Gonna see this at midnight. I have so many questions... But the main one is is this really as crap as people say... I'm dying to answer this for myself, so I can move on with my life.
For the record, I had such low expectations of the original FF and GL that I ended up sort of liking them!

I agree exactly. I had the same mindset when Deadpool came out too, but I was thoroughly impressed. I will also see a movie I'm excited about, regardless of reviews. Now mind you, the more expensive the purchase for me, the more weight will go into a review lol
I think Ars won the title wars - BvS: The Showgirls of superhero films
Movies are the real money maker right? They don't want to alienate any movie going audience by shoehorning TV show references into the movies. It just won't happen.

No you can easily freaking do that. Hopefully suicide squad helps prove that. The problems being stated in the reviews are about the tone and the mess of stuffing so much crap into it.
Marvels way of the long game really worked out for them but that doesn't mean the other way is hard to do. Millions of ensemble films existed before. Its lame how myopic comic book movie fans are about this
I wish that George Miller justice League movie came out years ago. Would have been an interesting experiment and the action no doubt would have been top tier
Well I wouldn't expect the films to reference the Netflix stuff, it's pretty much just street level stuff that the heroes wouldn't even be aware of. Maybe in the Spider-Man movie we'll get something.

It's like critics are racing each other to say the harshest possible thing about the film. It seems like this is more entertaining than the film itself.

Hahaha oh boy.
"Every steaming piece of shit you throw at me only makes me stronger."
AoS hasn't done much of that for awhile, it has thankfully found its own identity and has really focused on its characters (took its time tho). As long as it remains a clandestine agency and relatively small (until they are ready for it to pop up into a film) I don't see a problem.
Hope to see them mingle with Netflix stuff sooner though.

This is starting to feel like when a 6 year old sees someone do something funny and then tries to do it louder.

Coulson is not worthy to interact with anybody from daredevil. I like how they're keeping the Netflix stuff fairly separate from the rest of the universe. Daredevil especially is such a different tone from everything else. Like give him an action scene in an avengers movie sure. But THAT kingpin opposite a spiderman who's a little kid? No thanks.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
I am too. I mean I expected the film to have issues based on the trailers, but not THIS badly. I'm surprised at just how low it's scoring, and I never expected it to be THIS bad.
If I could get the scene where Kingpin has Spidey tied up and unmasked that would be fantastic.
Kingpin doesn't care for who he is, 'cause he owns him. He had the copyrights to Spider-Man.

Yeah, I really don't understand the opinion that they are ignoring each other for reasons. It's classic GAF talking about shit they don't understand even on a basic level.
There are very good reasons, both creatively and more importantly logistically that the different sides aren't going as far as direct crossovers. It just feels like pure ignorance regardong how much work it takes to do something like create a 200 million dollar Hollywood film.
Script writing process, casting, setting up film locations, etc. take time and the Netflix stuff is still incredibly young. We have only seen three seasons total split between two characters so far. They haven't even met EACH OTHER yet.
If you expected Luke Cage and Iron Fist to show up in AoU or some bullshit you are probably just an idiot. Let's be real here. I totally expect them to leverage these characters in the movie in some form going forward.

Zero interest in watching this garbage but all the reviews and articles coming out about it are hilarious. That Ars Technica one has the winning title.

In the OT looks like it's not as bad as the critics are saying. I'll reserve judgment
I think the weird thing about it is... the TV MCU is using characters like Punisher and Daredevil. Kinda fucking iconic characters that are, honestly, more well known and have a richer history than a lot of the MCU superheroes we see on the big screen.
Not exactly Z-tier Marvel characters, here. Not seeing them interact with the rest of the MCU on the big screen in Avengers 3 would be really disappointing.

Everywhere you look, TERRIBLE reviews.
Fuck that, movies are expensive and I'm not rewarding fundamentally messy work. I'm skipping this. Will watch on tv/streaming later.

They said that ages ago though. It's not a new position.
Not until 2019. As for AoS, none of it has accounted for the royal family like the movie will.
But I'm sure they're going to do everything they can to make the story almost completely self contained and require zero watching of SHIELD to see the movie and fully enjoy it. Will you get more out of it by having watched SHIELD? Sure. Will the movie have references that only give a nod to TV show watchers? Probably not.
There is an Inhumans movie coming, but it likely won't have anything to do with or reference Agents of Shield.

Peter Rosenthal gave a review, thank god. He likes the movie even though it brings up some uncomfortable memories from his past.
I think it may... Just not directly. Like it may reference the event of when Inhumans really began popping up on Earth.
I think the further the movies stay away from AoS the better.
It won't have anything to do with AoS, other than the obvious sharing of the concept of Inhumans. No movie will ever inform any aspect of its plot on that TV show.

The Onion is really going in on this. Pretty much exactly how I feel about it at this point.

Maybe they should have made this an animated movie, as DC's animated movies are normally pretty decent.

Yeah, why would Affleck sign on to this given his rise to being a good writer/director? Then again, he was in that shitty movie with Justin Timberlake.

Not doubting you, but name some. I'm interested to know. Really.

Yo one of the quotes in this review, I'm not even going to say which, made me just go "yep, that's Zack Snyder". Dude is like the cartoon definition of a hack. No sense of subtlety whatsoever, every idea or theme is just a sledgehammer to this guy. It's really frustrating because he has a great sense of style sometimes, maybe he should consider just becoming a cinematographer.

I'm pretty sure watching this threads title change continuously will be more entertaining than the film at this rate.
