  • "Even though

    you've been raised as a human being,

    you are not one of them.

    They could be a great people Kal-El,

    they wish to be.

    They only lack the light to show the way

    For this reason above all,

    their capacity for good;

    I have sent them you...my only son."

  • The moment the trailer was shown in theaters people around me were beyond excitement. Too bad the movie wasnt more action packed. But Routh was an inspiring sups. And was good playing the awkward kansas boy. I hope Znyder's version would have more epic action.

  • great trailer lame movie

  • This movie weak, Brandon did alright but did not assume the role. Did you notice that superman never threw a punch in this movie. Im tired of Lex Luther too. Sup does have other villains. I cant wait for Nolans version.

  • I love this movie. Brandon Routh did a great job. The hatred this movie arouses baffles me.

  • I think this trailer was better than the movie itself.

  • That speech gives me goose bumps.

  • I loved this movie.

    One critic said it best "If this movie doesn't do it for you........I couldn't imagine what would."

  • @MiamiKOfan Everyone on earth disagees with you

  • Comment removed

  • That speech from Brando still tugs at the heartstrings.

  • Agreed, great trailer shitty movie. Bryan Singer sucks. By the way, Superman does not create a sonic boom when he flies faster than sound. Only a loud ass jet engine can create a sonic boom.

  • @ElGatoLoco698 I think that was him entering the atmosphere, not breaking the sound barrier.

  • @ldpthejimmy Not to sound like a know it all but the atmosphere has no definite edge. It just becomes thicker as you approach sea level. Fewer and fewer N20 molecules the higher the altitude. That's why climbers need oxygen tanks when climbing Mt. Everest.

  • @ElGatoLoco698 From space??

  • @ldpthejimmy from space?? Please rephrase, I don't know what you are asking.

    I'll say again. There is no definitive boundary between space and Earth's atmosphere. There are fewer N20 (air) molecules as you increase altitude. N20 is also responsible for transmitting vibrations (sound). So it could not have been Superman entering the atmosphere. It had to have been a sonic boom. And I contend Superman can't make a sonic boom because he doesn't have loud ass jet engines creating a pressure wave.

  • i remember the crowd in theater erupted with clapping excitement when the trailer finished, i couldnt even hear the trailer that played after it

  • people say the movie was bad.. but to be honest.. its better than the other superman movies. i actually love this movie

  • this is the best trailer. and music.. of all the trailer of superman

  • The combination of the music and Brando's voice give me goosebumps.

  • AWESOME TRAILER! THE MOVIE WAS BORING!

    STOKED FOR THE NEW 1

  • EPIC TRAILER. UNDERESTIMATED MOVIE.

  • Let's face it no one can replace Christopher Reeves, the original cast and emotion the first two movies had on us

  • @jlyon7343 I agree with you. It was literally the right time and place for such a movie to take place. I don't know if there will ever be another great Superman film. This one was worthy but didn't live up to it. Also Snyder's movie looks like a bunch of one-shot crap.

  • @mglover145

    But Christopher Nolan is writing the script..

  • The song is The Planet Krypton, part of the superman OST

  • What is that music? I don't know if its on the soundtrack, its really short. What is the track itself called?

  • @eXPerienceyeah The Planet Krypton by John Williams

  • So the moral is, next time base the movie on the trailer!

  • So..... Superman is Jesus?

  • @ChopSooyLee basically, yeah...it can be interpreted that way...

  • @ChopSooyLee His story is a mix of the story of Moses and Jesus.

  • @ChopSooyLee according to my limited knowledge of the comic world, I believe he was moreso inspired by Moses than Jesus. A baby is found, grew up without knowing where he really came from, has powers beyond that of a human, learns of his true origins, defends his people, etc. etc.

  • what's the song called????

  • All you douchebags complained it sucked, so why don't all of you become filmmakers and directors and do a better job. Until you can do better, shut the fuck up.

  • @MrRetiredOfficer WOW GET A LIFE LOSER!!!! Go fight another fake war over oil or something??....until then why dont you do something with your life!!!! THIS MOVIE was not great at all.

  • i honestly would have had more satisfaction walking out of the theater if i had simply seen this trailer rather than paying to see the actual movie

  • Marlon Brando makes this trailer epic

  • one of the GREAT movie Trailers

  • I have sent them you, My only son! SUPER JESUS!!!

  • This teaser trailer was off the hook amazing...then Bryan Singer well...he made Superman gay and a stalker. It was all down hill from there.

    Imagine the movie world If Bryan Singer just made X-MEN 3 like he was suppose too and if Brett Ratner made this film like he was suppose too....all would have been better off.

    THE MAN OF STEEL in 2012 could be amazing and Singer helping write and produce the nes X-MEN first class movie was a good step in the right direction.

  • people need to stop bashin' the movie.

    there was absolutely no way this movie could have performed.

    no way to live up to the hype or the insane fans.

    I should know. I'm one of those insane fans.

    this movie wasn't bad. but wasn't as great as it should have been.

  • @orinanime ur a dumbass the movie sucked. superman has a son, he lands on a kryptonite island and doesn't effect until he told about it. He's able to fly with a huge ass peace of kryptonite in his back. this movie not only freaking suck, it fucking sucked. ass.

  • @Galiodonis

    Right. An average ranking of 76% and a 400 million dollar box office.

    You're right. What a piss-poor movie. So badly recieved. Critics hated it, and it made no money at all... oh wait...

    Superman has a son. A story line done several times in the comics.

    It starts affecting him the moment he gets there. That's why he's so weak.

    He can fly because he's supercharged by the sun. And then it nearly kills him, putting him into a coma.

    You're a moron.

  • @orinanime Yeah thats why they are RE-BOOTING IT WITH THE MAN OF STEEL!!! lol.....douche just cause You type something does not make it so....You are wrong..epic fail.

  • @DamienNightwing

    yep im wrong.

    except everything i posted was fact. not opinion.

    i don't think the movie is great. i think it got a lot wrong. but I don't think it sucked.

    and the new movie is going to blow.

    Henry Cavil looks lousy as Superman and his costume looks like it's made out of alligator skin. And don't even get me started on the most random choice for an S-shield design in history.

  • @orinanime dont forget zach snyder!

  • I hate how this trailer tricked me into thinking this was going to be an epic, realistic origin story...

    0:58 That is EXACTLY how REAL people would react to seeing Superman for the first time. They should have replaced Singer with whoever directed this cinematic masterpiece.

  • @CrazyGrapefruit

    thats crazy when i read your post, i thought the EXACT same thing five yrs ago, i remember telling my friends how epic the film would be based on how great this trailer was.. seemed to give more of a realistic response of the people as opposed to the earlier films(hey its superman, whats up!! alright lets continue on our way to the comic shop!) like seeing a freaking demigod was just something ordinary lol

  • what track is this from the soundtrack?

  • @gokudabomb1 It's from the original Superman movie, it's Krypton's theme done by John Williams.

  • @gokudabomb1

    /watch?v=SWzzA-pgOAM

  • Superman is Jesus.

    Marlon Brando is God.

  • GOOD TRAILER TO MASTURBATE TO!

  • @ExpressEric..."addicting juice"??? LMAO

  • i nearly jizzed myself the first time i saw this trailer 0.0

  • The greatest super hero of them all

  • HOLD FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This Trailer is bad, mothafucking ASS!

    I put it on par with The Dark Knights teaser Trailer.

    Both dont give the story away, just the addicting juice.

  • "Their capacity for good..."

    An important reminder.

  • If only the movie could have had the heart this trailer did.

  • Best superman trailer I have ever seen, though I wonder if man of steel will top it

  • if the movie had at least one good action scene then it might have been passable, but oh well man of steel better be great

  • chills every time...

  • Never really thought about this before, but Brando's words are very biblical, and in a Christian rather than Jewish sense: a father from another powerful realm sends his only son to live among humans and help them overcome their flaws to achieve their potential. Much of the superman mythology is of course Jewish, and Kal-El (very Jewish name) has Moses-like elements as well, not least his cosmic basket and adoption.

  • I was in the theater as this trailer came on. Now, being a comic guy, I knew the "DC" logo from the start, and knew it would be comic related ( but I assume most people didnt)....as the "Kent" mailbox came up, some people realized what the trailer was....and as it went on...more and more people realized it was for Superman........sounds of "Dude, its Superman" and "Sweet" and "Awsome" were heard....and when it was over.....everyone started clapping.

    Ive never seen that before or since......

  • Superman needs to show hollywood the way to making good movies again, instead of all these damn remakes and terrible stories.

  • "they can be a great people, they only lack the light to show them the way".

  • @angrydead that's the moment in this trailer I get chills and my hairs stand on end.

  • The music is amazing - perfect!

  • If they ever reboot superman they need to get someone with marlon brando's gravitas

  • Great trailer.  Horrific movie.

  • they shouldve called back brandon routh....he was fantastic given the shit he was offered....he was the perfect image can act and was great as clark...he was the saving grace for this movie

  • My god, this movie could have been soooo good. If only they've had a story.

  • @HECTOR2006ELPASO this movie couldve been soooo good if they just wouldve repeated this trailer for 2 hrs

  • @abidabi22

    LOL

  • Trailer > The actual film.

  • @ShaiyaStudios

    all tailer always eat the actual film..

  • Man, I love this trailer.

  • I FARTED!

  • epic trailer shitty movie

  • @manhands77 I thought the exact same thing!!!

  • Why the fuck didn't they use the exact scene at 1.01 when he flies in the clouds with his cape waving...It looks so much better than the one in the movie!

  • probably the best teaser trailer ever. what a shame the movie was as terrible, as this trailer was excellent.

    bryan singer should have been put in front of a firing squad, and shot at dawn!

  • Trailer better than the movie

  • althought i was dissapointed in the movie i got chills from the trailer and loved it

  • Even tho I'm a HUGE Batman fan, I must admit that this trailer is probably better than most other movies' trailers nowadays! I mean having Marlon Brando's voice being heard in a movie trailer a few years after his death is just unparalleled in its amazingness! If only more trailers would be like this! Not giving away any of the story but still making you desperately excited to see the movie! This is the way trailers should be done!

  • It almost brings a tear to my eye (a good one mind you) with the booming voice and score plus the stunning imagery. This trailer embodies everything Superman stands for. This is coming from a hardcore Batman fan mind you.

  • This has to be the most powerful movie trailer ever produced.

    Too bad the actual movie was less so. lol

  • @robbierevenant that effing snatch lois lane and the premise that Supes had a bastard son ruines it...

  • Superman II is the best one.

  • When you hear 0:22 you know the big S is on his way! What is that music called? I think its on the soundtrack album, maybe, but its literally 30 seconds long, what is the music/track called at 0:22?

  • @eXPerienceyeah

    It's from the soundtrack to the 1978 movie version of Superman. It's by John Williams, and is called "The Planet Krypton". In fact, the whole trailer has that piece playing, not just the section from 0.22 onwards.

  • @KaitainCPS THANK YOU. I could not remember the name of that piece.

  • omg., i was gona say somthing I am still ....... hmm ahhh epic

  • One of the best trailers ever. clearly captures the magic of the original however I would have to agree with most of the comments that the movie missed the mark. Too bad.

  • This trailer is excellent, hauntingly exceptional, unlike the movie, which was entertaining, but delivered few of these memorable moments. Marlon Brando voice was perfect, The orignal is still the best.

  • @RipUaNew1 I find it strange how a new Jor-El is what I fear most about a new Superman movie. Brando just cant be beat.... only maybe if Dustin Hoffman plays Jor-El... HMMMM

  • @Blomar69 What about Liam Neeson?

  • did the guy that played Superman in this die?

    I haven't seen him in anything since this.

  • @monkeynuts76 no he's not dead

    he was recently in scott pilgrim vs the world.

    he was the third evil ex.

  • @Splerteeki yeah hes also a character on chuck too he does alot of comic and fan stuff his career has actualy been better since this movie ..i still think he should be in the new one he plays a good superman and clark kent...sadly it was the script above all else that ruined superman returns...not the movie itself or the actors its was the plot

  • @bulletproofKevlar yeah i agree.

    i also don't get why they wanted to make a sequel so badly, they could've just rebooted it and modernized it, and take a different tone for the film. it has worked for other movies like James bond casino royale, and batman begins

  • I want grim & gritty Superman.

  • i got to say wen i 1st seen this trailer hearin that music giv me shivers

  • It's sad when a trailer does better than the actual movie, not uncommon but to have it happen to an iconic figure such as Super Man and have the movie screwed up as bad as it was, oh well thank god for Smallville, at least that's bad ass still.

  • This movie is AWESOME!!!!!!!

    The story was heartfelt - told the story of the man and his struggles better than any of the prior films, the acting was top notch all around and as the last two scenes in this trailer demonstrate - the visuals are breathtaking

    This, along with the Dark Knight are my favorite superhero movies of all time

    Brandon Routh MUST come back as Superman and the rest of the cast needs to come back as well. I was amazed at how well Kevin Spacey portrayed Luthor

  • @lizziefan84 Amen to that.

  • I think that even in the "reboot" coming out, Brando should still be the inspiration, somehow, for Jor-El. Its too perfect!

  • This is THE GREATEST TRAILER I have ever seen - I cannot wait to see the movie

    Few trailers send chills down my spine, this one and the second Dark Knight trailer, the Two Towers Trailer, and the Phantom Menace Trailer.

    Brandon Routh looks like a great Superman - I would just put the S symbol on the cape

  • Agreed with funh3ll. Tragically agreed. Superman reduced to becoming a stalker just to see his own son...yeah, I could have gone a lifetime and never needed to see that.

  • this trailer is what the movie should've been. Brandos voice and speech with the soundtrack at 1:00 is epic. Almost a call to humanity "they can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be, they only lack the light to show the way." That by itself is inspiring.

  • I could watch this trailer over and over...can't say that about the movie

  • @TheCubsfan02 Sadly, you are right.

  • @TheCubsfan02 Ditto dude trailer excellent MOVIE SUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKK SO BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­ADDDDDDDDD.

  • Christopher Nolan should direct next superman movie.

  • @Jayvenile No he shouldn't. Unless he can make it much lighter than Batman. The Batman movies were twisted and dark, which is what Batman should be. Superman, however, is about hope, and inspiring the capacity for good that people only "need the light to show the way".

  • @swimfastfly27

    Easy for him to say, we are not bulletproof.

  • @Jayvenile He's only producing

  • the biggest problem was that instead of making a reboot they tried to finish off a 20 year old storyline. this trailer makes it seem like its a reboot. especially that scene where all the people are looking up.

  • @mjnoir1 well there not going to be looking down

  • 0:26 I almost had a heart attack when i saw that....no joke...1:00 best speech EVER MADE!!! .... I always repeat that in my mind ^.^

  • is it me or does brandon routh look shockingly similar to christopher reeth at 1:15? thats awesome xD

  • @narutofreakdbz1 Thats a big part of why they picked him. He does bare a decent resemblance to reeth.

  • What they need to do for the next Superman is make the following cast changes:

    Lois - Cassidy Freeman

    Lex Luthor - Mark Strong - he is already bald and plays great villains

    Perry White - Tommy Lee Jones

    The villain has to be Brainiac, who could play him? not sure

  • Brando a legend

  • I remeber seething this trailer in a theater and going "OMG OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!" Then the movie came out and I was like... "Meh."

  • if they took the idea of sup having a son and him dissapperaing for 5 years and made a remake this would have turned out to be a better movie i still enjoyed though

  • This trailer was better than the movie itself

  • @Captainwacky Unfortunately, I have to agree.

  • as soon as i heard marlon brando and the superman theme with the kent mailbox i was so excited i thought the movie was real good even though there wasn't much action...can't wait for the reboot

  • I think the dude from that TV show, smallville, should have played superman......And that superman returns should have been a spin off from smallville.

  • I think they should bring superman back and do something really out of the box with him. Just really go for it and don't be so traditional, there's already so much tradition in this series. It needs to be shook up a bit.

  • I have to agree with many of the comments here that this trailer far outshines the very movie its' meant to advertise.

  • this might be one of the greatest trailers of all time. made me actually want to see a superman project, and normally i don't care much for him, so the trailer cutters did a fabulous job of duping me into seeing this bland movie.

  • This movie , could have been so much better ..

    *sigh*

  • one of the best trailers ever...movie was medicore

  • @zimmcat 100% agree

  • Superman. SUPERMAN.

  • Marlon Brando s voice coming from beyond "for this reason above aaaaaall, that capacity for good, I m sending you, my only son........!!!" ahhhhhhhh! Fucking awsome

  • @pmolik1029 "I have sent them you"

  • @FireStormBaller Sure! you re right

  • @pmolik1029 And their capacity for good. XD

  • Despite the movie not exceeding my expectations, i still enjoyed it very much. Besides....THIS TRAILER SENDS CHILLS.

  • A fantastic trailer, just a pity the movie never quite lived up to expectations apart from a couple of scenes and the ending was dreadful.

  • I heard this on a tiger woods montage and had to find the original...I remember seeing this preview in the theater. AMAZING! but agree, movie not so much

  • I agree one of the best trailers, I was looking foward to this movie so much but....oh well

  • 1:12 on, straight GOOSE BUMPS!!!

  • @RunninWingT

    I Agree..and every single time...

  • 1:03 is fuckin epic. The music and him rising into the sky. People in the theater were cheering at that part.

  • one of the best movies ever Christoper Reeves Will Be Very Proud of this movie

  • @supaman2525 LONG LIVE: REEVE - ROUTH :-)

  • SUPERMAN forever !!!!!!

  • When I first watched this trailer I got goosebumps. Its a shame the film was extremely mediocre. I actually enjoy this trailer more than the film.

  • @ShaiyaStudios ...I am SO with you on this.

  • This trailer is absolutely amazing. Perhaps the best of all time. Gave me goose bumps.

    Then the movie came out. Epic failure.

  • lol

  • superman my hero so epic

  • Best Music and Trailer EVER!!!! mate

  • I love most the emphasis on the "Christ-like" attributes of Superman in this trailer.

  • This trailer brings a tear to my eye, being such a fan of the originals. I dont' mind if the series is rebooted, but having an entire movie dedicated as a kind of tribute to the old Richard Donner/Christopher Reeve movies is far more than I could have wanted. I like this movie, even if there is nothing to follow it.

  • This Trailer was really really cool, though the movie wasn't nearly incredible as Richard Donner's original 1978. The reboot will be interesting, but I agree, the team of Gene Hackman and Ned Beaty, Margot Kidder, Chistopher Reeve, they just combined to make an awesome film, one of kind. Hope the reboot succeeds, but the original is still one of the best movies ever made.

  • The opening of this trailer is particularly poignant, given that the young Clark Kent nearly broke his neck (if it weren't for his powers of course). Very symbolic.

  • I remember watching this trailer for the first time and the hairs on my arms and the back of my neck standing straight up. Unfortuantely, the film didn't so so well and they are rebooting it. From now on there will be no canon to the original films and it will be a fresh new look at the franchise.

  • i think they should follow the comics, but not the story arcs right now

  • Superman Returns should have been are reboot of the series like Batman Begins. Not a continuation of the franchise.

  • there will be a reboot and the director will be christopher nolan...they're just deciding what to ignore and what to have in the new one

  • nolan is not directing turd-brain - he is going to be over-seeing the creative direction but someoen else will be directing

  • get that stick out of ur ass....it won't be christopher nolan but it will be his brother jonah nolan

  • Why?

  • Well this was not that good to begin with. Also I herd that the Superman film franchise of the 70's and 80's was dead. Like the Batman franchise of the 90's. When you wan't to continue a dead franchise you reboot it. Not make a squeal to those films.
