Superman movies don't usually turn out too well so I don't have high hopes.

 

THIS ALWAYS SOUNDS LIKE A SILLY STATEMENT TO ME. WHAT ARE YOU CALLING USUALLY? MORE OFTEN THAN NOT? GREATER THAN 50% OF SUPERMAN FILMS?

 

SUPERMAN WAS DOPE AND WELL-RECEIVED AND MADE LOTS OF MONEY, AND BASICALLY ALL SUPERHERO FILMS SINCE WERE DIRECTLY INFLUENCED BY IT

 

SUPERMAN 2 WAS DOPE AND WELL-RECEIVED AND MADE LOTS OF MONEY

 

SUPERMAN 3 WAS TRASH AND POORLY RECEIVED AND MADE LOTS OF MONEY

 

SUPERMAN 4 I'VE NEVER SEEN AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT EXISTED TIL A FEW MINUTES AGO DID TERRIBLE CRITICALLY AND COMMERCIALLY AND IM GLAD I'VE NEVER SEEN IT

 

SUPERMAN RETURNS WAS LAME BUT FAIRLY WELL-RECEIVED AND MADE LOTS OF MONEY

 

SO BASICALLY WHAT IM SAYING IS 3 OF 5 MOVIES WERE GOOD BY MOST MEASURES SO WHERE IS THE USUALLY?

 

ALSO THE NEW SUPERMAN LOOKS SUPERCOOL TO BE ON TOPIC

 

IF ITS NOT GOOD I'LL PROLLY CRY

Man I think at best you could go 2.5/5 by your descriptions, but I'd be ignoring the dollar values.

 

Superman is pretty good and Superman 2 is okay. So I'm at like a 1.5 out of 5. Hasn't been halfway good since like 1980. Unless you want to count Bollywood then the track record becomes pretty stellar.

 

To be fair he's only had one shot at it in my lifetime.

1/2 is still not "usually" that's "half the time"

 

I specifically mention critical performance along with money, not just what I thought of it. Here I'll go get you RT %s since that's all we got.

Right but the "usually" part was my opinion, and I put it at 1.5/5. One thing to the other man.

 

Clearly I'm interested in this though since I made the topic. And hey I liked Watchmen and 300 even though they had some pretty obvious knocks so there's that too. Actually, I like 300 a lot, but that's probably not because of Snyder's work on it, haha.

This is my most looked-forward to movie, and I pray to god it doesn't suck. Sadly with every new trailer and special coverage of it coming out it looks more and more like it might not be so good.

 

Hans Zimmer is composing its soundtrack, that's dope as fuck. I'd let him sodomize me.

Yeah I don't think they could do in movies what they did in New 52 by having Darkseid in the first fucking comic, hahaha. Well, not physically but they set him up as first big bad. You have to lead up to that in movies if you're planning to have sequels. Look at all the Avengers stuff.
