I hate to say it, but I'll take ten Thors and Iron Mans over 2 more hours of navel-gazing.
There can be seriousness and depth, but why shouldn't I enjoy myself when watching a superhero movie? I want fun and color to my films. I don't think thats too much to ask for...
I think you totally can and should have both in a comic book film--- besides, with the amount of money spent on these films, why aim low? Why NOT aim for it to try to be able to be about something as well as have the spectacle?
Two disaster films: "2012" and "The Road"- couldn't be more different. "2012" was a big happy disaster film with tons of things blowing up. "The Road" was a depressing (but compelling) scifi film about a father & a son surviving after a world disaster, at terrible costs.
"2012" made a shiteload of money, and got no respect. "The Road" got respect and no money. Can't a Superman movie have substance and the cool fun stuff?
The attraction of seeing Nolan's name on the new movie is the HOPE that it has intellgence & substance to it.
With Snyder, you'll get the visual fireworks.....
So, will see.... but I hate the idea of lobotomizing comic books (Green Lantern, THor's stuff on earth) for the big screen, rather than pushing the screenplays to have more depth (Dark Knight)....
