Re: Superman V
 

Interesting, will have to see how this turns out.
However for the meantime, Im waiting for Katie Holmes in Batman.

Re: Superman V
 

What a weedy looking Superman!! :erm:

Re: Superman V
 

Goto say, I liked 1, 2 scared me ****less and 3 was class.

I'm 29 now and think they needn't bother, Christopher Reeves was the 1 and only for me.

Re: Superman V
 

Personally I think the 'Death of Superman' comic series would have made a good film...

Re: Superman V
 

All in all am very happy with the reports am getting about this movie. :)
Just one thing kate bosworth looks Terrible with her hair dyed black
:disturbd: it just made me wanna cry than i saw a on set pic of her.

Re: Superman V
 

Didn't Margot Kidder, the woman who played Lois Lane in the films have a bit of a disfunctional moment and ended up robbing a petrol station or something?

Re: Superman V
 

I thought it was that she thought that the CIA were going to kill her. :shrug:

Re: Superman V
 

We've all been there...

Re: Superman V
 

ah that will be the curse of superman :cool: it's a proven fact
it's casualty list so far includes:

Margot Kidder - psychosis
Christopher Reeve - paralysis
Richard Pryor - multiple sclerosis

And alot more People besides have been hit my it you know.i just wonder
What poor Seoul from S-5 will cop it next

Re: Superman Returns
 

Good. 3 & 4 weren't that great, & there's no need to go from the very beginning again, so I think it's a good decision to sort-of follow on from 1 & 2. Sounds like Lex is more of a post-Crisis/MoS version too.


Should be good...The Director is Bryan Singer (X-Men 1 & 2, Usual Suspects).

Re: Superman Returns
 

i've just seen some of the plot and it dose indeed take Place after the events of the second movie.that can only be good news for superman fans around the world.

Re: Superman Returns
 

The Full trailer is now online at www.apple.com/trailers

Re: Superman Returns

it has the same feel as 'Batman Begins' - i.e. how it should have been done, if only technology allowed & marketing would listen :cool:

Re: Superman Returns
 

Wow that was amazing tall me that was real and not just some beautiful dream ! :D

Re: Superman Returns

Wow even better than the last trailer. I love youtube, means I can see the trailer at work, although without sound :(

I love the bit at the end where the bad guy attempts to shot him.

Really am looking forward to the film now.

Will watch it properly when I get home.

Re: Superman Returns
 

Anyone know when this is playing at Cannes :D so we can have a look at the first Reviews.

Re: Superman Returns
 

Are you all aware that Superman Returns will be coming to IMAX? ;)

Re: Superman Returns

Re: Superman Returns

Re: Superman Returns
 

Ya almost all the crew from the x trilogy moved to superman with him so it was going to be hard to make a good x3 pic.

Re: Superman Returns

my friend has watched the imdb clips very spoilerish. . .

Re: Superman Returns
 

Going to see it at midnight !

Re: Superman Returns
 

Tonight ????

Where, pray tell ?:confused:

Re: Superman Returns
 

I am guessing he means the first showing on the day of release....

Re: Superman Returns
 

Rats !!!:blush:

Re: Superman Returns
 

I must admit when I heard about this I wasn't sure if it was a good idea as Chris Reeves (RIP) would be a hard act to follow, but from what I have heard they have pulled it off.

I might go and see it after all

Re: Superman Returns
 

Ya i get the feeling that this is going to be one of the classic movies of all time :)
Something very special :tu: :tu:

Re: Superman Returns
 

Well my copy of the novel arrived yesterday and I am already 50% of the way through it. So far it is brilliant. I can't wait to see it up on the silver screen :)

Re: Superman Returns
 

first review I've seen - warning it has spoilers.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/reviews/superman-n.php

Re: Superman Returns
 

I've seen plenty of reviews over the last week from ain't it cool news, www.bluetights.net, www.kal-el.org, www.supermanhomepage.com to name but a few. Hollywood reporter had a review up last week.

So far its all been good though, every review has said it is a fantastic movie.

Re: Superman Returns
 

read same reviews. Future looks good for UK release :)

Re: Superman Returns
 

Re: Superman Returns
 

I saw this last night and thought it was amazing. I am a huge superman fan comics and everything else.

I think if they make a sequel it will be better of course, As this one had to re-introduce the characters and the world they live in.

Superman did use most of his powers in the film.

I personally thought Routh was brilliant as clark and Superman. There were a few occasions I was stunned because his voice and mannerisms were so Like Reeve it was scary.

Loved it 8/10

Re: Superman Returns
 

I dont want to watch a poor quality cam job of this film the only way to watch blockbuster movies like this is at the cinema.I dont understand why people watch the bildge tbh :)

Re: Superman Returns
 

Well I wouldn't say I watched a poor quality cam. I already have my tickets to go see the movie next friday evening.

Re: Superman Returns
 

so what did you watch then?;)

Big films like that need a big screen clear picture and good sound.I spent over a grand on my surround sound set up at home and have over 800 dvds some 600 I have not seen.I wouldnt give time of day to a movie that doesnt have 5.1 at least and clear picture.Some screeners have this but I have not seen a Superman returns screener release anywhere yet. Dodgy car boot salesmen make thousands of pounds selling stuff like telesync and telecine releases I personally do not understand this as most movies now are released on dvd only a few months after cinema release.Its my opinion im not saying anything against people who watch them I just dont understand them :)

You have now seen the movie do you not feel that will spoil your experience next week?

Re: Superman Returns
 

Well put it this way I have a DVD collection of over 300 as well as 6.1 Surround and big screen TV. I generally go to the cinema at least twice a month.

It was a very good quality TS which is a cam with direct audio. The picture was rather good.

No I do not think it spoiled my experience as I read the novel last week anyway. If anything knowing how great the movie is I want to see it on the big screen even more.

As I mentioned in my last post I have tickets booked to go on the 14th to see the film.

Re: Superman Returns
 

Some films just have to be seen on the big screen for the special effects if nothing else

Re: Superman Returns
 

Saving Private Ryan - first 20 minutes or so.

If had seen this at home first (even with 5.1 surround and large tv), it wouldn't have had the same impact as in the multiplex (imho)

Re: Superman Returns
 

I saw a Maven TS Version but even if you watch it on big screen with all the surround sound it wont change the story line :P

Re: Superman Returns
 

i have cam version sitting here on cd lol am refusing to fire it up til after i see movie in cinema thursday but thats just me. to each there own

Re: Superman Returns
 

I hope you mean the Maven TS as all the other versions are not worth watching as they are so poor.

Re: Superman Returns
 

Yes Maven one lol, well i have my ticket for thursday 00:05. Friday morning really. Can't wait. Bit too late for younger brother so taking him Friday afternoon.

Re: Superman Returns
 

Not everyone gets the chance to go to the cinema to watch everything they would like to. I don't get to see most films until the DVD comes out, or I download them.

Re: Superman Returns
 

just been to see it this morning 00:05 then 12:30 lol what can i say its been well worth following this project over last year.

Superman is back, not once did i look at screen and think thats brandon routh or thats kevin spacey all i saw was Superman and LL. The highest point of tension for me even though friends picked the boeing scene. ADMIN EDIT - (Russ) please do not post spoilers without warnings, thanks

Re: Superman Returns
 

Great movie, & a welcome return to the big screen for the Man of Steel :tu:


Good cast, especially the always excellent Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor.

Story's good, great action & effects, some cool scenes for Superman to use his powers.


One thing I didn't really like though (spoiler):

Re: Superman Returns
 

Just got back from seeing it - absolutely fantastic! Brandon Routh really channeled Christopher Reeve imo, and even the kid with the stereotypical American childs haircut didn't annoy me like they usually do :)

Oh, and I have to disagree with you Mick - I thought it was very clever and didn't see it coming at all :)
