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

[Starscream Soundwave]

Haven't given MoS a watch since BvS, but I would imagine it would make me appreciate it even more.

You want something fun then? Try going back to Revenge of the Sith after years of the Harmy OT and now TFA. I tried it a couple months back. I stomached it for about 15 minutes before having to shut it off.

I still feel like th smart play would be to resign the PT to the "Legends" status that the EU stuff is part of and do a full reboot. Keep the good, toss out the bad; everybody wins.

I always appreciated the musical score and the Smallville stuff in MoS, minus lolnado. Everything else was a problem for me and BvS isn't going to change that.

 

[batfan08]

It's actually really funny watching that gif play over and over with that music.

I feel like the Batmobile Chase, in its entirety, really needs to be made into a video with that music.

 

[a-dev]

I watched MOS the night before seeing BvS.

There's some great stuff in it:

-Superman's first flight is incredible
-Costner would indeed have been a great Pa Kent if not for some of the stuff he says and his suicide
-love the scene where he says young Clark playing with a pretend cape on
-Michael Shannon is great as Zod
-love the very last scene where Clark is introduced at the Daily Planet (its just that a jovial scene like that after the carnage and death beforehand is just very jarring)

Overall though I just can't get fully on board with this Superman and DCCU. It just goes about it in a way that is incorrect to me.

I also thought Shannon was great casting, from an acting POV (even if his size had to be significantly enhanced by the suit). Would have liked to see more of him in another context--say, Legion of Doom.

Never liked the Tornado sequence, either. And it was even worse in the script. Pa Kent had some lines of dialogue before being swept away that were beyond cringe-inducing.

This had me Googling for the script, only to find it isn't online apparently. I did find Drew McWeeny reporting on a leaked, early version of the script that actually just turns out to be fan fiction

“I bought it because I wanted to buy it,” reporter Drew McWeeny said in his honest explanation of why they ran the story.

I always think of MOS as the Mr. Bean version of Superman. His symbol stand for hope, he's here to help, yet at the end the city was destroyed, the villain was dead and none of it was his fault.

I agree with these.

Agreed. Keep the PT in circulation so they can keep making money off of it but label them "Legends" and just have Rogue One be the new Episode III or whatever.

Holy ****. That's true

And how did Clark get the job anyways? Dont you need references or maybe a degree to become a journalist/reporter?

 

[Khev]

Because he's kinda hawt.

You haven't watched Daredevil S2 huh?

 

[karamazov80]

You certainly don't need any specific degree, but it would be strange for a major city newspaper to hire someone on as a reporter without experiences, credentials, or references to support it.

 

[chewblacca]

Maybe Lois Lane vouched for him after she took some dictation?

 

[Starscream Soundwave]

Zod was one of my favourite parts of MoS. Shannon was great.

He murdered the last guy so there was an opening.

this one got me good

Nor the first season. lol

I checked and supposedly he's a freelance reporter/journalist. So he wouldnt need a degree but would have to show examples of well written articles that he's done (which the movies shows how much of a great writer he is)

Maybe Lois Lane vouched for him after she took some dictation?

LOL

He murdered the last guy so there was an opening.

Zod worked for the Daily Planet?

 

[e30ernest]

Nor the first season. lol

You're missing out. DD is pretty good. I'd say that and Jessica Jones are the best small screen superhero flicks right now.
