I imagine the same people thinking BvsS was going to be good are the same people thinking X-Men: Apocalypse is going to stink.

The writing is on the wall, you're just ignoring it.

Speed-Racer was legit.

Speed Racer was awesome. The world wasn't ready.

The world probably still isn't ready.

Probably never will.

But Speed Racer will always be awesome to me.

Hey, so real quick, if I may...

Why are we comparing the RT's of movies with ~200 reviews to a movie with like 20?

I'm just curious.

Because people are generally quick to judge and think it's funny that the score is low right now. (I don't think it will get TOO much higher, though, but it's still way too early to make any real judgments.)

 

[Garlador]

Am I a bad person for enjoying this reception thus far? Like, it's making me giddy.

 

[Slayven]

Slav has officially lost it.

It introduced the red infinity stone, which is kind of important.

But like... to no effect. They fell through some portals, but we never saw anything meaningful come from it.

 

[Rooster12]

Justice League starts shooting in three weeks, and WB have probably sunk too much money in it already to stop or delay. I'm sure guys like Snyder and Affleck have pay-or-play deals too that would make it too cost-prohibitive to disrupt production now. But maybe JL2?

If that's the case then WB needs to do the studio-interference thing....a lot.

Anytime Snyder tries one of his "fancy" ideas it needs to be shot down immediately.

like I said people really expect shit out of hype rather than the people behind it

you look at Xmen movies, the good ones have Bryan Singer behind them

this one has Bryan Singer behind it

it's gonna be good.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

uhhh...there was red stuff

and an elf guy(?)

I remember Kat's Dennings in that movie, quirky comedy relief character ala Michael Pena

dats it tho

Yeah, I don't like doing that either...but I think it's like CNN calling state elections with say only 10-20% of the votes counted. There is usually a trend/pattern you can extrapolate from.

Hope is it gets up to the 50-60% range.

 

[xaosslug]

They aren't. Pretend it is some small variation on Miller's Batman Year 1.

or just another Batman from a different universe...

 

[BruceCLea]

Yes it does, new films come out all the time, you're just not watching them.

Oscars nominees, for instance, save for Fury Road were all great ideas.

I saw almost all the best picture noms. I meant for big scale movies. Summer blockbusters. Star Wars was good but also derivative as hell. Mad Max is a fucking classic. Sorry wasn't clear.

 

[WayneMorse]

Snyder should've been out of a career after fucking up Watchmen so hard but they just gotta keep giving him shit to fuck up.

Snyder comes from the Reddit School of I Think This Is Deep and Meaningful and Symbolic.

 

[RE_Player]

Thor 2 > Thor 1

I will fight all of you. Don't test me.

I'll let you in on a little secret...

Spoiler

Neither of the Thor films are good

 

[rrc1594]

I feel my wings have broken in your hands
I feel the words unspoken inside
And, they pull you under
And, I will give you anything you want, oh
You are all I wanted
All my dreams are fallen down
Crawlin' around and around and around

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through it
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it, just stay, stay
C'mon, I've been waiting for you

I see the world has folded in your heart
I feel the waves crash down inside
And, they pull me under
I would give you anything you want, oh
You are all I wanted
All my dreams have fallen down
Crawlin' around and around and around...

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through it
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it, just stay, stay
C'mon, I've been waiting for you

All my dreams are on the ground
Crawlin' around and around and around...

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it just stay (stay with me)

I made this whole world shine for you
Just stay, stay
C'mon, I'm still waiting for you

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.

It's no one's fault. It's the result of drinking too much Batman Kool-Aid over the years.

Hang on, you're arguing it's Nolan's films' fault that Snyder made (another) mediocre film and that he actually gets the characters?

Okay...

Myself I'm not surprised. MoS was turgid and featured all of Snyder's glaring weaknesses and this time around the trailers were actually honest and contained those self same flaws (unlike MoS trailers - whoever cut those together was a genius as they made a mediocre film appear like it was going to be a classic).

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Is Thor 2 the one with Natalie Portman

I liked that one

 

[Sadist]

Well... I didn't expect this. Yikes.

Guess Disney/Marvel and Fox will be pretty happy abou this.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Thor 2 was bad, but Iron Man 3 was just incredibly disappointing.

Iron Man 3 defied my expectations of what it was going to be, but I enjoyed it all the same. Telling the audience to "get the fuck over 9/11" is kind of a bold thing for a superhero movie to do.

 

[Cheat Code]

Selfishly hoping it stays low so the one guy who keeps telling me that BvS would be the best movie of the year looks stupid.

 

[MisterHero]

That is definitely too true.

And when it all comes down to it, they're not going to blame or criticize Batman in this movie. If anything it'd be minimal.

I don't even hate Batman in general.

But, BvS invites two fanbases to one movie. The former character shits on the latter character, beats him up, and then

Spoiler

the latter character dies

. That's pretty frickin oppressive to one of the fanbases.

 

[brandonh83]

I guess I meant the reception. But I haven't liked any other Snyder film so chances are I ain't going to like this one.

Very true, I was in the same boat until I saw Man of Steel. But if you don't even like that, then yeah.

 

[Rhaknar]

I imagine the same people thinking BvsS was going to be good are the same people thinking X-Men: Apocalypse is going to stink.

The writing is on the wall, you're just ignoring it.

what if one thinks both are going to suck

 

[jett]

Am I a bad person for enjoying this reception thus far? Like, it's making me giddy.

Everyone enjoys some good ol' schadenfreude.

 

[Kaervas]

Avengers 1 has 92% on rotten tomatoes, and I hated that watered down pos.

 

[guek]

I just got home, how do the reviews lo-

 

[TwoDurans]

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.

Daredevil wasn't that bad when you look at it as an extended Evanescence music video.

 

[Principate]

But like... to no effect. They fell through some portals, but we never saw anything meaningful come from it.

Isn't Odin dead (or gone), Thor left Asgard and Loki now in charge.

It made little sense but it's not like nothing happened.

 

[Vampirolol]

Fuck, already bought my tickets. Never liked any Snyder movie, excluding Watchmen, but this time I was hoping to see some dumb spectacle... maybe there's still hope.

 

[FTF]

Selfishly hoping it stays low so the one guy who keeps telling me that BvS would be the best movie of the year looks stupid.

He's still going to love it and tell you it's the/his best movie of the year though.

 

[hal9001]

Someone will be bound to edit this gif.

 

[HowZatOZ]

It introduced the red infinity stone, which is kind of important.

I feel like that could have been introduced in any other movie setting and it would be fine. Hell they could of just done it in Avengers 2.

 

[Ridley327]

Is Thor 2 the one with Natalie Portman

I liked that one

I think it has Malachite, too. You know, the older bishie villain from the first season of Sailor Moon.

...maybe?

 

[G-Bus]

I like how all of the GAF impressions were glowing and I come in here and read this.

Wtf.

 

[……forgetit]

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.

Well

Spoiler

Batman never kills anyone in the dark knight returns

so.....a step too far?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

The film may be imposing, but it's not fun.

We need to stop acting like "fun" is one linear constant thing.

 

[WaterAstro]

See I don't even remember. It's just that dull.

And fans won't want to remember Batman vs Superman lol.

But like... to no effect. They fell through some portals, but we never saw anything meaningful come from it.

Except the power to destroy reality.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Save us, Civil War.

 

[ElNarez]

Many critics fault it for literally not being a Marvel movie, but like

that's a good thing

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Avengers 1 has 92% on rotten tomatoes, and I hated that watered down pos.

One aggregate score not meeting your expectations doesn't mean that another won't.

 

[Salsa]

im gonna go watch Zootopia

lol poor guy

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Huh.
Never thought about it like that.

 

[Slaythe]

Ask the people who liked ASM2

ASM 2 was much better than Spiderman 3, something people like to forget.

As for BVS : I payed for my ticket yesterday, going to see it tomorrow...

Perfect gif :

 

[Nafai1123]

like I said people really expect shit out of hype rather than the people behind it

you look at Xmen movies, the good ones have Bryan Singer behind them

this one has Bryan Singer behind it

it's gonna be good.

But he also did Superman Returns...

 

[Lord Virgin]

I just got home, how do the reviews lo-

Well, Al Roker gave it a 6 out of 5! So there is that.

Also, lol @ the people judging the movie (or even certain characters) without seeing it themselves.

 

[brandonh83]

Many critics fault it for literally not being a Marvel movie, but like

Are they? I haven't actually read any of the reviews, just some of the blurbs.

 

[BruceCLea]

Justice League starts shooting NEXT MONTH! By God stop this madness and throw Snyder off the goddamn lot.

START OVER!

Now I know why he had such a quick turnaround, he knew his movie sucked!

 

[BitStyle]

Save us, Civil War.

I believe...

Spoiler

Cuz if they fuck up Black Panther there'll be hell to pay

 

[Mifune]

I like how all of the GAF impressions were glowing and I come in here and read this.

Wtf.

GAF impressions were mixed, though. And some of them read like they were trying really hard not to emphasize the negative and rain on the parade.
