"Leaked". Like how Deadpool's original test footage was 'leaked'?

No, as in someone went into the ratings board for movies and grabbed it

Deadpool's test footage was only given to 3 or 4 people. That rating was basically accessible by anybody.

 

[EdReedFan20]

He's one of us.

He once almost missed an audition (for Superman?) because he was busy playing WOW.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Ben just wanted to do this movie for his kids not for the fans or even WB/DC. Personally I do not think he was the best option to do Batman.

So when the "best" part of the movie is Ben's Batman and the rest is lame you can say you are screwed.

The problem with Superman is that he resembles an America than does not exists any more , its an 80s superhero that do not fits these days and DC has not find the way to do it. Marvel has the same situation with Captain America but they did a better job.

Suicide Command seems will have better luck, because it's the kind of movie people want to see these days.

Wait... huh?

 

[Glass Shark]

He's one of us.

It's much more likely he was paid to post that. It's very common for celebrities to do this kind of stuff. And he's not been shy about how much he loves money.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

I'm actually surprised Marvel didn't outright get full rights to spidey given the state sony was in.

They don't have any rights over Spidey, really. Sony still holds the film rights for Spidey but they realized it would be smart to let the Marvel folks basically run the show while they get a chance to make money off of the new MCU spidey instead of throwing their own turd versions of spidey films out there and hoping for the best.

Disney did get the merch rights back for spidey not too long ago, though, so they have an incentive to make spidey legit good on the big screen again, too.

As awful as Snyder looks, I like how he's staring at the graphic like it's mocking him.

Yahoo video interview torturing Cavil/Affleck over the bad reviews

People started petitions for him not be part of it, and now the same people probably feel bad for him, because he outacted everyone except for Irons, and probably would have done a better job writing or directing it.

 

[Garlador]

Ok after watching the cast interview post reviews.

Come the fuck on.

This isn't worse than Thor , Iron man 2 etc...

Sure it has lots of issues, but it's not that bad of a movie. I feel like it's being destroyed for representing something more than for its own qualities as entertaining flick.

It's gonna drop under 30% . It doesn't deserve this.

I'd rather watch Iron Man 2 and Thor a thousand times over than watch BvS again. No hyperbole.

At least Thor felt like Thor and Iron Man felt like Iron Man. I just watched two pretenders in Superman and Batman costumes tarnish the legacy of my two most favorite heroes of all time and utterly miss the point of what makes them great characters.

I'm tired of even being nice about it. I hate this movie. It deserves everything coming to it.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

if this needs salvaging they have to delay JL and retool it. Wonder Woman is likely going to be like thor or captain america 1. just the usual middle of the mall superhero movie. but with a woman this time which is nice.

Fuuuuck that..I'll stay my ass home. Can't stand either of those movies..

 

[Discotheque]

Fuuuuck that..I'll stay my ass home. Can't stand either of those movies..

support female action movies breh. no matter how meh they end up being.

Man, even the guys in Screenjunkies disliked the movie

Damn, Snyder is looking like Frank Miller from a couple of years ago.

 

[Nokterian]

Awkward from the first response.

Affleck looks dead inside.

"why did i do this again?"

Hearing from those reviews and some here that affleck is the best one in this movie. And i wonder why they didn't do a new batman movie instead with affleck.

 

[KOMANI]

support female action movies breh. no matter how meh they end up being.

But that's the dilemma we're in, isn't? We want to support things, because if we don't, they'll disappear into the abyss... But if they're terrible, we're sending the wrong message.

For the longest time, I've wanted to see someone make a major Superman film that is set in the 30's. It'd be a slightly more visual 30's with lots of Art Deco imagery (the Empire State and the Chrysler building is of that design, for instance.

You're asking me to pull my own teeth for the team right now. I don't even own those movies. No no no no. May WW PLEASE be lightyears better than those awful things. Ugh..

 

[Anton Sugar]

Forgive my ignorance: where did the idea of "let's rush to the JL movie and use BvS to set it up" come from? Is that someone at WB or Snyder?

 

[KOMANI]

Damn, Snyder is looking like Frank Miller from a couple of years ago.

Frank's looking better, by the way.

 

[Alebrije]

Wait... huh?

Suicide Squad, my mistake

And talking more about the antehero or dark hero that people like these days , like Batman. Superman has not evolved and including his villians on his recent movies.

So basically Superman set in the same time period as Batman TAS?

Definitely a Sky Captain flick or for a better quality movie reference, The Rocketeer.

This is in no way a shocker to anyone.

It tells you how bad he was looking that "Grampa Freddy Krueger" is an improvement.

Baz Luhrmann's Superman with music by Future.

Would watch the shit out of this.

lmao


This thread is the gift that keeps on giving and giving, until you don't want it anymore, and then it keeps on giving.

 

[Frustrated_me]

The latter seems the most plausible.

SNYDER fucked up Batman. It wasn't Affleck's to make him a fucking

Spoiler

murderer

.

I can't believe people are actually complaining about the bit in the spoiler tag. Like it's actually a thing people complain about.

Seriously? Seriously!?

 

[Graphics Horse]

Forgive my ignorance: where did the idea of "let's rush to the JL movie and use BvS to set it up" come from? Is that someone at WB or Snyder?

I don''t think Snyder has the power to greenlight that stuff. Something the execs would be pushing for.

Yea dude...it was scary. He's shaking a lot less now, and has gotten back some color in his face.

 

[Jigorath]

I guess Warner wanted to go the opposite of Marvel's approach and use a team-up movie to set up all the solo films. I don't have a problem with that approach in theory. Doesn't seem to be playing out well in execution.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

No, as in someone went into the ratings board for movies and grabbed it

Deadpool's test footage was only given to 3 or 4 people. That rating was basically accessible by anybody.

Thanks for the elaboration man, but I'll just stick to my scenario. It might have happened just as coincidentally as you described, but it's just as easy for someone inside WB to anonymously give someone a heads up on the info. The latter is funnier to me.

 

[Afro Samurai]

How much money will the BvS make?

I went on Fandango and reserved seats aren't filled out. 2/3rds to 90% of it are taken.

Doesn't seem as successful as Zootopia.

 

[KOMANI]

I know that. Might even be looking better than Snyder.

Not fair to compare, you have to wait after opening weekend to truly compare.

 

[CadetMahoney]

he looks like he needs a good nights sleep or 5/

Definitely a Sky Captain flick or for a better quality movie reference, The Rocketeer.

And, Cap 1, too. I loved those NYC scenes.

You're not even wrong here.

I remember when Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Elektra, and Catwoman all came out at nearly the same time and all bombed.

And my jaw dropped when a movie studio head then declared that "female-led action movies don't make money" and cancelled all female-led action vehicles and rejected all female-led movie pitches.

Because it was the women that were the problem... not the shoddy scripts, bad directors, or horrible studio decisions. Nope, blame the women.

 

[Herbs]

And, Cap 1, too. I loved those NYC scenes.

yeah, agreed. Those Fleischer cartoons are great too.

 

[Apathy]

As awful as Snyder looks, I like how he's staring at the graphic like it's mocking him.

Yeah cause director should be in quotes.

I'd dig that, too.

Somewhat related - one of several reasons I enjoyed Agent Carter so much.

And so long as we're going with What Ifs -- I wonder how this movie would have turned out if Snyder played it more like he did with Watchmen, and just adapted DKR and set the whole thing in the mid 80s? It'd run totally counter to Warner's DC movie plans, of course, but I bet the critical reception would have been a hell of a lot better, even with all of the same players on board.

I've experienced the exact opposite, the only acclaim I've seen for the show is in GAF... And of course friends' girlfriends,but they don't count cause they watch horrible shows like real housewives of basketball players or sumtin.

I am laugh cringing so hard right now.
