Honestly, I'm a Nolan fan, but having him out of there is probably a good thing. Man of Steel's weakest aspects were when it felt like a rip-off of Batman Begins.

I want to believe, but...early screenings... ;_;

Very wise, my friend.

Superhero films are constantly overrated to a ludicrous degree by these early fan 'reviews'.

The worst being the early fan review of the first Captain America film that stated that the relationship between Cap and Carter was one of the best love stories ever committed to film.

I hope whoever wrote that is hanging their head in shame now.

I'm the complete opposite.

Snyder just isn't good at exposition and character growth, that's why the first half of the film was just weird and unbalanced to me.

The film didn't take off until Zod.

Wonder Woman trailer before Suicide Squad or after ? Isn't the filming already done ?

Filming goes until beyond may (which is funny because JL starts shooting in april, having her play the same character in two different films at the same time). But a trailer is probably coming at Comic Con, with a public premiere in Suicide Squad

I just want the cam footage of the WW trailer at Comic Con. I love those, the audience reactions are the best.

I think WB has learned there lesson to just release the footage.

Yeah WW will get some teaser footage at least. We've entered an age where they can start the hype train super early. We got squad trailer (though it was "leaked") more than a year early.

They probably won't have much cgi finished by the time SDCC rolls around though. JL will barely have anything but I'm hoping for some concept art.

I have to say I'm a little surprised we don't have more Civil War and Dr. Strange footage. I feel like only having one month to market Civil War is odd, maybe it's because I'm not as interested in it as I am in BvS.

I look forward to seeing two awesome movies within a period of 40 days, and then seeing Squad & Strange only a few more months away. Wish we had a third dc movie slotted for march next year but w/e.

Civil War will pick up right around the time of BvS's release. There's no point having their marketing going 100% while Batman V Superman hype is at an all time high. It's similar to not hearing anything except a trailer for BvS when Star Wars was in full force.

This summer is going to be fantastic. Hell this entire year should be great. There's no movie I'm looking forward to more than BvS but SS is damn close and my excitement for Civil War is way up there too. Roque One, Strange, and XMen are just icing on the cake. I may even go see WoW if it gets decent WOM.

Considering how big is BvS, I have no doubt that both Marvel and Fox decided to wait before starting to promote their movies, at least after BvS hits cinemas.

I'm sure that in the very first days of april, they're gonna start pumping the hype machine with those 2 films. If you think about it, in a time span no much longer than one month we're gonna get this three movies. And then Suicida Squad. Oh lawd hold me.

So, I was just making some food. Phone in the other room. Deciding to check Twitter, the tickets were available! Freaked the fuck out, almost dropped my phone. Try to order them, error.

Opened up my laptop, got 4 tickets. 2 for the midnight release, and 2 for the Sunday after. So fucking pumped, bring it! All great seats too.

Haven't seen the first one yet. How is it?

I've got to say that from those videogame movies, the only one I'm a little insterested in is Assassin's Creed, and only because of Fassbender.

Rotterdam, Schouwburgplein. They posted it on Twitter and there they were. Should be the same in other countries that have Pathé.

I'm sure it will be fine but I still think it's pretty bad market strategy. BvS is atleast going to dominate mind share for the first two weeks of april, and that leaves less than 2 weeks for the April 29th release date. Attaching a civil war trailer to BvS would make a lot of sense and I expect it at this point.

I don't think it's reaching the hype levels an avenger film usually gets, but tbf it is marketed as a Cap film with a lot of cameos.

lmao, for whatever reason I thought July or June or something. I'll end up seeing both. People hating on it, but at least Singer is consistent and established as an X-men director. I'm happy to see nightcrawler again, was super disappointed he wasn't in x3.

I can go to Amsterdam Arena but that's like a 40 minute drive + parking.

Someone convince me IMAX is worth it.
Click to expand...

3D kinda sucks, but the screen and audio are just so much better than the regular versions. For a movie like this, I think it's worth it. Parking in Amsterdam is a pain in the ass tho.

40 minutes to Amsterdam? Sounds to me there is probably a Pathé closer to you than that.

I enjoy it for the most part

Like you can tell at one point the villain was a single character that they switched after filming

And loathe Turtles design, but some good action
