Is he related to Lex Luther?
Nah, clone.
Probably due to the fans reaction to MOS being better than the critical one. Interesting... relying on word of mouth for this movie.
Looking forward to the RT number, the more I think about it, the more my number has sunk from 75 to 70 just on the sole basis that we've had people watch Snyder movies, they are suddenly going to turn around and be like yes I was wrong about MOS, this is all amazing.

I didn't see it posted in this thread, but there were more screening impressions on the latest episode of Collider Heroes. Campea talked about someone who saw it and loved it, but was concerned this version of Batman might be too dark for general audiences. Robert Burnett talked about someone who was born to hate the movie and after bitching about the amount of CGI admitted the movie was good.

Edit: Burnett talks about his source at 38:40. They sorta go off on a tangent of it being too dark for a couple minutes.

It's basically an 18 hour (or longer depending if we have reactions coming out of Mexico/NY premieres on the weekend) head start on the critics. WB are sure this will play well with fans, hence the Monday night screenings in 100 IMAXes across the country and giving them that head start buzz-wise.
If you needed any further proof why WB are doing this:

Everyone's entitled to their opinion...but I'm not sure it's right for a professional critic to prejudge. Ah well.

If a professional review pre-judges a movie, they are a hack for a professional critic. It's completely dumb of someone to be oblivious to how confirmation bias works and it's the job of a critic to go into a movie as a blank slate. To let the movie form it's own opinion merited by the movie and ONLY the movie. Not some sort of preconceived bias you have set in from other movies you watch.
So dumb and pathetic.

Everybody pre judges a movie. If they have a recognizable filmography then it's already impossible not to set expectations before you go in
It's fine for a critic to say whatever as long as they are able to have their minds changed if they like something instead of saving face and being petty

I'm sticking to my 65% on RT. What about you guys?
98%

The percentage doesn't mean anything. A 95% for TFA could be 95% of critics gave it a 6 out of 10. I would much rather think about the average critics rating.

Awesome. So far I have not heard a negative reaction to this movie. Surely has got to end up better than MOS review wise right? I would think that is a pretty safe bet.

To provide proper context, she tweeted this right after:
Also, Joana is primarily a news writer/contributor. Not one of Vanity Fair's Primary Critics, although she does do reviews after Festival screenings and such. Her posting this is fine because she's almost certainly not going to be the one reviewing the film at VF.

I'm still sticking with the 75-85 on RT.

I have no idea so i'm gonna say 75 RT but with a not-surprising number complaining that things get destroyed and that accusing WB of flip flopping with spending so much time talking about MoS' destruction. Also probably say Doomsday is wasted rather than pointing out he's a literal plot device. I'm more interested to see what Gal's performance is like as Wonder Woman, feels like she could be the dark horse of the film.

I'd peg it at around a 75%, yeah.

I wanna say low 80s, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's in the 60s or 70s. I think it'll certainly be above MoS though.

I guess I'll stick around for a while longer, those pics you guys were talking about were kind of useless out of context and someone spoiled them for me anyways.
I'd like to think even if people don't care for the serious tone, they'll begrudgingly give it a positive review based on the quality of the film or at least what counts as fresh on Rotten tomatoes, like Faraci did for deadpool. Then that tweet above me reminds me that some critics are assholes.
I still think 80+%.

Lots of bloggers use twitter to post flame bait to amuse themselves and idiots fall for that.
I mean, you can't seriously think that she tweeted that and expected absolutely no replies.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
I'll go with 68%, which would be the second highest of Snyder's career.
Something else for the extended cut!

Could it be a Vic Stone scene? Maybe extended.
I read one of the impressions saying in this movie Snyder showed a lot of restraint, in terms of his normal directorial efforts. Last time he showed restraint we got DotD remake (a great remake btw).

Um, no, I don't? Which is why I posted that? I saw this happen on Twitter. I follow her.

Sorry but would it be possible to share the link for those impressions? Would love to read it.
Gotta love Cavill

78% right on the money.
He shouldn´t be this weird and be allowed to look that good.

Percentage won't matter at the end of the day because I've hated movies with 90+ ratings, and I've enjoyed movies in the sub 50s... I wish for DC to have success because I want to see this Justice League thing off to a thunderous start.
I'm looking at around 70-75 and I'll be happy. It's a downer to have to wage through some of those MOS threads, or hell even the BvS threads.
Gawd damnit
