Superman Returns Poster
May 16, 2006 | 4 Comments
So, I like it.
As a whole I’m having a hard time getting overly excited about Superman Returns. The trailers seemed unimpressive and I’m fairly confused about where in the Superman movie history it takes place. I know it’s not standalone, but I can’t remember is it between 2 and 3, or 3 and 4? Does the fact that it does occur in the old timeline mean we will not spend half the movie reviewing the origin of Superman? If that’s true I’m glad, because we’ve all heard it a ton of times, yet the trailer seems to show aspects of it, so I’m confused.
An additional concern for me is that I’m a big Marvel guy. Primarily I read and enjoy Marvel heroes and don’t associate well with DC heroes. Though, Batman Begins was a seriously rocking movie. I guess when it comes to movies, my lack of familiarity with the characters actually allows me to enjoy them more. For instance, I think Sin City and V For Vendetta are the two greatest comic book movies ever made. I didn’t read either of those comics until after seeing the movies… I also think Hellboy was awesome and I’ve yet to get to reading that series.
Getting back to the point, I think the poster is very cool. Out of the blue I find myself excited about this movie. I’m surprised about this, but glad. Marketing has won me over.
