lmao, this was totally expected, but still a good lesson to never ever listen to those first reaction threads.

We all knew this would be a dumpster fire.
 
oh dear

right after I watched those positive impressions from you tube.... not outstanding but positive


Marvel put the foundation of humor, more lighthearted hero movies as a staple norm
 
Only one man can save the DCCU now

I mean his movies are okay movies, but they were awful super hero movies.

I guess it is impossible to do both at the same time.
 
Guys I've seen it and guarantee it is way way better than the horrible man of steel.

In fact I'd put it just below Dark Knight and Winter Soldier. Some of these reviews are quite surprising.

Then again the contents of the film and that ending was always going to split audiences again.
 
I am so glad I got to watch this movie before the deluge of all these fucking critics.

Most of them are elitist who think they are above this genre or just want this to be a carbon copy of the Marvel formula instead of something different.
 
I like the two reviews that try to give it "praise" by saying that at least it's better than Man of Steel.

I will be honest here, I have yet to truely enjoy any of Zack Snyder's film. Yes, that includes Watchmen. He does some nice cinematography, he uses special effects well, but he fails in the one thing that matters, making a movie enjoyable from start to end. And if the reviews in the OP are any indication, he continues that trend here.
 
and after this, get your hype trains ready for Badguy Patrol, the unbelievably fricked up film where Jared Leto is a real "basket case"... have you even seen what his forehead tat says? scary

can the DC Cinematic universe survive back to back terrible movies?

their biggest mistake was thinking Snyder was anything but a huge mistake. smh
 
Almost bought tickets today, decided to wait for the reviews. I only see a few movies in theaters and watch the rest at home. Looks like this will be a at home viewing.
 
Is it to late to put Berlanti in charge of the DC movies? He and the people he works with on the DC TV stuff at least get it.

maaaan this thread is good
reminds me of uncharted review threads, though not that bad

Please don't do this. Your embarrassing yourself.

Said it in a tweet already nearly the same thing don't expect anything from that movie either.
 
Building a megafranchise on Snyder's back was always a bad idea. But doubling down on it? God, what a mess.

Hopefully Suicide Squad can salvage things.
 
Given that the Dark Knight was pretty close to being the best reviewed comic film of all time (going by average review scores rather than less meaningful RT scores), and the fact that TDKR actually reviewed better than most of what Marvel has put out, I don't think there is some grand critic conspiracy against serious superhero films. They just don't like Snyder's take on dark/serious.
 
Go spend your money on 10 Cloverfield Lane instead . I have screening passes to this tonight, not sure if I even wanna go now.
Saw it 3 times already :)

I don't mind sitting through BvS tho, especially on a non-LieMax screen
 
Wasn't this supposed to be the greatest superhero movie ever? Reading through GAF the other day surely made it sound like that.
 
Several reviews knock it for not being a Marvel joyfest. I don't think that's fair. It's its own thing.

If they want to dislike it for other reasons, great. But to dock it points for not aping its nearest competitor closely enough is just dumb.

It's a big superhero movie, it should be fun for christ sake. DC's comics aren't this dull and uninspired so why should their movies be?
 
I dont have a hate bonber for Snyder but I have no idea how he kept getting all that work for these movies. All his stuff was pretty average. I wouldnt call anything he has touched great.


Hopefully this is the end for him him the comic movie space.
 
And here I was trying to be positive.

I'm sure us optimists will be eating crow soon in that prediction thread, but wow. I'm going to wait for the other reviews to start trickling in, but holy shit WB must be waiting for the good reviews now. I'd imagine Kevin Tsujihara is pissed at Zack Snyder now.

- Spent $250 million dollars on a movie with the three biggest heroes in all of comics and ended up slightly fucking it up.
- Jeopardized 6 movies slated for the future, 1 of which is being helmed by the man who may have fucked up.
- Jeopardized what could have been (and very likely still be) billions in dollars of revenue, year by year and lifetime for WB.
- Snyder may have fucked up yet another big budget blockbuster.

It should be worrying now that the entire basis for the DCCU is one solidly mediocre movie, that gets action and scale right and everything else pretty wrong, and another prospective mediocrity that looks to do the same thing.

Save us, Ben Affleck and Chris Terrio!
 
Guys it's a movie with Batman, why are you concerned because you already bought tickets? You know you're gonna see it regardless of the reviews....

The Nolan trilogy got rave reviews. Maybe Batman v Superman is just a shit film.
