eh, it's too soon to know that. Let's at least wait to see how big the drop is in the second weekend before we make these type of claims

I don't think fans of the characters are really driving the box office with a single viewing. Just don't see it 5 times or tell your friends they have to see it.
But, if you don't like it, you wouldn'ot be doing those things anyway.
Every movie is rated on its own merits and what it is trying to accomplish, not pitted against every other movie ever made in some sort of Movie Roman Arena. RT's % is an aggregate of a Yes/No recommendation, not even a score.
But sure, you can pretend everyone banded together to stick it to Zack Snyder if that makes you feel any better. It' won't ever make it true.
"People say its the yellow sun, but if you want to know where Superman really gets his power, its those fields."
Damn... that's good.

There's a lot of fake reviews on IMDB
https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/com..._accounts_are_rating_batman/?ref=search_posts
I suspect something similar on Rotten Tomatoes. (78% of audience currently liked it)

Well it fails at whatever it set out to due judging by the harsh reviews.

This is a huge bummer. I wasn't expecting anything in the 90's but this low? How? I just can't see how it's that bad. I'll be seeing it tomorrow and I don't always put much stock into reviews for movies like this but this is disappointing to see.
Such vitrol.
People really need to get a grip over themseleves. They are making it out to be like its the worst film of all time. Going overboadr here. Why didn't they write this for Thor 2 or shitty Transfomers? Why pick on this film alone?
Hehehe
damn, that gave me goosebumps.

Get this man's dad to direct Justice League!
The funny thing is that this is exactly what Warner Bros. is already doing.
Batman and especially Superman are slightly bigger cultural touchstones than Thor or a yellow car.

Week 2 should be interesting.
Fox should spin up a few Deadpool commercials immediately. Get a few digs in at Superman and urge people to see Deadpool again.
The new commercial should be Ryan Reynolds in costume fighting an armored up bottle of Ajax
Oh man. He gets it. *feels*

Okay i already feel bad for the actors, but now i'm starting to pity the fanboys too. Yes those who were saying this will never happen, the movie will be great.

Because the expectations for thor 2 and transformers wasnt the same as for Batman v Superman for reasons that if i have to get into them would be absurd.
And, at least in Thor 2's case, it's not a bad film. It's just a pretty by the numbers film that isn't poorly made and well paced. Just because it didn't excel at anything doesn't make it a failure.

That's pretty much my favorite scene from that movie.

I feel like you didn't even read the article. He's not reviewing the film. He hasn't seen it. He's just saying, "Hey, you're not obligated to go watch this thing if you feel like it's going to taint your perception of the character." It's super tame and a weird thing to get worked up about.
I mean, GQ said this movie will make you hate comic books. Now that's vitriol.
For the love, someone get Clint McElroy to write a Superman comic stat.

You know, I predicted a 78-80% score, so this is certainly a huge surprise..to say the least. The thing that isn't surprising is the "Why not Marvel?" line that I keep seeing pop up..y'all are a trip. Just enjoy the movie. Whatever the reviewers think won't take anything away from your enjoyment of it..
It was 5.2-5.3 yesterday

Damn, how come almost everyone gets it, but Snyder doesn't

If you want vitriol, watch the moviebob review.
Well, these are important icons to a lot of people. Poor or disliked interpretations of the characters sounds like the connecting factor. Batman commiting manslaughter, Superman being "wishy washy". Haven't seen it, don't know for sure, but a lot of reviews seem to mention that the film misses the essence of the two leads in some fashion.
Snyder's comments are not helping to dispel the notion that he really doesn't get these characters either.
Well, in fairness, 'getting' a concept is significantly easier than realizing a story based on it.
Though yeah, Snyder doesn't even get the concept, so he wouldn't even attempt to realize it.

Movie bob makes the best angry reviews. His Pixels review is cosmic.
This is very very telling. Poor guys.
Lmao I forgot all about that commercial
You aint doing shit with your life this weekend anyway. Go see Batman v Superman.

That's what I'm waiting to see. I should also be watching next weekend 😁
That'd be quite brilliant, and I'd imagine had already been discussed. It's the obvious play, for sure..
