    Smh. It’s almost impressive how bad they managed to mess up one of the strongest comic book brands on the market.

    My friend is a die-hard Superman fan and was so excited to see the movie only to be left yawning and sighing in boredom.

    Now all their new trailers look so forcibly dark it’s comical.

      I actually don’t blame Cavill at all. Watch the Tudors or even the Man From UNCLE trailer. He can bring the charm. Mostly I blame Zach Snyder, his movies are pure one note tedium. Even 300 barely managed humour…with everyone dressed like that!

      • bammer says:

        Yeah he was good in The Tudors. He can be charming and sexy.

      • TQB says:

        Not that I lost much sleep over this one way or the other, but he was my pick for Christian Grey. He is incredibly hot and charming when not inflated in a superhero suit.

      • FLORC says:

        Henry isn’t a bland actor. It’s shocking to see him outside of his superhero role. That leads me to think those in charge of this Superman era wanted him to be bland and boring and emotional. And that they thought a movie can be carried by fast moving special effects fight scenes for extended periods of time without the storyline moving forward.

        I completely agree. Snyder ruins comics converted into movies. As soon as his name was attached to this there was a collective tear shed from the inner child in us all.

        Amy
        Man of Steel left me super disappointed also. Massive let down. I actually argued with my cable provider for a refund over it.

    And taterho lived happily ever after…

    The End.

      Magic Mike: “The plot revolves around Adam, a 19-year-old who enters the world of male stripping, guided by Mike Lane, who has been in the business for six years.”

      So there will be LESS plot than this?

    The Cavill “Superman” was so boring I nearly leaned over the seat rail and screamed, “Come on, Dover, move yer bloomin’ arse!” like Eliza Dootlittle. Script was ghastly.

    • lucy2 says:

      I am so glad I didn’t pay to see Man of Steel in the theater. I hated that movie so much. Hated. It was so dreadfully boring and nothing but CGI destruction over and over. And I loved the Superman movies growing up and liked Cavill from the Tudors.
      They won’t be getting my $10 for this one either.

      • taterho says:

        I was soo disappointed with Man of Steel. It’s making me very apprehensive about Batman v Superman. Plus Batfleck. Lordy.
        Bats and Sups are my dudes, ya know? I’m going to pony up the money to see it, but I just have this feeling they’re going to screw it up.

      • Mia V. says:

        They should stop, they are killing Superman.

      • Scarlet Vixen says:

        Thank g*d I’m not the only one who thought Man of Steel was boring. Noone emoted worth a darn. I walked away from it wondering how in the heck Henry Cavill became a successful actor because he was sooo boring. But then I binge watched all 4 seasons of the Tudors, and he’s great in it! Charming, nuanced, and sexy as hell.

    Batman Vs Superman teaser trailer: Insomnia Cured!

  5. Mel M says:

    He is still so hot to me though. Can’t watch the Tudors without drooling over him.

    • vavavoom says:

      He is! He can’t wear a suit, though. He needs The Rock’s stylist or something. He actually looks overweight in a suit, which is preposterous!
      I must be one of the few who liked Man of Steel. He was endearing in it… I could look past the script if I just looked at him. 🙂 I do think Amy Adams was miscast, although she looks young, she didn’t seem young enough.

    • Jib says:

      Good Lawd, he is a beautiful man!! I am at least 25 years older than he is, but still…I find him just incredibly sexy and beautiful. I hate the whole Fifty Shades of Stupid series of books and would never see the movie, but if Henry was the guy, I would have gone. Yikes!!!!

  6. The Original Mia says:

    I don’t mind Henry as Superman. The writing is absolutely horrible for him. Not his fault there isn’t much to work with. He’ll thank his lucky stars when the bulk of the fanboy rage will be heaped on Batfleck. Henry has Man of UNCLE coming up, which looks miles better than anything Superman related.

  7. Amy the fan gurl says:

    Hey y’all. I’m sorry to report this a fan- made trailer. The clips are from various other movies and the sound is mixed editing names and various other audio.
    The thing that made it obvious was the Jason Momoa clip from Conan. Anywho, that is my contribution for the day:)

  8. Apple Tart says:

    That beard and suit are doing nothing for him, he has been looking like a chunky monkey lately. So either his muscles are making him look fat or he is on down time and has been off his diet/workout and pudging out like Gerard Butler does between movies.

  9. ¡mire usted! says:

    Henry Cavill was as Superman was a HUGE success. It makes sense to bring him back. Christian Bale was a HUGE success as Batman THREE times including selling record breaking tickets on the third one (>$1 billion) so why not #BringBackBale???? I thought Christian didn’t want to but apparently that’s not true. There was a shake down at Warner Brothers. Look deeper folks. Something’s rotten in Gotham.

    • Dońt kill me i'm french says:

      Affleck Will be good as Batman for one reason because Warner Bros loves him.Affleck is WB’s fav since always .Either WB didn’t care/dislike Bale or Bale is really a man of integrity

    • Lucy2 says:

      I think Bale has said repeatedly that he was done after the 3 and wouldn’t do one without Nolan.

  10. Isabelle says:

    Zack Snyder directing IMO will be the big problem for this film. Soon as he was announced as this director/writer had little desire too see. He’s a glorified blow them up Bay’esk filmmaker.

  11. Magpie says:

    Who cares Star Wars teaser looks awesome.

  12. julia says:

    I just saw the trailer Variety leaked (after being leaked online) and it’s AWESOME!!!!

  13. Jonathan says:

    Don’t get me wrong, Cavill was smoking hot in Superman but now he looks all cuddly- kind of like the human equivalent of comfort food. MUCH yummier than the lean meat version.

  14. amberj says:

    Henry’s as dull as ditch water!

    Just seen the pics of Tom and Noomi at the premiere of Child 44…..they look so comfortable together! No sign of Charlotte, again.

  15. Mike says:

    Yes he is dull… BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY IT LIKE THAT! lol

    He is a kind courteous man and he has some diehard fans who, admittedly, are taken by him mostly for his exceptional looks. He needs some excitement or some new dimension to his image I admit. What bothered me what the strong parallels between Superman’s story and Jesus that the MoS marketing team had come up with just to promote their dumb superhero movie.

    Henry Cavill is quite sterile, but… I don’t know.

    The new leaked trailer looks cool though. Batman is all jealous and ‘evil’ now… who knows why.
