Forbes reviewer says "Not helping is a terribly written Bruce Wayne/Batman. Ben Affleck is a fine actor, but his Batman/Bruce Wayne is the least appealing cinematic incarnation you've ever seen."

That seems to go against what most people say.

holy shit-this should be in the OP.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[mrjohill]

With Bale/Nolan? Yes, please!

I mean I'll take affleck he seems to be the only bright spot lol

 

[Shamrock7r]

Just sold my ticket Friday. Going to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. More than twice as good it looks like.

 

[Strangelove77]

It'll probably be enjoyable-ish at worst.

Still I don't understand. If it has the same problems as man of steel then why why why did they still have Snyder on the project? Surely DC's people aren't dumb enough to have the same thing happen twice right? I'd hope at least with the money being thrown around.

Probably because despite its quality it made them money. This one will too. The brand is bigger than everything else in this case.

 

[inky]

Ouch

 

[Sandfox]

Well this doesn't sound too good. WB may have to step in and make some changes.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Seems like critics dislike this film for not being the film they want it to be rather than what it is. Again. Why complain that it has no humour or is not Donner version you grew up with ffs.

Or this quote points to this movie not having anything successful or unique it can point to at all as a redeeming feature.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Wow. I'm genuinely surprised it sounds like it's not better than I expected it to be.

 

[kiguel182]

Sounds like a Snyder movie.

I'll still go see it because it's an event but yeah, so far is what I expected from Snyder.

 

[the_firewithin]

lol these reviews are savage but at least most seem to agree Batfleck is awesome

 

[aly]

Y'all ready for another batman trilogy?

I am. This looked a mess to begin with, but Affleck as Batman is still something to be excited for.

 

[The Artisan]

damn, these are some bad ass reviews

 

[Fracas]

whoa

it's almost like zack snyder is a garbage director or something

I think the other films are brought up to show that the film is lacking in areas and that these other comic films managed to hit on

It's just makes the point stand out more. The reviewer could say that it's humorless and shallow without hose comparisons; they just serve to strengthen their point

 

[Dynasty]

I enjoyed Man of Steel despite its flaws so hearing BvS is better than MoS is good enough for me.

 

[echoshifting]

I can't believe I'm gonna wait to rent Batman vs. Superman. Holy shit.

 

[cyberheater]

I knew this was going to be shite. Such a stupid idea in the first place. Stupid Batman.

 

[kaskade]

So Batman is the best thing about the film? I kind of figured that would happen. Just give me the standalone already.

 

[mreddie]

It's gonna get good reviews by Friday, it's not doom and gloom but fuck...

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I'm not surprised.

 

[The Elite]

Y'all ready for another batman trilogy?

I will take a Bat-Fleck trilogy with a good director.

 

[JTripper]

As I read through this thread, all I hear is this

 

[Rooster12]

I honestly don't believe it and won't. How could it possibly be that bad?

Me neither....who knows...won't know until after you see it.

 

[PR_rambo]

Get George Miller on Justice League.

Yes

 

[Schweinehund]

Yeah, I'm sure that's the issue.

Obviously I can't say until I watch the film, but dinging a film for those two things seems... I don't know, a bit limited in perception of what a superhero film can be.

 

[StoopKid]

 

[NotLiquid]

I have no doubt that the reviews are gonna be better later but

At least Man of Steel had a somewhat respectable "mixed" reception out of the gate.

This is straight up abysmal.

Goes against what most people say or what most DC fans say?

 

[maxcriden]

It's gonna murder the WOM.

Hey, MBFGW2 could do pretty well....

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

WELCOME TO HELL

 

[JimiNutz]

They need to get rid of Snyder and hurry up and make a Batman film.
Hopefully they get someone else in to do Justice League.

 

[ScaIeboundGOTY]

wow i wish i could say more about this film... but i think youre all going to be very very satisfied.

i wouldnt trust some of these negative pre reviews farther than batman can throw superman

 

[scoobs]

oh boy. Well, I'm still gonna see it, but I was hoping Affleck could salvage whatever disaster of a script DC decided on. Oh well, there's always Suicide Squad.

 

[Einchy]

Time for the DCU to get a reboot.

Still seeing it on Thursday but I'll go in there with tepid expectations.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

News within a week from today:

Production of Justice League film postponed.

Count on it.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

I'm sure many of you feel very validated. Good for you

 

[Discotheque]

Jesus Christ.

I was trying to be optimistic. My brother in law just texted me this:

M Night Shyamyalan had unbreakable, 6 sense and signs

Snyder will never be him

Also my brothers....lone Ranger got 31 on RT. There's still hope this is decent!....or not. Snyder's no gore verbinski. Fuuuuck please don't drag Batgod down back to the mud.

 

[Nyanmaruz]

Godammnit, not even Terrio could save this huh?

[Tabby]

How do you go from such positive first impressions from Grace and such to this? I'm honestly confused here.

6/10

From the other thread. I love /Film and I know the enjoyed MoS. Still pumped to see it on Friday despite reviews. Snyder films are divisive after all.

 

[RBelong2Us]

Go spend your money on 10 Cloverfield Lane instead . I have screening passes to this tonight, not sure if I even wanna go now.

 

[Liquidsnake]

You cant be surprised, you just cant, I feel genuinely sorry for Batman and Superman fans that these are the films they get.

When you hear rumblings of the studio panicking, its usually grounded in some reality.

I'm having a hard time fathoming a more uncompelling Batman than Bale's but I guess here we are.

 

[Uzumaki Goku]

Well... damn... I had hope against hope... but this... this bad? ...this is depressing. Batman and Superman's first on-screen meeting... and THIS is what we get. *Sighs*
