Going back to those Justice League Unlimited roots.
Btw, Batman's superpower isn't white privilege,
its his penis.
I think if you plotted all the issues with BvS, most of them would point to Lex. I think Eisenberg did fine portraying the character as written and cast, but his character felt like a plot device. Lex manipulates the fight, he creates Doomsday, he hired the mercenaries, he gets Keefe to blow up the hearing, he has files on other metahumans, and so on.
Seemed like Lex was written to connect all of these different story ideas together, which is why his character was all over the place scene to scene. One could argue he's a master manipulator, but he just didn't seem intelligent or clever enough to have so much control over all these characters and events. More unhinged than inventive.

There is only one scene where Eisenberg worked for me.
When he was taunting Superman and showing the polaroids of his mom and telling him to kill Batman worked for me. He was actually menacing and owning the scene.

thought I was the only one who caught that haha
But it was hard to tell what was a dream and what wasn't am I right? No dream like effects, just straight cuts which made it seem confusingly disjointed.

Ok good, it wasn't just me.
I read the odd Batman and Superman comic but that's about it (I do have some Green Lantern stuff too). But certainly not to the extent I'd have had any idea what was happening there. I mean, I've seen The Flash in those CW commercials and stuff but this didn't look anything like that, all I could make out was some dude in a mask with weird armor.
I would have written it off but he said "Lois Lane is the key" and from that point on I spent the rest of the movie trying to figure out what he meant by that. I'm still not sure I do, really.

I'm tired of her getting passed around the Justice League like a hot potato. They should make all her love interests limited to her books.

Lex Jr. (emphasis on the Jr.) did his thing, but the music and pacing just made it so hard for the movie to flow overall. I feel like he was a bit unhinged at the start, very unhinged once he learned about the knowledge and dangers or the universe, and from here, he's going to develop into a more methodical villain. Like doomsday, he is going to evolve after everytime he breaks.
What did he mean by this?

The more I think about it, the more I feel lied to by Zack Snyder. The 3 back-to-back references to the end fight locations being abandoned proves he did not learn a single thing from Man of Steel. That's not the point at all. We wanted to see heroes showing concern about where they are fighting, having emotional responses if their action impact civilians, and going out of there way to rescue those civilians at any cost. Not conveniently abandoned neighborhoods.
Was it an actual reference or just Alfred saying the word "Phantasm"?
Yes, only because I already knew that was supposed to be The Flash did it make any semblance of sense to me, but my boyfriend and others in the theater were nonplused. He thought it was Robin stuck in another dimension or something.
He learned that from Sucker Punch.
Yeah, those stupid dreams and even dreams within dreams... It was like he's still so convinced Sucker Punch was a brilliant film nobody understood, so he'll try the same shtick again with Batman and Superman.
Well the whole sentence basically referenced the movie.
Supes tried to take the fight into space, but he just got nuked and it brought the fight back to the ground (not his fault, thanks Obama). Deserted areas on Stryker island and Gotham were the next best bet.
I thought the horse in the destruction of metropolis was a dream thing but wasn't sure. Can't even remember how it was shown now.

yeah we had no idea, thought it was just origin stuff again, then dream , confusing
zack pls
That is the biggest stretch I've heard yet. Wow. Thanks Snyder.
oh i know who he is, i'm just echoing the sentiment of people in the theatre
it was a cool scene that was well done, but i'm not sold on his inclusion
this was definitely it - they just hung on him & his flowing hair for a beat too long
"he? it could be a she..."
liked that little nod

yeah robin is dead in this which goes in line what people are saying that this is more in like with the darker storylines
I think it was an old Batsuit
Nah, "R" on the upper left side of the chest.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
The clash of the ideology between Batman and Superman should have been the key focus of the movie. They totally abandoned it right when Lex Luthor lured him out to fight with Batman
Whole movie should have streamlined and focus on the differences between the two people.

I just remembered the mason jar of pee
I know. The entire damn reason for this movie's existence doesn't even materialize in the story until almost at the end, and when it happens, it's not even a clash of ideology, as you say. It's just a misunderstanding!
UGH.

SHOOK at that piss jar
This review really expressed a lot of the feelings I had coming out of this movie

What's Superman's ideology? Snyder never really pinned that down. Hell, even Superman didn't know what he was doing.
And the whole Knightmare scene really wasn't needed to let people know that Batman thought poorly of Superman.
Thank you for this. I will probably never watch this now. I knew this movie would be crap, but an awesome live action version of the of their famous duel would have easily warranted a viewing.
Nope. There was a dead sidekick in that suit at one point in time. It was a pretty affair as well. Uncle J don't play.
At least we never have to see another TDKR or Death of Superman adaptation from Zack Snyder again. No more forced Batman vs Superman conflict, no more Superman dying to a CGI orc. I am almost glad they fused those two stories together.
He can't pull from any grim dark, super 90s source material anymore... can he?
Then again there's probably a ton of JL stories he can mess up.

More I think about this movie, I feel more and more angry.
I really hope this does not make the necessary $800 million.
Take it back to the drawing board.

I'd bet they'll tease a Superman death in almost every movie he's in.
You're mad that the superior tactician won? Batman came to fight. Batman came to win. He was right about Superman. Clark wasn't as brave as he was perceived to be, he was just invulnerable. Because of that, he charges into most situations head on without a plan relying on the fact can't be injured. Batman wised his shit up real quick.

Supes lost because he had no idea what to do when he couldn't just tank hits

I think Wonder Woman benefits a lot from having such few scenes.
Just saw the movie. I'll give my full opinions it on it later but I just wanted to talk about how amazing Wonder Woman was.
I've never seen read any of her comics or anything so I don't know much about her, but goddamn, the way she was dancing around Doomsday was beautiful. The moment when she got out her lasso and held that sucker down for Superman to stab was
worthy.
I can't fucking wait for her movie.

The movie had its bright spots. I think the editing was crap. It made me think a Robin is the Joker. Played a few nods to injustice during the visions about lois being the key. Wonder woman was awesome. Batman was the best on screen batman. I just think the movie had plot craters and was badly edited.
Yea but that's why I bought him getting his ass beat. Why would you train to fight when you have no idea you can be weakened and the last of your race (the only known beings who can stand up to you) is dead?

I thought it made perfect sense. Bats prepped, Bats won. Supes fucked up and got a double dose of an ass whooping
Lol. Then in comes Batman with the upset of the century.
Supes will be back though, and he'll be better off for it.
I don't think I've read a single bad thing about Wonder Woman. Queen :bowJust saw the movie. I'll give my full opinions it on it later but I just wanted to talk about how amazing Wonder Woman was.

References the best Batman film ever, yet takes nothing meaningful from it.
Synder folks.
I hope they go the comics route and have Batman train him in melee and have Wonder Woman teach him how to use his powers more effectively in combat.
LOL is this how you run your business? You should probably hire an accountant.
