Yeah it did. LOL. Honestly, reminds me of Guardians of the Galaxy more than anything. Surprised it wasn't directed by Gunn, because it sure does have that GoG feel from the space effects to the music track to the costumes. Only saw that one glimpse of Lobo played by Jason Mamoa. Looks cool!
James Gunn does not direct, but he will produce the film. Probably will do so for most or all of the new DCU. The franchise will follow his vision, which is partially why this trailer looks somewhat like his Guardians of the Galaxy films.
By that trailer? Definitely looks like a bomb in the making. Gunn has certainly shown he's got just one trick in his bag and keeps using it.
First, I was shocked that this character would be among the first films of the James Gunn era.
I enjoyed the Superman movie, but didn't like the version of Supergirl in it. The trailer reminds me of Andrew Garfield's Amazing Spider-Man 2 mixed with Guardians of the Galaxy. What do I mean by that? Too much preview for upcoming other movies and world-building for that, too little focus on the character and development. Don't get me wrong, it's just one preview and I know that, but I get those vibes from it and it looks heavily like GotG.
I think Gunn and Warner Bros certainly hope that it reminds people of Guardians.
I’ve heard that there will be four of those mini trailers. A new one each week. (Like the old Star Wars glasses at Burger King!)
I disagree I'd rather Zack Snyder never direct another comic movie ever again. Man of Steel gets bad reviews for a reason. It's not a Superman movie.
I think it was one of the best Superman movies.
Totally cool to have that opinion a lot of people agree with you. I love Henry Cavill. I just realized my post came off aggressive and gatekeeping and that wasn't really my intention haha. I just really don't like Zack as a director or producer.
I will say, the fight scenes were a bit chaotic, but that's about what they probably would be, with a bunch of Kryptonians fighting...I guess.
I enjoyed it a lot too and think he's the best guy to play the role since Christopher Reeve. The only thing I didn't like was the origin story with "they're not ready" and letting his old man die by a tornado. There was a nerd riot about him killing Zod at the end, but I thought that was a lot more in character than just standing by and watching his old man get swept away all because people won't accept a superman? That's also my favorite Lois Lane since Margot Kidder in the originals. Laurence Fishburne as the Editor was a great choice. And Michael Shannon was a terrific casting for Zod. Still don't understand why critic reviews are so low for that movie.
I love Henry Cavill and really appreciated his hard work and commitment to the role.
Yeah, he did, just like Christian Bale as Batman, got ripped for the role. Speaking of Bale, everyone forgets that the original concept for Man of Steel came from Bale's director, Christopher Nolan. He came up with the concept of the "darker" Superman in an IMAX setting, similar to the treatment he gave Batman. Studio even tried to get Nolan to direct, but he was the one who recommended Zack Snyder. Just like they tried to get Bale to play Batman in Superman vs. Batman which I still will never understand why he turned down the role if he's going to end up playing 'B Villains' in the Thor sequels. Batman vs Superman would have been better with Bale in the role for continuity (even though I thought Ben Affleck did decent job) and less attempt to bring it all together so fast. And the one casting decision that to me was the worst of all, Jesse what's-his-name as Lex Luthor. Still think that was a horrible decision. And will never forgive them for teasing me with Deathstroke in the end but never doing anything about it.
I’ll always feel that Zack Snyder was a bad choice. And the fact that the DCEU folded confirms it.
Nolan was a factor and I believe I read he didn't want to keep going with the role, but again, no Batman but you'll play the cheesy God Killer in Thor 4? Okay.
