But Millions of people will die!

Billions!

You know, I'm a deep down comics fanboy. I've got a feeling of fear in my gut after seeing the X3 clip.

But Superman Returns looks like it may be juuuust right.

It's really a fantastic trailer, isn't it? I'm not sure who's doing the better job of channeling: Brandon Routh channeling Chris Reeve, or Keven Spacey channeling Gene Hackman. Yet both seem to have their own spin as well (and in the case of Spacey, a much darker edge).

Oh, yeah, I'm definitely loving the take on Luthor in this. A perfect mad scientist in pretty clothes.

Routh does a good job of looking like Reeve as Kent; I can't wait to see him in action as Superman.

Yes, "LEX LUTHOR RETURNS" might be a great movie...

Both of them, X3 and Supes look disappointing to me already.

I've posted about this on my own LJ this evening.

The Tonight clip for X3 amped up the suck factor on that picture (Only Ratner could add the Fastball Special and a Sentinel to the X-Men movies and make them suck), but this looks good.

I shall wait for reviews and first-weekend word-of-mouth before making a final decision on whether or not to see either X2 or SR. The entire season is a pile of "meh".

I love what we get to see of the airplane scene.

That looks really neat; I can't wait to see the full scene.

I'm feeling cautiously optimistic. At first, the whimiscally evil Luthor was a speedbump to my ideal of the physically imposing, seriously evil version I've come to accept as "the real one," but after Hackman's portrayal, how can you ever go back to a straight villain? I'm glad he's darker here, but I hope he's not too cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Well, if the film follows the the trailer, he's CC&C for 90% of the time. But it's that other 10% where he begins to show his mad scientist roots (which are admittedly the only roots he's got to show).
