134k reviews and 74% now. I'm also not seeing any places on the internet where the majority clearly liked the film. Just the 30% that'd like any superhero movie as long as it's "dark" or has action in it, same reason as how 30% of reviewers somehow like it. Really doesn't seem like it's going to see a critic/fan split some people were hoping for.

Enjoy!
When do you go to see it? Curious over your opinion because of our conversation yesterday about Luthor^^

May I leave my impression here, having watched the movie, or should I post it somewhere else?

He's a good Director, the films are just going to need better writers.
This is basicly the OT, feel free to post it here.
He's not a good director. Snyder focuses on the action of a scene rather than the characters/actors and it definitely shows with the amount of emptiness.

Nope, he's not not. He can make great trailers though.
This movie as 3-4 four movies in one single movie that should have been stadalone: it's a sequel to MoS, an introduction movie to the new Batman, Supes and Batman meeting and clashing against each other and sort of a build up movie to the Justice League.

Was waiting until next weekend to go with the fam, but might convince myself to go alone this weekend. I'll keep you posted.
I would suggest going alone. Then BYOB at your nearest Dennys after the film to ponder what went wrong.

Not only because it's a movie with both Batman and Superman, but the vast majority of the public a) do not read reviews, and just go off of advertising and b) most of the genreal public is probably expecting it to be about as good as any of the Marvel films that this film is leeching some good will from.
But come on. It's Zack Snyder. He's the epitome of eye-candy, brainless entertainment. I don't actually know who's the worst between him and Michael Bay in that regard.
He has the potential to direct decent films (see: Dawn of the Dead and Watchmen), but everything else he's done has been hot garbage. Yes, that also includes the millennial favorite 300.

Let's just all put our differences aside and watch Xmen Origins: Wolverine again.

I'd rather just watch Deadpool again.
I rather just watch Superman again.

Also if you can make sense of some of the film's sequences, great fun!

Xmen Origins: Wolverine is at 38% rt.
It's the superior film.
It's the superior film.
I think it will be like Transformers and do fine at the box office, that franchise showed reviews really are not that important sadly

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Then grab a Slurpee at 7/11 and head on over to Sears.

And buy some Olay body wash or whatever as well. They were sure to give that a prominent shot when Lois was in the bathtub early in the film.

They should have fought near an outlet mall.
Also too bad it was Sunday, those buildings would have been filled tomorrow!

that second weekend is going to basically dictate how DCU goes from here.
So im crossing my fingers that there's like a 70% percent drop, hell ill settle for 65%, but i need WB to piss their pants on this a bit

Maybe I just stay home and laugh at all these hilarious suggestions look..
BvS won't drop 70% next weekend. The biggest new release is God's Not Dead 2.
We could all watch Superman IV instead!

74% is a clear majority. I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I'm seeing that sentiment a lot already.
"It wasn't terrible, certainly not a 30% movie"
That's not how RT works, but whatever.
This this just hit me hard.
But, then again, having Batman and Superman so totally botched in this film did remind me of how much Origins: Wolverine missed the point with Deadpool too. At least BvS has them LOOK like how they're supposed to, even if they don't act like they should...

He said he loved BvS and hated it equally.
I agree in case of Batman and Superman, but the quality of this film matters a lot for the lesser known tie-in films. I deem chances of films about Aquaman, Green Lantern etc. etc. being a success much less now.
Sure, stuff like the recent awful Transformers, Turtles, and Spidey films will always do well, and this one will do so as well. But when they make lesser-known spin-offs, the core attraction really needs to make people want to see more of the universe/series. And I have my doubts from what I am reading. Maybe Suicide Squad manages to fix this a bit.
He needs a top tier editor...someone that will fight him to the death to make sure his cinematography makes some goddamn sense.
This movie was all over the place.
Transitioning was none existent.
I felt like the Flash travailing through time and space between some scenes.
I hope there is some crazy fan out there that will take the bluray of this movie and do a proper edit.
I'm sure that's how alot of people are gonna feel after this weekend. The potential was there for a great movie.
That actually sounds like a lot of fun, with the editing they did it wouldn't be difficult to do either.

Geezuz..lol. That will never happen..
The pieces were there, even if the premise was a little weak. If the movie had proper pacing and proper editing it could have been a good movie.
The film had a massive (likely bot-driven) ballet stuff when user reviews were first allowed. BvS had over half the lifetime user ratings as Age of Ultron (which had enough viewers to hit $1.4B and the top 10 of all time) before it was even in general release outside of midnight showings in a few EU countries.

Superman IV is good in some of the same cheesy ways that Rocky IV is good.
So maybe we need to wait till Man of Steel IV to finally get the film we all want
Never trust usergenerated scores with franchises or brands that are loved by Fanboys.

It could have been leagues better if it were streamlined and not as jumbled.
Editing won't save Eisenberg's terrible Luthor, or even the murderous Batman, but it would at least make the movie better.

It dropped 20% after the movie came out.
This mind bending need to visualize a world where this movie is good/great is impressive.

Now that you mention the scene... I didn't notice that
the guy sends her loyal assitant into the capitol and blew her up like a prescindible asset
And that just hit my head hard as to what kind of character the guy is ._.
It has a better Lex for sure.
