Superman Takes Flight In New Trailer And It Looks . . . Weird

Superman Credit: Warner BrosIm trying to stay upbeat about James Gunns upcoming Superman movie. I want DC to bounce back. I want all the franchises to bounce back: Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, Game Of Thrones, Lord Of The Rings. Theyre all floundering.I was mostly very positive about the first trailermuch more hopeful than I was when Gunn showed off the very bizarre first image of Superman.Much of this shorter TV spot is exactly the same as the first, only slimmed down. But at the very end we get a brief glimpse of Superman (David Corenswet) flying above the snow and ice (pictured above). While its awesome to see our hero in flight, its also . . . weird looking? Somethings off.Watch for yourself:Maybe its something about his eyes. Or his entire face. His face looks weirdly CGI here. The CGI is one of the things that worried me in the first trailer, and it worries me again here. Maybe its just unfinished and well see a more polished, less funky version at release. Im really not sure.MORE FOR YOUIn any case, I will continue to be skeptical but open-minded. I have enjoyed a lot of what Gunn has made in the pastespecially the first Guardians of the Galaxy moviebut the weird CGI and the huge roster of superheroes and villains and monsters does have me worried that there will be too much plot, too many moving pieces, and possibly a little too much of Gunns brand of humor for this to be a satisfying reboot. I hope Im wrong on all counts.Well know more when the film releases in theaters on July 11th. What do you think? Does that flying scene look weird to you?
