superman

The studio decided to reboot the franchise once again after 2006's Superman Returns was meant with mixed reviews and relatively mediocre box office earnings for a movie that cost around $200 million to produce. Many complained about the cast and slow story line, although I was totoally fine with it. I personally loved it.

I was originally wishing for that cast to continue with a series of movies but I am now happy to see how this new reboot is shaping up. The darker look is great, and it promises to be much more action packed. Zod should prove to be a better enemy than Lex Luthor too. He presents a level playing field.

No way. This is Superman. Along with Batman, the most popular of comic/superhero franchises. Will it match the earnings of the Dark Knight? Of course not, but it can't flop. Even Superman Returns made about $160 million in the US alone. This one will likely do better.

Movies like the Green Lantern are destined for failure because they are the more obscure of comic book characters. There's very little fan base in these types of characters. I love superhero movies, and I didn't even see it.

I'm not a fan of Superman but that pic, and more importantly that cast list, looks great. I love Michael Shannon in Boardwalk Empire on HBO.

I agree with Kal-El this one won't tank. Too many Superman fans to crash and burn.

How badly did green light-bulb do?
