Why is every one that has a different opinion then you a hater?

Not every person. Just some of them.

There are plenty of negative BvS reviews written by people who I would never characterize as haters.

Anyway, more than that it'll just be nice if this becomes the ultimate critic/audience schism.
 
Batman vs Superman |OT| Snyder Lied, Cavill Tried, Affleck Cried and The DCU Died

I've been thinking that Marvel has done the best thing for Civil War possible: show Civil War trailer before BvS

Apparently everyone cheered at the trailer, especially with Spidey's reveal, this has definitely hyped audiences, even if they were disappointed with BvS, people will remember the Civil War trailer, making everyone want to see the movie, which could lead to Civil War actually having a better profit than BvS

At the beginning of the year, as much of a Marvel fan I am, I didn't expect Civil War actually getting a better box office than BvS because even if Civil War is almost an ensemble movie, BvS has Batman and Superman in its title, yet it's starting to look better for Marvel than DC, maybe even Doctor Strange gets a better box office, the possibilities are endless now
Marvel with those strategic moves.
 
I'll wear a Bebop avatar for a month if TMNT2 gets a higher Rotten Tomatoes percentage than BvS.
It's going to. The first one being received so terribly only bolsters its chances since the second one looks like a big improvement. Even if it's still bad that quality increase will sway some reviews. I could see TMNT 2 hitting the 40s.
 
Lol

What's worst, batman vs superman or ang lee's hulk?
I think Lee's Hulk was at least trying something and it was before Super Hero movies found their strive.
However, BvS is way better than Green Lantern and Iron Man 2.

C'mon, man. At least choose something that actually has a chance of rating lower than this. What about Adam Sandler's next movie?
I was going to say God's Not Dead 2.
 
Still doesn't make sense, but I think the best thing that came from my second viewing is that I realize now that it is Peter, not Mary Jane, who was the bad partner. I remember thinking as a teenager that she treated him quite poorly. But Peter has no regard for her feelings at all, talks over her and makes every conversation about himself, and is just generally shitty to her throughout most of the movie. It's not even a black suit thing. He's a bad boyfriend.
I'm going to try to rewatch it. I don't remember it being offensively awful (and it gave us the wonderful Franco meme of the forever) but Harry's entire stoyline and the way Venom and Sandman's arcs are resolved filled me with extreme bitterness at the time.

"Oh yeah btw, I killed your uncle" *blows gently away*

Maybe now with the amount of distance between it and SM2 I can watch it with lowered expectations.
 
What if Marvel has the theater managers in their pocket?



Marvel is the bad guy from Road House, he's got everyone in his pocket.

He owns this town..don't you ever forget that.

This is all some Cabin in the Woods shit. Feige and Disney are sitting in a lab while they carefully manipulate what we believed to be WB and DC.
 
Lol

What's worst, batman vs superman or ang lee's hulk?

Nolte off his rocker makes up for it. Don't think it's a bad film though, the dogs, ending, maybe the comic panel stuff if you're being picky. Still has some good stuff. I just don't think anyone gives a shit about the Hulk character in a standalone film. Incredible Hulk, now that was shit.
 
I can't believe so many people here are ragging on Age of Ultron and saying it's better than BvS. Yes, AoU doesn't live up to the original and is disappointing in some respects, but it is leagues better than BvS.
 
I SEEN'T IT!

No spoilers. Just impressions. The reviews I have skimmed featured words like 'joyless', 'mess', and 'slog' -- and I find all of those descriptors to be apt quite frankly. There are a couple of good, well shot sequences (awe inspiring at times) in this movie but the end product just left me feeling empty. The first half was simply a chore to get through, you could feel it in the audience -- the feeling of them getting impatient. There are some scenes that just flat out made me feel uneasy to the point where I had to wonder if Zack even viewed these characters as something that children might be into. There is a certain mischaracterization of one of these superheroes that I felt betrayed everything that drew me to him in the first place -- it's blatant and happens on multiple occasions. A staple of his creed, the most quintessential aspect of who he is, something I would wager most of the general audience knows about this character. Lastly the references made to the larger DC cinematic universe were so sloppily and haphazardly done, it simply took me out of the movie.

I didn't like Man of Steel, and I enjoyed this movie even less. In fact, this movie has cemented how much Zack Snyder is a mismatch for this franchise for me. I honestly have no desire to watch Justice League after this and this is coming from a DC fan whose gateway into superheroes/comic books as a kid was Batman and Superman in the early 90's. God, I hope Suicide Squad is good, or it's going to be 3 for 3.

Yeah, I agree with you regarding the points you made.

I don't know if I'd want to sit through this again. I might just wait until the cool scenes are put on YouTube after the home release.
