saw this trailer in the cinema last night. it was very good

 

[glenferry23]

As long as they dont show more. Im cool with what they showed because its actually good and they needed to show us something good for obvious reasons.

The music and camera work in that chase was fantastic

 

[peternorth]

[peternorth]

[Moti]

It was great. Didn’t give too much away other than some great chemistry on screen.

They really went to the Han and leia school of flirting and sexual tension

 

[Tuco]

Well that was a pleasant surprise. l never thought I'd be interested in Aquaman.

But I'm on board!

They've clearly dumped the Supermoan vs Bloatman aesthetic. The colour palatte looks like they've dispensed with all the blues, greys and blacks and gone full Marvel on this one. Bright and fun.

Also like the tone. Bit of humour. Bit of colour.

Could be Wan saves the DCU, hey?

The dark and gritty tends to wear on you. Time to give it some light

Wan and Jenkins I’d say, am very glad she is steering the ship again with Wonder Woman 2.

Snyder’s colour palette and continued use of dark/raining clouds became quite repetitive. Even contrast something as simple as Diana’s costume in BvS to WW, there’s such a noticeable difference.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Well to be fair BvS colour palette complements the story of Doomsday and a 'dark' time for Batman & Gotham city. Of course it would be more colourful for an origin story such as Aquaman & Wonder Woman.

 

[glenferry23]

That wasn’t what I was trying to say, didn’t explain it right the first time. It went beyond the setting itself, particularly for Superman.

What I meant to cite as repetitive was the continued bleak look on his face, the ongoing scowl/despair that he carried. Again, it’s okay for a while but it just became repetitive.

The WW costume was essentially the same for those two films, but Jenkins definitely lightened it which was more in tune with her comic book costume. I found that refreshing.

 

[vast]

The problem wasnt the colour palette it was the movie was just s**t

 

[Tuco]

Yeah. I only mention the colour palatte because I literally have not much else to judge this movie on yet

Superman's IBS-face was soul destroying though. I agree with glenferry23 on that for sure.

Although, I'm in that minority of fans who actually really liked MoS. His world weariness seemed to work in that pic.

 

[JackOutback]

In hindsight, MoS is one of DC's best and was pretty decent.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Snyder has stated that he has steered from the comic book costumes slightly, to give the own directors of the solo film the opportunity to showcase and utilise the suits.

I heard that if you film scenes in the rain/dark it makes cgi easier

 

[pantskyle]

Aquaman trailer wasn't too bad. Certainly now interested.

Rewatched Man of Steel about a month ago. The first 2 thirds still holds up very well, despite some ridiculous moments within (Clark's suit just waiting on an 18,000 year old scout ship for example). The over top Jesus references still did my head in. But Zod's arrival, that entire sequence of his transmission across the planet, that was fantastic.

The final third sadly descended into some crazy and cavalier destruction that was so unlike Superman, it may as well have been a different character. Zimmer's score is still epic though, I listen to it very regularly.

Its all green screen though, Snyder quite often prefers CGI sky rather than the real thing. Even daytime outdoor scenes on the Kent farm, he prefers as CGI.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Holy s**t that trailer was jaw dropping. Absolutely relentless

 

[peternorth]

James run reportedly in talks to do Suicide Squad 2.

Whilst DC (North Melb) have not done as well as would have liked with the movies (missing out on Gaff), they've got something to show now (Pittard and Polak)
