Today I went out and grabbed a bite to eat with a friend of mine I hadn't seen in awhile. My friend isn't the biggest Superman fan in particular, but he loves superheroes and he is a frequent movie-goer, which by the way is the life line of the business unlike little prick fanboys. Knowing Im a Superman fan, about 5 minutes into our conversation Im hit with this, and it's a god's honest qoute, Im not making it up..........
" Have you seen the new Superman trailer, the new Superman looks like a ***. Why would they try to ruin the movie like that "
After that I tould him the concept for the movie, how it is a sequel to the 1978 film. Another exact qoute...........
" That is the stupidest f-ing thing Ive ever heard. Why would you make a sequel to a COMIC BOOK film that is almost 30 years old. So we are going to get the fairy Superman again "
This scares me, because again, my friend is a MOVIE fan, first and foremost, and he knows his stuff. He knows good movies and good ideas. I know some fanboy will come try and put me into my place but just thought I should pass this along.
And take this with a grain of salt, but after my sister saw the new Superman trailer before poseiden, she dead on asked me, and I qoute, why the guy from Smallville wasn't the new Superman, because he looks alot stronger than the new guy, and he is better looking to!!!!!!
