You Want Superman Revamp? [Also the Man of Steel (2013) thread]

Why is this alien wearing a costume with a giant "S" on it? Because punching things! FIXED

How exactly did Superman get picked up by the cops?

speeding

David Goyer to write an Axe Cop screenplay that gives a realistic explanation for why Hitler is building a zombie army in space.

i'm ok with this

least promising aspect is more giger-y bug aliens. enough with that shit!

maybe zac snyder always wanted to film an alternate version of the sweet hereafter

(sorry)

They should have gone the whole way with the Giger vibe and just adapted this:

^would watch

Can't be any worse than Prometheus!

I was just saying the other day how I would watch Michael Shannon in anything, but I guess this film puts paid to that

So . . . kneel before Zod, I guess?

He seems annoyed.

Michael Shannon looks like the only redeeming factor in this trainwreck

Whoever it is they cast as Ursa is a pretty decent ringer for the one in the 1978 film.

So far no fast-then-SLOOOOOOOOW Synderiffic bits. So far.

idk this looks all right. shannon is worth the ticket price regardless imo

Snyder is incompetent as a filmmaker

NEVAR FORGET

"Tonight we dine...on mice!" -- come anticipate or at least acknowledge 'Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole' as directed by Zach Snyder

i wouldn't know actually. i've seen the first 25 mins of 300 and that's it

superman looks v superman-y, at least in the Christopher Reeve stereotype burned into my brain. idk. Sat through the trailer twice now at Iron Man 3 and Star Trek, kinda feeling like I could give this a shot.

i dug Watchmen. could give a shit about 300 or Gahoolio

but yeah Shannon is a big draw for me.

I don't think Snyder's technically incompetent at all. His movies are visually coherent and have a pretty definable aesthetic, it just happens to be a flashy and dumb one. Like, the problems with Watchmen or 300 aren't with the visuals or shot composition.

This actually looks pretty good for what it's supposed to be. Certainly the trailer is already better than the 2006 movie.

the 2006 movie

Let us cease speaking of this.

hahahaha

Like, the problems with Watchmen or 300 aren't with the visuals or shot composition

I have serious problems with his visuals. shot composition = eh okay. editing and storytelling-wise the guy is a disaster.

JF otm. we need to make a pact

editing and storytelling-wise the guy is a disaster.

I intensely dislike the movie, but how is 300 a storytelling disaster? It tells the story it wants to tell coherently. It's dumb, fascist and flashy, but it's not incompetent.

re: 300 you couldn't pay me to watch the whole thing. the fact that he treats comic books sources like storyboards is a huge problem imho. it signals a fundamental misunderstanding of how films work.

I forgot about Sucker Punch tho haha

tbh I don't think "because I don't like it" is sufficient evidence for dude being a storytelling disaster

"Sucker Punch" hahahahahaha I really cannot laugh enough at that movie

the fact that he treats comic books sources like storyboards is a huge problem imho. it signals a fundamental misunderstanding of how films work.

I don't think that's the problem with 300 since it's a simple story anyway. With a dense work like Watchmen it's a huge problem.

^ x 10000

the problem with 300 is that it wasn't just "THIS... IS... SPARTA! *kick*" on a 45 minute loop

Will this do?
