X3:#1 Anticpated Movie

[Angry Sentinel]

Umm who outside of fanboys actually talks about movies that are 7 moths from being released. Oh, by the way, where is Xmens teaser trailer, thats right you arent getting one because Fox is gonna butcher this movie like the salkyns did when they fired Donner.

GOD... I HOPE YOUR WRONG!!!

If I've said it once I'll say it again, the suits at FOX concerns me more than anything else about this movie.

^Word.

Um, this is borderline trolling. You seem like you are trying to incite something here, and frankly, we aren't biting. So please, tone down your posts or just leave, ok?

How did I miss his post? You know I love me some trolls.

And if I recall correctly, quite a few of his talk-backers pointed out the fact that it was not the teaser trailer, despite what it temporarily said, it was a teaser site.

totally..

And he corrected his mistake in his talkback ( without apologies , which was rather rude imo..for him it seem that you needed to assume that it was not a teaser..)

I don't think they clash that badly with the wall colors... Now, their ties could be updated... wait. What? Oh... ...

I would have, but my smite button is on the fritz.

Sadly, even my own 60-year old father said "That kinda sucks" and my father is not one given to slang terminologies i.e. "suck". And he is a major Supes fan. So go figure.

That's what you don't understand : ok maybe in your theater , the superman teaser had a lukewarm answer , but but from what i know , the general public is answering very well to the teaser.. and it had a lukewarm answer generally with a lot of fanboys.


again , i am not a fan of superman ( not a major one at all events , and i loved it)

 

[Jan Irisi]

That's what you don't understand , yep the teaser had a lukewarm anwser with the fanboys.

but from what i know , the general public is answering very well to the teaser..

The reaction is mixed, with all segments of the population. As I said elsewhere, I saw it and the people I saw it with were more excited and enthusiastic about the teaser for Happy Feet. Some like it, others are more meh about it.

The reaction wasn't mixed. With regular audiences it was very spectactular and with most fans it had them foaming at the mouth. Only the typical die-hard purists were complaining.

 

[Maze]

well from the movie site that i visit,(a lot) and from the word on the street that i know the answer is very good.

look at the superman place on yahoo poll anwyays , that's not gratuitous..
And that's not a fanboy place ..

I wasn't impressed with the X3 teaser site, actually. Neither were any of my friends that I showed it to them -- at first they were expecting a teaser or actual footage, and then it was typically nothing and they were disappointed.

That response has been echoed on several other message boards that I frequent also.

Has it indeed? That's very interesting, as I've yet to see similiar responses. The X3 site if I recall, had moving graphics, orchestral-themed music, and a video reminding people of the point where the next film will start from.

In stark contrast, Superman Returns' teaser page was just a single page with the logo on it.

















And that's it.

And yet, you state the X3's site was "typically nothing?" Mmmhmm. Let's play fair.

Our responses are just as jaded then, since we're posting at a message board.

But I know you're going to "vouch" for your opinion -- I know your stance on SR. And quite opposite from your experiences, not strangely, I've been greeted to stellar reactions from the SR trailer -- not just from message board posters or personal friends but to many people in the theatre. As a big Harry Potter fan who's seen the film at least four times since release, the theatre reaction was immense -- cheering, gasps, clapping and much smiling.

Actually, I don't believe you are acquainted with my stance on Superman Returns. You may be alluding to my opinion of its director--but in actuality I am a big Supes fan. I own all of the Reeve films, about a dozen Superman and Supergirl comics and even the cornfest that is theLois & Clark DVD series. So I want this Red Sun film to work.

So when I say the audience reaction here has been lukewarm from what I've seen--such views are not being twisted and coerced by some personal bias of mine, or some demented desire to see said film fail. I'm being honest with my observations. Are you?

Well, with all due respect I doubt 60 year-old fathers will be the target audience for SR. He's probably an oldboy purist, and like many they are quick to discredit the film for obvious reasons (The suit sucks! Routh looks too young! Blah blah blah!).

Excuse me?

If Warner Brothers and Singer are wise they better find a way to draw those "oldboy" "60 year-old fathers" to that franchise. Let us not forget, that a large section of the core Superman fan audience is comprised of older fanboys, whether they are Reeve fans or not. Many of the critics who will praise or slam that film next summer will also be of that same generation.

Therefore, to arbitrarily dismiss such mainstay fans would be asking for an unmitigated disaster...a risk that obviously Bryan & Co. appear to be willing to take. God's speed to them...

I have nothing against either production. The first 2 X-Men films were excellent, and I have high hopes for the 3rd film. The SR teaser gave me chills - the music, Brando, and him darting off was spectacular. Not to mention how great the cinematography looked. I'm hoping the X3 teaser does the same - with Ratner, I'm sure it will be more exciting..............

 

[GothicPowerMix1]

They might want to keep "The Kid" Storyline OUT of Trailers & TV Spots & any OTHER video eh ?

People hate that more then the suit

This post is a response to LS last paragraph

 

[Jan Irisi]

The reaction wasn't mixed. With regular audiences it was very spectactular and with most fans it had them foaming at the mouth. Only the typical die-hard purists were complaining.

Hmmm, I must be imagining what folks, normal everyday non-fanboy folks are telling me. Some liked it, some were "meh". To me, that's mixed. And I did not see any of the ones who really really liked it "foaming at the mouth". To me, that reaction screams fanboy, not regular audience member.

 

[Milkman95]

^Yeah, but that's usually the reaction to most teasers - not much to see, so general audiences can't really form much of an opinion. It happened with the lame X2 and Hulk teasers.........X2 turned out great, the other so-so......

I guess what I'm saying is the teaser trailer doesn't mean much except to get the word out (good or bad) that a certain film is coming within the next year or so........

Jan, i'm sure that you saw all that , but where?

i mean you are talking about one place there?

Personnaly i know that a lot of places loved it.

 

[Jan Irisi]

I am talking about the one showing that I personally attended, and I have been talking to people, young and old, both in person and on the internet, of all shapes, sizes, and interests.

It was misleading. It had people thinking it was an actual teaser trailer, but in fact it was...just some re-used footage and Wolverine screaming from X2.

Yawn.

Funny, as I've seen you post indicating that you have little to no interest in the new Superman film.

So when I say the audience reaction here has been lukewarm from what I've seen--such views are not being twisted and coerced by some personal bias of mine, or some demented desire to see said film fail. I'm being honest with my observations. Are you?

Why wouldn't I be? Because my opinion differs from yours?

Excuse me?

Yes?

If Warner Brothers and Singer are wise they better find a way to draw those "oldboy" "60 year-old fathers" to that franchise. Let us not forget, that a large section of the core Superman fan audience is comprised of older fanboys, whether they are Reeve fans or not. Many of the critics who will praise or slam that film next summer will also be of that same generation.

The audience that makes a comic-book film successful is not drawn from actual comic-book fans, but a wide general audience.

And the usual demographic that watches action-adventure movies, such as SUPERMAN RETURNS, are mostly teenager and younger males. Old 60 year-old fanboys make up for a very miniscule amount of comic-book film's audiences, and critics are usually, for the most part, regular reviewers who judge a film soley based on the cinematic material. Fans judge it based on authencity to the source material.

Therefore, to arbitrarily dismiss such mainstay fans would be asking for an unmitigated disaster...a risk that obviously Bryan & Co. appear to be willing to take. God's speed to them...

You must not be familar with the production, as it borrows heavily from the Donner films and early Superman comics as you so nobly say are a requirement for older fanboys to enjoy the new movie.

Singer's retro approach, in not only paying homages to the George Reeves TV show, the Reeve films, and other iconic Superman stories (EXILE, KINGDOM COME, etc.), is very faithful. It also represents core elements of Superman's character and mythology in the form of Superman returning from many years aboard and having to deal with a changed world...a world very similar to our own contemporary world.

Singer isn't planning on "dissing" them, but the hardcore, old fanboy purists are in no way his main audience.

ok ..

About the internet i talked with a lot of people who have a lot of different taste ,(and again i visit a lot of website) and in majority they liked it .

So ,obviously i believe you but i dunno .. ?

I said fans were foaming at the mouth. Regular audiences were cheering, clapping and gasping. To me, that's exceptional reaction.

And I am telling you that from personal experience as well as talking to others, that the reaction was mixed.

Maybe it is regional, or maybe it was due to the phase of the moon, or whatever, but from what I have seen and heard, people's reactions were mixed.

wow....

If the back and forth DC(Superman) vs Marvel (X Men) tripe is this bad right now..........


THINK OF HOW MUCH FUN it is going to be in say.... APRIL...


ahhh I love these boards, not that I would encourage flameing or trolling, but I like the confrontational power two superhoer movies create.


Kind a reminds me of the Rock vs Stone Cold.


Both are going to be good movies If X men makes huge amounts in the box office DC Superfans will be calling for huge amounts from Superman Returns.








On some of the subjects at hand


The Site luanch for X Men 3 was cooler then theSuperman site which was ..pretty plane, most realized it was a teaser site not a site for a teaser trailer


The Superman returns Trailer showed off cinematography... and it looked pretty cool IMO

The X men Trialer will be dubed by hardcore Superman fans as playing to the lowest comon denominator..... that it is all action and blows the X mens wad so to speak to early.

X fans are gonna love it, it is going to be nashing high quality fighting and the stuff we have all been waitning for.

X men fans say the Superman trailer is boreing


Superman fans are going to say the X men trailer is cheep eye candy



The lines are being formed in the sad now

WAR

breaks out in March and April...bank on it!
