It reminds me of the It's Always Sunny episode when Mac wore the bald cap with the wig on top of it

Guessing you didn't like 300, Watchmen, or Man of Steel?

Would any of those be considered great movies? I can understand someone enjoying them but none of those were great pieces of filmmaking and matter of fact all were considered mediocre as a general consensus.
I personally think they were all failures or disappointing. Not complete failures, they had touches of great here and there but the guy has never elevated to anything more then middle of the road as a director yet he has continued to get such high profile movies .

Yep. Still really unsure about this movie, but Batman looks fucking awesome. Seeing him move like he's never moved in the movies before combined with that amazing costume is fucking perfection. As a fanboy, I would honestly rather have standalone Batman movies more than any Justice League stuff. But, I guess I've had my way long enough.

This is OK, but I would honestly remove the roar completely, and just end the trailer with "What have you done?" then cut to black.
None of those are considered great. I think the only film I would say that's "great" that he's done was dawn of the dead but that was a long time ago.
edit: I do like Affleck as batman. If he's able to direct/write his own stand alone film I would have complete faith in it.
300 was like nothing before it; it literally looked like comic book coming to life on the big screen. And Watchmen was considered to be an unfilmable story that would never work on the big screen, yet he delivered a great (Ultimate Cut) movie.

Actually, the way I remember it, Watchmen was considered great right up until Man of Steel came out.

Dawn of the Dead is still my fav of his, TBH.
Man of Steel was just above mediocre.
300 actually has some great sequences, but I have issues with the source material (and, therefore, his slavish interpretation).
Watchmen...he completely missed the mark. There are admirable parts in it, but I think it's a failure, largely BECAUSE its so uninspired and faithful only in a superficial way.
Watchmen is considered mixed if anything. Maybe a little more positive than negative. Not enough to be considered great.
No it wasn't...not by a majority anyway. Sure some people may think so, but it's been panned pretty heavily here. It was one of the most boring movies I've ever sat through personally.

You remember it wrong. Its almost as polarizing as MoS in some circles.

gaf is like the antithesis of the majority, don't take gaf's opinion on anything as what normal people think
Yes, I know but I'd rather prefer if they didn't give her an indestructible shield in the movies when she already has her bracelets. People are going to compare her to Captain America.

That Lex Luthor performance already made me dislike the movie.
Well he is one of the world's best detectives.
Even on rotten-tomatoes it's mixed by both the critics and audience reviews. What other barometer would you like to use?

Maybe if Sin City hadn't come out first.
You mean aside from him smacking Clark's chest, remarking that Clark has a strong grip, and then telling Bruce he wouldn't want to fight Clark? Dude is trolling on a master level.
I don't know about great but lots of people enjoyed it, sure. It was a bit polarizing, though not as much as MoS.

This generation's Batman and Robin, calling it now.
76% Audience Score is mixed to you? The 56% Critics Score is mixed. 76 % is positive. Anywhere else Man of Steel is in the postives. Rated 4/5 stars on iTunes. 4/5 on Google Play. 7/10 on IMDB. CinemaScore gave it an A-.
The critic opinions and audience opinions did not line up at all.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Yeah but movies do that type of thing as a wink to the fans as well, it's a source of humor. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that he knows who either of them are based off those lines. They'll use that scene in lighter toned commercials probably as a note to end on.

Il sure you'll get plenty of that in the inevitable gay porn parody.
The Lex I wanted. What I got... Other than that. I dont hate it too much.
This trailer was clearly made to address every complaint people had about the previous ones.
No humor/levity = Jokes on jokes from Bats, Supes, and Lex.
Why are they fighting? = They do because they have a disagreement then they team up.
Looks too dark = more bright scenes and crazy action "comic booky" scenes
I don't understand the plot/too vague = pretty much gives you a synopsis.
Problem was they needed to realize some of these complaints were dumb and ignore them, or at least not try to address them all in the same trailer.

Good lord, that hyperbole... in addition to the complete misunderstanding as to what made Batman and Robin terrible.
Figures someone would do it before me. Didn't have energy to do it last night when it released just got around to it now.
Here's my version, pretty similar.

Watchmen (what that comment is referring to) is 70% on RT. I would consider that mixed, yes. Either way, 70's are not "great."

I wouldn't call 70% "mixed." even calling 65% "mixed" is a bit of a stretch.
either way, i wasn't making a statment about the movie, only that gaf is a terrible barometer to use for pretty much anything.
That... isn't true.
really hope doomsday takes actual shape like his comic part instead of being generic Abomination look alike.
reminds me of the 2014 turtles

Watching this trailer again it feels like it was made in response to people saying the movie isn't lighthearted enough but the people making the movie don't actually know how to do lighthearted so this is what we got.
Oh OK. I just thought you would mind that someone has the same avatar as yours. I guess we're all good then
Geez, GAF is very territorial, huh?
Of course I don't mind, it would be a petty thing to care about. I wish everyone would rock a JJ avatar ;D.

I still don't get the "They should have a Wonder Woman origin story first!" posts. I mean... the DCAU Justice League cartoon introduced Wonder Woman (and several other characters, including a Green Lantern that was not the same one previously introduced in Superman TAS), in the very first episode (which was double, so, I guess, sorta like a short-movie).
If it worked for a cartoon intended for kids, why wouldn't it work in a film series intended for the general audience?

really? that first minute is as good as any 'light-hearted' back and forth banter i've seen in the genre. bruce had some great jabs in there. and lex made it appropriately awkward
the trailer goes off the rails after that though.
You can call 70% mixed but that would be factually wrong. 7 out of 10 is a "majority". 6 out of 10 would be "above average".
Not it's not... Man of Steel was definitely not critically acclaimed. Do you really believe this?
Where is it implied he knows their secret identities?
All bad films. To me of course.

Because that's the way Marvel did it (and its largely been the way super hero movies have worked since X-Men) so people have trouble seeing past it.
It's not like they did their origin story in the Justice League comics either and those were for kids too.
My point is none of his movies are considered GREAT and it's not something exclusive to neogaf.

I hope Lex doesn't figure out Superman's identity. It's kind of an important character trait that Superman's identity is constantly under his nose and he can never see it. Superhero movies seem to be putting secret identities in the outdated bin along with spandex though so who knows.
Indeed. "Let's show them everything".
Then don't even take the time to pause on Bruce stealing Clark's soul, like this much better trailer does.
