Forgot to add a key stat. Reposting:

GREEN LANTERN

OVERALL: 26%, 4.2 average rating, 226 reviews, 167 rotten.
TOP CRITICS: 19%, 4.2 average rating, 43 reviews, 35 rotten.
AUDIENCE SCORE: 45%, 3.1 out of 5 average, 147k ratings.

BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

OVERALL: 31%, 5.1 average rating, 185 reviews, 127 rotten.
TOP CRITICS: 27%, 4.9 average rating, 45 reviews, 33 rotten
AUDIENCE SCORE: 78%, 4 out of 5 average, 127k ratings

That audience score for BvS is obviously way early (most viewers haven't even seen the fucking thing yet) but it certainly looks like audiences are enjoying this way more than they did Green Lantern.

And just since people keep quoting the thing:

BATMAN & ROBIN

OVERALL: 11%, 3.7 average rating, 85 reviews, 76 rotten.
TOP CRITICS: 11%, 5.1 average rating, 28 reviews, 25 rotten
AUDIENCE SCORE: 16%, 2.5 out of 5 average, 550k ratings.

At least it wont be as bad as daredevil movie indeed.
"The only movie I actually regret is 'Daredevil.' It just kills me," Affleck said. "I love that story, that character, and the fact that it got f---ed up the way it did stays with me. Maybe that's part of the motivation to do Batman."

Watching it right now before BvS later today.

MoS is not even remotely grimdark. Grimdark is when the primary means of FTL travel is taking a shortcut through hell, when the truth about the universe turns people insane and you have to sacrifice 50,000 people every day to keep the space highways open. It's when the only reason you haven't been wiped out yet is because the existential threats to your existence keep getting in each others way and billions of people funnel themselves into futile military struggles against them on a monthly basis. It's when the closest thing to "good guys" are oppressive totalitarians who only sterilize their conquered peoples instead of executing them on the spot.

Man of Steel not only does feature Superman trying to minimize damage, telling civilians to evacuate buildings he's fighting in and such and saving a dozen soldiers and airmen (who were shooting at him too) personally by catching them as they fall or disrupting the enemy's attention when they're about to close in for the kill, but it's a movie whose primary message is one of hope, that while the world is very flawed it could get better. That the cynical attitude Pa Kent and Lawrence Fishburn had towards humanity was in the end mistaken, and that people rose to the challenge and put their trust and faith in this alien when the chips were down.

Its an amazing movie. The costume is better then everything Marvel Studios putted out, just what they did to Bullseye is disgrace and so fucking horrible.

Batman v Superman was a really bad idea to begin with in my opinion. Before this movie, DC should have made a complete reboot of all the characters. It is like if Marvel wanted to start with the Avangers before making the Iron Man, Thor, Captain America movies. It just wouldn't work. Another thing that I really hate about DC is that they separate their TV Shows from their Movies. So the fact that they decided to use a complete different actor for Flash was a HUGE mistake. Anyway, I'm not at all surprised by the bad reviews because it was doomed to flop since the beggining.

They initially got Goyerin Script
Then Snyder as director
Then they were going to be inspired by Frank Miller's DKR
Then they called it Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice
Then they removed the S in VS to make the title more prestige
... Did anyone not see this coming?
