There are many things that I have to say about what I saw Thursday night during Smallville. I have known that there was going to be a Superman Returns movie since debut of Smallville Season 1. The idea of bringing back another actor to take the place of an icon like Christopher Reeve that does not resemble him in any way is disgusting. Plus the idea to say that this movie takes place after Superman 2 and for us to forget 3 and 4 like it never happened is a total disrespect for Christopher Reeves work. I know that the last 2 of his films weren?t good, but in fairness it was his work. From the trailer I can say that it was great to hear the voice of Jor-El played by the late Marlon Brando with the Planet krypton track. The rest of the trailer reminded me old comic trailers like batman begins, daredevil and so on. But the scene at the end when the showed Superman above earth dashing into it destroyed what Superman means to the rest of us. Not to mention that this exact scene was done in the Matrix Reloaded when Neo goes up to the clouds and storms down. What is this about? I know there are people syked up about this right now but it?s because of the special effects and that?s about it. You don?t know or care about Superman just like the director Brian Singer, a man who at comic-con didn?t know anything about the comics or the characters names. A man who made 2 crappy x-men movies just to get wolverines claws right. All you people who say that the old movies had bad effects and so on, but defending it by saying they were great are just NBI (Natural Born Idiots). You can say whatever you want to me but I don?t care about you, I only care about what Christopher Reeve left us real fans, and that is a Superman that can never be replaced by another actor or technology. Now if you are a fan you would know this too because I have been a Superman fan since birth and I have wide collection of Superman comics, and to look at these comics you can see Christopher Reeve in them. Now about the costume, the whole thing is also wrong to begin with. The S is way too small, and I don?t care about you people who are saying that his S crest was small years ago because if you look at how it was drawn it will still be the same size today. The S crest difference was color and design; he just got bulkier over the years. Just look at the Lois and Clark T.V. series; he started with a small S crest and what happened? People complained and made it the size it supposed to be. As for the costume, Brian says it has to be a different material. Now if he was a fan he would go to a comic shop right now and look at the costume and he will see that it hasn?t changed at all. So why change it? I know he is trying to make a Superman movie, but for all the wrong reasons. It?s funny how the world is today that they give people money to make movies that have no knowledge of what they are doing compared to a person who knows a great deal of it. Last I will say that if he was a fan of Superman since he was small he would not have done this movie to begin with. This is all a smokescreen about the amount of money the name Superman is going to bring just like everything else in this world, and they don?t care if it sucks or not because we all live in an age of marketing and as long as they make money nothing else matters. Now I know this movie is going to be bad but as for the followers who have already being sucked into this, I have to say you?re the worst ones for accepting this atrocity. For the fans I say watch the comic con interview and his blogs in these sites prepare to be horrendified. Bryan?s an asshole, that?s all I have to say.
