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

What does he mean by "real superheroes" though?

Someone needs to ask Clint Eastwood what he thinks about comic book movies. Is he still on speaking terms with his son after SS?

"Hey Dad I finally get to play my own breakout character. He's called "The Man with no Lines."

I'd assume, judging by the fact that he's promoting a film about World War II, it's your standard "the real heroes are the men and women in uniform" type deal. The big question on my mind is: can someone please show him Suicide Squad, so we can find out his opinions? I bet it would be glorious.

Ah I forgot that he just directed a WWII biopic.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

(yes, that's the OG WW)

Well, that's settles it. That's almost like the Pope...or Jesus saying BVS sucks.

Am I the only one who remembers how bat **** crazy mel gibson is? he's pratically on charlie sheens level now.

Mel loves BvS- he just won't admit it because bashing it is so "in" these days

I did think he meant to say CW by the way

BATMAN v SUPERMAN "A Piece Of *****"; Confirms Lack Of Interest In Superhero Movies
During a Q&A following the Venice Film Festival premiere of Hacksaw Ridge, Mel Gibson didn't hold back when it comes to his thoughts on superhero movies and Batman v Superman in particular.


Mel Gibson is a very outspoken guy, so it probably shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to learn that he's the latest filmmaker to speak out against superhero movies. After Hacksaw Ridge received a standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, Deadline caught up with him to ask for his thoughts on the current state of Hollywood, and he didn't hold back when it came to his thoughts on blockbusters.

"I look at them and scratch my head. I’m really baffled by it. I think there’s a lot of waste but maybe if I did one of those things with the green screens I’d find out different. I don’t know. Maybe they do cost that much. I don’t know. It seems to me that you could do it for less. If you’re spending outrageous amounts of money, $180 million or more, I don’t know how you make it back after the tax man gets you, and after you give half to the exhibitors." However, there's one movie in particular he's not fond of. "What did they spend on ‘Batman v Superman’ that they’re admitting to? And it’s a piece of ****." That's going to upset a lot of comic book fans, but Gibson probably doesn't care.

Why? Well, he has zero interest in the genre. "I’m not interested in the stuff. Do you know what the difference between real superheroes and comic book superheroes is? Real superheroes didn’t wear spandex. So I don’t know. Spandex must cost a lot."

Well, I like superhero films and they make up a large percentage of what I see in the cinema these days. Interesting to hear Gibson's opinion on it all though.

 

[EVILFACE]

Then why did he cast Spider-Man in his new flick?

Opinion on a movie genre he has never seen...

A has-been coming out of the woodwork - he must need some publicity before making Passion 2.0.

You're way too obsessed with Marvel.

He's not criticizing the actors in the films, just the studios that make them.

That's Martin Riggs you're talking about...

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Exactly. He may be a nutjob but Gibson has made and starred in some fantastic films. Funny how some people disregard his entire career when it suits them.

 

[spindrift]

Love Marvel films- just they are way too gushed over(as the best blah blah) as a tool of comparison when trashing DC films which I adore

 

[Khev]

Mel Gibson? Isn't he that idiot Best Director winner? What does he know? I mean it's not like every single cinematic battle featuring warriors charging toward each other on foot from FOTR to Civil War copied Braveheart or anything. Oh wait...
