"Man of Steel" Teaser Trailer(s)

Accompanying "The Dark Knight Rises" this weekend was not merely one, but two teaser trailers for Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel". Which one you saw largely depends on what theater you went to, but it's more or less a crap shoot. The two trailers have the contrasting fatherly inspirations of Kevin Costner's Johnathan Kent and Russell Crowe's Jor-El, both speaking for choice and destiny in a rather interesting way. Given the imagery of Clark/Cal-El wandering almost aimlessly, could we be in for a Superman not landlocked to the protection of a city. Is this a series truly about a man serving as an inspiration for mankind to strive for? I am unusually optimistic concerning this film, plan on evading any further trailers, but remaining ever cautious as the film slowly approaches. We know what comes of inflated expectations.

With Russell Crowe:

For Your Anticipation: Come Closer

I was contemplating which of this week's wide releases I was least excited about, but I ultimately fell upon the obvious choice of "Immortals". This film has looked like absolute shit from the first trailer, all stacked with horrifically bad visual effects, obvious performances, and a dumb story beyond mere convolution. And it occurs to me now that it stars Henry Cavill, who is the next Superman apparently. Still don't care.
