Look up into the sky!

The first trailer wasn't bad, but the second one evokes a most reverend, "Holy shit!"

I loved Richard Donner's Superman, more than tolerate Richard Lester's sequel, and avoid the others like the plague. This one just looks cool, beautiful and cool. Kevin Spacey ("Wrong!") is so over the top as Lex Luther he's more perfect than Gene Hackman was.

But the moment that hooks me, that brings a tear to the eye, is not just when the trailer uses a clip from one of James Horner's best scores, it's the moment that belongs to Lois:
The world doesn't need a saviour, and neither do I.
Oh my.

So, a different sort of Superman film. It will be interesting to see if this is a match for Batman Begins.
