Almost great


I think this trailer was a lot of fun. I loved the homages to Alex Ross.

A few problems though. What's with the scowling? this characters put on worse frowny faces than a two year old. Batman in particular- You let people get too close!- (Frown and head shake).

(Also see Lex after an admittedly wicked smack-down on superman in his suit. He actually looks PETULANT as opposed to menacing.)

I'm confident if anyone had shown these actors a MIRROR at any point during filming you would have gotten some better expressions.

The other thing that bugged me was the flying. I mean they nearly had it PERFECT. Looked great, but

1) Superman lands like a cat in front of Batman. When you fly you dont crumble when you hit the floor. You land like Magneto into the train in X-men one. With a little grace.

2) "I know all about your secret relationship" Then shot of Supes and Lois flying. Except you can see the street powerlines overhead! I know they're pulling it on a rig- so get out of the city! Get some clear sky above and I can believe the shot! Superman must be taking Lois for a pretty lame fly-ride if hes's only 3 feet off the pavement!

I'm not saying I didn't like it, I just had to get my gripes out. I liked this WAY more than Dead end.
