Superman Returns Why Don't Some Superman Fans Like Superman Returns?

[Super Kal]

he loves the character of Superman... and he has every right to be angry about what Singer did to his vision of Superman.

 

[Super Kal]

color wise, I believe this would be absolutely perfect... it's nowhere close as bright as the Donner suit, it's nowhere as dark as the Singer suit, and it still shows the colors beautifully, considering that specific shot was a very dark shot to begin with

 

[El Payaso]

As I said, some people, no matter how much we explain it to them, will never get it.

So, to be consistent with that... you'll try and explain the same yet again...

As far as crystal balls, I said this film would fail, and fail it did.

???

Ooooooooooooooooooooh, you mean the B.O. Well, better movies have had worse money success.

Batman Begins made as much as SR: Another failure?

While everyone was accusing me of having a crystal ball, and that the film would make more then Spiderman 1 or 2, I said it would not, and fail. And it did.

That putting two and two together.

Spiderman movies are focused a lot more for children. children tend to go a lot to these movies and most of times with adults, so that immediatelly add lots of dollars to the B.O. which - btw - doesn't take too much of a brain to realize it doesn't reflect a movie quality.

Sorry you guys like a lame film.

And you liked Spiderman 3. See? God created all of us equal.

There is a reason Superman 1 connected with the audience and is considered a classic. There is a reason the Spiderman films connect with the audiences. There is a reason that Spiderman 3 made in 3 days what Superman Returns made in it's entire theatrical run. And there is a reason why SR failed to, and will be forgotten within 5 years. It did not connect with the audience.

So that lead us to... what audience? Children and average Joe who don't know a lot of movies and cinema will prefer what entertains them the most, no matter if it's a masterpiece or some uber crap.

And it will be forgotten.

Maybe after the Singer's sequel?

Blame it on stupid theory's like it being released on the 4th of July weekend (many movies released on the weekend became the biggest money makers of the year). Blame it on supposed poor marketing, which I didn't see, as you couldn't go anywhere without seeing SR marketing. I'll blame it on a lame plot, poor takes on the characters, and a story that failed to connect with the audience. So far history has been on my side.

I already put the blame.

But most important: I don't care if kids and average Joes didn't like it. Good for them. I'm here for the quality of those movies not how much I'd enjoy to be on the right B.O. bandwagon.

 

[majemma]

BE CUZ IT WAS DONE SO POORLY it was overdone and booooorrrrriing!!!!! there was NO climax LOIS WAS a crabby b#tch with no personality!!! and superman didn't need to have two big slow motion "i'm dead ...no wait i'm not " scenes ...oh and they butchered john williams music!!! they plaeyd it sooo looong in the begining never letting the theme ring out !! garbage!!! and i heard bryan singer bet money with some college students that SR would be the biggest movie og 06' i guess he paid up

 

[buggs0268]

i'm sorry but to me this looks like something i would rent at a costume store. the boots, belt, and shiny material look very cheap.

That's funny. That is what most people said, and say, about the SR suit, well except for the suit and movie likers. But hey, it is the classic suit. That garbage they made for SR is not and looks like when the store ran out of the real costumes and tried to make one from pieces of other costumes lying around. And how can you say the SR belt or shield looks pro. The belt looks like some plastic halloween belt hung on with velcro. Oh wait, it is. The shield looks like some piece of rubber bolted in. Oh wait, it is. It totally looks hack. And now the suit liker and movie liker *****ing will commence.

 

[buggs0268]

i love both superman returns and smallville for the new passion they brought me. i never read a comic book while growing up, but these 2 presentations have made me fall in love with the superman legend. i have been purchasing superman graphic novels as fast as i can read them. so some may not be happy with these new forms of superman stories, but they have made me a passionate fan.

the new suit color scheme is far better than the rainbow brite colors of the old suit, in my opinion. its texture and materials also blow away the shiny and cheap looking spandex of superman 1-4 and lois and clark.

You know, there is an exact, almost to the word post like this from someone whom I believe is banned made not more than 2 years ago. Almost to the word. Hmm. Someone gets banned yesterday and you show up wiht your first two posts. Hmmm. How long to we have to put up with this mods? We know who this is. Starts with an S and ends with a P.

 

[buggs0268]

LOL, Ridiculous. You are ridiculous.

You realise what you are doing? You are schooling us over how you were 'right' over a MOVIE. You are insulting us ( "Sorry you guys like a lame film." ) over a MOVIE. A movie about a flying guy in tights, no less. How about you act like a normal human being, stop being so antagonistic over something that doesn't matter and you know, have an adult discussion? I have not seen one post from you that doesn't attack someone or paint yourself as some kind of message board martyr.

Lighten up. There's a reason the majority of people here don't like you. Because you won't let them.

If it doesn't matter then why are you arguing over it.? If it is over a MOVIE then why do you so passionately argue with people who don't like it. Don't tty this tired liker crap about how you are so above us, and you see it as just a movie, and for what it really is. If you did, then you wouldn't care. But no you come in all the time having a need to defend this film. Pot, meet kettle.

The majority of people here who don't like me are the people who feel the need to defend this film to anything that anyone who doesn't like this film posts, like you. And don't give me this "you want to have an adult conversation because I have seen you make a lot of smart allec comments to posts of people who don't like the film. Posters who you had no conversations to be so angry up to that point. Comments you made just to antagonize, and it made you look childish. And you started your first comment with me months back on a very antagonistic note. Something sarcastic about my mom I remember.

See for all of you newbies, these guys have a few techniques. This is one of them. When all else fails, they pretend it is just a movie. They pretend they are above it all, and only have had rational adult conversations about it. Pretend because they have a history of posting wild and rude comments right off the bat to anyone who doesn't like any aspects of this movie. So they do this 180 turn about as if they had never done anything wrong, or never posted anything antagonistic or negative about an opposing view towards this film. Guys been temporarily banned a once or twice for it. And they the worst insult is that they are above us all. Usually next in the playbook comes the lecture on what hate does to a person as an emotion.

"And they do the "no one likes you here" This board is divided between two people, although the movie likers will have you believe that the majority is those who love the film, and those who hate it are a minority. Not true. But they will point to the stupid polls. fact is a lot of the haters gave up on even doing the polls because whenever it doesn't swing the likers ways, key likers throw fits. But rest assured I do have a lot of friends here, and we talk in private because we feel that when we make coments in the boards, we just get attacked by the group we call "the SR Nazi's". It's all just a bunch of B/S. And they really hate me because I will stand toe to toe with them, call them on their B/S, and I won't go away. Once many of them cried that this should be a board for SR likers only. But that will never happen.

And I am sorry if you don't like me talking negatively about the film and parts of it in a thread titled asking "Why don'
t Superman fans like Superman Returns" Seems I am answering the threads question. Don't know why you have a problem with me conversing on the topic of the thread in said thread. Oh well, I will go on on why me, a Supeman fan, hates SR. If you look at the "SR is a hit" thread. I have posted twice for people who don't like to film to not go in there. There thread implies a safe place for people who like the film to go in and post why they like, without having to apologize. That is what the thread is for. I am posting subject matter on what this thread is intended for. And that is it. I don't feel I should be attacked for doing so. I have respect for the other side. At times I don't agree with it. And at times I really don't agree with it. Sometimes I question it. Sometimes I question the blanketness of some for everything and anything. But this is a forum and I can question. But I don't invalidate it, or the right to feel or think that way, even if I don't agree with it.

I don't come here to defend the film, I come here to stop the whining so we can all talk about it in a friendly way. I accept you don't like the film, and all I want to do is be able to disagree with you but still talk to you like a fellow human being.

The majority of people here who don't like me are the people who feel the need to defend this film to anything that anyone who doesn't like this film posts, like you. And don't give me this "you want to have an adult conversation because I have seen you make a lot of smart allec comments to posts of people who don't like the film.

And you started your first comment with me months back on a very antagonistic note. Something sarcastic about my mom I remember.

I have never said anything to you about your parents

My comments to 'antagonize' you are probably me just disagreeing with you. I can see you don't take kindly to that.

See for all of you newbies, these guys have a few techniques. This is one of them. When all else fails, they pretend it is just a movie.

It IS just a movie. You think it is something more than that?

They pretend they are above it all, and only have had rational adult conversations about it. Pretend because they have a history of posting wild and rude comments right off the bat to anyone who doesn't like any aspects of this movie. So they do this 180 turn about as if they had never done anything wrong, or never posted anything antagonistic or negative about an opposing view towards this film. Guys been temporarily banned a once or twice for it. And they the worst insult is that they are above us all. Usually next in the playbook comes the lecture on what hate does to a person as an emotion.

Who is this 'they'? Remember you are talking about us human beings here. We can't all be lumped into a group. Me and Showtime29 both like the movie, but for different reasons. I even share your opinion with the suit, but in different ways.

If you insist on separating those whose opinions differ from yours, then of course you're going to feel isolated and angry, because then it becomes more than just differing opinions, it becomes a threat.

"And they do the "no one likes you here" This board is divided between two people, although the movie likers will have you believe that the majority is those who love the film, and those who hate it are a minority. Not true. But they will point to the stupid polls.

You mean the polls that ask peoples opinions of the film and then represent those opinions in numbers? Yeah, they are pretty reliable.

fact is a lot of the haters gave up on even doing the polls because whenever it doesn't swing the likers ways, key likers throw fits.

There you go, lumping people into groups again.

But rest assured I do have a lot of friends here, and we talk in private because we feel that when we make coments in the boards, we just get attacked by the group we call "the SR Nazi's".

You know what the nazi's did? They attacked groups of people who thought differently from them. Kinda like what you're doing.

It's all just a bunch of B/S. And they really hate me because I will stand toe to toe with them, call them on their B/S, and I won't go away.

I thought you were the one who was criticising how other people felt superior to you, but you're doing the same thing now.

Once many of them cried that this should be a board for SR likers only. But that will never happen.

And it shouldn't. It also shouldn't turn into a place of hatred.

And I am sorry if you don't like me talking negatively about the film and parts of it in a thread titled asking "Why don'
t Superman fans like Superman Returns" Seems I am answering the threads question.

Since when was I criticising your opinion? I don't give a rats ass what you think. I sure would like to talk to you about it in an adult way, though. But I can't do that if you act like any differing opinion is a threat.

Don't know why you have a problem with me conversing on the topic of the thread in said thread. Oh well, I will go on on why me, a Supeman fan, hates SR.

Then I will go on about how I disagree. Am I allowed to do that?

 

[Cyrusbales]

I think SR is one of the better comic book movies of recent years. The first half of the movie is virtually perfect, with a focus on drama and suchlike, rather than mindless action. The close attention to details throughout add some extra layers, allowing the viewer to survey the entire frame and enjoy it's intricacies.

The action sequences and effects are obviously great, the plot itself was very much like Lex Luthor, he always was a land developer business like guy, so this is very apt.

The second half of the movie does lack a little, but the way superman is beaten by normal men is great, showing how ultimately, it's the people who make someone a hero etc.

I felt they should have dwelled on the "where has he been? where has clark been?" etc. He shouldn't just waltz back into people's lives, although it was good to see people moving on with their lives.

The kid is clearly a sore point, and was uneccessary and really should've been cut out as being a super kid.

I think people were expecting something more like superman 2 rather than a piece of dramatic cinema based on character play rather than action.

i'm not sure who you are referring to, but this is my first visit to this site. as stated before, i just started reading superman trades after watching SR and Smallville. i found this great site to further my superhero education and have enjoyed reading many of the discussions. i'm sorry to offend anyone with my opinion on the photoshopped picture. i just think the SR version looks better on film and the classic suit to comics.

Yes you did. and this thread is asking why we fans of Superman don't like the film. So if stating reasons why we don't like the film, which is what the thread asks, is whining, then maybe you have a problem understanding a theads subject. And furthermore, I am talking about it nicely, you just don't want to hear it. Another phenomenon I am sick of. We aren't glowing over Superman and it automatically becomes whining. And for the record, we call you Nazi's because you guys refuse to listen to us, and criticize us right off the bat because we are saying what you guys want to hear. I have yet to see a hater say they want this place just to be a place for people to talk about how they hate this film, but I have seen in numerous threads on this site from your side how the superman boards should only be for those who like the film. The haters should not be let in here. That is one sided thinking. Call it Nazi thinking, or call it a communistic approach, it is all the same. You guys have repeatedly stated this over and over again. The truth is, even if you deny it now, your past posts have stated such. You only want this board to be for people who like the film. And it has been posted from your camp a lot. sorry, this is a free country. You don't like my criticism of the film, then don't read it.

And I have a short fuse with you guys because of all the first repsonse attacks you guys have made to us right off the bat. The first time I ever had any interaction with you personally here was an extremely sarcastic response to a post I made on a plot hole to the film. In fact your response had nothing to do with a reply at all, just an attack on my character, and yes you did say something nasty about my mom. So I have never liked you. And you haven't just done that to me, but to others who don't like the film as well.

And I am really getting tired of how you guys claim you want to discuss this film rationally when many of yoru first response posts to someone who does not like this film has nothing to do with what the member posted, and is just a cheap shot at them, their character, or someone in their family. Deny it all you want, but I remember your first reply to me on anything here. I remember you getting banned a few times for the very same thing. So stop lying or pretending you never did it because you know you did.

And again, this thread is called "Why don't Superman fans like Superman Returns?" Anyone one here who posts why they don't like it, for hatever the reason, is replying on the topic of this thread. It may seem like whining to you, but they are giving their reason why, to them, as a Superman fan, they don't like SR. What you are doing is the opposite of what the subject of this thread is about.

And the reason I brought up why we don't like the SR suit, which yo consider whining, is because the very same poster who created this thread asked for the people who didn't like SR's opinion on it. He directly asked and I answered his question. My opinions were validated by another poster who felt the same way. So stop it with this whining stuff. Cause all you are saying is "you just don't want to hear the correct responses to the topic of this thread."

And I am also frustrated with the fact that you guys can't follow rules of threads for us to ***** about the film. You have quite a few members that do personal attacks without responding to the post or replies on the first respoinse. You have an idiot who is permanently banned but keeps coming in here. In fact, the ratio of you guys being banned or temporary banned for not following the rules far outnumbers the temp bans or permanent bans from the haters side. That speaks for itself.

And stop telling us how we are supposed to respond here. That is getting really anoying. We don't like the film, so that puts us in the hating the film catagory. We were obviously disapointed. But because we are posting what we don't like about the film does not make our discussion any it less valid. This is just what you guy do when you don't read from us what you want to read. You tell us we don't give our reasons on why we don't like the film when we have posted page long, point by point lists of what we don't like and why we don't like it. But you still tell us we aren't giving a detailed reason on our position when we have to the nth degree. It is frustrating talking to you guys because you do this crap, and then deny doing it. I have never seen more hypocrissy in my life. I can state that I have gotten raw with a few of you, but this reaction is only after I have to take quite a few raw cheap shots from you guys. It is a natural thing to not like someone when they right off the bat take cheap shots at you for posting your opinion in a thread titled asking for said opinion. And it hasn't been me it has been done to. It is has been to most people who don't like the film and have posted here. I have talked to them in IM and they all said "there is no point coming here anymore. We post why we don't like it, and they say we didn't. They tell us what we are supposed to think because that is what they think, then deny doing it, or accusing us of the same thing. They pi$$ you off, then when you respond, the first thing they do is run to the mods as if they did nothing wrong. There is no point in going there. They are being Nazi's about their opinion, and ours." I have also talked to a few film haters who had been on the likers side and would talk to some of you guys in private who said personally that you guys will talk in IM about ganing up on us because you just don't like the fact that we don't like this film. It is kindegarten stuff that you guys will never see yourself doing it. You want this to be Bluetights. You say you don't, but I know you do. I rarely come here now because it is pointless to do so.

I hope Singer makes a sequel. And I hope it blows just as SR did so that the studio can $hitcan this set of films and in 10 years do it again right. Say what you want about Marvel or Arad, but at least, even though Arad loved the Hulk, realized that the GA and a big portion of Hulk fans didn't and decided to do it right this time. And I hope that rumor that Warner's is waiting to see what hulk 2 does. That is the smartest decision they have made on this whole thing if true.

 

[buggs0268]

And as far as this other new guy, I still think he is Saph. How many times has Saph come in with a fake screen name. When cornered, said the exact same thing "I don't know who this guy is. I am not him." Then Excellsior has gone and done and IP address and found it was him. The timing of his first post in this forum and the amount he is posting defending the film all follows the past Modus Operandai (sp) of Saph. Almost word for word. Maybe I will contact Excellsior again to check on him, and maybe I won't. I feel bothering him twice in one week, even though he loved banning Saph, is a burden to him. He has got better things to do than to continually have to deal with some f'tard kid who can't follow the rules. So I will wait this out a bit. But so far, this new guy has said almost exactly the same things that Saph has said three years ago coming in here, and a few times in his various banned screen names. And the timing of his first post the day that Saph in another screen name was banned is curious.

I am life long Superman fan, I just did not like Superman Returns at all. Waited a very long time for a new Superman movie and what we got was disappointing. The reasons have already been mentioned by other members over and over. Just do a search or read the old threads, as I do not think people should be repeating themselves over and over and having the same arguement that seems to happen all the time on the board.

Im on the same page as you... I am a long time fan of Superman, and I have been waiting a very long time, and the movie that Singer made was not only a let down! But it was a total piece of garbage!
If people liked it as much as some on this forum or on blue tights think then why did it tank at the boxoffice?

Overall the movie was seen as a total failure by the majority of the movie going public.

And people don't go out to see sequels to movies they don't like... The SR sequel has zero shot at being even a tiny bit bigger then SR at the BOXOffice.

 

[Angeloz]

If "Superman Returns" was such a failure and made more money than "Batman Begins" then why is there a sequel to "Batman Begins"?

you gotta love this welcoming committee. i really don't know why i even bother to care about your odd claims, but i have never visited this site till approximately 2 weeks ago. my name is zac tidwell and live in tuscaloosa, alabama. i am 30 yrs and not childish as stated above. i have never been persecuted this way on any message board that i have held membership. if you still think that i am some reckless previous member, send me a private message and i will gladly give you my email address for further clarification. now please focus your attention on discussion instead of accusation.
