The trailers, yep. Same problems as Superman Returns, magnified 10X. Brooding, humorless, serious Superman in a drab costume struggles with his identity and fights General Zod. No thanks.

Well, you seem to have an awful lot of detail from a couple of trailers. It’s impressive, really. Almost as impressive as the knee-jerk idiocy I see on these threads. Fools jump on here, complain about the lack of new ideas in Hollywood, then someone takes a good story and puts a new twist on it, and they’re immediately shouted down for doing something different.

You act like they just stabbed your dog. If you like the Donner films, you have them. This is a new take on the story. Hell, how many times has the Superman comic been retconned? How many temporary massive changes have they made to explore the story from different angles (see “Red Son”)?

The nitpicky outrage on this site against this film is absurd. “If he doesn’t say this line just this way, then IT’S PROPAGANDA!” Maybe they just went a different direction? Maybe someone had some different ideas? Maybe you people should calm the hell down.
