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

[Sweet Rabbit]

The theatre where I saw it showed the latest civil war trailer. The audience I was with seemed more excited about Spider-man than at the end of Batman v Superman.

People were leaving early in the one I went to

I did kind of hate him throwing his most valuable asset down like that. Ideally, I'd have liked to see something like "I'll help you get your mother, but I'm keeping this." Basically letting him know that he's giving him the benefit of the doubt, but, should he ever go rogue, he'll have a contingency in place. Instead, he just chucks it across the room so Superman's girlfriend can abscond with it and hide it somewhere.

That's the logical way of making a simple, but effective story. Now watch WB do that story, but add a subplot involving time travel with Flash, a subplot involving Aquaman fighting terrorists, Batman investigating something, Lex's new evil plan to escape from jail, a Wonder Woman and Batman romance, the introduction of Plastic Man and Hawk Girl and a set up for JL 3 and the Shazam movie

At that moment, Superman is like, "B****, I can take a nuke to the face! I can kill you from a mile away and I know who you are and where you sleep....I'll burn your **** off!"

Because at this point, batman realized he was wrong about superman.
Also, In comicbooks, it was superman who gave batman kryptonite in case he ever loses control of himself and trusts batman to take him down.

I was thinking that during the movie and it still might happen.

I'm just saying that this is a guy who takes precautions in case his precautions for his precautions fail. At the same time, though, he's also an emotionally stunted individual who was clearly taken aback in that moment, so, I'll let that slide, in retrospect.

WB should've not shown these 4 scenes in their trailers:

Batman's future vision.
WW
Warehouse fight.
Batman crashing his car into mopey.

One scene I can't get out of my head is the slow build up to the cop realizing Batman is hiding in the corner of the ceiling, that was freaking awesome!

The creepiest and scariest Batman has ever been in a movie!

I loved how the slave girls were like...he's still here!

I am so proud of my son, he watched BvS like a champ AND didn't have any knightmares, not even of Superman!

If a kid can tolerate Snyder Superman he's ready for the world!

 

[crows]

Yup, only he can save JL

Either way, I'm ready for Snyder's JL

whats capekino?

kara i'm almost finshed with the custom Batman you requested for your shelf....

I saw it last night and loved it, 9/10 for me. Not enough batman. What a mean son of a ***** he is though

The film really makes you feel for Supes. Batman nearly ended him, he got nuked, then impaled!

Kinda wish doomsday and the death of superman story arc weren't in it. I was loving the realistic approach then it was a cgi fest at the end. The dawn of the justice league would have been a lot more bad ass if batman, ww and Supes all went off together at the end to find the others.

It definitely isn't a badly made film. I never cringed once. Well maybe slightly when that music started to play when Bruce laid eyes on the photo of Wonder Woman. But even when watching lex, I thought he was great. No one can seriously say this is a badly made film. If you don't like it then fine, that's your opinion, but it's not bad at all.

It's definitely s comic book nerd film. That's what you get when zack is in charge.

All in all I loved it. Can't wait to watch it again.

Yeah, I really didn't buy the 180 degree change of heart with Bats there. It's like he had a religious epiphany at that moment when he connected Superman with his own mom. And in the process, everything he believed so strongly in to that point, had killed people for, trained in a Rocky montage for, etc., all fell away. And he willingly just left the kryptonite spear hanging around.

But even if we assume his change of heart was so sincere, he just left the spear there to be found by someone else? So, he will never attempt to stop Superman again, but has no problem with Toyman or Parasite running across it by chance, so they could kill Supes with no problem.

I'm fully invested and respect how Marvel is handling their long term cinematic relationship with the fans imperfect as it may be and i'm fully guilty of accusing DC of trying to expedite their own cinematic universe at the expense of a proper build up BUT I can't deny the fact that I had a blast watching BvS!

 

[Starscream Soundwave]

Sorry, but it was the very definition of badly made. The focus was all over the place, there were subplots that didn't need to be there and then there's the unnecessary ending where things just got silly.

I think the serious tone worked well in MoS, but in this there was just a little too much ridiculousness for it to work properly.

i was disappointed with Lex being cast for this before but now that i think about it Snyder ruined the bad guy in watchmen with bad casting too.
i love watchmen a lot but the casting of ozymandias. even as a huge fan of the movie i couldnt deny how terrible that casting was, I guess this was no different

The spear is the # 1 thing that keeps bugging me over all else, even more so than the unecessary Lois investigation subplot...cut that crap out in the extended.

I keep hoping Gaspar will convince me otherwise with a proper rational reason why Batman went and did his most blundering tactical move in his history!

How could he leave the spear that can kill Jesus laying around like a toy lightsaber!

WB is fully aware of this hence the immediate announcement of an extended cut even before the release of their subplot from hell movie!

Word from the inside is that WB's primary goal with the extended cut is to get DiFabio onboard with this movie and change his SSF review!

 

[jye4ever]

Speaking of reviews, of all the movies for khev to delay watching it had to be this one!?

He looks like he belongs in a Brian Singer X-Men movie.

I know you loved it...bet you cried when you saw Costner on the screen

 

[jye4ever]

Had they ended the Costner vision with a snow tornado I would've kissed the ground and proclaimed it to be the best cbm ever made!

A tornado wouldn't have stuck out in that movie.

the character needed to be friendly and outgoing, charming, elegant, you never suspect him, the all american hero. kinda like a father figure too

Synder makes him a shady, creepy arrogant rich a hole (and much younger) completely the opposite of what the character was meant to be.

i guess i should not have been surprised

So you want the extended cut. . .to actually remove stuff that was in the theatrical cut? Don't hold your breath Chances are it will be even more overstuffed with unnecessary sidebars than the the theatrical version, not less.

Agree too many sub plots that weren't handled very well for my liking. Focus on the core story could have worked fine but I still found it mostly an entertaining movie. Tone was ok but I can follow where your going.....everyone hating life can get old real fast. Adding the King of Atlantis and a Frankenstein Cyborb to the mix will only keep the good guys brooding going for many films to come.

Replace it with more Batman killing security guards scenes.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

An extended cut or at least a better edited cut on blu ray would probably help this movie
