I know that Superman gets a lot of flack for being 'overpowered', 'boring', and 'bland', but that's never bothered me. People say that Batman is easier to relate to, that Spiderman is a deeper character, and that Superman is just silly. Who the hell wants relate to a super hero? I want to BE a superhero, damn it!
The original Superman movie was released 17 years before me, and yet one of my earliest childhood memories is watching the movie over and over again, slowly memorising the advert order and learning the lyrics to the DFS promotions of old.
The last remake of Superman was... disappointing. It was too cliché, too underwhelming, and just not awesome enough. At the time I was still gripped by it, as I would have been nearly anything released with the iconic 'S' logo on its chest. Watching the same film years later, after the self-induced hype was toned down a whole lot, I realised that my own bias had made the film into something it was not.
CUE THIS NEW TRAILER.
I'm back to being a 4 year old, I'm back to being exited over the 'S', and I'm back creating a whole lot of hype for myself.
Trailers seldom give the true picture of how a movie shall pan out. They select the highlights, doing their utmost to rope in as many potential viewers as possible. But this seems...different.
Instead of giving you highlights, the trailer instead gives you a glimpse to the overall mood of the movie. The opening scene shows you breathtaking shots of Supe's collapsing home world in a way that's never been done before. It shows that the movie shall be going over scenes that have been shown to us before, but in a new light.
It seems darker, maturer, more refined, and God. Damn. Awesome.
I, for one, shall be doing all I can to see this on its release in the UK. I shall travel to London with whatever friends I can in order to see this in true IMAX beauty.
For me, this is the most anticipated movie of all time.
This needs to be done right, and it needs to be perfect.
And you know what? I think it just might be.
