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

[jye4ever]

The Bruce Wayne perspective of the MOS events at the start was fantastic. That sold how serious it was better than MOS itself actually did with Superman and Lois having their first kiss amid the devastation, Superman smugly destroying a drone and giving attitude to the general and then everyone at Daily Planet smiling and going about their day like the city hadn't just been met with a 9/11-topping event.

Question concerning Bruce's vision while he was sleeping.

Spoiler

When Flash says: "Lois Lane is the key!" Does he mean that Joker can't kill Lois or am I mixing 2 stories?

 

[azurepred]

I agree, some of it did.

The batmobile came off RC toy like in some scenes, not many though.

the end of that chase defn was noticeable to me, but that was the only part that looked like bad cgi off the top of my head.

I love BB/TDK and getting to love BvS, depends on that extended if I will fully embrace it or not.

But I do at the very least like BvS.

I for one like all batman flicks including Batman and Robin, but I agree, every time I see super heroes on the screen I forgot how bad the story is and just grin at the fact we live in an age that no matter how horrible the flicks are, we got mor exposure from them.

Put me in the group of didn't like the Nolan films but liked this one.

Amy Adams is terrible imo and she and cavill have zero chemistry.

I agree. Lois Lane really is terrible in this movie. They should have called it Batman vs Superman vs Lois Lane because she was in so many damn scenes. People complain about how bad Padme/Anakin is with no chemistry... I don't see how those people can complain about them without doing the same for Lois/Superman. It really is just awful seeing these "love" moments between the two. I have read quite a few reviews and no one has complained about Lois.

Yeah if anyone tries to paint this movie as a failure they are dead wrong, true that next weeks box office is still critical BUT lets also remember that this opening was large EVEN with the bad reviews holding it back.

To early to not call it a failure. It still could bomb financially. In my opinion, the people who watch it the first week are the die hard comic book fans. The second week and on are the casual fans or those going back to see it twice. The thing is, how will the negative reviews impact the casual movie goer audience. Hopefully it gets pass the one billion mark.

Whilst Star Wars TFA got a 92%? It was a remake of A New Hope and apparently is one of the greatest movies reviewed of all time.

Not signaling you out, but TFA getting a 92% actually makes sense. If it really is a copy/remake of A New Hope as so many people think (which scored a 94%) of course it will score good. Similar plot, same characters, add in a new Vader and an awesome little droid with Rey.... it makes sense why critics gave it the score they did. Plus, it is actually a good movie in my opinion

Seen this twice now. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The negative critical response is more than a little extreme. Some of the editing feels a little choppy, and the film itself is a bit over stuffed, but other than that it's a fine film by my standards.

The performances in particular range from pretty good to excellent. Affleck killed it (not that I ever doubted him) and his every moment and exchange with Alfred had me smiling from ear to ear. I also loved the intellectually misguided and emotionally unstable portrayal of Lex - twitches, shakes, snot running down his nose, and all. He was rather unsettling. Wonder Woman was pretty hot and a lot of fun. The score was beautiful and the visuals were impressive. This is DC's best effort in years.

Also, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the recoil of Joe Chill's gun snapping Martha Wayne's pearl necklace in the opening sequence. As far as I know the breaking of her pearls upon her murder has never been depicted like that, and I thought it was just a brilliant visual decision to do so.

Well, i'm going let the cynic in me come out and say that since this movie didn't beat JW, IM3, AOU and Avengers opening weekends that the suits inside WB are now considering *firing Irishjedi for failing to excite the SSF members.













* I hope that doesn't happen.

Going for the 2nd view this week. I'm going to a 4DX theatre for the first time!

I have never been to one and I don't know if I would be excited about a machine throwing water on me when Clark jumps into the bath tub with his dirty shoes on.

I did find it amusing that Wayne had to call the people at his building to tell them to evacuate when it was seconds away from toppling -- like they were waiting for his go-ahead. At that point I knew this thing would have some easily-avoidable problems.

450 mil worldwide it seems. thats great to hear. it wasn't a bad movie at all it just needed work ( a ton of work).

Hey how does lex know that Clark kent is superman? Like he found his mom at the diner but how on earth did he know? Is he watching him to?

 

[Deckard]

Jimmy Kimmel told him.

He finds out from the crashed ship, doesn't he?

 

[jye4ever]

How does anyone not know Clark isn't Superman!

Whatever....I don't care!

Greatest criminal mind of the century.

I did lol at Superman's mom working at a bar. Don't forget to take out the trash, Martha.

He flew a helicopter into Metropolis, got in a car and drove to his building so he could call them on his cell phone and tell them to evacuate.

He did save a little girl though, so I guess it was worth it.

Pa Kent suicide means no life insurance.

What a loser!

He probably figured Superman would just rob banks to support Ma Kent!

He figured he was going to get into the building himself.

Even Batman is limited to what his wealth of technology can accomplish.

I believe after Sept 11th they're building new skyskrapers with fast escape elevator tubes, or at least they should!

I'm not sure if this has been addressed already or not but...

Spoiler

How is it that Luthor not only knows who Superman and Batman are behind their secret identities but he also has knowledge of basically all of the future members of the justice league. What would stop him from just telling the world who they really are?

What criminal gives away information for free, especially if it's just to help society?

No, they hold onto it for extortion or for any of the other dozens of reasons criminal masterminds hold onto critical information that will benefit only one person, themselves.

Release it at the right with greater impact to hurt others!

Think Evil!

Not Evilface....just Evil!
