"My Father believed that if the world found out who I really was, they'd reject me. He was convinced the world wasn't ready. What do you think?"As you might of picked up on, I am a huge comic book movie fan, its my favourite movie genre and has given its far share of great movies and great disappointments. This movie looks like it will fall into the first category, it seems to be a more serious take on the Superman story very much like Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy (whom is producing it), that is taking a fantastical story and basing it at least partiality in the real world and making the characters very dark and introspective. Another thing this movie has going for it in my opinion is its director Zack Snyder, who is one of my favourite directors and while I didn't think his personal style would fit with a Superman film he seems to have been reigned in by Christopher Nolan and this trailer just looks amazing.
When the teaser trailer's came out (the same trailer had two different voice-overs) I wasn't overly impressed with it, but it did its job of getting people talking about the film. Now this the second trailer does an amazing job and doesn't give too much away it's very careful about what it shows and doesn't spoil the trailer like many films lately have a habit of doing, this isn't a two minute version of the entire film. What it does though is it introduces the main character of Clark Kent/Superman played by Henry Cavill and in a twist from the comic's and previous adoptions of the film has Clark's father not be as supportive of him using his super powers to help people as he's worried what other people will think of him and how they'll react to him, which is very powerful and a more realistic idea for the character. It also shows Clark Kent's eventual realisation that he'll need to become Superman in order to help the people he loves even if it means betraying them at least that's how I interoperate it.
Please check out the trailer below and if it's not working here's a link to it: http://youtu.be/-DaPBBOHfsA
