They just don't understand cinematic visionary Zack Snyder.

 

[overcast]

if this film sours all the immense batman goodwill that nolan built up then snyder will have to apologize to me, apologize to the breakfast club and apologize to WB/DC

batman's my GOAT. it's bad enough spiderman was subjected to those marc webb films.

This is how I feel as well. Ben got a lot of leg work to do now smh

Yoooooouuuuu remain my power my pleasure my pain

Daredevil is destined to be Ben Affleck's greatest superhero film.

He probably wishes someone would WAKE HIM UP from this Knightmare

[Garlador]

No, they just wrote/are writing a treatment. Seth Grahame-Smith, of Dark Shadows and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter fame, is writing and directing the Flash.

... Well, time to drink until I forget I read that, only to inevitably read it again at some point and drink again.

Geez, DC...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I started the season with this opinion

now im like 3 eps away from the end and im a bit torn

I like it in stylized shots and such

the eyes are cool

dunno. It aint great but it doesnt bother me

I'm still loving the show. The suit and the fake ass blood sfx are really my only nitpicks. And Deborah Woll is the hottest woman in the MCU. Come at me.

Spoiler

According to BirthMoviesDeath's review, Lex is the one that gives the JL members their superhero names and gives them their symbols. Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, etc.

Take that as you will.

EDIT: FUCK, my bad.

gotta be a joke

 

[Dalek]

How many years from now before WB reboots this whole mess?

you say this like anyone would fight you over that opinion

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Is there a way to have Nolan rewrite and redirect the movie? Just leave the Snyder action scenes, they look good from the trailers. So just have Nolan do the talky bits.

That's not Elektra tho

You know someone will say ScarJo, but Woll not looking like she's been lobotomized in every scene is a plus in my book.

 

[Jarmel]

WB should have just done a Man of Steel 2 and slowly expanded their universe instead of just jumping head in.

If this underperforms, it has the possibility of killing their entire CU.

 

[Alandrus Sun]

I just read that review. Scathing!

I'm not reading that review but is it MovieBob? I'm positive the movie is a tranwreck at this point but that's the last "critic" I would take seriously especially with regards to a comic book movie. Dude, has an unfathomable hatred for TDKR and a massive boner for Marvel.

 

[Killer Queen]

At least this might be an entertaining trainwreck.

Sunk cost fallacy. They're in so deep right now, I doubt they can just pull out and reboot at this stage.

 

[Jarmel]

It depends on which version of ScarJo you're talking about. IM2 ScarJo was fine as hell.

That's probably for the best. The core issue isn't even how they rushed everything, it's that old "no jokes" policy and getting Zack Snyder to direct.

"No jokes" only works for Batman, it's not surprise that Batman is supposedly the best part.

 

[Salsa]

apparently it's very boring

most fun out of this movie is gonna be this thread

count on it

 

[thecouncil]

Guys... guys... stop sweating. Batman in this movie is AWESOME. I am not worried in the least about a solo movie with this character. In fact, I'm looking forward to it. This movie isnt great but Batman is definitely a standout. An Affleck solo movie is something to remain excited about.

A bad Man of Steel movie taints just Superman. This taints the Batman movie too.

Again, this all depends on BvS's legs. If it drops like a stone after Week 1, they'll probably halt production on the JL movie and fast-track a solo Batman movie for 2018.

I just read that review. Scathing!

http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2016/03/22/batman-v-superman-review-zack-snyders-doomsday

It's a well written review, highlighting specific issues with clear examples. Many of which could be levelled at MoS, but BvS seems to slide even further into Sucker Punch era Synder.

And yeah, it's utterly scathing.

 

[Alandrus Sun]

Reading this thread got everyone like:

 

[GlenChivas]

I think people were hoping for a good movie. Like, you can have a movie about two people facing off against each other that also contains good pacing and competent storytelling. Just hoping that Batman and Superman punch each other in a movie called Batman v. Superman is a really low bar.

Ah, well I guess this is just my issue then. Or maybe just misunderstanding. I don't approach these types of movies the same way I would something... serious isn't the word, but grounded maybe. To me they're just filler. Something to do for a few hours on a weekend. If they look cool, have some memorable parts, and I don't hate myself at the end that's all that matters to me. However, I still won't watch a Michael Bay Transformers movie.

Still hoping it'll be a fun time.

Can't we all just watch the movie and then decide whether we hate it or like it lol

Nope, that rewards studios for producing terrible things and sends a wrong message...

 

[Tansut]

I never though I'd be rooting against a Batman movie so hard for the sake of another.

- guy plays Daredevil badly in bad movie

- plays Batman alright in a bad movie

, but defies the only truly famous Batman rule, missing the character mark

- guy plays Daredevil amazingly in amazing series

- this guy plays Daredevil and respects the rule Batman is famous for, succeding in being more Batman than Batman

- the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started out as a Daredevil parody

what's the meaning of all this? TMNT2 best superhero movie this year

The Knightmare sequence, the scene featured in all the trailers where Batman is wearing a desert coat, has no bearing on the film, its events are never mentioned again and it goes nowhere.

This sounds terrible.

Even with a good reception, I'm not sure how well this was going to hold up anyway. Furious 7, which opened on Good Friday as well, had a 2.4 multiplier. Man of Steel had 2.5 despite summer weekdays, while Sucker Punch and Watchmen didn't even manage a 2.0.

Having legs like the latter two would be well and truly disastrous, and I highly doubt that happens. But even under the best circumstances, BvS would be lucky to make more than 2.5 times its OW in domestic total.

So fine I sometimes space out for like 30 seconds at a time during the show then wonder what was happening.

Shame they have her sharing most of her screen time with a dish towel lately.

 

[Thicc Enigma]

Critics just don't like Snyder it seems. I feel like this is another Man of Steel where the masses generally have something good to say vs the critics who are all so pessimistic.

The movie will still make bank regardless. I mean, it's Batman and Superman on the big screen for the first time ever. Can't wait for Friday to see it.

 

[Already Torn]

A bad Man of Steel movie taints just Superman. This taints the Batman movie too.

I mean I like Superman more than Batman, so in just hoping they realize the problem was Snyder and the direction, not Superman.

 

[Scarecrow]

Is there a way to hide threads? It's kind of a bummer to see a rotten score while I'm trying to go in knowing nothing.
