Seen some cheering and whistling at some movies. Never a standing ovation. I reckon thats strange to see at a theatre.
5minute Standing-O to a projection screen? Who were they clapping for? Themselves? I totally understand a Standing-O after a great live performance, but not to a screen unless the creators of the film were present, then maybe.

Any kind of 'standing ovation' sounds like plants by WB to me (yes, I'm paranoid enough to consider that option). That, or the 'this is so terrible it deserves a slow clap' slow clap.

My understanding was that both Superman and Batman were in a kind of undefineable time period full of anachronistic fashions, like very old timey cars and such, but then mixed in with modern technology like computers. It's a cool aesthetic for sure. Although I don't think I've seen any superman TAS since I was a wee babby boy so I could be misremembering that.

I've had this happen if the flight had some particularly rough turbulence. But happening for a normal flight? Hell fucking no.
On an off topic note, I decided to Watchmen tonight for the first time since theaters....... I just go to that sex scene.

No you were right, Timm initially wanted to emulate the Fleisher style. I dream for that kind of aesthetic.

Was the standing ovations people saw for BvS because the movie was finally over?

Nah, that's what you're doing. I'm just saying that whatever you're choosing to call it was very, very unlikely to actually be a fuckin' standing ovation.
Applause isn't surprising on opening day. Cheering isn't a shock. It's not an anomaly when excited genre fans get excited while watching their genre picture and make excited noises in response That's expected.
But none of that = "standing ovation."
I've been in the sun since day one!

Okay, cool. People clapped, a lot, for a movie they liked, on opening day.
Now what? Was there an additional point to the semantics of how long people clapped for or..?

Just that you were misusing the term probably. You've admitted you were. We're good!

You have to understand, its a cultural thing. You don't clap for the movie or the plane landing, obviously. The actors and captain aren't there to hear your applause. You clap because no one came in and shot the theater up or detonated a bomb on the plane.
It was also a special event before the actual screening, so I guess people were way more amped than the usual.
This is kinda funny because TFA's release was pretty much a month long event and not even opening day reactions of that one beat the one I'm describing.

From Google: "a period of prolonged applause during which those in the crowd or audience rise to their feet."
Prolonged is the key here.
But I wonder what taste the film left in their mouths.

It has been a very interesting thread indeed. Heck, look at all the threads about this film. If nothing else, BvS has got us talking.

Just got back from watching it, it was just very confusing to me I guess, the writing felt crammed and out of place. Easily the worst film I've seen in a theatre.

Armond knows...
My theater had a standing ovulation.
Not gonna lie, this review thread has made me even more hyped to see this movie tomorrow night now lol
Ever since that first trailer that showed wonder woman and doomsday, I already thought this movie was gonna be mediocre at best. But now you guys have prepared me for this thing and I have to see it with my own eyes. For the record, we already had tickets from last week bought so we're going regardless lol
And not because I'm a marvel fan boy or anything (which I am lol) but I have full faith in civil war still

Prolonged exposure to the Cavill Tumescence will do that.

On the previous pages, people are confused at what a standing ovation is. Haha
Our boy Betty reelin in those views
1/8 the audience standing up to stretch their legs while clapping for a few seconds isn't quite a standing ovation.

Pretty much anytime someone posts an impression of audience reactions I take it with a grain of salt. They're generally exaggerated or outright made up and it's so clear that people are biased by what they were experiencing.
Were they doing so at gunpoint?
My showing had a few disjointed clapsat the end, but the crowd overall felt listless.
The most enthusiasm they displayed was when the movie showed
Lex's metahuman files.

Is this the first time a Gaffer has been mentioned in Variety? They even give a link to Sabcouth's Youtube page.

After hearing all the bad press that this film has received, I walked into the theatre with my buddies with a strong sense of dread. We were making fun of the film, before even seeing the finished product.
Once the movie began, however, we were all entranced by the what we were witnessing...
Batman v Superman is a good movie.
The narrative is not that disjointed as I was led to believe. The 'Man of Steel' shaky cam and subdued filter is gone. The colours pop when they should. The acting is good. Lex Luthor does Lex Luthor things. He manipulates, schemes, plans and plots, just like Lex Luthor should. His character provides us with a true villain threat. Wonder Woman, in movie that is already loaded with characters and story-lines, is woven into the story with grace as well, and is a welcome addition to the DC cinematic universe. They don't beat you over the head with another origin story for her, which I appreciated. There is a lot of material that is covered in this film, and it all works. Even
Also the sequence
Perhaps I'll find flaws in this film on a second viewing, but after my initial experience with the film, I have to say: It's a solid piece of entertainment. It doesn't have the levity and 'lightness' of the Marvel movies, but that's okay. There is some small moments of smile-inducing humour. (Some of the audience actually laughed out loud at some of the jokes. I didn't feel the humour warranted a laugh-out-loud-moment, but it did make me smile at parts.) The action is intense at times, although, it does take it's time to get to those moments By the time the end credits began to roll, my adrenaline was pumping, and I was craving more stories being told in this DC cinematic universe.
This is a different kind of superhero movie that now exists in world that is over saturated with superhero movies and it stands apart in a brave and bold direction. I hope this film does well, and that Warners decides to continue in this direction.
I'm desperately trying to figure out the flak and hate this movie is getting, and maybe there's something wrong with me, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie and appreciate what Zack Snyder was able to accomplish. It's the first movie of his I've liked, and hopefully won't be my last.

Doomsday. The CG at first looked a little out of place...but even that worked out fine in the end.
where Bruce is sleeping and we see... the possible future? I can understand how that sequence might of been confusing...but that was, really, the only part of the film, where the narrative felt 'off'. The movie had enough going on and this scene maybe should of been left as a teaser for after the end credits. What they show with the Parademons looked cool, though.)

I would think Whitta would've been mentioned somewhere down the line by now

I thought it was pretty great. I loved a lot of the Marvel movies, but this separated itself, it seemed a bit darker to me and not as colorful and over the top like some of the Marvel movies. I think Ben nailed his role as Batman. That was one of the things I was a bit worried about and I think he did a great job playing Batman. Going to go see it again on Sunday with my Wife.
A gaffer made this? Well we big news now boys!
