Up, Up, and Away

I never reviewed a trailer before, let alone a teaser trailer. But the teaser to Superman Returns is just so damn good.

The visual direction is beautiful. Since the movie is a direct continuation of the first two Superman movies (the good ones), you might recognize the imagery of Smallville and the Kryptonian crystal designs. Meanwhile, Metropolis looks stunning with its art deco look.

But the creme de la creme is the audio. Marlon Brando's wise voice boldly explains the reason Superman exists in earth, while the theme amplifies the grandeur of the speech tenfold. The theme really makes the trailer stand out, creating a heroic and inspiring nuance.

This teaser made me incredibly excited. I Can't wait for 2006.
