How come some Russian Filmmaker with 30 million dollars...

And if you live anywhere near Branson Missouri, you get to see his face on tons of billboards as you drive down the street.

Ah, Chris you beat me to it...

I agree with those who thought NIGHTWATCH was bad. However, that trailer looked pretty badass and if I can find DAYWATCH I'm renting it.

Hopefully those characters who can morph into animals will actually do something cool in Daywatch.

$30mil in Russia <> $30mil in the USA.

 

[c.g._eads]

True, but 250 million in Australia (where Superman was shot) is not the same as 250 million in US.

I'm not sure if these numbers are adjusted into US dollars or not. And even in the expansive space that is the internet, it's hard to find that information.

Daywatch was better than Nightwatch...and I liked Nightwatch alot.

Where the hell is Duskwatch? I thought that was happening a long time ago.

People keep forgetting that CGI has come a long way in twenty years, the boundaries is always been pushed further, software and hardware is always creeping down. Then there is sheer skill, which is always maturing like fine wine.

The effects was very good, but nothing I've not seen in other similar type films, the car shot looked a bit clumsy (but, average joe probably does't care!, or even notice).

Anyways yes its all very good indeed, but if the story is lacking then no amount of VFX will sell it..

I enjoyed Superman's effects as well as Night and DayWatch's trailers. Superman sucked because of the story. Baby Superman? Don't have me rip into that. (Every REAL Superman fan knows what would happen to Lois if she had Supe's kid on earth versus a planet with a red sun). And is Lex Luthor the only villain Superman can fight. What about Bizzaro, Mixitlplix (sp), and all of the rest. Spacey's Luthor was on point though.

I wish they would stop trying to add story to characters who already have great stories if only the writers weren't so lazy and would look into the character's history. I wish Rami and his team would do Superman. He seems to care about the genre. Superman isn't Singer's fault though, it's the writing. I thought it was well directed.
