Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 24th, 2016)

[a-dev]

I guess the same way they took to the successful Nolan trilogy.

I'm amazed if kids like the Nolan trilogy. I'd have thought there's too much talking for them.

 

[pturtle]

Well I usually group teenagers as kids, and I assume Nolan's trilogy was rated PG13 so teenagers could watch it. Has there ever been a movie made specifically for an older demographic that cracked a billion?

I think as long as theres big action set pieces kids will be excited to watch this.

I love reading people defending garbage.... Brainwashed and delusional [emoji38] This is nothing compared to the people who think the new FF movie looks great!!!

You yourself sounds like you are the one who is brainwashed by Marvel, judging from your "loki2371" profile name.

When did he make that choice? Was it when he was saving people from the oil rig? When he turned himself in so that Zod didn't destroy the earth? Was it when he was across the world stopping the alien machine that was going to destroy the whole planet? The only person he "chose" not to save was Pa Kent and that was dumb, but Pa Kent was right about how people would react to him if they knew the truth. Oh, he broke the villain's neck (which he wasn't happy about it), to save the civvies he was apparently "neglecting" [emoji38] The whole Superman "killed" a bunch of people nonsense is getting old. Maybe you're choosing not to see the good things he did, because you just don't like the film, which is fine...but "blaming" Sups for things that Zod did, and then neglecting the billions of people Superman actually saved on his first day on the job, makes no sense, and I hope they say that in BvS.

I agree, some people are blinded by their hate with MOS. Superman never really let anyone died. He tried to save people but considering it was his first day to be Superman and face powerful aliens who were experienced soldiers, I think that is the more believable thing that will happen to our planet. Funny because I think that is what Snyder wants to happen, for people to have different opinion and perspective. Just like in this Batman v Superman, where people are divided by their faith with Supes.

 

[RRJdesign]

Will this be marketed to kids too? These DC films have very little humor how will kids take to it?

I think that is the point. DC is not for everyone to like. Marvel movies are more family friendly, unless it is a Punisher movie or something.

I think the Nolan films are woefully inappropriate for children.

Man of Steel isn't appropriate for anyone.

 

[Devil_666]

Man of Steel isn't appropriate for anyone.

It's appropriate for people who like snapping necks.

 

[karamazov80]

Well I was going to say, ". . .except the suicidal and psychopaths" but didn't want to offend members of those groups.

 

[chewblacca]

I remember when I saw it a child was with his parents and when Supes kills Zod the boy asked what Supes did. Even in the dark I could see the father trying to figure out what to say. It was hilarious.

Pa Kent's demise is character assasination at its best.

His reason to do it felt so forced and silly.

That's fine. We were saved from Costner's wooden acting.

His reason was fine, and if the trailers are any indication Pa Kent was 100% right.

What was stupid was they put his death in a situation where Clark could've done 100000 things to save him without anyone finding out, it was poorly executed and excessive, a simple heart attack would've been a lot better, but it would've been a lot lot better if they kept him around a little longer, poor Pa Kent, always going Uncle Ben on him.

 

[jye4ever]

Had he chosen not to off himself with high winds he would've lived a miserable life anyways after what transpired at Metropolis at the hands of his clumsy son.

Billions in lawsuits on his dumb ass farm for keeping Kal a secret.

That's what he gets for owning a stupid dog anyways instead of a cat and harboring a Trump fugative.

Nah. It was probably when he made the decision to have a knock down, drag out, no holds barred superhuman brawl in the middle of a densely populated urban area and pay no regard whatsoever to the wanton destruction his actions wrought. There wasn't even an attempt on his part to take the battle elsewhere or minimise the resulting carnage. Not one moments pause after needlessly and bizarrely side-stepping an oil tanker slung at him, leading to an explosion that could easily have been avoided if he wasn't so overcome by anger and the thought of kicking a fellow Kryptonians arse (a couple of traits most people wouldn't consider should take precedence over caring about civilians when you're talking about the character of Superman) that he forgot how to catch. Not content with the chaos caused thus far, good old Supes then decides to make things even worse by smashing Zod out of an already decimated area into a different, as yet untouched, heavily populated, part of the city. For no reason whatsoever. Why? So some more **** can get smashed up? Wasn't there also a bit where a building collapses due (directly) to a sonic boom caused by one of Superman's thunderous punches? The entire building just collapses and 'the symbol of hope' doesn't even turn his head and mutter 'oops'? In Superman II, Clark lost control in the heat of battle but belatedly recognised the danger and panic his duking it out with a triumvirate of Kryptonian criminals, slap bang in the middle of the city, was causing. He fled, knowing that he could draw Zod and co away, get them to follow him to the Fortress Of Solitude and finish the battle away from any innocent bystanders. All it took to trigger such pangs of conscience was an exploding Coke sign, a few upturned phone boxes and a flying bus. Even in the much panned Superman Returns, SuperStalker was shown to be aware of and ready to react to potential dangers to the public whilst pursuing his primary objective. In Man Of Steel he doesn't even spare a thought for the people about to be crushed under falling rubble etc. He can't take a moment to rescue anybody nearby because the brawl is so intense, yet he can speed off to save Lois the minute he learns of her being in trouble? Then casually stand around asking how she's doing while people are suffocating and struggling to dig themselves out of the buildings he brought down round about them? Such selflessness is the stuff super heroes are made of.

That's one dumb child. His father should have snapped his little neck for asking such a dumb question. I wonder what he will think when he watches Superman 2 and sees Superman and Lois Lane killing the Kryptonians and then make joke of it? I'm sure Reeve's creepy smile at the end will make it all better and erase people's memory.

 

[karamazov80]

I actually think Kal-L's disregard for any other ethical consideration when it comes to Lois is one of the funniest running gags in the Superman films. I mean, in Superman: the Movie, he actually changes the course of history in order to save Lois. If he thinks changing history is acceptable at all, well with that power, he could have stopped the holocaust, prevented the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the Cultural Revolution in China, Pol Pot, Nixon, saved Native Americans from genocide, stopped slavery when it started, staved off the Black Plague, etc. But no. He only does it to save Lois

 

[olbertfrog]

Blahhhhhhhhhhhh
They destroyed Metropolis because it looks ****ing cool on screen that is all.
And it damn looked cool. For years Fanboys wanted Supes to fight not just punch rock or lift ****.
THERE you have and its ****ing APOCALYPTIC as it should be.
Going to the desert, yeah right as if you guys wanted to see that, he would have done something like this and you would be all saying "oh this so PC, its for the kidsi wanna see him kicking ass like in the animated stuff where they destroy cities"

Yes in Donner flick, Supes fled and Zod followed but looks like you forgot the past where Zod and his gang were doing the destruction on purpose, or when Zod says that he will will make suffer every human.
If Supes flew away Zod would not have followed him, he would have stayed and started hunting humans.

In Superman Returns, Supes has been superman for years.
That the whole point of the take, not the perfect Superman that no one can relate to and that has become boring.
Here Supes keep making mistake after mistake.
The guy gets angry when Zod touches his mom and flew trough a gaz station, leaving his mom behind with kryptonian.
Yep he definitly ****ed up big time in the battlen and he is going to pay the consequences,he is not good old supes, he is still trying to find howto fit in, uses his power the right way.By the end of the movie, Clark is welcomed to the planet but Kal El has yet to become Superman.
His arc is far from over, and i'm sure that good old Wayne is gonna do some mentoring after the beating.

The movie far from perfect but this aspect of the movie works already in the movie itself and will work even more with the follow up.
