This is going to be a movie for the fans, not the critics

I think this kind of sentiment is more insulting to fans than anyone else.

 

[neorej]

Just tell the production designer to put a lot of large rocks on the ground.

I feel like the costume designer has a much more difficult task.

Nah, get the designers for Deadpool on it. Dude had pouches up the wazoo!

Max Landis.



Q: Why is a woman not writing Wonder Woman?

A: Because no one person is writing that film.

I honestly feel bad for him.

I legit feel bad for Affleck. He broke his one rule (of never becoming a superhero again) and this is what he gets. Being the best thing in a critical disaster.

Warner, please for the sake of Ben Affleck remove Snyder from Justice League. He looks so sad and was already going through enough crap before this movie critically bombed

Still redeemable with a solo Batman flick.

Or if he directs the JL flick

I'm enjoying this thread a lot, but even I don't have the heart to watch that interview.



Audience score before release: 110k reviews, 95%

Audience score after release: 124k reviews, 78%

This is just for all the "I just pay attention to user scores anyway" people.

Definitely true and I wanted to bring more attention to this side discussion. User review scores are largely bullshit all of the time for any movie.

But it was most assuredly bullshit for this movie. For instance, there were 104,518 user reviews back on MARCH 11. It was rated at 99%. (Wayback machine link)

How much you want to bet that even 1% of those reviews were legit? How many people do you honestly think saw this movie 2 weeks ago when it didn't exist in any market? And for 100+K reviews to have an aggregate score of 99%, which would put it somewhere in Citizen Kane/Godfather level of Hollywood cinema?

Yeah, sounds legit.

Oh god, this gif needs to be banned. I can't take it. I just can't.

I hope this doesn't cause them to reshuffle or do anything drastic with Batman. I'm very much sold on what a Batfleck centered film can be.

Hello Darkness

I feel so bad for this guy, looks absolutely gutted.

On the kinda bright side, Affleck is getting his own standalone Batman movie, devoid of Snyder's direct involvement, right?

Maybe he will be DCs Iron Man and will show up in everything.

The same "critics" that have Sharknado sitting at a 82%. We're supposed to take these scores serious.

Most be a bunch of hate for Snyder or maybe those critics expected a different movie. Or maybe cause Batman is a lot darker in this. Who knows. Just seems like senseless trolling at this point. User scores will be no different but I expected trolling from them.

Sharknado is a movie that tries to be bad and is absurdly entertaining by that.
BvS is just boring for long long parts of its time.

Sharknado set out to be a dumb bad movie and succeeded at that goal. This set out to be a serious in tone superhero epic and apparently fails.

Polygon - You Don't Have to See Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

Great read.

My earliest superhero memory that I can summon up with any clarity was watching the Richard Donner Superman with my dad, and there’s this amazing shot after Pa Kent dies. It’s Clark standing in a wheat field with Ma Kent talking about how it's time for him to go, to be Superman. My dad, in a not-infrequent moment of poignancy says "People say it’s the yellow sun, but if you want to know where Superman really gets his power, it’s those fields."

That's oddly beautiful.
