I saw X2 again this weekend and I must say I'm very confident in SR now. Bryan Singer is very talented; even more than Sam Raimi.

this article is funny.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13232850/
could we be in store for some big tracking on monday?
Access' movie guru Scott Mantz says the “Superman Returns†is “...the most hyped movie since ‘Star Wars: Episode III.’ The movie's been in development for more than 10 years. There hasn't been a Superman movie for 19 years. It has a reported budget of more than $300 million, making it one of the most expensive movies ever made. The hype is more powerful than a locomotive, but will the movie leap tall buildings in a single bound?â€Â
also mentions the buzz is becoming a "defeaning roar".

Damn! The signs are still there.
IMO, Spiderman is superior to most of the most recently released comic book adaptations, except Batman Begins, and critics agree with me on that.
I loved X-Men and X-2, and I think Bryan Singer is extremely talented, but not quite as much as Sam Raimi.

Not to look all anti-Superman or anything but its mostly the norm where movies have positive reviews start popping up till the mixed ones get in. They did the samething for WOTW where some of the critics were saying it had alot of heart and was one of Spielberg's best since ET. But later on when it was shown to public on the midnight screenings, the word was mixed and there were alot of mixed reviews coming in for the movie. Im not saying SR will be as mixed as WOTW but generally positive reviews are leaked to the public first. I still expect the movie to finish about 70% at RT, maybe even low 80s. But at least its good to know Singer did a good job so in case if the movie does bad, it would be the TW that would be to blame

By the way excel, that Boston Herald quote is not referring to the movie itself, it's referring to the gravity he gives the character of Superman himself. If you follow that sentence, it ends with "...as in one memorable shot Superman is seen suspended in space, his dusty-colored cape twirling, an ancient god come from the heavens."

Funny how I just said in another thread this same thing, that WB will do everything in there Power to sell this movie by posting as many positive reviews from Hyperbolic fans to sell this, that don't actually review the movie and I'm labeled Stupid for it.. Give an actual REVIEW of this and will discuss it further..

By the way, I'm not completley sold on the reviews yet. Boston Herald, sure. But bluetights.com, supermanhomepage.com, comicbookresources.com, they're fan websites. Of course they're going to rave the movie, no doubt about it. It's not like a Superman fansite will trash all over the movie, heh.

SR reminds me of King Kong. It will get big press hype, but more or less be a pretender compared to the lofty expectations the media has setup for it.
Still, it should reach around $285 million, but even so, that puts it $95 million off Sith.

Do you have any idea how many films have had awesome reviews and have tanked? Do you know how many films have had scathing reviews and amde a ton of money?
Reviews do not mean shit.

Good to know it's probably a great movie though. Dont expect many negatives reviews this early though, first off I dont think people are even allowed to post reviews yet and second critics dont wanna be banned from these early screenings by posting negative reviews, they'll wait when it comes closer to release.

yup like I said earlier and Killumanti said just now, dont expect bad reviews to kick in till its release dayy. There wont be many bad reviews but it will be how WOTW and Kong played out earlier with all the glowing reviews flooding out so early to build buzz, remember how all the Kong reviews had the critics saying it will beat out Titanic. Its nothing out of the ordinary
Still it will end up with 70% and more of the critics liking it

How its fanbase alone won't push Superman over $200 million.
