annathepiper | New movie trailers! (Reply)

First up: the new Superman Returns trailer. After a look-see, I must say Kevin Spacey does look promising as Lex Luthor, nicely reminiscent of Gene Hackman. The new kid playing Supes--well, he does seem to make a pleasantly doofy-looking Clark, somewhere between the Dean Cain Clark and the Christopher Reeve Clark, and closer to the latter, but not all the way there. Which I like. I'm more dubious about this idea of giving Lois Lane a kid, though. I get the whole concept of showing that she's Moved On(TM), but on the other hand, a Cute, Smart Kid as part of the plot is all too often a danger signal that the movie is going to suck (cases in point: The Legend of Zorro, The Mummy Returns). Here's hoping that in this instance, I'm wrong! I do want this movie to be good. :)

Next: shiny new trailer for Pirates of the Carribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest, and hee, yeah, that does look like fun. And Captain Jack gets all the good lines: "Elizabeth, those clothes do not flatter you at all, it should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in my cabin!"

Third: trailer for the new Bond flick, Casino Royale. Yeah, that looks like a Bond flick all right. Not sure yet what I think of the new guy, or whether I'll go see this at all, but we'll see what happens.

And in related news, I saw a promo poster for X3 on a bus this morning on my way into work. YES!
