El superman returns

[Xavier]

I don't care about anyone cause its 5 am and I'm a little overexposed to ze drinks, but who else thinks Superman Returns is going to be the fking biggest movie of 2006? The trailer has me so turned oun...

[Odon]

Agreed.

[Arjuna]

Agreed.

[Correction]

I literally grew up on the first 2 superman movies. I have high hopes for this one.

Not every comic book turned into a motion picture has me this optimistic (V for Vendetta looks to be not that good, compared to the original series).

[Maguspk]

maybe add a link to the trailer

Superman is going to own

[Eaglestrike]

I dunno the original comic that well, but the trailer seems to suggest Superman is basically "Jesus". Is that new to the movie or has that element been in before?

The digital effects in some parts of the trailer looked f'ing terrible when I saw it in theater (I could be wrong)

I was actually thinking the same thing, however I'll still give it props.

[Correction]

The connections between Superman and Jesus are not new, but they definitely aren't part of the original comic storyline. Superman's arc is more Hellenic than anything, evoking heroes of Ancient Greece like Achilles or Hercules, where godhood is given by birth but immortal glory is only earned by following the path of virtue in spite of all suffering, without the need for some resurrection myth.

I think the whole 'jesus' thing comes from the 2nd superman movie when he brings lois lane back from the dead, so to speak. Kind of a weak connection IMO, since Jesus can't fly so fast he can reverse the earth's rotation.

Yeah its kinda obvious. "They have the potential for good, so thats why I sent you, my only son." Come on it doesn't get much more obvious than that. It may be a good movie though.

[Carbon]

Wait.... I thought I was Jesus?

[Heian]

Wait.... I thought I was Jesus?

Jesus doesn't RMT.

[Idlepimp]

Jesus dupes

[Raivyn]

Jesus dupes

LOL

edit: bread+fish a gogogo

[cubone]

pleease someone post the jesus picture again 8)

anyways, Superman instantly HQs any of his snyths....
He DID turn an ordinary piece of coal into a shiny precut diamond

I dunno about the new movie though, its from the same guy who did both X-MEN movies giving the most boring action fighting scenes ever to be put in a comic book movie... "Hay Guyz, lets spilt up and fight in seperate rooms!"

So far with the awesome cast lineup...
Kate Bosworth as Lois Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor....the Dr Evil spoof from Austin Powers always comes to mind. I'd expect Danny Devito to come out and say "Hey Assholes! am MiniMe!"

What grinds me the most is how much the Superman suit got mauled

Uh.. did..um..Superman's suit crash landed on Castro Street?

[Lockecole]

Kate Bosworth as Lois

:D :D :D :D :D
