Dude, you would be too if you were directing this huge, blockbuster movie and then jetting over and guest directing King Kong.

Quote from: GhostboyI swear to god, you could photoshop Max Fischer's face over Routh's in that last photo and no one would ever know the difference.
yes, he is a bit too convincing as clark kent and not as superman.  he looks a bit like a superdork, james marsden seems like a better superman by comparison.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

a Teaser that runs over a minute... how much can they tease you?

They are starting to mix up the concept of a teaser, trailer, first look, etc... still want to see it... even though I'm not planning on seeing the new HP movie anytime soon!

All right.  Taking our grudges out of the "Harry Potter" thread and into the appropriate area, here's the problem I have with this teaser.  It's playing almost entirely on our collective fondness of Richard Donner's "Superman" movie, without even giving a hint of what the new movie brings to the table, besides updated FX and a dorkier Superman.  I, too, get the warm-and-fuzzies when I hear Brando's voice-over, and see the shot of the mailbox with William's score behind it... because THEY'RE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE ORIGINAL FILM!

Now I trust Singer as a filmmaker, and I expect I'll probably like this movie a lot.  But it really bothers me that they're banking on our nostalgia to pique our interests, rather than showing us what new, great ideas they had for the character.  A better title may have been "Superman Repeats".

And I'm sorry, but the shot of Superman floating in space looking down at the earth reminds me of that old commercial where the Indian cries when somebody litters.  There, I said it.

That's why it's a great TEASER!!... this is a teaser, this is just a heads up and it works.

I don't expect the trailer to be like this and if it is, then I'll be disapointed.

I think people are viewing this as a trailer, that's not what it is.
