BlackFlagg 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 can't wait for this...but dunno if I'm really liking Spacey's portrayal of Luther, seems a little too over the top, hopefully it's not that way all the way through the movie....I'm probably just spoiled from Rosenbaum's performances on Smallville Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 Kevin Spacey hamming it up to the 100th power. It didn't grab me or make me want to see the film. I did like the casting of the other parts and the CGI looks better than some films but it didn't change my mind. Superman stays in the pass aisle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Kevin Spacey hamming it up to the 100th power. Well, to be fair, Gene Hackman wasn't exactly giving what you'd describe as a serious, dignified performance as Luthor either back in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justice 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) This trailer doesn't do much for me. I thought Spacey's Luthor was okay, but the "WRONG!" thing is just so... ugh. I hope that this doesn't hit CAMPCON 5, because if this fails, The Flash movie might not make it to production. And frankly, that'd make Baby Jesus cry. Edit: By the By, someone check out that map in the background when he says "BRING IT ON!". Some... interesting geography there.

ZGangsta 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Fucking A! There were some absolutely epic shots in that trailer. Superman arcing around the earth with the sun in the background, him jumping as a kid, the machine gun bouncing off him, floating with Lois, and the plane stuff. Amazing. As for Spacey. I love it! I was a bit worried he'd go too Hackman-esque until I saw this trailer. From the (albeit limited) parts it's shown, he has just the perfect mix of darkness and classic evil villian flamboyance. I don't know why but a lot of people seem to have this notion that Lex needs to be this cold dark emotionless buisnessman character. I think the more mad scientist/evil genius version of Lex works alot better. The 'corporate bad guy' Lex that Byrne started during Man of Steel always seemed like a crappy knock off of the Kingpin of Crime to me. The Lex from the Silver Age, Birthright, and the newest comics (althought to be fair, the OYL portrayl of Lex is probasbly a 'pre-reaction' to the movie's portrayl) always sat better with me as a foil for Superman. Besides it's SUPERMAN, a certain campyness better be there. Trying to make comic characters 'cool' and 'edgy' is what killed the creativity (and almost the industry) in the 90s. Routh looks absolutely perfect as Clark, and that Superman costume looks amazing in action. Oh yeah, and I loved the bit of business at the end. "Look in the sky chief" "It's a bird" "It's a plane" "No, look it's..." "You wanted to see me?" Can't fuckin' wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude, I hate you for the fact that you will get to see the film in IMAX. I can't wait to hear the Superman score in Dolby Digtal Surround at the theater opening night. Hopefully my city has a midnight showing on opening night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted May 3, 2006 I don't understand the complaints about Lex. He seemed perfect to me. Even in the cartoons, Lex has an over the top side. He is a comic book villian, over the topness comes with the territory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll still see the film and probably enjoy, I think I was just hoping for something a bit more 21st century then was offered in that trailor.

Man, I thought that was great. Those lines are so closely related to Superman they had to be in there. If they didn't have the lines there would be people bitching about it.
