Fan enthusiasm surges for the latest Superman trailer, boasting outstanding visual effects enhancements
Revamped Peek: James Gunn's Superman film, set to drop in 2025, is generating a manufacturing plant-like level of hype. Even the preliminary teaser and January's TV spot got a royal billing, making them events to remember. Now, the official trailer has graced the screen, leaving spectators on a thirsty spree for details.
The drama opens with Lois Lane probing an agitated Superman, who's testing fans' patience with his anti-establishment stand and life-saving rebellion. This new Superman seems to sport a sassy edge, coming across as cocky and narcissistic - an attempt to create a less-than-perfect (and admittedly more fascinating) hero.
Then, the ethnic John Williams score drops in, accompanied by baddies, explosions, romance, and stark dialogues. The highlight reel includes Superman receiving a good thrashing, with a few droplets of crimson added for good measure.
Fan reactions have borderline erupted with excitement. One YouTube enthusiast wrote, "DC is back, not with noise, but purpose. The symbol of hope just rose again!" Another viewer penned, "For the first time in a long time for a DC movie, I had tears in my eyes."
Critic's picks include emotional, shaky homemade-style footage of Clark as a lad, and intricate world-building with the inclusion of a Lordtech recorder at the 14-second mark. What has the most ardent viewers aflutter, though, is the refined VFX since the previous preview - as clear as day in the two-scene comparison below.
VFX gurus are slaving away on post-production right up to the movie's release. Given the prolonged marketing timeline for movies, this means VFX work carries on even after early trailers are out. This comparison perfectly illustrates their hard graft.
