SR is a movie...why compare real life people to the characters in it?

Dude...it was a ****ing joke.

Please, it won't even beat CARS!
SR will do GREAT if they were to market it, as a SUPERMAN I & II Spoof.

I wonder why a lot of forum users can't accept the idea of a SR success.
It's really funny. According with that people SR is the flop of the summer. LOL
Even here in Italy the SR hype is rising :up: There are only positive reactions from the general public.

SR is the most anticipated blockbuster of the summer. Live with that fact.
There are only few possibilities for a flop. He is Superman, not The Hulk!
:D

Only a review debacle with a tomatoemeter of 5% can change the fantastic SR fate.

I wonder why so few people accept that it could do not as well as anticipated. Hulk is similiar to Superman in terms of popularity. SUPERMAN FANS overestimate the selling power of Superman and are greatly underestimating POTC.
 
Because

1) Singer is a good director

2) The budget is great

3) The movie is long

4) The novelization is good

5) It's Superman!

6) The marketing is finally good: merchandise everywhere, pepsi promotion to start tomorrow, etc. etc.....

7) Good crowd reaction after the trailers

I wouldn't say that

what would be, POTC2? I think it will be great, but at this point, concidering X3 got taken out by a date movie, anything is up for grabs...

I think POTC2 is equally as anticipated yes.not saying anything is certain just that these rabid statements are kinda OTT

So is Joel Shumacher. Peter Jackson is twice the director Singer is. Kong didn't do hot.

2) The budget is great

3) The movie is long

So were Kong and Hulk.

4) The novelization is good

Arguable.

5) It's Superman!

King Kong is King Kong. Hulk is Hulk. Being an icon does not guaruntee success.

6) The marketing is finally good: merchandise everywhere, pepsi promotion to start tomorrow, etc. etc.....

Poseidon had great marketing. Look how that turned out.

7) Good crowd reaction after the trailers

Again, perspective. I have never seen an audience stand up and cheer for a trailer. I am willing to bet money that these "crowd reports" are overexaggerated.

As a Hulk fan, I'd still definatly say Superman is inherently MORE POPULER and cherished by people world wide. More of a positive role model for normal people than an 8ft, 1400 lbs. of an anger bomb with a pulse.

Still, Hulk is a huge icon...that has popularity among the general public from the TV series. The point is, even icons can fail (or at least not do as well as expected)...

If anything, Hulk's status as an icon hurt him. The general public's perception of him (a 6 foot tall, Lou Ferrigno-esque muscleman)...turned many of them off from Ang Lee's take.
 
IMO POTC2 will be great! I say that it will beat SR, but it will not destroy it.
If the reviews are good good, I can see a great success.

Since April I have read "MI:3 will beat SR!"; "X3 will beat SR!"; "Cars will beat SR!"; "POTC2 will beat SR!".

According to some people SR will be beaten by every movie.
Why do you hate the idea of a great success?

Do you hate Singer because he is a traitor of the XMEN franchise?
Do you hate Routh because you love Welling?
Do you hate DC comics because you are a Marvel fanboy?
Do you want to make love with Orlando Bloom?
:)

What is your problem?

Why are you so convinced it'll be great?
 
King Kong is like Frankestein or Dracula, you can't compare it to Superman.

Well, try answering his questions, and he might give yours a shot.

X3+date Flick+SuperSinger Returns = My Super eX Girl Friend

?

No one hates the idea,they just aren't as confident as others are

Do you hate Singer because he is a traitor of the XMEN franchise?
Do you hate Routh because you love Welling?

Do you want to make love with Orlando Bloom?
:)

No
No
No
No

No problem at all just a view that isn't wrapped in fanaticism

Frankenstein, Dracula, and Kong can all be compared. They are all well known pop culture icons.
 
I'm not sure, but I'm very confident that it will be a success.
We have only to wait for the reviews. I'm ready to apologize if the movie will suck.

But I don't think so...
Even the Fantastic Four didn't flop!! Wea re talking of Fantastic Four by Tim Story!! :D
With a budget of a tv pilot, with no action sequences, with the crappiest plot ever...and it didi quite well! Why I have to think that Superman will be a flop?

there is quite a bit more invested in this movie than FF. As pointed out by Hulk....this movie can be a success and yet at the same time very much so be a failure.

Matt, you know very well that it isn't the same thing :)
