Batman v. Superman RT Thread: like standing ovations in rain

I look at these scores and its genuinely difficult for me to believe the movie is this bad.

I mean how? How is it possible to fuck up Batman and Superman so badly?

It may be a case of grading the really smart kid on a different curve than the rest of the class. Batman and Superman probably get more intense scrutiny than something like Guardians because of their cultural status.

Or it could just be really bad.

I never trust any of these scores.

Random film: Bridesmaids - 90% RT score and it was a bore of a film that hardly got a chuckle out of me.

I mean the chief complaint in most of these reviews is that it's boring.

You can't make a boring blockbuster and expect butts in seats.
 
Going to predict it now: one of the greatest second weekend domestic dropoffs incoming. Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman will see the light of day, but after that Warner kills their plans and they go back to Batman-only films for the next decade.
 
This movie deserves it for its shitty treatment of Superman. Batwank will never stop being absolutely insufferable, and this movie clearly wanted Batwankers.

I just want a good Superman movie man. He's an amazing and classic character, and to see him constantly wasted and shat on by people who don't understand him is infuriating.
 
Decided to check what hilarious title changes took place up until now, laughed my ass off:

Batman v. Superman Review Thread
Batman v. Superman Review Thread (RT 39% and climbing!)
Batman v. Superman Review Thread (RT 42% and climbing!) <-- I made this change!
Batman v. Superman Review Thread (RT 40% and fluctuating)
Batman v. Superman Review Thread (RT 39% and fluctuating)
Batman v. Superman Review Thread (RT 38% and getting farther behind Batman Forever)
Batman v. Superman Review Thread (RT 37% but it's still higher than Batman and Robin)
Batman v. Superman Review Thread (RT 35% almost as good as Prince Of Persia)
Batman v. Superman Review Thread (RT 35% almost as good as Rise of the Silver Surfer)
Batman v. Superman Review Thread (RT 35% dead heat with The Room, oh hi Tommy)
Batman v. Superman Review Thread (RT 35%, officially better than Gangster Squad!!!)
Batman v. Superman Review Thread (RT 37%, it's Mars Needs Moms good )
Thank you. We need to keep all of these.

I mean reading through the spoilers that got wiped off here I can totally see why absolutely any sane person would be fed up with some of the shit going on in this movie.

What the actual fuck happened to this movie?
 
Going to predict it now: one of the greatest second weekend domestic dropoffs incoming. Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman will see the light of day, but after that Warner kills their plans and they go back to Batman-only films for the next decade.

Suicide Squad will get a sequel
Wonder Woman will bomb (WB will greenlight a Jane Porter prequel to accompany Tarzan)

Guardians could have gotten a bigger curve up than kids at Harvard and there's still no way this movies even a third as good.

Judging by whats been said without going into any detail I dont think you need to worry about Superman being the only one not understood in this film.

They really hitched their cart to the wrong horse with Snyder. Damn shame, DC universe felt like it had so much potential.
 
Only weird comic fanboys hate TDKR, it's got a favorable score from critics and most general audiences enjoyed the movie. That's not to say that the movie is perfect or that others can't dislike it, but there is a certain extreme level of hate that existed for the film after its release that was only quelled by MoS. After MoS fanboys finally saw what a truly bad DC film looked like with one of their major characters. I think TDKR will only ever continue to be looked up to with each subsequent release by WB.

Exactly. The Dark Knight Rises is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with an 87%, has a metascore of 78 (The Dark Knight is at 82), a Cinemascore of A, and was on several critics' top movies of the year lists, including the American Film Institute's list. So the hate for that film is utterly baffling. Did it live up to The Dark Knight? No. But it's a good film in its own right, especially compared to Man of Steel, which is an actual bad film.

Go watch Superman IV.
 
I look forward to my newfound appreciation for The Dark Knight Rises after I see Batman v Superman on Thursday.

Bane vs Batman fight had a really good atmosphere. Anne Hathaway with a surprisingly good turn as Catwoman. Awesome cameo by Scarecrow.
