reasons you don't want superman returns to happen!!
i may be the only one who is not happy about this movie, but if there's anyone else out there who thinks like me.... let me know your reasons, here are mine.
superman is my number one hero, and christopher reeve did a perfect job playing superman... i can't take someone as brandon routh to be the next superman after mr. reeve, second; i never liked brian singer's work... mot even in X-men. another reason is that if there's a very succesfull serie like smallville with millions of fans around the world, they change what in our minds is the story of superman's childhood.
In my opinion, I have to agree, that Christopher Reeve was the best superman, and in Superman Returns, I think people are going to compare Brandon Routh to Christopher Reeve. I also think Kate Bosworth wasn't the best choice, but we'll have to see how the movie comes out.
after seeing how much he looks like reeves, it might not be so hard a transition for the franchise. the acting is another story though, not to mention the plot. well' wether we like it or not, the movie is already being made... we'll just have to wait and see.
I'm really looking forward to it and I'm gonna trust them about the casting untill I see the final product. I do think Superman is better adapted in animated form but if they want to make it live action I'll pay my money to see it.
Oh and I also don't like that any actor who plays Superman won't look bulky enough to please me. Batman, Spider-man and the rest I can live with being nowhere near as big as they are in the comics but for Superman it feels wrong.
Im sure Im going to catch hell for this post, but here goes. I myself thought the Superman movies to date were pretty cheesy. Reeve was a (for lack of a better word) pansy Superman. Im hoping the new movie is better for me.
Re: reasons you don't want superman returns to happen!!
Yeah I also agree with you.I was against another Superman movie being made from the very beginning because like you said, Christopher Reeve did a perfect job as supes.To me he is the one and only Superman.There is no other.I also dont like Bryan Singers work as well with what he did to the xmen movies.Also the first Superman movie is by far the best comicbook movie ever made.Hands down,no contest.No other even comes close.Unlike with Batman,there is no need to restart the franchise all over again.I am elated they are redoing Batman with Batman Begins because all four of the Batman movies were horrible,but with Superman,as I mentioned,the first two films were awesome and magical movies so thats stupid to restart the Superman franchise. And after looking at the photo of Brandon Rouse in the superman outfit,I am for sure not going to see the movie.He is way too young for the role and does not have the looks of Supes like Reeve had.

Errr no.Even if he was still alive I would not want another superman movie made which I said way back yen when he was alive that I thought it was a bad idea.Because just like Bill Bixby is the one and only true Banner which is why I did not want a Hulk movie made because he played the role so brilliantly,the same goes for superman.Reeve played it so brilliantly and it was such a magical movie that it doesnt NEED to be restarted.Just leave it alone already.we dont need another superman movie.
You guys are way tooo shallow "I DONT LIKE THE WAY HE LOOKS!" Shut up! I dont understand how you guys can be so freakin SPOILED! You want perfect movies, Yes, perfect! Cause you guys go against the majority that liked the movie. Complaining about how an actor looks in Supermans suit is just as bad as RAPE! Freakin... i dont look like Superman but that doesnt mean i was going to skip Halloween... show some freakin slack you loathing crumudgeons! You know who you are!
Edit, I wish i could sit down with Mr Parker and piece of paper and show him how he is wrong and watch him roll his eyes and throw the table over.
I'll see the movie fore sure, cos its based on SUPERMAN....i wanna see how they've evolved from the old days. The flying, laser etes, etc etc would be great to see on the brigscreen with today's technology. I think that routh is as close to looking like reeves as you can get....he is a bit slim though....
