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

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?

Shakey Morbz Collier

this is the first trailer to make this look possibly good

They got to you too. :(

How many people can be pissed off in how many different ways by one quote? Let's find out!

And producer Christopher Nolan acknowledges the irony that Snyder is making a movie about the original superhero after making a movie adaptation of the ultimate superhero deconstruction in Watchmen:

"It’s ironic but it’s a very productive irony. You’re dealing with a filmmaker who has deconstructed this mythology and now has to reconstruct it. That’s a fascinating challenge for him... [Zack has an] innate aptitude for dealing with superheroes as real characters. That was what a new approach to Superman required. He understands the power of iconic images, but he also understands the people behind them."

hey wait, are we going to get slomo shots of young angsty Superman pulling limbs off of people, because I fully endorse that
