Possible lame-ass movie coming next year?

[Zero Angel]

Too many quick cuts for me to see much of anything and I saw it in IMax. Most of it was just 'superman doing superman' stuff. At this point in the character's history, it's rather bland. Sorry to say.

Just wanted to throw out that it is a reboot if that wasn't clear. They're starting over, so for newbies, it's not "this point in the character's history", but rather the first point in his history.

For me, seeing epic things even from epic characters is always pretty darn awesome. I wanted to stand up and cheer when Superman caught the plane in the last one, and I thought that movie was terrible. To each their own though.

My guess is that it's supposed to look super cheesy, as an homage to Japanese monster and robot films. The people involved in making it, however, lead me to believe that it will be good.

Guillermo del Toro is an amazing filmmaker. And look at the cast:

Charlie Hunnam (Jax from Sons of Anarchy)
Ron Perlman (Clay from Sons of Anarchy, and Hellboy!)
Idris Elba (Stringer Bell from The Wire)

Something tells me that this is going to be loads of fun.

I hope you're right BD.

It's Del Toro with guys he's worked with before. I have confidence that this will at least be acceptable, and probably awesome.

2005's King Kong was Peter Jackson with "guys he'd worked with before" and in my opinion, that movie was the cinematic equivalent of a flaming bag of poop on the front porch. Of course your going to go see what everyone's yelling about but when you get there, odds are you're not going to like what you find.

Am I going to be that guy who goes to see what all the fuss is about? Of course I am. I'm just not going to be the guy who goes running outside willy-nilly and starts stomping it out. I'll err on the side of caution.

In retrospect, perhaps my reaction to Pacific Rim's trailer was a bit overly-critical. My choice of title for this thread follows suit. I think I'll change it a bit.

I think it looks like a fun movie to watch.

Meh. I thought it was pretty good. Not a masterpiece or anything but still a fun adventure movie.

You, overly-critical? Perish the thought!
