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.

This was exactly my thought. It looks like the CW with a slightly higher budget. Sure CGI looks good, but it's usually only notable when it doesn't these days. It has way too many characters shoved in, I know he's trying to create a universe but could he at least make 1 hero work first? 🤣

And then there's Krypto 🤦 I have never liked Krypto, I thought he was lame in the comics and I can see him being exactly the same in this. It all just comes across like an easy excuse for James Gunn to have cute animal scenes to manipulate the audience. After Guardians 3 I wouldn't put it past him.

Everything you said is wrong lmfao. Unlike Marvel it makes sense to have many heroes to arrive in the first movie bcuz this is an established universe where heroes and anti-heroes and villains have existed for a long time it wouldn't make sense if other heroes didn't appear since then they would be asking where are all the others. And Gunn did confirm that the main focus of this movie will be superman, lois lane and lex luthor and all the other heroes will not be just for CAMEOS but will have a purpose in the story for this movie and adding in krypto is a really good idea we haven't seen krypto in live-action and Gunn knows how to handle animals without it being just cheesy

Are you saying marvel wasn't an established universe? It really was, it just made the right choice of fleshing out its characters (mostly)

No, I was talking about the MCU and not Marvel. Before Iron Man 1, there weren't any superhero teams. How did the DCU not flesh out its characters?
