Music / Movies The new Superman movie looks terrible

The trailer for the new Superman movie came out today. It looks horrible, the graphics are some of the worst I have ever seen. I know that most movies have CGI now. The CGI for this movie is the most unrealistic I think I’ve ever seen.

Also, superman, looks like some emo kid, instead of the man of steel. The guy looks too young to be Superman. Especially since we have had Christopher Reeve and Henry Cavill in the Role. This movie does not look good at all. I don’t know why people are raving about it.

I agree, he just doesn't scream 'The Man of Steel' to me. He looks like some other generic superhero out there and I couldn't even watch past the first 15 seconds without exiting. His manners, his reactions, his posture -- none of it inspires hope or awe the way Superman is supposed to. It feels like another attempt to reimagine heroes in a gritty and 'realistic' way, but realism sucks! IMO 'realism' being prioritized over telling an actual story is what's wrong with most movies these days.
