Dear Superman Returns haters like superbaby,
Stop acting like you represent all of the views of Superman Returns and all of the fans of Superman. There are many people who like the movie and as a matter in fact, a majority of people liked it, they just either
A. Don't post on this board.
B. Don't post on this forum period.
C. The movie has a majority of good reviews, a 76% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and has a 7.0/10 on IMDB.
There are some things you people have to know:
1. Superman Returns made $391 million from a budget of $204 million. It probally would have done quite a bit better if Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest did not come out the next week. By the way, Batman Begins made $371 million, less than Superman Returns.
2. Singer is going to direct the sequel and it is going to be a sequel to Superman Returns. DEAL WITH IT!
Now that, that has been said, the least we can do on these forums is say what we want for the next Superman movie. And don't say "Fire Singer" or "Singer doesn't get Superman" or "This movie is going to suck." We all know that Warner Bros. reads these boards and those kind of things are just going to phase right through them. "No Zod" or "Please put Brainiac in" or "No campy Lex" or "More action," things that would improve upon the sequel, that is what is going to get through them.
I'm going to nit-pick through the rest of your messsage now:
That's BS and you know that. A sequel to Superman Returns can easily introduce a new villain (which has been confirmed, but who, Zod, Brainiac, who knows). The plot is always developed in a movie (either poorly or awesomely is up in the air). And Superman Returns already went into depth on the characters of Clark Kent, Superman, and Lois Lane.
Unless the sequel to Superman Returns is as bad as Batman and Robin, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Supergirl, Steel, or Catwoman, it is not going to kill the Superman movie franchise. The movies I mentioned, THOSE are franchise killers.
And what about the people who found Superman Returns rather enjoyable. Are a good chunk of those who watched Superman Returns just simply ignorable? You can't ignore them just like those who hated the movie can't be ignored.
