Quote: The reason superhero movies can have superior sequels is because sometimes origin movies just don't work. I don't want to see Superman's origin for the 100th time.
I dont know about this. Most superheroes have a pretty compelling, definitive origin story. After that theres a bunch of random storylines that to be brutally honest probably arent worthy of the big screen treatment. The alternative is that the filmmakers create something from scratch which is a real crapshoot. And to be honest i cant think of amny superhero sequels that were notably superior to the original movie. I certainly dont think its a general rule. The only problem with origin movies is that they tend to hit the same notes such that when you have a lot of superhero movies being made at the same time they can all blend into one in the casual viewers mind.
Quote: I'm not crazy about the casting (I liked Routh). I'm worried the Dark Knight-ish approach could backfire on a character like Superman. And then there's Zod. Haven't we been here?
I dont mind Zod. Its a little easier on the suspension of disbelief to bring in a threat that shares the same origins rather than coming up with some totally different superpowered creature, at least for a first movie. And i think theres a lot of ifferent ways they could go with another Kryptonian who sees things differently than Kal does.
Quote: I'll still see it and try to be optimistic, but nothing about this movie sounds promising so far.
Im a little worried about Snyder but i think the casting has been great. And i like the idea that the movie might try to incorporate a lot from Birthright which I thought was very well done.
