Everything please.

Thank you. .

I am pretty upset with everything I have been reading. I was going to make a long ranting scathing post..... but I will save it for Thursday night and include my thoughts on the bound to be **** show that is BvS.

I bet you end up liking the film. I think I will too, because the expectations are so low, that it would have to be Batman and Robin bad for it to be a disappointment.

Just came back from BvS showing. To be honest it is very under whelming. The pacing is all over the place, the story feels like many pieces are missing and the Batman character despite being portrayed by a great actor feels like it was written by someone who doesn't understands Batman very well.

I couldn't believe my eyes at the things that Batman does. This movie really ****s all over the very core that is Batman. The fight scenes are great though but they got the character so wrong.

Superman almost feels like an afterthought in this movie and Henry Cavill almost looks like he is phoning in his performance after such an excellent portrayal in MoS.

I am reserving my judgement on Wonder Woman until the Wonder Woman movie but as of now I feel like they casted the wrong actress for this. Hopefully the standalone movie will do the character justice.

Overall, the thing that really bothers me most is the fact that Batman kills non stop. Like he doesn't care and he kills and kills. Despite great acting from Ben Affleck, it is probably the worse written Batman role since Batman and Robin.

The CGI and design for Doomsday is also horrible and really takes me out of the movie. And as for Jesse's portrayal of Lex Luther, I am not a fun. It is entertaining but it feels like Mack Zuckerberg on meth

I kinda agree.
I really need to see it again to really make up my mind but yeah my feeling right now is being mostly dissapointed.
However i dont have a problem with the killing Bat, but i understand how it can be a big no no to batman fans.
Accurate description of Lex Luthor lol you summed it up pretty well.
Comic book fans are going to hate it.

Maybe the filmmakers were reading All-Star Batman & Robin, thinking it was what Batman should be like.

I'd rather not ask if there was a "******* Batman" joke.

Well, BvS Batman is heavily inspired by Miller's DKR,and the All Star Batman is the same (younger) Batman from DKR. So it would make sense.

This image conveys literally everything you need to know about Superman. The feelings this evokes through colour, composition, etc. What is so hard about finding writers and directors who 'get' this? Is everyone so bitterly cynical in this day and age that we have to drag a modern-day icon of hope and aspiration down to our grubby level?

Where else can this thread go now? The hate was smoldering away before and is now fully on fire. I think the parts of the movie that people had concerns about before are the issues that are now real. The posts in here are just going to keep going round in circles.

Nothing wrong with going round in circles like that puppy though you could say this thread has come...full circle!

I hear DoomsDay is the BeezNeez!

Cool podcast, listening to it right now.

Here's his review along with the rest of the Collider crew

We'll always have Superman 78, Batman 89, and BB. Even if this is just another Batman Forever or whatever it still has Wonder Woman kicking *** and looking fine. Being bummed about it will be like complaining about whoever the fourth or fifth Captain America is 20 years from now. This was WW's very first big screen appearance and it sounds like she made her mark satisfyingly enough.

Shh....don't speak his name.

That puppy is having fun though.

I predict an eventual thread closure, with a re-opening of a second thread, which will be more civil for a few posts until someone lights the fire again. I'm looking at crows, Rory, Gaspar... heck, anyone really. Then it's a party again.

Ahmed Best finally tweeted him back?

 

[batfan08]

Damn, even the reviewers I like aren't blown away by the movie, like Jeremy Jahns, and that dude always free of critic ********, he tells it how it is.

I just saw this post on 4chung

It's clear now that the long-awaited Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice has been met with some pretty harsh reactions from critics, holding close to a 40% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
​
I recently spoke with a source at Warner Bros who took place in a late-night conference call with execs following the initial flood of negative reviews. The call was moderated by exec Steve Spira and included many of the higher-ups at WB. Here's what my source had to say:

"WB execs are ******** their pants. If [Batman V Superman] makes less than a billion, [Zack] Snyder is out and Justice League will be delayed 8 months."


"Chris Nolan is being courted as a producer and George Miller, David Yates, Louis Letterier, and Vincenzo Natali are all being courted to take over Justice League."


"Wonder Woman is undergoing major rewrites to be more of a standalone film. Aquaman, Cyborg, and Green Lantern Corps. are all on the chopping block."


"Investors are planning a major takeover if [Batman V Superman] flops and have plans to install a board that will order the universe to be rebooted."

If this movie is really as bad as people are saying, I would consider not going to see it, but I already bought my ticket so what the hell. Anyway, if it's really as bad, meaning, worse than AoU and all the other crappy MCU movies, then I'm all in for a reboot with George Miller on top, Snyder has been given too many chances and I've supported him enough. I just hope they don't go full MCU because of this, I don't want that **** for DC.

I'll make up my mind tomorrow, see what critics are made of.

"From the visionary director who brought you Clash of the Titans, Now You See Me, and The Brothers Grimsby, comes the world's greatest superheroes, Justice League. In theaters Summer 2018."

Yeah, I'd probably stick with Snyder in that case.

Already come back from BvS, people keep say pacing is bad but honestly its not that bad. I already seen worse out there. Movie for sure is not light hearted and bleak, its will rub people the wrong way. My bros hated it and said movie too depressing but I am cool with it. Also I thought movie is try to tell that we are not live in a pretty world and Synder not sugar coated it. I definitely can recognize Watchmen vibe.

Movie is great but not mindblown, Batfleck is simply amazing. He is star of this movie. Maybe all people should reverse their judgment about Affleck after this, WW exist for kicking ***, Superman is little downer. The one I like

Spoiler

I just realize both Superman and Bat mother name is Martha. And using it for plot device is quite brilliant and unthinkable TBH.

The one I quite hate

Spoiler

how they reference another DC superhero here, its seems forced and long winded. They should cut it earlier right when those logo exposed

Now I have that song stuck in my head!

Thankfully I have no idea how that song goes and therefore can NOT get it stuck in my head.
