Man of Steel : Or maybe a commercial for Insurance of some sort
 

Seriously... this Trailer totally looks like a commercial for several different things depending on how you look at it



But it totally looks like something more sober and serious than any previous Superman movie... i'm not sure how to feel about it just yet...

The trailer, i guess, was supposed to make me feel inspired and hopeful about a humane story of superman... So i'm not really expecting Super Kickass brawling.

Although i WAS expecting that with superman returns and came back from it pretty disappointed with the whole thing...

...What's up with the Lord of the Rings soundtrack?

In the theater I honestly thought this was a trailer for a 3D rerelease of The Perfect Storm until it said Zack Snyder.

My thought process was like, "Man, people must really like Ben Affleck movies for them to bring this shit back. But why not Armageddon?"

EDIT:

BTW I preferred the Kevin Costner/Jonathan Kent version. This is the Russel Crow/Jor-El version.

As for it being hopeful/humane he's apparently going to fight General Zod in it so I expect this trailer to be about as accurate as the Dark Knight Rises trailers...

They do seem to be going for a Batman Begins-type origin story, though, probably, where a goodly portion of the film is given over to the development of his moral compass...

why do they keep doing origin story movies of headliner heroes like batman or superman.

these fuckers are cultural goddamn landmarks. I fucking dare you to find someone paying for a superman ticket who doesn't already know superman's origin. It is an unnecessary waste of runtime.

I disagree as long as this origin involves him training with ninjas.

What they should do is mimic All-Star Superman and do the origin in four shots and eight words. Could probably be done in less than three seconds without feeling rushed.

Superman is one of the five most famous people in the history of the planet. I think they can trust us to fill in the friggin blanks.

i don't think it's going to be a origin story... to me it looks a bit more like a "We all know who this guy is, so let's pretend he is on Retirement and Zod forces him back" story

I mean, the little boy from Kansas grows and goes to work on a fishing boat in the artic regions? That smells like Existential crisis to me...

At least no "Super Rape Baby" in this movie...

Bells, it's an origin story. C'mon man, we have the internet at our disposal. You could do a modicum of research before making a claim.

Jonathan Kent is obviously murdered by Joe Chi--John Corben, trauma, etc.
 

Yeah, it's like Begins, he wanders the world looking for meaning in being a superhuman alien, works on a fishing boat, trains with ninjas journalists?, etc. Eventually realizes he should punch General Zod in the face and according to a recent story about the movie "use steel girders like throwing stars".

From what i've read about i wasn't sure if it was conclusive... Like, i wasn't sure if at the beginning of the Movie he would already had been Superman on the past or something like that... guess not then.
