I think it will be a lot of fun. I am excited at the advanced buzz, and the sincerity. I am excited at the trailers. (I noticed this topic was banned at the JB Forum. I think I should stop checking in there though. It is unseemly of me to do so).
My one concern is that in this day and age, we've had some pretty cool set pieces/action scenes. In this movie, you only have Lex, and a plane crash so far. Other than that, I am looking forward to it. I hope it is really good!!!
My new policy is to try and be postitve. if I don;t like it, fine. If I do like it though, I am not going to be like "I liked it except a, b, and c" I'd rather be like 'I liked it especially a, b, c"

Welcome back, Thomas.
The interesting thing I find about Superman in other mediums is that new ideas are often introduced there and then eventually adopted by the comics themselves. Things like Superman flying, Kryptonite, the sterile Krypton, etc. They all had their beginnings in the radio, TV shows and movies.
Both Superman and Batman are very malleable characters who are able to fit into many different scenarios and still work.

Saw the TV trailer. First time I ever saw Superman in action and thought "cool". The action at least looks like something that stepped off the comic page, instead of me being very aware of a crane just out of camera range.
CGI may look fake, but it's a much cooler looking fake than the old fake-looking action.

Hi everybody! This is my first post here...I've been looking for another place to talk about this flick online since the place I normally frequent closed-off discussion on it.
As a lifelong Superman fan I'm certainly looking forward to seeing it, and early reviews have certainly been encouraging, but I'm trying not to get my expectations too high -- something that's easier said than done!

Thanks a million!
By the way, I don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but Jeff Wells has posted his full review of Superman, and it's pretty glowing...especially considering he's been down on the film the whole time.

I completely screwed it... sorry. I'm not good enough at this to keep it from jumping all over the place... the width dimensions keep changing, so my gif is never centered properly.
Hopefully someone else will know how to do it quickly.
