So let me get this straight

Superman literally becomes Jesus at the end of it

is that what it is

he's going to come back 3 years from now and be like 'I lived'

If you count "the death of Superman" arc to be Jesus imagery, then sure.

Lasso - yes or not?

Yes!

 

[Doctor Decimate]

does Doomsday's look get better or does he look like a Ninja Turtle throughout?

 

[duckroll]

Okay, I think I'm going to enjoy the movie just fine.

 

[EroticSushi]

How far does Doomsday's appearance change from what we saw of his initial reveal? Read his spikes do grow out a bit more but is that it?

 

[NealMcCauley]

Oh yeah before bedtime: I didn't care for Fishburne's Perry in this. Like, at all. He's not a character but just a plot device with some bad attempts at newspaper jokes to flesh him out. His best scene was at the end when he didn't say anything.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Minimal role. Gadot is good, especially at trolling Affleck when she steals his shit

Good to know. Hyped for her movie next year.

Doomsday evolved through the battles, growing spikes and powers, but I was disappointed with how much more 'amazo' it felt than Doomsday. Then again not like Doomsday is worth a damn anyways.

 

[crazyrabbits]

I don't like the first half.

I really like the second.

I hate Lois Lane.

That's... not instilling me with extra confidence. And I loved MoS.

It's like a reverse Man of Steel.

 

[BronsonLee]

The reason they get Batman and Supes to throwdown is good too. Lex is such a dirtbag there

That's about as far as he goes, actually. As far as spikes growing out. Wonder Woman cuts his arm off and it grows a giant spike in place, but he basically looks like that picture. He starts with no spikes though. Just a gray monster. That's why people say he grows spikes.

[EroticSushi]

Grants costume is a master piece compared to this

I'm pretty sure someone looked at Injustice and thought "The Flash needs even MORE armor". Though they could easily excuse it by the armor being there from fighting Parademons in the future or something.

Wait, that was The Flash?

That looked like SHIT. Imagine Injustice Flash but like...more metal?

So he basically looked like this?

Throw on an extra unnecessary visor and you've got it pretty close.

Well now I wish they just fought Melzalgald from One-Punch Man.

[SpudBud]

Reading that batman kills people bums me out. I kinda expected it but it's still disappointing. The rest sounds interesting but I guess it's all in the execution.

 

[Magwik]

Like I said at first, you can easily dismiss it as armor he wore in the knightmare sequence because Parademons

 

[thecouncil]

Yeah, I did not get that dream sequence and the Flash appearance after that. It could have been eliminated and been just as fine. Flash was right in Bruce's face, hanging out of a portal and screaming at him about Lois Lane. You're only reaction after it ends can be "What.. the hell... was that?"

I'm holding onto that hope and that Justice League will rectify this...

How does the whole dream sequence even happen?

The SHH spoiler says that Bruce was decrypting a file when the sequence happens. How does it transition to that scene?

 

[thecouncil]

There were two montages I liked:

A beast of a shirtless Bruce Wayne training to fight Superman.

and

Superman actually saving people. That scene with him floating in the sky over a flood, with a woman reaching out to him, is aces. A real god among men.

Yeah, that's he problem. It's just... there. It starts after a normal scene and is pure insanity with parademons and Batman gunning people down, Bruce wakes up at his computer with Flash screaming at him about Lois, he wakes up a second time at his computer and decrypts some files.

He takes a Batnap

 

[IconGrist]

He takes a Batnap

Your reactions have been hilarious. I'm just crazy pumped to finally see this on Thursday.

 

[broncobuster]

Recounting it all in my head. The visions. Those were something. Here I thought MoS drowning in skulls and the naked skeletons in Watchmen were weird. Several points I'm sitting there thinking what the hell?

 

[duckroll]

So why are there Parademons anyway. Where's Darkseid?

 

[thecouncil]

*shrug* hell if this movie tells you.

I'm getting Thor-pool vibes, only somehow clunkier.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Link in the OP is broken, anyone have a mirror?

 

[Glass Shark]

Movie was okay, but oh my god that security footage stuff made me wanna puke.

DC realizes how far behind they are on this cinematic universe train and they're trying to cram too much in too fast. So thirsty.

EDIT: The Flash "vision" Bruce has was badass and unexpected though. They should have handled the reveals more like that. The hacking stuff was so clunky.

 

[thecouncil]

I didn't get why Doomsday was letting off these absolutely insane dome-shaped energy blasts that were leveling city blocks. It was unnecessary, truly. You see one in the trailers but it happens three or four times in the movie. It could have been eliminated but Snyder loves his destruction, I guess?

I also kinda chuckled when Superman flew Doomsday into space because of the destruction he was causing. It's like a direct effect of the Man of Steel complaints.

 

[bananafactory]

So here's a question for you guys who've seen it - how do you think critics are going to react to this?

 

[broncobuster]

I'm getting Thor-pool vibes, only somehow clunkier.

Not that. Think the Scarlet Witch visions gave Cap, Tony, and Thor earlier. Normal scene plays out and it's twisted. Or when Bruce sees Ra's in TDKRises. In fairness, it sets an expectation for visions at the start. Not everything is literal.

 

[broncobuster]

So...the easter egg in the credits works. It's not up or available yet. Interesting.

 

[Lord Virgin]

Probably hard to tell, but you guys think that on multiple viewings you'll enjoy it more/less? Some people hated MoS and came around on the second viewing, wonder how this movie will be in that regard.

And what would you rate it?

[M.W.]

So this thread makes me not want to see this. Sounds like a decent rental this summer

 

[Blunoise]

I love how nowadays people dictate their own experiences and opinions based on others smh

 

[Captain Pants]

Yikes. I'm almost sorry I asked.

 

[WaterAstro]

I think Marvel released that scene. It was pretty weird in the end.

 

[clay_ghost]

Huh, i got burned by Mos so a sequel to that from the same team will worry me. I don't want to waste my money to see something that I may dislike. If BVS is good, Reading everyone impression especially those who ones not like Mos like me help me decides if it's worth my time.

If you haven't seen the movie, I don't understand why you are in this thread.

You are letting others opinions shape your preconceptions and ruining all the story twists and surprises, which cheapens the experience if you do decide to watch it.

I have a bad memory, by the time I'll have gotten around to watching it I'll have forgotten 90% of the shit I've read in here.

I'm mostly just more curious about knowing what happens in the movie than I am in actually watching it happen, I guess.

I imagine it'll be better a second time because I won't feel lost in the first act. Said it in the DC thread, in the B range. Maybe B-. Really, if the director's cut cleans it up how Watchmen's did, it'd do wonders.

?

There's info hidden in the credits to enter into a website. It's not up yet.

Because not everybody places that much importance on the element of surprise within the plot when it comes to evaluating a film?

 

[Professor Beef]

Wait, so Supes dies in this? Does he come back?

 

[IconGrist]

Not in this movie.

 

[MutonCommander]

Keaton Batman is the best batman

don't care what anyone says

It's the truth. Keaton's Batman was man enough to kill criminals himself instead of pussyfooting around the issue with the "I won't kill you but I don't have to save you" crap. I'm excited to see the movie now.

 

[Evo X]

So has anyone talked about how Batman straight up MURDERED the shit out of dozens of people during the Kryptonite heist sequence in the Batmobile, and then later with the Batwing, guns, and grenade in the Martha rescue sequence?

Guess he stops giving a fuck about his no kill rule when he gets older. lol
