I liked the Bond trailer, but I'm still not sold on Craig at JB. We'll see.

I think it looks cool. It gave me the chills all the times that I watched it.

Crazymonk, did you like Hulk? I thought it was terrible.

I thought the Bond trailer looked cool, but there were no grand action sequences like that plane sequence in SR.

Yeah, I guess I just find the Superman mythology boring. Generally, I'm beginning to find all modern superhero movies to have the same feel, the same look (w/ the exception of Hulk), the same humor, etc. Yawn.

Yeah, I mean I can see your point. A remake is a ...

Yeah, I mean I can see your point. A remake is a remake is a remake but what's the point....

Still I was really wary of Batman Begins and I thought that one turned out pretty well.

Pirates 2 is going to be amazing.

I was kind of put off by the Superman trailer, too. It's not that it doesn't LOOK great (it does) or that the actors are sub-par (they're not), it's just that I am having a difficult time distinguishing this from the original. Why am I supposed to care so much about this? It's not like we haven't visited this story before - Superman is strong, saves city, Lex finds kryptonite and harnesses it to destroy Superman, Lois gets saved, etc. etc. I feel like I'm just waiting for them to hit all the beats that I expect them to hit. At least with X3, I can look forward to a new story.

Also, Pirates wasn't even on my radar, but that trailer completely sold me - it looks like a fun movie.

Okay, then what about the new Bond trailer. Now t...

Okay, then what about the new Bond trailer. Now that's a trailer! Can't wait.

Wha? Boring? I don't understand you people... O...

Wha? Boring? I don't understand you people... OK, I mean I get the whole Superman is a little vanilla thing -but don't forget Kryptonite. While on the surface he is just this ultimate "nice guy" I think a savvy director/writer would try to eek out a dark side within him; which I think would be really interesting.

You're that excited for MI3? Oh boy --I'll be surprised if that one's passable. I like JJ and everything, it's Cruise I've grown a little weary of, and I feel like this franchise took a wrong turn last installment. I think its going to take a lot to right its course.

I did like Lex a lot, though. He might just make ...

I did like Lex a lot, though. He might just make the film.

2006-05-02T20:14:00.000-07:00

I agreewith crazymonk. I thought the plane crash looked cool, but the rest just looked kind of boring. It looks like there are going to be lots of shots of people looking at "awe" and long, lingering majestic shots of superman floating about.

Not to mention, superman has always been a bit boring. He's invincible. The first movie was good 'cause we got his origin, the second was good because he became mortal, but the others sucked 'cause all in all, superman is kind of lame.

Lastly, they have a young f!@#ing kid! I hate that conceit in films oh so much.

So all in all, it looked visually cool, but I am more excited for M:I:iii, Pirates 2 (now that was a cool trailer), and hell, even X3.

Really?! How? Why?

2006-05-02T19:54:00.000-07:00

Really?! How? Why?

I honestly thought it looks boring.
