Now here is my question:
WHAT THE FUCK WAS NOLAN DOING DURING ALL OF THIS?
He was the producer FFS. Did he just sit at home and chug down Goldfish crackers and Yoo-Hoo and just let Snyder do his thing? A man of his talent surely saw the shit show that was MoS and BvS.
Why didn't he do anything?

I thought Thor 2 was better than a majority of the MCU movies. I think it's underrated. But then again, I don't think GOTG is that good and conceptually even worse (a talking tree and raccoon are horrendous ideas on paper for me, ugh).
Back on topic, after seeing Metacritic (which I prefer more than Rotten Tomatoes by a long shot), I'm starting to gain acceptance. It seems in line with (on the bottom end tho) Snyder's other films and for me he's a crapshoot.
For me:
Watchmen - Classic.
300 - Amazing.
Sucker Punch - Mediocre.
Man of Steel - Worst superhero movie of all time.
So it can mean anything for me. I'm starting to get my excitement back and it's only a few days before I get to see Batman PUNCH SUPERMAN IN THE FACE WOOOOOOOOO

He was such an awfully pick to began with; Honestly one of the worst miscasting in years.

So glad Zack Snyder is done directing any DC films after this.

This sucks. I really wanted it to be good. The trailers weren't inspiring but I held out hope.
Disagree, but to each their own. I found MoS much more interesting.

Ouch. Still excited. I enjoyed (and still enjoy) MoS and people ripped that to shreds.
good lord it was not
ASM2 is most likely the worst superhero movie, without counting "no one cared" abortions
it's a complete piece of shit with nothing redeeming about it other than maybe some colorful CG sequence
it made me sick
"Glowing"? Pretty much everything I read from people on here seems positive but far from "glowing".
He ain't doing shit other than cashing checks.
He rightfully disassociated himself from Snyder.
Spielberg produced the Transformers films. He doesn't care; he gets a nice paycheck for almost no involvement! I call that the good life.
Its the directors vision. A shitty director.
Doesn't he start filming Justice League in like 3 weeks or something?

On the topic of Thor 2, I kinda find it telling that it's the only MCU film I haven't gone out of my way to see yet. I've seen most of them in theaters as of this point, and the few I haven't seen I've caught on DVD (the first Iron Man and Captain America) or on TV (the first Thor). I'll probably get around to seeing The Dark World, I'm sure of it....
*Executive produced.
Which by this point (Age of Extinction) I'm inclined to agree that's exactly what his role actually equates to.

He was doing the same thing Spielberg was doing when Revenge of the Fallen was going off the rails.

You're not wrong. It had some scripting issues but overall I thought it was fine, well done, and fantastic in places. Great climax and ending too. Spiderman 3 is just dogshit.
Well, most marvel films tend to get above 70% in those site, and they are all below average and simple products.
I think Marvel has set up a format of super heroe movie and deviations from that stuff tend to be not well recieved.
That and I really liked Man of Steel, so maybe im the one with shitty taste and not reviewers.
It's still going to do $1b ww...WB will care if fans and the ga don't like it, but not enough to stop the train.
He's about to do Justice League!

I liked that movie more than Spiderman 3ASM 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...

And? Are you saying writers and bad scripts are responsible for all bad films? He directed the damn thing meaning he should take the most responsibility as head of the project.
A fair few of them fault the movie for not being funny and quirky, which doesn't make much sense considering the style of Batman they are going for and the whole "there are these alien superheroes just chilling on earth, the fuck we do?"

I'm a little surprised by how harsh the reviews have been so far, when maybe I shouldn't be. Zack Snyder - while seeming like a great, humble guy in the couple of Q&As I've seen him at - has yet to make a film that didn't boil down to just action. Even Dawn of the Dead - often touted as his masterpiece - was just okay to me.
My faith still rests in the Affleck-directed Batman film and Ayer's Suicide Squad. Both have a much better track record than Snyder.

Nolan doesn't give a shit, he is waaaay to good for all of this, Just slapping his name on it for that $. Question is how many calls he gets in the middle of the night from WB, crying and begging for him to take over.

The Bottom Line: Director Zack Snyder delivers above and beyond the wildest of expectations. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is an awesome mind-blowing spectacle of what an extraordinary superhero film is and should be, filled with edge-of-the-seat action on a grand scale, amazing character-driven stories, and immense heart. Snyder absolutely nails it by making us root for these characters and believe they could exist in our real world.
My Rating: 4.5/ 5

This is split as a muthafucka'

if i was that mcweeney guy i'd tweet this out:

but that would be completely unprofessional of him so it would be a bad idea haha. i remember when many people (probably myself too, don't remember) were doubting him when he said that WB was worried about the reception this one will get.

Formula? It's not like Snyder is directing every DCU movie.

So Justice League 2 should just be Superboy Prime rampaging over how they fucked up everything.

I just got home, how do the reviews lo-
Did LOL
As far as I am concerned the film is getting its just desserts, When you stick with the same creative force behind Man of Steel (the worst comic book movie in recent years... even Hasslehoff's Nick Fury tv movie was better!) you are in for some serious trouble.
I remember leaving the theater baffled by whatever the fuck ASM2 was. Like... it was a feverdream of bad dubstep, awkward romance (?), and bad tablesetting.

I fell asleep during GOTG. Only superhero movie that has done that to me that I can think of at the moment.
It is because the entire idea of superman makes no sense in the Nolan batman universe.

What I think makes me angry the most is the tonetime they had to tighten this movie and prevent the motherfucking ship from leaking.

fuck, did you see the doc?
it looked fucking cool man. It was like a one-off comic with someone being given the helm to just do a complete retake on the mythos
like, enough stuff completely changed to avoid pissing people off on what they got "wrong"
the core of the character was also very intact. Burton totally got him
