Batman V Superman : Dawn of Justice |OT| Thanos Laughs In This

 

[Discotheque]

I mean it's trending lower than that right now...

no i mean average critic score. its just 0.1 above daredevil at the moment...yikes.

 

[Prompto]

We're on The Room Cycle now chaps.

Just when I thought we wouldn't have a better cycle than the Daredevil/Evangelion one

 

[Already Torn]

What are the chances of Snyder getting replaced in Justice League?

You're acting like Justice League will still happen

 

[Byronic Hero]

I'm dying guys. I can't handle this.

 

[bananafactory]

I feel like the only way people would be happy with this movies tone is if it starred Adam West as Batman.

Complaining about the darker theme of this movie is silly when we've known what we would be getting for a loooong time now. Especially as the source material it references is also dark as hell.

It seems to me that everyone is rushing to get that perfect dig in on Snyder.

This narrative keeps getting brought up and it's always flawed.

The Dark Knight was very dark and had some serious themes and it was critically acclaimed.

Daredevil Season 1/Jessica Jones were violent and mature and still praised.

The whole "People don't like it because it's not jokey and bright coloured like Marvel" thing just doesn't fly when you have these other properties completely defying that.

Batman V Superman : Dawn of Justice |OT| Whoever wins...we lose

 

[Jigorath]

The Room is amazing.

What's wrong with you people.

 

[G-Fex]

I mean, it's going to make a lot of money, probably the most out of all comicbook movies this year, that doesn't mean it's going to be good

oh right that's what greenlights sequel.

'goodness'

 

[vinnygambini]

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones 66%
BVS - 32%

Twice as worse

 

[MMarston]

They should get Sakaguchi to direct the next one.

 

[PR_rambo]

At leasts it's higher than meteor man.



C'MON METEOR MAN

 

[Kusagari]

Well let's all be serious...

There is no way in hell this movie will be as entertaining as The Room.

 

[Alandrus Sun]

I'm dying guys. I can't handle this.

Hey now, I started that Gif in this thread. C'mon Bronx-Man give a gaffer some credit.

What are the chances of Snyder getting replaced in Justice League?

Pretty sure they are in preproduction so it's going to have an impact if they do replace him.

 

[Slayer-33]

Send help, I can't

 

[Gaiaknight]

still hyped for this plus its a good thing i dont critique movies and just sit back and enjoy the ride which is why i can honestly say i have never not enjoyed a movie i paid to see.

 

[AlfredX1990]

What are the chances of Snyder getting replaced in Justice League?

About 0 unless there's a massive drop in audiences for the second week, as if a random theater that's still showing The Force Awakens in the middle of nowhere makes more money than BvS

It's not that they wouldn't consider it if they had more time until the JL movie, but they start filming next month

 

[Dalek]

YOU'RE TEARING ME APART

Nothing tops this.

 

[hamchan]

Who knew that Ben Affleck's highest rated super hero movie is still Daredevil? This is a hilarious situation.

 

[cdyhybrid]

They should get Sakaguchi to direct the next one.

 

[munchie64]

The Room is amazing.

What's wrong with you people.

Tommy Johnny is the hero we deserve.

 

[Nelo Ice]

O man this is just cruel. I watched one of the early screenings and I wasn't exactly impressed but I didn't think it was this bad. Then again I only watched it cuz it was free otherwise I probably would have passed.

Haven't read through reviews but they probably aren't that far off. Snyder basically ignored everything we liked about the characters and threw them out the window for a complete grim dark tone.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Me right now, as someone who hated Man of Steel and therefore was not the least bit excited for this movie.

My legitimate sympathies to the DC bros but I gotta be honest, this is fun to watch. I already had my turn when ASM2 came out.

Haven't read through reviews but they probably aren't that far off. Snyder basically ignored everything we liked about the characters and threw them out the window for a complete grim dark tone.

Oh but don't forget, if you don't like Snyder's interpretation of the characters, you're no true scotsman. According to him.

It's a shame I didn't buy an IMAX ticket because I'll miss (minor spoiler)

[Obliterator]

37%?!?!

Holy shit DC what are you doing. If audiences have a similar reaction this could damage the entire DCU film plans

 

[clay_ghost]

There is a 1st for everything.


Just kidding, really hope people who paid will enjoy the movie.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

How's Troll 2 holding up

 

[theifofdreams]

DC fans in denial starting to pour in.
We were complaining about the darker themes because we knew from MoS that Snyder couldn't do them justice.

Or someone who will judge the movie myself instead of reviewers and forum posters who vie for the best zinger.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

You're acting like Justice League will still happen

You're acting like BvS isn't going to make enough money to green light Justice League all the way through.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Putting together a compset for BvS. Here is a list of its peers, comic book movies that were similar in critic reception. You know, plus or minus 10%.

Daredevil: 44%
Fantastic Four: 27%
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer: 37%
Blade: Trinity: 25%
X-Men Origins: Wolverine: 38%
Green Lantern: 26%
Batman Forever: 41%
Superman III: 26%

And comic book movies that are way out of BvS's league:

Man of Steel: 56%
The Amazing Spider-Man 2: 53%
X-Men: The Last Stand 58%

 

[Bronx-Man]

Hey now, I started that Gif in this thread. C'mon Bronx-Man give a gaffer some credit.

You are the forefather of the gif. Hallowed be Alandrus name.

Ahhhhh god, I've completely shot my throat laughing at these fucking RT comparisons lol.

These thread titles, just wow

 

[The Kree]

What are the chances of Snyder getting replaced in Justice League?

When the movie inevitably makes a billion dollars? Zero. This movie doesn't need to be good. It just needs to sell.

 

[CassSept]

I thought comparing review scores was a banned meme.

Spoiler

oh god this thread is hilarious, good riddance though, MoS was awful and since this one follows the same style it deserves all the ridicule in the world

 

[321florida]

Any media where Batman actually has a chance at fighting Superman is idiotic.

I figured it would review badly.

 

[B33]

What are the chances of Snyder getting replaced in Justice League?

Unlikely. They apparently start shooting in three weeks.

It'd be an unprecedented move for WB.

 

[Dany]

YOU'RE TEARING ME APART

 

[G-Fex]

that was pretty fun movie, even though Rogen is obnoxious.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

 

[Salsa]

remember when WB said audiences werent ready for the themes this film dealt with

they're probably right, this is too smart for us

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

When the movie inevitably makes a billion dollars? Zero. This movie doesn't need to be good. It just needs to sell.

Not necessarily. Depends on what the studio expectations are.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

I'm going to laugh hard if it makes a ton of money

It still could, with all that desperate marketing WB has been doing. I think I can say it this time without fanboys jumping on me.
