I loved Superman Returns too and although people say it needed more action (I don't think it did) you've gotta admit the action scenes were breathtaking and for the first time in ages I was actually impressed by the grandure of the CGI based scenes. The bit with the chain-cannon yeah, but that scene with the plane and his struggle to just grab hold of the plane and his desperation to save the people inside when he can't help but unintentionally, heavy handedly, fight the frailty of the constant More

I'm a big fan of Bryan Singer's work, and thought that Superman Returns in particular was unfairly slammed, suuure it could have had the odd extra action scene thrown in, but it looked bloody wonderful. It would appear the same would apply to this film too, the cinematography looks fantastic, Cruise's accent will require some getting used to but I'm sure the film will turn out great.
I agree about the random voiceover guy too :) Absofuckinglutely no need for him. More

I'm suprised that, given how much Cruise puts into his films (The Last Samurai being a noteable one), he didn't just learn German and do the film in it.
But then I suppose speaking german would have alienated the US mainstream market.

Looks alright but nothing special. I can't get over the accents myself, I think its incredibly lazy of them not to attempt to have all the Germans characters at least speak with one accent. If Cruise even attempted a slight British accent it would have worked but his American voice is completely jarring and I think will be a problem for someone to take it seriously and especially will effect his oscar chances.

Eh? Warbird porn? Ha ha ha. What the heck is that? Like, 1940's chicks with their knockers out? If so, groovy.
Nah, mate. The film looks ace and Bryan Singer is a crackin' director (I actually loved Superman returns and X2 is one of my all time favourites). He's got a brilliant cast and even though I'm a bit wary of Cruise (my dad's a war movie nut but he'll take some convincing to see a movie with "that bloody Cruise turnip with the nashers" in it) but he looks just like Graf in photo com More

Accents weren't changed in the film The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and no-one gave two shits, but because it's a Tom Cruise film, everyone has to pick on something I suppose.

What's Cruise to do an English accent? That would be daft and I'm very relieved that they didn't go for German accents. Secondly Cruise sells movies - that's why his name is big - studios have been pushing him for years. It's pretty clear that he clearly gives a damn about the other actors and the content of the film considering that it's "his" company that put the film together.

Looks very good. Lovely cinematography. Bit surprised by the VERY american accent though. Stands out a bit too much from the mostly British cast.
Also, why is it starring TOM CRUISE and not Cruise, Branagh, Nighy, Stamp etc...?
