This makes me want to avatar-quote myself.
If it was my 5 year old, I wouldn't take him to see this movie. I feel it'd be a bit too violent and tonally inappropriate. Around 8 and above, then I don't see much of an issue at all, but 5 year olds are still a bit too young. That's mostly because of Batman, and some of the violence. There are a few scenes, when taken in context of the entire movie being pretty heavy, that could make a kid that young feel uncomfortable. It does also have many things a kid would like. In general, I wouldn't recommend it though.
You know your kid best. What kind of movies has he seen at that age?

On a scale of 1 to 10
how great is the Luthor going bald scene?
#notmysuperman
Red Kryptonite ?
He's seen many pg13s but everyone is different. Thanks for the reply.
WTH does that mean? Did he say the same about Nolan's trilogy?
That's how it starts, the fever, the sexual tension..
Btw China premiere is tomorrow.
Affleck looks super thin and young here.
Welp, there is still a lot of negativity surrounding this movie (mostly Superman).
On non-comic boards or just general entertainment boards most people are saying the same crap (looks stuid, too serious and dark, Superman is boring, Marvel is better etc...)
Even if this movie does well, I doubt it will change the general perception.

Shot in the dark, Affleck won't go shirtless in JL. Once he's established Bruce's physique in BvS, let the muscle layer of the suit do the work. My preference is a slimmer Bats than what we've seen in BvS.
Unfortunately for a lot of people comic books "are for children", like it was with videogames until a couple of years. Of course those are people that have never read one.
If BvS does well and SS lives up to the hype things will begin to change. There aren't that many hardcore Marvel fans out there.
this isn't MOS 2 so it's not Superman's movie

that's a good thing.
meh. most people liked MoS anyway.
comic or movie wise?
that perception hardly effected the commercial and critical success of the dark knight trilogy
the haters are just a vocal minority. going by GAF you'd think dark knight rises was worse than transformers 2
also, anecdotal, my group of friends are super excited for BvS, and these are the same people who walked away from Man of Steel disappointed.
It would beat Avatar at the box office.
I just thought that after 3 years and after all these trailers (especially Batman looking like the one we've deserved all along)...now that we are days away from the movie people are still saying the same crap.
Pretty disappointed.
But he would do the Aquaman origin in the most generic way possible.
"Lost wanderer looking for a home finds Atlantis, meets beautiful girl named Mera, has to take down the evil ruler Orm"
What does that sound like...no thanks.

"People" is, in this case, one person.
Eh
People will hold that opinion until the movie either proves them right or wrong.
It's like wearing rose-color glasses, everything will look that shade until you take it off.

You ever discussed with someone about something, and at one point, you know the other guy is wrong, factually wrong and you think to yourself, is this guy stupid or just too proud to admit he was wrong.
That will be the case here too.

Jeff Sneider mentioned someone not liking BvS because ,tonally, it was "a DC WB movie".
You know what Ben Affleck's nickname is going to be once people have seen BvS? Not Buttman. Not Fatman. Not Fatfleck. Not Batfleck. But Beastman.
Because that's what he is. He's a goddamn monster. While I still like Christian Bale best as the definitive Batman, I can see this new Batman taking that title once he gets his own movies, and we start really exploring his character. There is a lot of potential there.
And when Batman is down and out in Justice League, but starts mounting that comeback, I want Perry to be there so he can say the words, "He's beginning to balee."
Edit:
You know what else was a DC Warner Bros. movie?
Catwoman.
Uh oh.

Can't recall which recent article has it. In response to a Deadpool question, Snyder mentions a talk he had with Nolan. Nolan told him Watchmen was made too soon; that audiences weren't prepped for it. Not an original sentiment but he's right.
Batman v Superman falls somewhere between Catwoman or Jonah Hex and The Dark Knight.

I know. How strange. What did he expect going in, a GotG type film?
Of all of Snyder's film, Watchmen is the one that has aged surprisingly well. I can't watch 300 anymore, and I liked it back when I watched it on theaters. Watchmen, though... Specially the DC.
Everything has to be Marvel. Then in a few years when the lightearted style is out of fashion, deconstructed, or more probably, abandoned even by Marvel (Which seems to be getting darker with each main iteration) suddenly WB movies will become cult and be lauded as the "underrrated gems" of the genre years from now.

Man, I was watching some reviews of the BvS merch on YouTube and came across this video of a guy who got the 31" Jakks Pacific Batman figure, that retails for around $30, and customized it to look more screen accurate with some shoe polish, model paint and a new cap and the final result blew my mind! lol
So not sure if you guys have seen it but here it is:

What kind of hack writer will say "I really do think that it's one whole Saga through to Justice League" in one breath, and then say "I wont necessarily write Justice League Part Two" in another? Lol.
"Oh man this thing is one huge story I want to tell. I'm so committed!"
"But maybe I'm not committed enough to see it through to the final movie!"

He meant through JL1. MoS through JL1 is a trilogy to him. BvS he compared to Empire Strikes Back bc of their dark nature.
An Oscar winning hack writer! He clearly says he sees MoS, BvS, and JLp1 as a trilogy.
So JL1 and JL2 are not continuations of the same movie? JL2 is a sequel forced on by the studio without any interest from the writer?! I see...
1- JL2 is not the final movie, GL and Flash come later. It's not "Part 2", it's just 2.
2- He has a vision, we should respect that
3- It's easier for him to write a good coherent trilogy than a good septology
It's not forced, it's a team up in another arc, like Age of Ultron or whatever, Terrio is not the only writer on the DCU, you could say Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and the others are forced sequels too.
Calling the most talented guy on board, with has shown more respect to the material than any other writer in the medium, a hack writer, is unfair and nonsensical. Just say you don't like the WB way and call it a day.

Terrio confuses audiences. DCEU is doomed.
It may be too smart for the general audience. I'm really worried.
Well that's not true
The best type of CBM movie is the Donner-style
Superman 1/2, Spider-man 1/2... lesser extent The Flash and Supergirl TV series
I watched the Donner Superman 2 recently. What a masterpiece.
The Dark Knight remains unbothered though.
It is? Do we know this? If that's the case why is it called Justice League Part One and Justice League Part Two? When it was announced they clearly said that Batman v Superman was going to lead into a "two part Justice League movie" also directed by Snyder. Are you just assuming this because it would make what Terrio said sound less like he's thinking of bailing out after half a film?
It's true. Intellect is certainly measured by using big words in interviews and name dropping famous writers.
They changed the titles months ago. They didn't have Terrio on board when they announced the film.
Edit: I'm trying to find the source but I can't find it, I can swear I read that once, with some WB guy telling the reporter not to call JL part two anymore, yet the EW article has it called like that. It's weird.
I'm guessing CA? Lie Max is so laughably bad. I hate that. Definitely go to a real one. I'm going to the Universal City one myself. It's the only one with the movie with the full IMAX aspect ratio scenes that take up the whole screen
And it's 2D, just how I like it.

Quick, someone get Nolan to re-write the script. We need some exposition!
They dropped the Part One/Two subtitles recently.
