ORIGINAL: pete_traynor It really is the very essence of a teaser isn’t it! Will hold final judgement until I see it on an IMAX screen with a huge sound system. But it is sparse! Some of the shots look really beautiful and I can see why a lot people mentioned Malick after the CC footage. But in terms of a trailer it could be for anything until that final shot. But in my opinion it does the job well enough. You don’t need to get the masses salivating at this point, just make them aware that superman is coming back. And that final shot does it quite wonderfully for me. Does the job for now but not amazing. Sure the theatrical attached to the Hobbit will be all bells and whistles. Remeber, TDK teaser showed nothing whatsoever. But the teaser (not seen with sound yet) has me excited but also very intrigued. If they can marry those beautiful, ponderous looking Malick style shots with a cracking action movie... this could be really special! Very true, but that teaser had that thundering soundtrack, the Bat Symbol and Ledger's distinct take on the Joker and a final shot of the Joker card before giving us that great title 'The Dark Knight', Batman fans never thought we'd see a Bat movie without wht word Batman in the title! At the time that was stunning, and as a teaser it gave you enough - you knew it was Batman vs The Joker just from those images and lines of dialogue. Here, those images of a rough and ready Clarke reaching out to his inner 'Deadliest Catch' fantasy and as a boy with a makeshift cape don't really sell anything of the return of Superman. It's only with the shield and the final shot of Supes (which are both great) that you really get a feel for what this is selling - the rest (including the voiceover) doesnt really sell the idea of the return of Superman. And as was pointed out, given the critical reaction to Superman Returns, I think a bigger teaser was needed, especially after hearing descriptions of footage from Comic-Con. Dont get me wrong, I'm looking forward to it, and Im actually a fan of Snyder, but as a teaser, it sucks.
