out that he was Superman's kid..hell, we get a Superman film after 20 yrs and boom, comes with baggage.. I want SUPERMAN not Superman & Son. [/rant]

If the majority considered it a bad film I would say that. Check rottentomatoes overall reviews. Just a general statement based on the majority. Sheesh chill. Even if Incredible Hulk thinks it is a good film he'd never admit it anyway :o

I think the majority think it was dissapointing. That is usually the word I hear from people. That is more what I meant, not that the majority thought it was bad. However, it certainly seems like at least half on this board thought it was bad.

I want complete dissasociation with the donner franchise. The past is the past, its time to move the heck on already.

Batman's doing it. Supes deserves it even more.

NO ZOD

Even though hes awesome and I loved the little munchkin. No jason. We don't need that **** yet.

Comics > Donner, as far as which makes the greatest influence on supes. It MUST be this way.

NO MORE WIGS. I NEVER had a problem with lex wearing wigs in STM until I saw how lame it was that he threw one at a little girl in Returns. Let's just not have that... none of that land grab crap either.

Kakarot said it and I agree, up the brightness. Up up and away. Its superman!!!!! He's not batman.

One more request. Please do the shirt rip well for this one. Spidey should NEVER have better shirt rips than supes. It's just wrong.

Sounds pretty good to me.

As for no more gloomy tone, YES! For those that do buy the DVD (I probably won't - i'd rather a better recut with the Krypton sequence in it). I can imagine viewers across the world reaching for the brightness and colour controls on their television.
 
Oh and uh let me add one more to my list:

Better DVD covers for next time please.

I will be...
 
I would love to see better writing and characterization. A lot of the characters came off as disingenuous at times and it pulls you out of the story.

I would love to see more of those trademark feats of strength.
 
i to want more landing and take offs, and someone who supes can whoop on, and a lil more futuristic metropolis.
 
By this point I'd take:

* A Superman villain who HASN'T been on the big screen, hence more super-brawling.
* Something done to make Jason acceptable that does NOT involve killing him off in any way, shape or form.
* More elements of the comic mythos thrown in (Lex using the remaining Vanderworth fortune to buy off any connection to New Krypton and form Lexcorp, STAR Labs, the SCU, etc.).
* Assuming he HAS to be in future movies, shove Lex behind the puppet-master curtain and keep him there as long as possible.
* Mercy Graves. :woot:
* Storyarcs born out of elements from previous classic Superman storyarcs.
* Paul Dini as Creative Consultant.
 
I believe the origin story has been done to it's best,unlike Batman(till Bale)
so we should move forward.

I think gaps from the past could still be filled in.The suit? still hasn't been explained.I read that Singer was going to show it's origins being of Krypton technology etc.I liked that idea as I always hated that Ma Kent made it.

Also flashbacks of Clark at 5 or 12 could be cool.First flight?
That sort of stuff.

But yeah,Singer is going to have to dig deep to get himself out of this one...
 
Well i liked SR so i would like a lot of stuff to stay, main things i would want are a villian who's is a physical threat to Superman, prefferably Brainiac, more action, no kryptonite and an even crueler and more diabiolical Lex. And hopefully a bit more about Krypton.
 
Singer finished off the Donner trology with SR and now I want him to make HIS Superman.

More action.

A serious physical threat/fight for Superman to deal with.

NO ZOD!

Probably use the fact that New Krypton is now in orbit around the earth to play on... Maybe link NK with the badguy for the film.

More SUPERMAN classic moments... Something the last film was lacking... Stuff like the shirt rip etc...

Its an ADVENTURE FILM! Lighten the mood a little... Dont bog it down in being too serious and dramatic. If you keep the film relatively light then the moments when you need the dramatic shift, it works alot more in your favour.
 
One thing i'd like to see towards the end of the movie, after being defeated by a foe in a couple of fights already is Superman get really pissed off and totally cut loose on said foe (Brainiac?)
 
No Singer

No Jason

No Sequel, Start over again!

Better structured story that ends in high note.... the reason why SR wasn't much a satisfying experience for some viewers was because it didn't end in high note. Audience was waiting for something 'big' to happen toward the end of the movie only to found out Superman 'fights' a rock, passed out and ended up in a hospital, after that he went and talked to his son and flew to the outer space... THE END. What kind of a 'build up' was that?
