I'm really hoping it's a 'hit'...I liked the other 4 movies (yes, even Superman III )

I'm looking forward to seeing it very much.

For me, the first Superman movie is the best super-hero movie ever made, I would have prefered it if Richard Donner had been allowed to finish Superman II.

Superman III was ok in parts but although Superman IV had good intentions, the final product didn't work for me.

I won't be seeing Superman Returns. I'm sure it will be a big hit and thrill the masses (mostly made up of people who weren't alive or too young to have seen the Superman films of the late 70's/early 80's). I'm just tired of Hollywood remaking the same films over every 20 to 30 years. I'm not saying the remakes are not any good, they just don't really excite me. Been there, done that, they've got better special FX and the film updated to work in today's culture (as opposed to what worked in the 70's).

I'm usually alone in these sentiments. Oh well. I asked around the office, and everyone is excited about it. I asked why and they all said because it looks like fun. I guess that's all that really matters - that a film be fun, and I'm sure this one will be. I think sometimes I just need more though.

Perhaps I'll go see "Superman Returns Again" in 2036, when they remake it again. By then, I'm sure the experience will be a lot better than just looking at the film on a flat, silver screen.

Ok, I'll shut my mouth about the remake now. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade.

BTW - I loved Superman III. Perhaps it worked for me because I was still pretty young (12 I think). There were cheesy parts to it (that I thought were cheese even back then), but I enjoyed the super computer thing and seeing Superman fight himself. The evil Superman should have had an evil goatee though.

Favorite Superman film was Superman II. The wife liked that one the most too. Never saw 4 - it looked really bad to me (from the commercials I saw). Never had interest in seeing it. Never saw Supergirl either. I kind of wanted to, but never got around to it. Supergirl herself, or should I say Foxygirl, looked pretty sweet too, if I recall.

To Todd: The movie "Superman Returns" has a (as far as I know) original storyline, independent of the original Superman movies. The reason why they are "redoing" it, is because Superman is one of the most iconic superheroes, next to Batman and possibly Spider-man. Spider-Man is doing great, Batman Begins was amazing, and now they are trying to kickstart Superman again.

Anyway I think it'll be good. My two cents, though.

From what I can tell, it's more of a sequel to the first two films than a remake. It does retell some events from the originals (because it's been so long since they were released), but much of the story is new. Basically, it pretends that the third and fourth films don't exist.

It looks like it will probably be good. We'll see soon enough . . .

This seems like it could be a good case study for a Tron sequel. It introduces new things, while paying homage to the originals.

Again, provided it's as good as I think (hope) it will be.

From what I understand it's Superman Returns and not Superman Begins a la the latest Batman movie because they acknowledge that the first two Superman movies were great (very unlike all of the previous Batman movies) and that there is no need to restart the Superman saga from the beginning again.

I've heard that this movie picks up several years after Superman II and assumes that III and IV never happened- which is fine by me. This is why Lex knows about Superman's fortress and what lies within. So Superman is not being redone, it is being continued.

Notice how they use the original music in the trailer? Why mess with perfection, right?

The trailer does have me stoked about the new movie, and Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor just screams to me that they are serious about doing this right.

Did I mention I look forward to seeing this in IMAX 3D? No? Well I do!where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

I'm with you Todd ! When I first heard of the movie last year I groaned. Do we really need more Superman movies? I love the first two, the second one in particular, and would have preferred that Hollywood simply let the series stand as is. Why not show the originals for limited 4 week engagements or something like that?

However when you've got a chance to make 100 million plus I can see why the studio's will remake anything and everything :^(.

Yeah...it was cheezy, but it was fun

Traahn Wrote:I remember having discussions as to whether or not there should be a Tron remake. I'm all for one. I was a minority for that. I wonder why everyone (except for Todd) is okay with what seems to be a Superman remake... ?

TRON doesn't need to be remade.

Superman doesn't need to be remade, which is why Superman Returns is not a remake, but a sequel to parts I and II. I really like the way they are approaching this as a sequel, which acknowledges the greatness of parts I and II and at the same time gives them a chance to forget about the iffy parts III and IV.

I've never seen Supergirl so I can't comment on it, though I hear the general consensus is that it sucked.

I wonder if the scenes they show of baby/child superman in the trailer are just flashbacks to his powers being introduced. Must be ... or they just blast through his childhood in 2 minutes to show his 'coming to be' superman.

Tron and Superman need to be remade.
