Well, they keep asking Michael Bay to direct Transformers films... They honestly care far more about money than critical reviews.
Early impressions start rolling out for Batman v. Superman

If it makes Transformers money i don't think they care. Would love to see someone else helm the DCCU but that's not happening i'm afraid.
Well considering the reaction so far from people who have seen it (aside from one posted negative review that does nothing but make Marvel comparisons), the reaction seems mixed at worst. Plus they're not even a full month from filming JL, and that's probably not going to change either.
If you have seen all of the trailers, we know more or less

WB gives their directors the most creative freedom by far. George Miller got carte blanche on Mad Max, and that shit made no damn sense. They are ready and willing to try the craziest shit possible, like giving Snyder the keys to the comic book kingdom.
They should be fine, they can be shit movies that get panned critically like Transformers as long as they bring in money.
How so?

Just lower your expectations. There's a lot of great stuff but honestly I felt like it should've either been two movies or they should've saved some stuff for the next one.
jesus that sounds like a fucking nightmare. couldn't enjoy a single second of asm2 since it was so transparent with its intention to kick start a cinematic universe. the entire movie was 'hey, look at this guy, he exists and will be important eventually if you pay to stick around. its super interesting and mysterious, we promise' multiplied over several characters without an actual story in the movie I was watching.

People get unreasonably over hyped which leads to disappointment, I'm sure it's a good film.

ASM2 and Iron Man 2 are IMO two of the worst comic movies ever made since they're not even movies; They're 2 hour long trailers for future films that you paid $10+ for the privilege of seeing.

Your crazy if you don't think most reviewers will make some form of Marvel comparison.

Presumably there's a ton of stuff in the film that the trailers don't even really hint at.
He's seen all the marketing, and has seen the movie, so he's in a pretty decent position to debunk or confirm the notion that the marketing's spoiled the film to some degree.

It's great. In IMAX. Living on the edge.
I'm not crazy hyped because I never seen a Snyder movie I enjoyed, but it's still Batman V. Superman how can I not be hyped. I feel this movie sets the whole tone for DC's movies.

He's seen the movie, so to tell would be spoilers

Honestly Marvel kicked off their universe with Iron Man, Hulk, or Iron Man 2. Flawed movies with some great elements and good casting. This is similar to those (but better than the latter two)

on a 10 scale what's your review ? You seem pretty happy with the film.
I am a little worried that mixing two different plots (the dawn of the JL and the conflict between Batman and Superman) is going to make for a more convoluted movie. Too much going on is always a bad thing. I don't know yet, but I just wonder if these they shouldn't have had the JL stuff in this particular movie. I guess I'll find out when I watch it myself.

Yeah its difficult for me to trust some of you, Anyone who hated MOS, loses a little bit of credibility with me because its one of the most important films of the last decade.

I mean, I knew it. The moment this film was announced I knew we'd have another ASM2/Iron Man situation.
But still...FFS.
Sorry but that honor goes to Avengers, like it or not. It completely changed the way movie studios do comic films. They all now chase that cinematic universe $$$.

It's ok. It's an important movie because it's absolute carnage and shit gets real, but..eh.
If it helps, it's not nearly as bad as the other two. I'm still mad about Iron Man 2.
oh for fuck sakes. hype eliminated. looking forward to civil war then...
To you sure. It was one of the most garbage superhero films I've ever seen, and has aged even worse.
It depends on how they introduce these characters. ASM 2 was done in an embarrassingly bad way.

Not to be a downer, but rumor is Civil War might do the same with regards to Spidey and others :-(
I love Man of Steel and I find this to comment to be absurd, lol.
I feel like I'm being punished.
Yeah, being the worst comic book movie in the last decade helps that I suppose.

Really? All I've heard regarding the new players is that they all get a big arc.

And it was STILL done better than Iron Man 2, where the entire film literally grinds to a halt as eye-patch guy shills the avengers in a fucking diner.

Don't forget Black Widow's Ultra Combo, the Booty Camera Attack

C'mon it's not as bad as the Green Lantern or the Fantastic Four remake. Or Iron Man 3 for that matter.
Worse than Green Lantern? No way
Worse than 2007's Ghost Rider with Nicholas Cage?
