Every time I am reminded of how Sony wanted a Spiderman cinematic universe I just chuckle.
This movie obviously exists to jump start a DCU.

What the fuck happened here
Well no shit Sherlock. Want a badge with those detective skills?
I felt the exact same way coming out of Age of Ultron. A good portion of that movie just felt like setting up narrative strings for forthcoming MCU movies.

What's the worst aspect of the film in that regard? Knightmare? Sounds like it has some cool visuals but otherwise completely stops the film's narrative dead for the sake of Justice League setup.

Not to be a perv but ScarJo's ass in a black catsuit was the only redeeming part of the film for me.
I agree, but Ultron at the very least had to decency to save that bullshit for the end. ASM2 and IM2 were relentless in their future film shilling.
Being as broad as I can be, the storyline reason makes sense, and in total, takes up... maybe 2 mins of screentime if that.
I was being hyperbolic but it's not that far off, turning Superman into another grit factory was a massive mistake, and tonally it's a terrible movie.

Yeah you would never ever get swag/crust punk joker if he was a marvel character. It would just be clown prince of crime with every iteration
It's a double edged sword because rather than coming out with an overall average and safe standard their films also have the potential to freaking be awful too.
Suicide Squad looks like it will pay off tho. It looks incredibly refreshing in this mostly stale genre
I didn't know this was an issue.
This entire day across multiple threads I've still not figured out a way to work a Rocky reference into our conversations
Trolls.

I don't have an issue with a serious Superman if it was to the standard of the first two Nolan Batman's. It was average, I wouldn't describe it as terrible. I just remembered the last two Spidey films too. It's firmly middle of the pack stuff

It's a mild spoiler, so I'll avoid it. It is jarring, though.
Well, I mea-
..Dash said it not me!
Yeah, they're letting Leto go full fucknut crazy with it and I'm on board. WB seems totally content with letting their directors just barrel roll their vision into a film reel
Get it? Get it?

Had to check what thread I was in here because answering that is getting into spoiler territory, I'm sure.

You sound angry, buh. lmao
It's the official name of the sequence.
Of course this movie is a set up for the DC universe. I've always expected it to be. Would that stop me from enjoying it? Enjoy Batman and Superman together in a film for the first time? I highly doubt it.
It's been a while that most of CMB are designed as set-ups for bigger stories. Marvel did it whit Thor, Iron Man (2 and 3), Captain America...and they're still fun movies.

Well Iron Man 2 has the best looking ScarJo Black Widow in general.

Like a 7 or 8.
There's a lot shown, and a lot missing. And they clearly had a hard time marketing it, so they were rather deceptive with a few things.

I kind of figured the trailers and movie would kind of go down the way Halo 5 did, with a big clash teased, but most of the game/movie is spent with the protagonists getting along swimmingly. I'm guessnig that what is meant in the OP with the trailers being deceptive.
I hope there's even more deception to them though, as it kinda feels like I saw the whole movie already.

That misleading huh?
...so the Batman/Superman fight actually is a court battle after all!
It's hard to say considering the story that many people built in their heads "lol trailers showed everything" are more likely to claim they were deceived. I'd say like maybe a 6 though. Enough to go either way.
So what your saying batman and Superman don't fight to the death... Well shit

That would be 10x more interesting than a panel by panel recreation of TDKR fight.
Like, it'd tickle me to see a courtroom battle.

I probably shouldn't have said anything RE: trailers.
YOUVE FINALLY GON AND GOOFED
Nah. I think most of us here figured early on that the trailers didn't give the whole picture.
Thankfully.
EDIT: Yeah, OK THERE CBM. We'll see about that.
HOLY SHIT! YES!

Don't get your hopes up, I had 60% but doubting that now. I'll probably love the movie, but it seems there is enough critics can have issues with.

YOU DID IT TOO!
Normally I'd go to the usual pitfall of Snyder trailers being better than Snyder movies, but I don't think that's right here. I also don't think there's a lot of bait and switch going on.
Yep, that's right.
That's great to hear, considering I didn't think the trailers for this movie were all that great. Guess Thursday needs to hurry up and get here already.

This is a terribly written review, and I don't think CBM ends up on the Tomatometer.
But cool.
Lmao. This is some fanboy drivel, but I hope the movie is half as good as this.
I went to the school of Verendus, boy. I know how to watch my back.
