It's so sad. We could've gotten a great movie with the budget this movie had but now it's probably going to be MOS tier bad. I'm going to go see this on Thursday still as I already paid for the tickets, but man it's souring me from DC movies. I guess Civil War when it comes out will help me wash out the bitter taste of disappointment I will undoubtedly feel when I watch this.

I like Watchmen a lot. It's a bit long, but I enjoy it quite a bit. Same with Constantine, that's got a low RT score but I think it's leagues better than Thor.
The only movie I care about winning this summer. Looks like it'll do it too!
This is the 8th Batman film in the last past 30 years. I don't think an origin story is needed. They don't re-cover Bond's origin every time they change actors/direction.

Affleck did turn out to be a decent filmmaker but Argo was a weak as hell best picture winner.
Which was also lackluster compared to the original.
lol let's at least wait for another 100 or so reviews.
There's no way it's Daredevil, Catwoman, B&R, etc. bad.
Yes DC, this is the guy to hedge all your bets on your potential multi-billion dollar franchise.
(he only produced 302: Spartan Boogaloo)
Yep, the guy makes shit films.

This has me vaguely hopeful. How is Watchman a 56? That film was goddamned amazing.
Showed my girlfriend the trailer after we finished Season 2 and she was in tears laughing.

Agree with that 100% but I still liked it.
Almost every movie ever made is luckluster compared to the original Dawn of the Dead.
The Snyder remake is one of the better remakes ever IMO.
When you're at the bottom of the well, you cling to hope wherever you can find it.

Snyder probably does get Superman. Its just that, people at DC/WB, and fans themselves all collectively thought he should reproduce Dark Knight Returns instead.Bet BobbyRoberts is happy that Snyder who doesn't get Superman is getting a thrashing now
It's no one's fault. It's the result of drinking too much Batman Kool-Aid over the years.
I don't think it's entirely about tone. The Nolan Batman films were pretty dark. They still succeed as films for having good scripts, a director who can get good performances out of his actors and being fast-paced, intense movies.
Snyder films are invariably boring slogs no matter what tone they take.

Affleck is the most worrisome thing in this movie for me. Did everyone forget Daredevil? Before MCU and netflix revived him, Affleck had completely destroyed him.
The list is stupid. Dawn of the Dead was amazing and one of the few great remakes of horror classics. Watchmen was great, Legend of the Gurdians was amazing.

It really puts tremendous pressure on Suicide Squad. Batman vs Superman will probably still make a lot of money but the question for WB coming out of this is, can we still grow the DCCU like Marvel can grow their universe? Or is the foundation rotten? Suicide Squad is the test.
Or Jonah Hex...

There were, like, three or four that came out in theaters last year.

300 was fun. The rest mediocre
As long a white guy is cast as Tonto.
Nothing. SS is coming out in a few months. WW is done and coming out next year. JL PT1 starts shooting in a couple of weeks. If anything Snyder doesn't touch Batman or Superman for JL PT2.
Movies like Cyborg get thrown in a "wait and see pile"

They do if they're going to change it.
I can't help but wonder why they would put such important movies to the DCU in the hands of such a divisive director. I'm not going to say he's bad, because he's almost ALWAYS right down the middle in opinions. About half of the people like his movies and about half dislike his movies in pretty much all of his filmography. It's bizarre.
I may end up loving the movie, but why not give it to a more critically acclaimed director?

well there needs to be something positive at this point :/
I am more worried for Wonder Woman. How will that character be received after this?

Holy shit, they used let the bodies hit the floor.
A TRAILER FOR A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE USED LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR

I can say personally that the reviews don't affect me one bit. I've always loved Snyder's films. I love Dawn of the Dead. I think Sucker Punch is one hell of an underrated ride, and Man of Steel is my favorite Superman film of all. And Watchmen is a masterpiece IMO. So yeah, maybe it's just my tastes. In any case I have high hopes for BvS. At worst, it'll be a heavily flawed movie about some of my favorite characters in fiction. Which is still a very good, watchable thing to me. I'm not expecting TDK or anything, but I'm still hyped as fuck!

So does this mean Affleck is a shoo-in for winning another Razzie Award for next year's show?
If not necessarily for worst (supporting) actor, I'm sure the Razzie committee will make the next show's special award theme will definitely be made with BvS in mind. "Razzie Award For Actor Who Needs To Stay Away From A Specific Genre" or something.

Well at least something good came of this, Affleck's Batman movie should hopefully be good. That dude can actually direct good movies so that's a start...
He totally doesn't , though.
300 was great.
Man of Steel was great
Dawn of the Dead was great.
Sucker Punch was great.
Zach Snyder is alright. I like highbrow films too!
Technically WB can still replace Snyder with someone else right?

If that's the best movie he ever made, then I don't want to see another one of his movies again. That movie was boring as hell, and I'm speaking as someone who ate up the books as a kid.

Sure it's only three films, but I'd say Aflleck has been better than a decent filmmaker so far. Argo gets crap because it's a weak best picture winner, but it's still a damn good film. Hell, I think Argo is his weakest film

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Dawn of the Dead is to Snyder what Red Dragon is to Brett Ratner. If you watched their entire body of work except those films, you would never be able to place that they directed them.
