re: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Trailer (Spoilers after page 8)

So would they pretend Louis doesn't know who he is? (this would honestly bother me during the movie)

Is Amy Adams in the movie as Louis?

She will know who Clark is in this movie.

TBH, I may not have had Lois in the first film hardly at all. A minor supporting role was really all that was needed.

Also, one of the main reasons people don't figure it out is b/c as Clark he acts like a bumbling weakling, changes his hair, talks differently, etc.

They did none of this in MOS.

With Lois, my issue is not necessarily that she found out in the first film, its how she did it.

An alien spacecraft under military guard picks up and flies away and off of that experience she follows his work history to find him. Suspension of disbelief is needed in a film like this to be sure but to expect me to believe that she could find him by tracing his work history while the US military has no fricking clue and doesnt even notice that a grunt on the site of the spaceships disappearance also happened to vanish the same day is a bit much.

I'll watch the movie on Red Box (I haven't watched a movie in theaters in 4 years)

I would also add that if they wanted to make Lois seem smarter than the average shmoe while making it believable that others aren't able to figure things out, they should have gone with something similar to Superman II Donner Cut where Lois tricks him into admitting it by shooting him with a gun loaded with blanks.

Now this is a trailer. I have not been as excited to see a movie since Man of Steel, and before that not since Return of the King.

Here is the issue:
Christopher Reeve's Superman was basically a soap opera. Soap operas attract a certain kind of putz. I would add that in the 80's, Soap Operas were at their peak, so THAT Superman fit into those times perfectly. People loved the love story, the embarrassing jokes, and even some of the subtle innuendo.

Zack Snyder shook off all of this garbage when he directed MoS, which in my opinion, is the best Superman movie to date. From the genius of Kryptonian life, to hands down, the straight-up bar room brawls between Kal & the Kryptonians, to the most epic super hero moment ever (When Supes goes up the World Engine's arse, as his friends struggle to save Jenny), this movie was amazing.

I'm sorry for you Christopher Reeve lovers that ZS didn't settle on another remake (Superman Returns, which could've been better), but chose to actually have the Man of Steel HIT people that had it coming.

Rant [ON] OFF
The ONLY beef I had with MoS was the washed-out color at times, and some of the ridiculous camera shots during the Zod/Superman fights (particular Supes flying in between buildings). I prefer to see action in scale to the scene, far away. Just looks more realistic. For example,(and I digress) Superman Returns had a great scene when he saved the 747 at the beginning. Then they just totally ruined it by cgi'ing him opening the main door once it was safe on ground. Why not suspend him from wires for or more realistic feel? Why so lazy?? I hope ZS plans on using suspension wires whenever possible, rather than go the easy, CGI route. Not sure why I chose a Superman Returns example of this, when the beef was with MoS. Maybe it's because I loved the movie that much. Rant ON [OFF].

How the hell can Loki just assume Odin's spot on the throne and no one notice? If he killed him, then that's way too big of a plot point to have happen off screen. Someone else had to be in that throne room and another set of guards had to be watching over Odin if he was in his Odinsleep.

I don't recall anyone else being in huge throne room at the time but if there was I'm going to go ahead and assume Loki killed their asses since he was able to overpower Odin. He then dumps Odin off somewhere and keeps up his fake Odin illusion at all times. Remember, Loki is working for Thanos so he could easily ship Odin away to some far off dungeon. Hell, he may even have the arrogance to put the old man in the Asgardian jail believing he could uses his illusion skills to make people think it's just some shmoe in the cell.

I had some issues with GotG, this was not one of them. I had a huge problem with the prison escape scene. They used that central station thing to escape by using the computer inside to fly out. How could that computer still operate when it detached from it's base? It's not wireless, is it? I thought it was a fun movie, but I will never understand the love for it. To each his own I guess.

I guess he uses that battery to power it?
