Back when it was released, I was a defender of Superman Returns. I totally agreed with all complaints that it didn't have enough action, etc., but I still thought it was a very good, well-done movie. Cut to a couple weeks ago when I caught it on TV, and it was SO MUCH worse than I remembered. The costume is laughable, Lex's whole schtick was ridiculously uninspired, and there's just this incredibly dull, sleepy tone to the whole thing. Not a huge fan of these "Everything Wrong With..." videos (they can be a little too nitpicky and above-it-all at times), but the recent Returns one is so spot-on...

Didn't mean to be so contrarian, Aggies76. Must have been typing as you posted. I definitely agree with some of your points, but the new-light in which I watched it a couple weeks back definitely didn't do it any favors.

^ Not a problem TCTTS. Superman Returns was full of flaws and I acknowledge that. The idea that Supes would leave Earth for that long was out of character for him, as was the Lois-stalking and the dead-beat dad bit, and I agree that the Lex stuff was stupid at times. But it was a Superman movie, and the nostalgia won me over in the end.

MOS will make me forget all about it, I'm sure.


And I must agree with you about the bad suit in SR. Cavill in this new suit just makes all the others look silly.

Wow. Official story...

http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/man-of-steel-sequel-underway-with-zack-snyder-and-david-s-goyer/

Apparently Goyer has been hard at work on the script for months now. What I'm reading/hearing is a late-winter/early-spring 2014 start for shooting. So it's looking like it'll take the place of Justice League (which we've known for a while is delayed) as WB's summer 2015 tentpole. If so, that's just a two-year turn-around. Which means, come summer 2015...

- Man of Steel 2
- The Avengers 2
- Star Wars Episode VII

Good Lord.

If anyone's planning on posting any reviews, please do so in the other thread. Think it's about time to finally let this thread go. As I read them, I'll post any notable reviews, or the ones from my favorite bloggers.

Brainiac in the next Man Of Steel movie would be amazing

In a recent video interview, Cavill said that's the one villain he really wants to see next. And he said it in such a way as if it were a probability, but then he kind of backtracked when the interviewer prodded him a bit more. Now, knowing that Goyer has been working on the sequel script for months (I've now heard even longer than that - as in might already be close to done), I think Cavill knows more than he let on. Plus, I've heard some other independent buzz as well. My guess is some kind of Luthor / Braniac team-up in a way, but we'll obviously have to wait and see...

TCTTS,

Thanks for all of the info you've provided on Man of Steel & other movies as well. At 40+ years of age, I seem to have caught a case of the AD/HD in anticipation of seeing this movie Friday afternoon.

A villain other than Lex Luthor or Zod would be amazing. Not that I have anything against either (and am SO psyched to see Michael Shannon as Zod), but there is a host of Superman villains to choose from and those two are basically all we've ever gotten.

Clancy Brown isn't too old to play Luthor, is he? That would be sweet.

I'll be watching Man of Steel in less than 11 hours!
