This movie is becoming an event, something historic, for all the wrong reasons...

I feel like playing "My Heart Will Go On"....

Yeah, I really feel for WB/DC here. The practically scathing reviews, people enjoying said reviews, and all are hitting me. I'm seeing it tomorrow and I'm still skeptic on the things I was always skeptic about with this but even when the positive reviews can't help but point out the same negatives (editing, pacing, plot, Lex, etc.), I can't help but feel bad. They have so much riding on this film and to see it get the reaction it is getting must be rough and it hasn't even had its opening weekend.

So what's the deal with this movie's crew and cast praising Chris Terrio's screenplay? Nobody said shit about how visionary Snyder was or any bullshit of that sort. All the praise was always for Terrio's script, consistently and constantly, by nearly every cast member.

The plot in this movie is asssssssssss.

I guess Terrio wasn't able to unfuck the Goyer out of it in the end.
 
I can't see this movie not making a ton of money, by the way. It's all about the critics now, but soon its going to be all about the box office. The hype for this movie can't be deflated that easily. It's going to go all over the world and make a lot of money everywhere right out of the gate.

At least deadline gives it a positive review:

Yeah, I read that "review". More like an industry piece at how "cool" it is. Deadline has been completely ignoring the issue or the bad reviews it's been getting, and the pro Batman V Superman articles about how much money it will make are, most likely, very controled by WB or massaged by the studio, at least. They can't keep ignoring the elephant in the room for much longer.

It's going to reach Green Lantern lows, isn't it?

I swear I remember reading a couple posts (hell I might have made one or two) that dismissed this exact scenario almost completely out of hand.

Something along the lines of "There is no way, with this much attention on this thing, this much pressure applied, this much money on the line, and this much at stake, that anyone in charge could allow a clusterfuck of that level to play out untouched again."

There's a real chance Zootopia crawls from 2 to 1. Nothing else ahead til jungle book.

If BVS drops hard, and Zootopia keeps legging out the way it is, they'll cross a few weeks down the road when they're both in the teens per weekend. This would need to have a collapse of historic proportions to do so in week 2, which despite the reviews is not happening.

I have seen this movie.

This movie is bad.

This movie is really bad.

This movie is bad and should feel bad.

This movie is Suckerpunch levels of Snyder-bad.

I have no interest in watching ANYTHING ELSE touched by nuclear-grade toxic hands of Zack Snyder. WB needs to stop this man and re-engineer ALL of their plans for this franchise. I predict that this movie will have no legs. No legs of any sort. The first 90 minutes are composed of complete dead air with nothing even remotely entertaining happening. Dull as a motherfucker. The "plot" is just Snyder and company scrambling for reasons to make Superman and Batman fight.

Then they fight.

This movie has taught me that I'm actually not interesting in watching something like that.

Welp.

I thought Mahvel might be the one that drives the genre into the ground, but DC might actually kill the whole freaking thing in one single blow.

Go read or watch (the animated) The Dark Knight Returns. And be amazed by how awesome batman vs superman can be.

Oh it will be historic. It already made history in GAF.

Warner Bros. just need to hire the right people.

I don't know of anyone other than Snyder, and maybe his wife, who thinks he's one of those right people.

Zootopia in its 4th week overtaking BvS in its 2nd would be a clusterfuck on such an epic scale the WB lot might simply break in half from the wrath of god

WB would probably fast-track a snuff film of Snyder's private execution to add to DCPs of BvS to help the legs if it got that bad.
 
Why does this movie have to be a follow up to MoS at all? There is no need for a plot that "sets up" superman, everyone knows who the fuck superman is. The movie apparently even agrees, because there is no batman introduction movie preceding this. You're just supposed to know who batman is. Why bolt itself onto the framework of Man of Steel? The entire movie is just a way for them to get the two biggest DC properties to fight, why not go with something better as a backdrop?

Fuck I hate man of steel.
 
GREEN LANTERN

OVERALL: 26%, 4.2 average rating, 226 reviews, 167 rotten.
TOP CRITICS: 19%, 4.2 average rating, 43 reviews, 35 rotten.

BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

OVERALL: 31%, 5.1 average rating, 185 reviews, 127 rotten.
TOP CRITICS: 27%, 4.9 average rating, 45 reviews, 33 rotten

It won't kick Green Lantern off the shitter, but it'll probably take position playing peek-a-mouse at the right-hand urinal.

It has to be because WB wants to emulate Marvel's success.

They failed.
 
I really want to know more about the production of the movie.
In the early stages, there were statements like Kryptonit is to cartoony for this universe, Wonder Woman is a kryptonian and the footbal match that is Clark is supposed to cover was filmed and everything.
Seems like they went a 180 right in production after they noticed that people love Marvel movies for not beeing afraid staying close to really cartoony elements of the source material.
I really guess thats where all the troubles happened what resulted in those problems.

Snyder took a lot of flak for spoilers having Superman kill someone and decimate Metropolis. I think he used this movie as a way to rationalize his actions in MoS like some kind of response to hardcore fans.
