You misspelled tomatoes and damn at these reviews. I was getting hype for Friday.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

If it really is worse than man of Steel...

I don't know how a batman superman film can be made that's worse than mos

 

[Smokey_Run]

So about that 800 million dollars it needs to make for breaking even...

Well, it's really not happening.

The 800 million number was if they had to rely on box office receipts alone. They have toys, home release, and TV deals to lower that number.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Sheeeeit

Hype still intact

 

[hamchan]

Even a couple of the positive reviews have a "but..." in them.

 

[xaosslug]

British reviews are in

XD

 

[WordsintheWater]

Some people hate the first hour and love the rest, others love the first hour and hate the rest lol

 

[FTF]

ughhhhhhh...37%, 10 fresh, 17 rotten and 5.3/10 rating

Hopefully it can get to 50-60% after 100+ reviews :/

 

[Ridley327]

I see the game they are playing. Start this shit at 11% and have it climb to 38%; you're now thinking "Damn 38% that's not that bad!"

Critics agree! Batman v. Superman is "...not...that...bad..."

 

[Daft_Cat]

This is really sad. I've thought the trailers were terrible but I never hope to be right. Especially for such a big film in which I sort of feel forced to see out of obligation. I know that sounds stupid to say, but we're all going to see this rotten thing anyway aren't we?

No?

I mean, I'll check it out on Netflix or something down the line... but the DC fan in me doesn't feel up to watching another shitty adaptation of great material.

I'll follow the reception closely (particularly what fans are saying), and I'll give the film the benefit of the doubt if some of the venom evaporates. Then again, if it really is "that bad", then no - I'm going to go ahead and reject the narrative that says consumers who choose to give a shit about quality also lack self-control when something is clearly less than good.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I saw a tweet about 10% and said nah they must be trolling

I click on RT....


bruh...

 

[rekameohs]

Stick a fork in Snyder, he's done

 

[Lord Virgin]

Is them canning Snyder for the next film an actual possibility?

April 11th is when they start shooting JL, so there is still time I guess. But they need a replacement. Nolan's dick aint gonna suck itself, so worth a shot. Or maybe George Miller.

 

[JTripper]

Someone must be held responsible. Either MoS was a better film than we all think, or BvS is actually good.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Almost like Zac Snyder is a bad director. The idea that they were planning to build their cinematic universe on his back is fucking hilarious.

 

[IconGrist]

This is going to resemble Man of Steel's rating that sits around 50%. But ultimately, nobody refers back to the RT rating when discussing that film. Eventually, people here will see this film and then perhaps we can discuss the meat and bones of it, particularly the writing and pace.

Until then, this is just a silly game of "lols".

Well then you haven't been part of many of the MoS discussions lol

 

[Creamium]

Wait, what?!

Well, based on this:

Strangely enough, Nolan was involved in the decision making of having Zack Snyder lead the future of DC instead of Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code)

http://www.slashfilm.com/christopher-nolans-short-list-of-potential-superman-directors-revealed/

Just imagine, we could've had MoS/this with Jones.

 

[Discotheque]

That meta score based on these savage reviews is surprisingly high tbh.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

The stuff the critics are saying match what some who have seen it on this forum have said, but obviously it bothered them more.

 

[Abounder]

Holy rotten tomatoes Batman

Suicide Squad you da real MVP, hopefully anyway

 

[Alandrus Sun]

I cannot wait to watch this trainwreck.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Critics agree! Batman v. Superman is "...not...that...bad..."

Patiently waiting for the enthusiast press to start screencapping RT scores and loading up joke tweets for quickly shareable articles that completely cement the narrative before the film even opens.

At this point caning Snyder for the next film might be in the cards.

 

[Anton Sugar]

From the Telegraph review:

But if Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer’s script hobbles Eisenberg, it judo-sweeps the feet out from under every woman in sight. Both Adams’ Lois Lane and Diane Lane’s Martha Kent are serial victims, Holly Hunter’s potentially sparky role as a senator prepared to stand up to Luthor never coheres, and until the big finish, Gadot isn't called on to do much but slink.

It’s a Men’s Rights loon’s dream of meathead orthodoxy, and leaves you wondering if Mad Max: Fury Road and Star Wars: The Force Awakens actually happened.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

So I guess they are still going to go with Snyder to do the rest of the movies too?

 

[VanWinkle]

Patiently waiting for the enthusiast press to start screencapping RT scores and loading up joke tweets for quickly shareable articles that completely cement the narrative before the film even opens.

yup

 

[Dalek]

They need the Anti-Monitor to show up in the first scene of Justice League and wipe out this universe and start from scratch.

 

[Tucah]

39%, it's rising!

 

[exmachina64]

Batman v. Superman |OT2| Fail harder.

 

[Platy]

Brazilian IGN - 7

As the base for the DCU cinematographic universe, the movie bites more than it can eat with it's fragmented story and hardly convincing script

 

[Nintendoga]

Fuck
God damn it
Even MoS didn't stray under the 50%. I knew this wasn't gonna be Marvel Quality but still, Batman and Superman on the big screen for the first time.

Bravo Snyder.

 

[Ashodin]

Holy rotten tomatoes Batman

Suicide Squad you da real MVP, hopefully anyway

Speaking from reading the negative reviews, SS will have the "quips" and "fun" they're looking for. We can already see that in the trailers.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Saw this coming since the first trailers, but really was hoping I was wrong.

Hopefully Suicide Squad is awesome.

Also look forward to some standalone Bats in the near future.

 

[PBY]

From the Telegraph review:

This movie has Mens Rights bullshit in it too? LOL

 

[NealMcCauley]

Tomatometer might climb but I doubt this won't get a higher average rating than 5.5-6/10. Even that might be impossible.

 

[NotLiquid]

Well, based on this:



Just imagine, we could've had MoS/this with Jones.

Seriously? Jones was originally gonna be responsible for this enterprise?

No amount of Snyder cinematography can convince me that this tradeoff was a good idea.

 

[Einchy]

In a dark hallway somewhere in the Warner Brother's offices there's a secret packed being formed to make David Ayer the head of the DCU.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

From Grace's review. It feels like some critics didn't know that superhero stories could take themselves seriously, in the context of supernatural mythology.
It's almost as if they're not as familiar with the range of comicbook stories.

I'm super interested in this now. Looking forward to it more than I was today!

 

[PROh1bited]

It still looks like Snyder's only good film is Dawn of the Dead.

 

[Officerrob]

Read the positive reviews, they are not very positive

 

[Spaghetti]

Do they boot Snyder off Justice League or naw? It's due to start shooting soon, right?

 

[Phediuk]

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a treat for the eyes, but it will hurt your brain and break your heart.

.

 

[Anton Sugar]

This movie has Mens Rights bullshit in it too? LOL

All those early impressions about WW/Gal Gadot stealing the show vs this...so intriguing. Must see it.

 

[Bluekaveli]

April 11th is when they start shooting JL, so there is still time I guess. But they need a replacement. Nolan's dick aint gonna suck itself, so worth a shot. Or maybe George Miller.

Nolan would bring in his own cast.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

This movie has Mens Rights bullshit in it too? LOL

You expected something else from the guy who made Sucker Punch?

 

[Discotheque]

This movie has Mens Rights bullshit in it too? LOL

No he's talking about how the film is hyper masculine and the women characters are fairly paper thin

 

[Rooster12]

Maybe the superhero cinematic universe don't need someone like Batman anymore....the grim dark days are over.

Bring on Harley Quinn, Plastic Man, Flash, Booster Gold etc....

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

This movie has Mens Rights bullshit in it too? LOL

Nah, it's just saying the female roles aren't that great.

 

[ezekial45]

Some of these reviews read like they're just begging to be spread around on twitter for the 'lols' or the 'oh shit this reviewer went in' type deal. It's kinda fucked up how so many people seem to have it out for this movie. I mean, yeesh. It's ridiculous.

 

[MaximusPayne]

Are reviews really going to stop people from seeing this movie, though. Really?!

I'm still sad
