Yeah, just as everyone else has probably told you, but hey, I was sleeping, so what can I say. Anyway, the Superman Teaser Trailer is now live online and available to download and view.
So why am I not all over this like a hot rash? Over exposure. For we pretty much know all the shots and content from Bryan’s Blog and various other teasers around the Net. We’ve seen the looking from space moment in storyboard format, we’ve seen a man fly and leap short conrfields in a single bound, we know all there is to know about Superman. So there’s nothing eye popping or jaw dropping about what he can do.
The teaser itself doesn’t give us much more, a couple of shots of Routh to make us see that he really does look the part, and some cool effects, and the great Brando voice…but we’ve seen all that, we know all that. How I wish to be a member of the audience when that plays for the first time infront of a movie and I see it without knowning all that we know.
What did I feel? Really? I had some anticipation for the music, that got me slightly excited, just like the Elfman Batman theme does. That’s it I’m afraid, a huge anti-climax for me. We needed to see something more than “Look, we’ve brought him back to the screen”.
So what’s to blame? Well the teaser is just that, a teaser, it’s a good one. It shows us that feeling of Superman Returning, which isn’t just on the movie level either. There’s something about acceptance too, it’s like asking the audience to accept this Superman, and it does it well. So no fault there I think.
Personally I see it with the Blog, the immense amount of information, sketches, discussion, etc that we’ve seen. Most of that has given us more of an anticipation and wow factor than the teaser.
So you’ve probably now seen the Superman Returns trailer. What do you think about it? Has it ramped up your expectation levels, and if so have you been avoiding the Blog and other information on the movie?
