#1 most antcipated score in 2006 is SUPERMANS

the man behing comingsoon.net's weekend warrior thinks superman will be the biggest film of next year.

What if the film sucks?

Then it sucks and makes 150-180mill,but what if its great?

There is no "IF" It's great because it won't be.. This movie WILL Suck because of the Christopher Reeve Curse and the fact that 99% of the human population consider this guy Clark Kent/SUPERMAN and no one else but him and because of this and because of Reeve being no longer with us, there is no demand or a care in the world if this movie is ever made.. You watch.. Remember I told you this and see how poorly this does..

well the script review said the script was "great" and i doubt bryan singer could fuck up a good script bad ernough for a movie to suck. hes no brett ratner...

stfu you don't know shit. go back to dissing Kong and leave Sups alone.

I was passing through Metropolis IL a few days ago and had to see their giant Supes

fucking luv Kevin Smith

what i luv is how el still hasnt responded to my post with the pics in response to his bout how superman has no hype outside of the internet....

Um why would I respond since all you do is throw your opinions about the movie. The movie has no real hype because its not as if people use PREMIERE magazine to gauge any hype. You havent listed any major publications that shows the type of hype Superman has. It has no Times Cover story. All you were using are magazines from Entertainment weekly and passing it as hype or very small articles from Newsweek
Oh and Superman was mentioned on a small article in People's magazine whoopee dee since all they cover is entertainment. Its not as though they dont cover movies at all

Ask anyone here, you ARE using your biasness and projecting it on anyone here

You do know that those two links you provided for USA today wasnt really publicity. The second link was the columinist basically saying hes looking forward to Superman and it was only freaking one or two paragraphs. The first link was a freaking joke because it was a survey that includes Superman in one of the question. How is that exactly big publicity. It has the same publicity as any other summer tentpole movies like MI3 or X-3

actually x3 or mi3 have niether had any big covers so far...and the usa today links showed it was mentioned, and the other showed it was tied for the lead in the poll. besides it was answer to what you said-it needs magazine covers, real and fansits covering it which it has. its not biasness, i proved you wrong is all. you said it had no hype and i proved you wrong.

Has anybody started a Superman Lives will gross over 300 million thread yet? It's going to, just so you know. Pirates is big competition, but I think it stands a bigger chance to let down, much like Men in Black II did.

i will, but not till after the theatrical trailer.

CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN
Routh says the costume provides a lift.

Dunno...singer says routh isnt copying reeves suerman, though he kinda hasto if he wants to stay true to the character. but luthors nothing like the old luthor.

Routh says the costume provides a lift?? Where?? In his crotch??

I would only consider Premiere and Entertainment weekly major magazines that you listed. You have got to be kidding me listing Wizard on there when I think they are mainly a sci-fi comic book magazine. Empire is a brit magazine. Besides Premiere and Entertainment weekly normally puts cast members for an upcoming movie on the cover. It doesnt quite qualify big buzz that warrants a 300 million gross. I also remember Batman Begins making the cover of Premiere magazine yet its opening was below 50 million

I have also illustrated that the Superman movies in the past has not shown it will make the huge numbers yo0u are predicting. I know the first Superman made 360 adjusted but the first Batman movie made abo0ut 410 million adjusted yet BB didnt touch nowhere near that gross. Even the second Batman made more adjusted than Superman 2. And please dont tell me that Superman 2 was not well received but its adjusted gross went about 100 million below the first Superman. You have not shown any indication where Superman will make more than most people predict here especially when POTC 2 is opening in its second week
I just find it weird that the arguments more than a year ago about Batman Begins fail because its a restart and the last movie before that was horribly received, the same arguments dont apply at all for Superman Returns. Yet its restart is in a much worse shape than Batman Begins was
We are looking at a completely unknown cast except Kevin Spacey. An untested lead like Routh (can you even imagine how he will do at all if he goes on the circuit doing interviews promoting the movie?), the comparison between the Batman movies vs Superman movies showing Batman leading by a big margin even if yo0u exclude 3&4 from both series). A character that doesnt quite have the mystique of Spiderman or Batman. How many FX has you seen has shown people flying compared to people shooting webs from that hands? The villian once again is Lex Luthor as opposed to having a cool villian like Bizzaro or Brainiac in the movie instead. From the looks of it, it looks like a complete remake or restart but when you look at the remake trend last year most movies barely made enough to break even with their budget (Bewitched,Badnews Bears, Kong etc) except for CATCF or BB but they still had 150 million budgets attached. If Singer avoids completely to retell the same story like Kong did and modify the story completely like BB, the movie would do a bit better because quite frankly we are almost watching the same 1978 version of Superman

Which is why I only used the first two Batman to compare with the first two Superman. Batman still wins hands down when the figures are adjusted. Unlike Batman Begins which is a restart, Superman Returns looks like a restart but instead of recreating the whole story like BB does, it seems to rehash the entire 1978 Superman movie. Look at how Kong turned out when it almost entirely rehased the 1933 Kong. They are even having the same exact villian as the 1978 version of Superman. I cant really imagine alot about the money shots that we havent already seen in over a dozen movies. Superman flies, Superman bends the railroad track, Superman diverts the missiles to a deserted wasteland. Lex Luthor implants kryptonite on Superman making him weak. See thats the thing alot of these stuff has already been shown in Matrix Reloaded, the Hulk and countless other summer movies. The thing that was interesting about Spiderman is it also gives us the first person point of view of the web coming out of Parker's hand or the detailed mechanical arms of Doc Oct. To me watching Superman again would be like watching Lois & Clark and Smallville with a bigger budget effect onscreen

El you got proved wrong and then contradicted your statement by saying batman begins had what you said movies with huge buzz have but batman didnt get too much money-why are you still arguing?

How did I even contradict myself? You were using covers for measly magazines like Premiere and Entertainment weekly to try and PROVE your point about Superman Returns getting alot of hype and buzz but I have stated that Batman Begins has also appeared on covers of those magazines yet it only had an opening less than 50 million. What part did you read wrong?

It seems WB are going after the kids. If SR ends up with a PG rating, I can't imagine it doing less than 200m. Even Fantastic 4 was PG-13.
