Guess what kids, it is on like Donkey Kong! After waiting the past couple of months for the studios to finally make a move on marketing the major tentpole films such as Pirates, X3 and Superman Returns, the war has finally begun. The full trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest came out last night, 20th Century Fox is ready to go nuts with X-Men: The Last Stand, and now Warner Bros has put in their stake with the feature trailer for Superman Returns.
What can we do? All of these films look so dang sweet!
Superman Returns Feature Trailer
Though I originally thought the special effects would wow me into submission, it is Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor that I plan to long remember after Superman Returns hits theatres. The actor plays the role so well that you can't help but love him for it.
Ok, ok, the special effects are pretty sweet, and I especially love how crisp it looks when Superman takes to the air. The bullets that ricochet off Superman's chest -- sweet -- Lex Luthor learning about Superman from Marlon Brando -- disturbingly cool -- a plane falling out of the sky -- just plane crazy.

Now that each studio has had a chance to show how terrific their tentpole film will be, I can't wait to see what is in store for us over the next few weeks. The war has begun, these films are going to have to give us all they got before each one gets released to theatres.
And for that we couldn't be happier.
Check out the feature trailer for Superman Returns over at Quicktime.
Superman Returns will fly into theatres on June 30th.
