Superman Returns (Trailer and Discussion)

im that "tatanic guy"

and i think on imax anything is sweet!!!

well as far as im concerned...

so i dont blame you for saying that....

and what twist??

were you watching the same movie...

??

although i must agree about the re introduction of the storyline to the younglings...

but i know the story...

im not that young...

and im not theee biggest fan of comic movies... although some rock!!! ie. x-men...

but a B+...

well...

ill have to take your word for it as imax must have made the movie waaay more intense and blured out the mediocre acting...

I thought the sibling would be considered a twist. Most of the younger group of people have not seen the older movies nor about to do to special effects and all.

Did they seperate the story line that much? It's been a while since I seen the older ones but thought they did a great job bringing superman back, also liked how they brought Batman back even though most younger group would not find it as exciting as X-men.

On an interesting side note...


Superman Returns grossed only about $84.5 million in just less than it's first week. X-Men 3 grossed over $100 million it's opening weekend.

That might not seem to be that big of a deal until you look at their budgets. Superman cost $260 million to make compared to $210 million for X-Men 3. Despite a much bigger opening weekend, X-Men has earned only $228 million to date. That tells me that Superman isn't going to come anywhere close to making a profit in the theaters and will probably be lucky to break even after the DVD comes out.

So, will the next Superman flick (scheduled for 2009) have to cut way back on its budget? Or will the studio eat the loss and just hope for a bigger payday the next time around?

In addition how much did X-men 1 do. Look for superman 2 and so on to increase with the story line opened up for everyone.

Sibling? What are you guys talking about? There's nothing about siblings in the movie. You're refering to something else entirely. I guess I'll be nice to those who haven't seen it yet and not discuss it. But you know what I'm talking about.

and it wasn't much of a twist since it was easy to spot. I thought that's where they were going with it from the first scene he showed up in. Everything about him was the opposite of Superman... it was way too obvious to be a twist.

maybe they are talking about Lois's kid?

I did not want to make it a spoiler

I did not want to make it a spoiler
