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

Well, it's officially better than My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2...I think.

Well, maybe it's just mine, but...



Oh well, let's hope it'll improve eventually.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I liked it. Great fun but pretty silly in places. A big fun mess of a movie. Far better than MOS, but surprisingly it may alienate people who liked MOS.
I actually find it hard to comment on it without seeing it again. It was a sugar rush. I just wish someone would reign Snyders videogame aesthetics and narrative in.
If this had been smarter it would have been terrific. As it is there is a lot to enjoy, but it's very odd, odd in a tonally uneven way. My overriding feeling waking out of the theatre was that it was such a pity it was so cheesy. But having said that I really enjoyed some of it. I genuinely don't know what the mass general audiences will make of it. It's a movie you will either embrace or hate.

Pretty much what the Spanish review said.

Where is Rory with his take?

sorry I got dragged for beers. I agree pretty much with your take on it Carl, but based on what one thought of MOS?
It's gonna be hated and loved in equal measure I think. After seeing it I really do not understand how the movie has been marketed.
Oh and I want to see Wonder Woman now..

Well, Empire and Variety gave it good reviews, and we're now at 32%.

Sounds like I'm going to hate this movie. I like the MOS tone, just hated the acting and script, now this seems to be going the cheesy Marvel route. I'm still excited for Suicide Squad though.

It could not continue the Nolan-esque tonal quality of MOS- that movie didn't capture a large enough audience to launch a multi-film universe from...WB had to create something different and yes for all practical reasons more "Marvel-like" to capture the now superhero filled world they are trying to create...

Empire all too often are overgenerous with big releases like this which they later go back on in retrospectives. But I suppose they have to put out some sort of viewpoint.

CBR's Review: REVIEW: Wonder Woman Can't Save Dull "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" | Comic Book Resources

I don't know, all the rotten reviews seem to confirm what I feared: Pseudo-Intellectual BS is mashed together with video-game like visuals to create a pop-corn movie that thinks that it's "mature". Still, it's at 41% now, so it's starting to rise. Let's see where it stops.

ie; Paid off!

Well, I must admit, I look at reviews and Imdb-scores before I book tickets but this reminds me of The Lone Ranger and The Hobbit trilogy. Most people thought those movies were abominations but I ended up enjoying them. If it gets a 7/10 on Imdb I'll probably end up enjoying this flick as well. Or maybe my (bad?) taste and prejudice/nostalgia will influence my final thoughts. Only 40 hurs untill I can judge the BvS myself...

 

[jye4ever]

Rory kind of liked it, this movie must kick ass!

In the 30s is my bet

No. No. No.

But I don't think it deserves the crucifying it's getting at the moment.
Listen it was more fun than the trailers and I loved Wonder Woman.

 

[Shai]

and its a FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP !!!

 

[Victοr]

I was hoping/betting for 65-70%. Now? Eh, I'm gonna go for a nice 60%. Not bad, just not great. Eh, we'll see. The night's still young...

Yeah Empire is a glossy paid for rag these days. Gone are the days when it had any credibility.

I just looked at RT, 32% rotten.

 

[Uncle Bingo]

Down to 29%
