Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull Says MAN OF STEEL Is “the Superman Movie I’ve Always Wanted to See”

seriously...this better not all be lip service. I swear that Evil Dead is the last ****ing time I get burned. From now on call me Missouri, cause you gotta 'show me'.

I increasingly find that I have very little interest in seeing this movie.

I increasingly find that I have very little interest in seeing this movie.

I get that...the once burned, twice shy thing. But the chatter has been fairly encouraging. Do you, like me, not like the character? Or is it something else? I am willing to see this and hope for the best a)because I think Zac Snyder deserves better than he gets, and b)despite my dislike of Superman...I want this movie to succeed for superhero flicks and so that DC doesn't only have Batman to prop up. Not getting the lack of interest. Would you be MORE interested if the advanced word was negative?

 

[darby]

I think I'm maybe just tired of this movie. For years it's been who's gonna make it? When's it coming? Blah blah blah. We saw our first designs it feels like 2 years ago.

And all this hype and there's just never much story to it. The character is an invincible boyscout.

It's all just... meh.

 

[Dr. Naysay]

The character is an invincible boyscout.

The only thing more stale than most Superman stories is this cop out of an argument.

 

[darby]

Okay. But I don't care enough to find out more or make a more convincing one.

[orpheus]

Not liking the Superman character is just wrong.

 

[jerseydevil]

Oh, I don't know about that Orph. After all, Dc is to blame in a fashion. They have set up an almost playground like 'well, you can't like Superman, if you like Batman' vibe...culminating in the showdown in The Dark Knight(Miller's comic) which really lays bare the differences in the two characters. For me, Supes has always been alien unattainable and far too positive. Batman appeals more to the grimy nature of my soiled soul. I still want to see the new flick, but I have to side with Darby in the fact that I have never really been a fan of big blue.

Pretty much although I have to say my first exposure to comics was the Christopher Reeve Superman series and I loved those growing up. I still think Superman II is the best one even with the botched portions that Donner couldn't finish. Loved the villains.

That trailer got me riled up!

Phooey on you haters!

 

[chaingunsofdoom]

Looks awesome. Should be a good summer this year.

 

[BigBrown]

I don't really care for Superman but the trailer looked good. Nice special effects and cast is solid.
