Just curious, what else brought down the film for you?

The unnecessary scenes like the Pa Kent sequence. They complicated things by having Lois Lane looking for some bullet or whatever she was after...that was not necessary either, and the poor editing and weird out of place scenes. Things got really interesting when the bomb went off and I thought Superman was going to get the blame for that, giving Batman even more of a reason to go after him, but then right after it happens, they knew who was really responsible, so that went nowhere. I didn't like the way Doomsday looked either. He has a very unique and iconic look in the comics, so why take that away from him and give him a generic look...I don't know? The fight between Batman and Superman...the whole selling point of the film, it was underwhelming, too quick, not very creative at all, and I think the fight from the animated TDKReturns film was much better and more epic. I loved what ended the fight...loved it, but the fight sucked. I thought Bruce Wayne's first dream was unnecessary and maybe out of place, and there were a few small scenes like that, but I can't remember them, but I know they were just completely out of place with the story.
 
If Superman was responsible for the massacre in Africa how come no one bothered to check for the bullet holes in their bodies?
 
Superman was getting blame for the death of the guys that were killed by the Lex Luthor goons, right? Since when does Sups uses a gun to kill people? :lol

It was that they were killed because he was there. Because he interfered. I don't think they thought Superman SHOT or was actually responsible for the deaths. It was they were shot because of him. Not by him.

Sooooo is this thread safe or has it gone full retard? Is it good to discuss or is everyone memeing each other? :lol

Interestingly; it's been pretty good since people actually started seeing the movie. I mean, there are people who really don't like it but it seems to have gotten cooler in here, believe it or not.
 
Just saw this movie...

What I liked...
1) the batman armor fight scene.
2) Gal Gadot wearing the WW outfit. Wow did she looked great. I WANT A STATUE MADE OF HER NOW!!
3) Alfred was good.
4) The second half of the movie.

What I did not like....
1) Lex Luther. Very annoying and too skinny.
2) superman's suit. Too muscular.
3) Doomsday was made by Lex Luther?? Really. Spikes at the end was good though.
4) The first half of the movie
5) The Flash sneak peak character. Just plain awful.
6) Surprise Martian Manhunter & GL did not get any cameo.
7) Not enough Wonder Woman. She was damn hot! A Statue needs to be made of her!

7/10
 
Oh good. Cause I loved this movie. I freaking loved it... It's not perfect, but man, it's far far away from that 20 or 30 something on RT...

Agreed. The critics are completely outta hand with this film (franchise).

8.5/10 for me.

Only issue was the choppy editing at times that really compromised the ending for me. Had the ending been more concise and not all over the place BvS would have easily been a 9/10 for me.

I had several issues with it, but the good things heavily outweigh the bad ones, as for now it stands on a flimsy 8, but it could go down.

The editing was not a problem for me, personally, I was able to keep up perfectly with the pace, but I was kind of familiar with the story since the plot leaked out a while back so that probably helped with me.

Welp.... the biggest hater (me) ended up liking it! :lol

Thread is safe by the way Gaspar :lol
 
I saw it tonight. Still processing it a bit, but it wasn't as bad as I feared it would be. I enjoyed it more than MOS, and though the tone is dour and grim, I didn't feel depressed and gloomy walking out. Though based on that ending, it seems that's what Snyder and company wanted! I do agree that it's not as bad as you would think looking at the RT score. But then, if you read specific critical reviews instead of just focusing on the RT percentage, most of the critics seem to think it's more or less an average, somewhat disappointing movie, not that it's terrible. And I guess that's where I fall, too.

I thought Batman was pretty great. His horror movie scene early on, the fight with Lex's thugs, his interactions with Alfred, the fight with Supes, he was pretty good in all of it, and Affleck did great. I wouldn't say he's the best Batman we've seen, but I probably would put him on par with the Nolan/Bale version. However, there were issues throughout this movie for me, and for Batman in particular, it was two-fold, on first go-around with this movie 1) he killed guys in his first scene in the Batmobile, who as far as he knew, had done nothing worse than trying to protect a Lex Luthor-funded convoy transporting a special item. I don't like Bats as a killer, but in general I was able to accept it in this movie. This though, was pretty crazy. It's like killing bodyguards for simply trying to be bodyguards. Made me grimace.; and 2) his about-face after hearing Clark whisper to him at the end of their fight was a bit hard to swallow. He goes from extensive planning and a total willingness to kill this guy to letting him go, helping him, and treating him like his best bud? Even waxing sentimental in the final scene, about how he should have done more for the guy or whatever? That took me out of the movie.

I thought Supes was pretty good. Actually better than I liked him in MOS. But he was a terribly unbelievable Clark Kent. Wonder Woman seemed a'aight, but a bit wooden. Did not like her weird theme, and it annoyed me whenever that started going.

I did not like Lex at all. I thought he was annoying as hell. I laughed during his last appearance talking about the ringing bells. Really reinforced my worst fears about him going in. Did not understand why he orchestrated the explosion, exactly. He mentioned that it helped him to motivate Batman to take on Superman, but. . .why would that have happened? It was obvious that Superman didn't cause it, and Batman would have known that. It didn't serve any utilitarian purpose that I could figure out (though I guess it's possible that it was a means of Lex being allowed to get the remaining politicians to support his plan to kill Supes?). And in the process, Lex apparently kills off
Mercy,
who didn't really do much of anything in the movie anyway. So, I don't know exactly why she was even in this one.

Doomsday was lame, and the uber-action in that fight was way more X-TREME than it should have been. BUT. . .Snyder. I thought the meta-human cameos were kind of lame, but in fairness, their insertion wasn't as forced as it otherwise could have been. Didn't feel the movie needed the downer ending, when obviously
Superman will be revived

I knew you'd enjoy it. Good for you Gaspar. There's the CBM fan in me that is still curious about BvS but there's also the cinema snob in me that knows it'll be a frustrating watch. I'm glad there are fans that are getting enjoyment from the film though.
 
Is it a coincidence that today is Good Friday (for those of you who know a thing or two about religion)?
Superman sacrifice himself and died today...just like Jesus in the Bible and just like Jesus he was buried and he will come back from the dead...I guess they're still continuing the whole Jesus thing with Superman, which I don't mind, but it's a big coincidence that today Christians are celebrating Good Friday
 
Not so quick!

I will be waiting. :lol


Hey Jye4ever! Just got back... Going to have to look at your review again and see where we agree and disagree... Where we do agree is that I also found it to be an enjoyable film... Far from perfect but I was entertained. I had some issues (too many dream sequences, Luthor's motivation plus others) but nothing that stopped me from enjoying the film.

I liked this much more then MOS, IM3, and AOU which are the three worst modern comic movies IMO. This was nowhere near those abominations.
