I think Force Awakens is overrated as **** and boring as a sequel but it's a far more competent and better made movie compared to BvS. BvS is a mess, I don't see how someone looking at that in post production didn't look at these cuts and edits and think "man, this needs fixing". I wonder what test audiences thought. I wonder what Affleck thought.





BvS does offer more in terms of new stuff with that God theme though as opposed to Force Awakens' safe n' friendly soft reboot/remake.


Man i still remember when you were really excited about BVS, from the clip you ve seen and the ideas at work.
Do you think the extended cut wich seem to have not only new scenes but also seems to be edited différently could make you change your mind or its a done deal for you?
 
It wasn't to make him feel human. It was to make the humans around him more comfortable. Going to all the trouble of making him indistinguishable from a living human would be pointless if he didn't wear an oxygen suit because he didn't technically need it.

Yep, Supes is trying hard to fit in and its probably a reflex.
His parent must have busted his ass more than often about that "Clark put your jacket on!" "But Pa i dont need it im not cold!" "Put it on!".

Ah yeah, that was it. Haven't seen it in a while :lol

Sort of related, I always wonder about people who suggest Wolverine shouldn't wear armor because he has a healing factor. I imagine he still doesn't enjoy being shot and stabbed. :lol

[emoji38]Those must be purist figure collectors who only want Wolverine to look a certain way. The guy heals fast but he still feels pain.
 
So, since I´ve seen this last week and I wanted to sink this in a bit, I thought giving my 2 cents:

Very cool movie, I genuinely say that...BUT...

Superman:
Henry Cavil lost something of his play, I don´t know why. I still love him as Superman, he definitely has the looks and in MoS he had the feel, in BvS something was missing. I don´t know what happened. Will have to check the home release.

Batman:
Ben Affleck as Batman is knocking it outta the park. Intense, really is. Essentially we got the Arkham Batman here, but with a Miller Bats spiced, I concur partially with other guys who said that here. Love the brutality and his fighting style. Looking forward to the solo movie AND Suicide Squad. He´s the best part in the movie for me.

Wonder Woman:
Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is good. Not great, but good. She deffo has the looks but she´s missing 2 (3?!) major assets: T&A. She is just too skinny, I have to give right to my GF on that. She called her "Skinny b****" and she IS "right" with it. She´s called Wonder "Woman" for a reason. Her build really is more skinny and girly then adulty female, I have to say that. But otherwise...in the fight, looks and charisma...she is good. Great chemistry with Affleck too, but will have to see her solo movie though.

Doomsday:
Doomsday was a bit to fancy looking, but underpowered. He barely stood his ground against the 3, when he oblitered the JL in his first appearance bare handed.
His "EMP-evolutionary-blast-eyelaser"-thing was way over the top. Normally he would´ve died, adapted, regenerated and overcome the injury and get back, but here? In the fight? Too fast, too much FX. Good looking, but too much. And I really hope Snyder honors his immortality, so in JL the spear gets pulled and he just regenerates. That´s the only thing where this would make sense.

Story:
The storylines teased are intense too. I get why people call this a c************ and/or are confused, especially the casuals. Darkseid, Red Son, Death & Return of Superman, Justice League (Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg all looked great), there´s a lot in that, but Warner puts several loads in the oven to gain on Marvel and it worked...for me. But that´s all so far. I liked it, the movie was definitely not boring and I am stoked to see there this leads too.

Music
The music in MOS was wonderful and I still hold it dear to my heart and the whole movie had beautiful sequences.
BvS has a much weaker score. Don´t get me wrong, of course it´s great they honor the continuity with the same elements from MoS and those still shine, but I, for example, don´t get the grip on the Wonder Woman Theme and many things just sound generic in the score. The only piece I love is the piano part in "the red capes are coming", otherwise I don´t remember much, if any at all from the score.

Overall
So Man Of Steel had a clear 10 with me.

It had several beautifl shots. I love the whole scene when he flies for the first time, or the escape from the ship. The music there alone kills it totally.
In BvS I don´t have any of this, although there are beautiful shots in it.
Maybe Warner charged it too much and it wants to be too much, have to see how this all plays out.
But I like the movie very much, still and I´m stoked for the "ultimate cut" home release.

I give BvS a solid 9.
 
Doomsday:
Doomsday was a bit to fancy looking, but underpowered. He barely stood his ground against the 3, when he oblitered the JL in his first appearance bare handed.
But in fairness, in the comics, he took out the Justice League C-listers Guy Gardner, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, and Fire and Ice. The most impressive non-Superman takedown was of Martian Manhunter.
