I was puzzled when they gave it to Zach Snyder after the Meh Of Steel he made but I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Then the trailers happened and I noticed I was more enthusiastic about Deadpool than the dream movie I've been waiting for since I was a child. Turns out I wasn't wrong about being more extatic about DP.

[brianjones]

Goddamn I did not see this coming.

sweet summer child

 

[PBY]

Just saw this on Twitter.

Yoooooo daaaaaaaaaaaamn.

Critics taking a flamethrower to this

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Two things really worry me here

Spoiler

1. Superman also being a brooding character (the biggest sin of all), and 2. Batman using guns and killing people? Damn.

For one of your spoilers: if it really is the dark Knight returns bats then that's pretty much in line with how he did things

 

[Sandfox]

The Dark Knight trilogy does exist, though, and was reviewed by the same critics.

We aren't supposed to acknowledge that.

 

[Ryaaan14]

lmao so this thing is a stinker? That sux

Edit: Oh shit son it has a murderous Batman? Will watch

 

[Blader]

Well, uh...at least Suicide Squad looks good?

 

[jackdoe]

It sounds like there's going to be a lot of mixed reception, based on the collated Metacritic scores, and that its RT score will depend on whether those mixed reaction critics liked the movie more than they hated it.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I am a poopy head and don't know what a spoiler is

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I feel like it won't be the worst Superhero film of the year, quality wise at least.

Compared to what?

There's this, Deadpool (already liked), X-Men: Apocalypse, civil war, suicide squad, and dr strange.

That's IT.

 

[ezekial45]

I know I haven't seen the film yet, but fuck using a line like that. Sometimes critics are more hyperbolic than the worst of forum posters and that seems like a sentence generated for pure shock value rather than saying anything meaningful or constructive.

The hyperbole is intended to grab eyeballs and to get their piece to go viral. I'm seeing a lot of it, and it's pretty disgusting.

Yeah, that

Spoiler

Superman sounds even more boring

than he was in MoS is really worrying.

 

[LionPride]

Gambit got pushed to next year.

I was talking about another X-Men film actually

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I guess my 80% RT was wildly optimistic.

lololol

Any my 70 lol.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

As a comic book fan this is a little disappointing to hear, hopefully I will still enjoy it though, just like I enjoyed MoS (like it, but didn't love it)

Let's hope Civil War doesn't disappoint (pretty sure that will be great with Marvel's track record)

 

[The Elite]

On Batman:



FUCK

ZACK WHY WHAT THE FUCK

Well, fuck.

 

[johnsmith]

Never watched Man of Steel, and not going to bother now. Hopefully Suicide Squad is good.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I was sort of guessing 55% for the film before today coming off of MoS personally.

I cant even read this past the first paragraph.

It says a lot of very depressing things about our world right now that this astonishingly dumb film has real-life parallels. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is the story of a self-important billionaire with a casual attitude to the truth, who becomes paranoid about a segment of the immigrant population. He decides to take brutal and - as it happens - entirely unjustified and even self-endangering action against that immigrant, to the benefit of a rich psychopath who wants to distract everyone from their own nefarious grasp at powe

Seriously? give me a fuckin break.

Jesus, yeah, I can't roll my eyes hard enough.

 

[Baroquemantic]

I know I'm still gonna enjoy the hell out of it. That said, I wasn't expecting reviews to be negative.

 

[roflwaffles]

You guys shouldn't be surprised. Snyder sucks.

 

[jeenaudx]

Why do people take critics seriously again?

 

[Kusagari]

I don't want to comment but yeah superhero movies don't have to follow marvels method let DC have their serious movies.

The most well received comic movie ever is completely serious.

The problem isn't being serious, it's that Snyder sucks at trying to tackle it.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Jesus. I mean, I figured it might be divisive, but I wasn't expecting it that low. That's something.

 

[rrc1594]

On Batman:



FUCK

ZACK WHY WHAT THE FUCK

Oh fuck you Zack

 

[TheSlySoul]

On Batman:
FUCK

ZACK WHY WHAT THE FUCK

Apparently

Spoiler

He takes out a whole warehouse of goons. Batman is a killer now.

 

[Magilla]

How do they let this happen? You make this film right and you set up your studio for years. Was nobody overseeing this project?

 

[Sanjuro]

So it's basically on par with a Marvel movie?

 

[LSauchelli]

Yeah, but he's a terrible screenwriter :/

I haven't really read his scripts, but I have read some of the stuff he writes, and heard him talk about story and the man knows what he's talking about.

I think that a good story with a so-so script can be saved, a shit story with a great script is still a shit story.

 

[Real Hero]

Why do people take critics seriously again?

Why wouldn't they?

 

[XBP]

If its anything like MOS then i'd be watching it multiple times. Apart from a few things here and there MOS was a brilliant movie.

 

[Chamber]

Well I always said this movie could be awful and still make a billion. Guess we get to test my theory!

 

[STILLethal]

 

[Alandrus Sun]

Why do people take critics seriously again?

Yeah, why do we take anyone's opinion seriously? Everyone knows a film is only good if you believe it is.

 

[LyleLanley]

Why do people take critics seriously again?

Why shouldn't they? If so many critics are bashing this movie there's probably something to it.

 

[VenomBoss]

Nvm

 

[The Elite]

I would rather have the DC TV universe peeps on this.

At least they know how to have fun with comic book characters.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

I just want to see Angry Joes review

 

[shoreu]

On Batman:



FUCK

ZACK WHY WHAT THE FUCK

This better not be true.... I hope he's just misinterpreting him messing folks up or the dream sequence.

 

[BronsonLee]

I KNEW people would hate that Batman thing
Knew it knew it KNEW IT

 

[Dalek]

Why do people take critics seriously again?

That's what you got from this thread?

 

[Ganzlinger]

RT score sways your decision to see a film like this?

No, I was just hyped today and now after this I am pessimist. I would watch anyway since this is the beginning of Justice League.

 

[JTripper]

The hyperbole is intended to grab eyeballs and to get their piece to go viral. I'm seeing a lot of it, and it's pretty disgusting.

It's absurd and frankly embarrasses me to be someone who generally respects professional criticism as a profession.

 

[Nafai1123]

This is very disappointing. I'll probably still go see it though.

 

[slightconfuse]

On Batman:



FUCK

ZACK WHY WHAT THE FUCK

Thanks but no thanks

Sunder is a hack

Like how do you get batman wrong???

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I never expected much, but even still I thought low 60's would have been an easy lock. Goddamn. Usually dumb fun, big budget action is enough to get somewhere in that range. Even Jurassic World pulled a 72% out of its ass somehow.

 

[BlueTsunami]
