I don't like this trailer.
1. The song is depressing. A sad sounding woman singing, really? Where is the John Williams score? No, it doesn’t have to be the John Williams score but the music should make the audience excited. Not depressed. The music should make us route for Superman.
2. The color is drab and saturated. Superman's costume looks like he washed it too much and now it's faded. Where is the iconic blue, red, and yellow? All I see is a grey-blue, grey-red, and grey-yellow. YUCK! Also, I miss the yellow S on the back of his cape and yes even the red undies.
3. The tone is too depressing. I'm all for a serious grounded Superman but, this trailer takes it too far. Superman is supposed to
be a symbol of hope .All I see is young superman crying, Ma Kent crying, the death of Pa Kent, the destruction of Krypton, destruction in Metropolis, Superman being arrested by the military, Lois sad that Superman has to go away, and Zod's forces taking over. Some people might say that this movie reflects the dark times we live in. However, in the late 30s when Superman was created the world was going through some very dark time to. America was still dealing with the great depression. Hitler was rising to power and World War II was about to begin. Superman was created to bring hope to these dark times. I don't see hope in this trailer. All I see is nothing but death and destruction in this trailer.
4. The worst thing about this trailer is that Pa Kent would rather have innocent people die then people find out about Clark. That is a completely selfish and unethical attitude. I understand that he wants to keep his son safe but, Pa Kent would never for one second feel that keeping his son's secret is more important than people's lives. NEVER! Superman was raised by the Kents with extremely high morals. That is why he is hero.
I will reserve judgment of this film. I want it to be good. It’s a Superman movie after all. I never want to see a bad Superman movie. That’s why my standards are so high. I have doubt about this movie. But, I hope that it is very good.
