I've never seen an overall bad reaction to an early screening of a movie via Tweets. Not once. Every single one is always positive because those people get free tickets to an exclusive show.

In Verendus we trust.

Quick story about a guy at my gym who knows I'm amped to see this and he hated MoS. He's been telling me for months how it is going to be terrible. Today he tells me he saw the recent trailer with WW jumping into battle and now he's going in with an open mind. Dat Wonder Woman power!

Plus their hype is usually at max levels. For a lot of people the worst time to ask them for an objective opinion on a film they've really been looking forward to is right after they just got done watching it for the first time. If folks had asked me what I thought about The Desolation of Smaug right after I'd left the theater I would have raved about how much better it was than An Unexpected Journey (like all of the initial Twitter impressions said it was). But after subsequent viewings and allowing for time to pass I came to dislike a good portion of it and think it's the worst of The Hobbit films and I love An Unexpected Journey.

I've been burned too many times by knee-jerk glowing Twitter reviews for nerd movies to allow them to get me hyped up anymore. Although for me the real test will be when Warcraft comes around in June.

serious, you can't understate the iconography that both Fong and Snyder have created in their films together. Very happy he's back

heh, this is not me at all. I came out of Man of Steel PISSED at how bad it was. I was so hyped :(

An early free screening of a much anticipated blockbuster, though? I've never been in that situation, but I can't imagine negative impressions coming out of such an event.

my opinion of MoS hasn't changed since day one. it was an 8 out 10 since day one and in subsequent viewings the film still works for me plot wise, characters, etc. that film got Superman in the modern age right. if it's even better than MoS then I'm going to be very giddy.

Yep, same here. MoS for me is easily in the upper echelon of superhero movies.

Final Fantasy XIV is making this wait so much easier. Already got Ninja to lv50 and currently leveling a Paladin (on lv40 currently) while I wait for the expansion to arrive (bought it today). I can turn my brain off for awhile and just get soaked on the game completely.

Not even getting anxious to watch the movie or anything, I'm pretty damn cool about the film. Waited 3 years for this movie, a couple of weeks more is nothing.

I take all the reviews with a giant grain of salt, the quality of the movie cannot be deciphered from a couple tweets but not going to lie, my hype levels are off the charts. It's surreal to think we're so close to the release date. Also, on another note I'm really hoping to get a Suicide Squad trailer. I've replayed it an absurd amount of times on youtube but I'm still dying to experience it on the big screen.

I love, love, love this film. Just so beautifully shot, and I actually now appreciate the flash-backs. But the considered, careful tone of the film in the first half just brings the character to life for me.

Until Zod arrives. It falls apart.
And then I read the impressions above and see this...

Closer to Watchmen. MOS didn't feel Snyder-esque becasue it had that first 2 act Nolan influence for me. It was Snyder in the 3rd act.

I got through the first three! They're not bad, the trick is most of the puzzles are mostly done, so not many moves are needed.
Click to expand...

the only one that got me stumped (once I got the trick down) was the numbers one. That one was confusing. the circuitry one was stupid easy hahaha.

willing to bet they'll get way harder as you go along.

The numbers one isn't hard. You just gotta get all of the adjacent numbers to equal 5. It's not matching stuff like the other ones.

My hype for this movie has got me hitting up the toy aisle to decorate my desk every time I go to target. I got the metal die cast armored Batman but I don't like how big the eyes are on the regular Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman ones.The mattell Aquaman and Wonder Woman figures just don't look good and every Batman and Superman action figure I've looked at has had some imperfection in the paint that would drive my ocd ass crazy.

I guess Armor Bats will have to do... For now.

Here's my first impressions of the movie. There's a bit of spoiler here and there.
First off, the screening itself was packed. I mean packed. I thought Star Wars was nuts, this took this to the next level. At least the NDAs weren't as bad. Just to expand on that a bit, the way Disney handled TFA's secrecy, which I'm sure fans approved of, was a nightmare to deal with honestly. Really cool to see so many people out to see Batman and Superman in a live action movie on big screen.
I went in with a mix of hype/anticipation and a bit of dread . I loved Watchmen, while I thought MoS was enjoyable it was a mess in the last half.
BvS is pretty dark, but there's humor here and there, way more then say MoS or Watchmen.
Click to expand...

Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman was pure awesome and dark. You can see he's traumatized by the events in the past, and he has some fantastic lines in general (Yes we see the whole parents thing again). Nobody should really be surprised that he was good with the role considering he's a solid actor, but I thought he was great. Versus Bale? That's a interesting question, because Affleck definitely regards Batman as a permanent part of his persona, while in Nolan series he eventually doesn't want Batman. In combat he's pretty much everything everyone would hope for from a film with Batman. One comment on the latest BvS trailer said he fought like the Arkham video games from a scene they showed. That's a good comparison. He's incredible in fights. Also the way Snyder records him in action, you can actually see him fighting unlike the Nolan films, which I'd imagine would make many people happy. He also gets a chance to use his detective skills, do not worry.
Also his relationship with Irons, who plays Alfred, is just wonderful in general. Irons was exceptional in the role (Its Jeremy Irons for christ's sake, of course he nailed the role) gets some witty lines and also gets pretty emotional later on. He didn't get a lot of screentime, just enough to be effective. Always passing advice to Batman.
Click to expand...
Now we turn to Cavill. He didn't blow me away in MoS but in this film, weirdly I feel like he gets more to work with even with less screentime. It was the first time Superman actually feels like he's a character who deals with many issues to me. The blowback from the destruction in the last movie follows him in BvS, and everywhere he goes. He's now followed by cults, and plagued by newspapers and hearings (though the hearings are influenced by Luthor, we'll get to him in a bit). His relationship with Lois (played by Amy Adams) deserves mention here, even if not a lot of screentime. Definitely a time when Superman wishes he wasn't an alien and I felt a bit of sympathy for both of them.
Cavil and his interactions with Affleck, especially the fights, are truly something to behold. Definitely worth the price of a ticket in my opinion. I could swear some of the scenes are probably something straight out of a dark graphic novel. Their alternative personas do meet, helped along by Luthor as well.
Who got more screentime? Batman or Superman? I'd say it was about equal, but it certainly did feel like Batman might have gotten slightly bit more, but who knows. I didn't bring a stop watch with me.
Eisenberg chosen as Luthor was perfect honestly to me. I know there's a ton of concern over it, but he made it work. He's also hilarious with a dark sort of humor, but he's a very scary person in general. Obviously, he never lets his scary persona show in the public, and he basically used their duels as a distraction.
Click to expand...
There's a couple of events that the trailers haven't showed or even hinted at, and I'm not inclined to spoil that.
Also, Wonder Woman, hell yes. Again, lots of concern about Gadot on the internet and in the industry (I heard a lot), but she did well. Her fight with Doomsday is great. For such little screentime, she was able to show that her character was diverse and interesting. Definitely left me looking forward to the Wonder Woman movie. She gets pissed off don't worry heh.
Goffe, :eek:hmyzod:'s dead body got maybe 20 seconds of screentime, unless you count Doomsday. ;)
Fishburne, Lane, and Hunter were okay, but I think the main problem was they didn't get enough to do, so I felt nothing about them.
Yeah, the Doomsday fight. The trinity do get a few shots of them looking badass together. If you love comic book films, again, go see this film for the fight scenes.
How's the world in the movies? Gotham City is definitely Gotham City. Obviously you don't see it for the whole film. Metropolis is still littered with destruction from MoS, so I'm glad they showed that instead of ignoring it. Whether the whole destruction angle felt thrown in at the last minute, I wouldn't know because it felt organic for Wayne to be pissed about it. Even gave you a 9/11 vibe.
Oh man, the soundtrack is absolutely wonderful. Properly dark. Batman's theme especially felt super super super super dark almost to the point of repetition. MoS's theme is still there for Superman with a hint of more. Even Luthor had his own freaking soundtrack. A hint of playfulness and amusement. This part I thoroughly enjoyed. The sound design here is just fantastic, but will be mostly ignored
Click to expand...
Lots of CGI destruction porn there, but definitely feels sort of toned down till the last act. The visuals are great overall for me, but this is rather opinion based.
I feel that Snyder did learn from his mistakes and the writing/dialogue definitely feels a lot better then MoS. There are issues though (I'll address these in a different post). Juggling the characters is extremely difficult, especially for a film like this. I'm rather amazed Snyder even handled it alright. The film gets very frantic (especially towards the end), so to me the long running time flew by really quickly, but there's a few scenes they lets you breath.
Definitely somewhere above a B+. I'll settle on a final grade in a bit. Gave me pure joy to see the trinity on screen.
I'll write more, but these are basically my thoughts.
