I’m apparently the only one who thinks this looks fucking awful. The suit looks like shit which is a pretty major no no. The effects look on par with Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern. The casting leaves an enormous amount to be desired. I’ve never seen the chick playing Lois be believable in anything, nevermind good. The dude playing Clark looks like a teenager and the guy playing Lex somehow looks worse than Eisenberg which I didn’t think was possible, also looking like a damn child. They decided to full on rape the John Williams theme into something horrific. And that’s just criticising what’s in the trailer, not the trailer itself which is barely watchable garbage that gives way too fucking much information about the movie away.

James Gunn is hit or miss, rarely with a meh. This does not look like a fucking hit to me. This looks like a confusing jumble of a movie and trying to slap the same Guardians of the Galaxy energy to it. Please explain to me when the hell Superman ever had the same energy as Peacemaker or Guardians of the Galaxy?

This is a joke. It isn’t Superman. It’s a James Gunn self-congratulatory, masturbatory piece of garbage. This looks like shit. Just another cranked out Superman movie I’ll put on the shelf next to Superman Returns.

Also: how many bad guys can you shove into a single movie? This looks like 4 movies worth of bad guys crammed into one.

It’s like Gunn forgot how to write for an individual character and NEEDS an ensemble now.

This is going to be awful and I’m kinda looking forward to gloating when it is.

I also don’t find this appealing. I won’t agree with all of your reasons.

This being the 9th(?) live-action Superman is one of the largest contributors though.

Also, are you trashing this and saying you’ll still see it then buy the dvd?

No, I’m saying it’d be relegated to the same position on the shelf. Metaphorically. It looks like trash and I have zero hope for this when it’s giving me the exact same low-energy, low-effort garbage vibes as Superman Returns did.

I mostly disagree although I think Lex is miscast. He’s not too young, but I think he’s too small.

The cgi looked kinda low budget for a big $ film in 2025 and it looked like there’s going to be so many villains that the audience won’t know who to dislike the most, but who knows. It’ll probably be more action than story.

Love you buddy, but I (mostly) disagree. There’s a few things that I think could be better, like casting, but overall I’m optimistic. It feels hopeful to me. Kind of tired of the drab, downright dirty looking costumes and looking forward to this brighter color palette. And his costume looks like the costume of maybe a hero starting out, which is how I’m taking it.

Guess we’ll see! If I’m wrong it wouldn’t be the first time.

Looks pretty dope. Too bad my mom won’t let me watch DC movies after how bad Batman v Superman was.

Which one, the first or second one?

The first one was pretty bad although there was some stuff I liked about it.

this trailer tells me nothing. my only interaction with superman is some comics from the 60s, so i know krypto the wonder-dog, but since when is “there is a dog” something that you put triumphant music over?

In the day and age where trailer seems to be oversharing info in multiple trailers, this is good news to me. And as always i’ll stop watching any trailer after this.

Since today, LOL.

The general vibe here is that this Suprman is good and kind, and the trailer is directly tying that notion to triumph. We’ll see if the movie bears that out (and if it’s just generally any good). Watching the trailer, I assume there’s going to be a part either at the beginning or in the middle where a set-piece in the more muted Snyder-y action-y suit is going to go very wrong and provoke a period of reflection, but I assume he’ll accept his inherent cheesy goodness by the last act.
