I willingly read all the spoilers.
Just like I did for TFA.

Fucking knew someone would get the review in before the embargo. Question is - does this start a wave or will this be fairly isolated?

Very cool and informative book. Covers everything and has plenty of details. I haven't peeked at the art book yet though...
Also..
Not that it matters, but the same thing that happened to MOS is occurring:
https://help.mgo.com/hc/en-us/articles/201917818-What-do-the-Rotten-Tomatoes-scores-mean-
The review scores it 6 out of 10 which is Fresh for RT, but RT marks it as Rotten. If you go through MOS's reviews you'll find over a dozen reviews over 60% but which got marked Rotten... conversely, you can find reviews 59% or below which somehow got marked Fresh for other films.

Doesn't the reviewer themselves select Fresh/Rotten when they submit it?
There's not some grand conspiracy here Davey.
What kind of ass backwards system is that?
Tin foils.

I looked it up, they both pull reviews on their own and allow approved critics to submit their reviews.
I don't see how that's ass backwards though, unless it's also ass backwards for a critic to choose their own star rating at the end of the review.

Well, I mean, maybe not a grand conspiracy, but there is that whole twitter bot weirdness. So there is a conspiracy.

Read the review. He mentions Marvel atleast 5 times in that review how Warner Bros trying to catch up.
I mean, then the star rating is kind of pointless, isn't it? Just use fresh/rotten and the review to let readers know if the film is worth seeing.
Yea, it's an awful review. And not in the "I'm excited for this so this review is dumb" way. In a "this is a terribly written review that is playing up a war that doesn't exist" way.
Not yet.

God damn lol. YouTube does not want this to fly lol
Just wanted to chime in once more about my comments about the pacing at the beginning. I don't think it dragged on, but there was a lot to catch the viewer up on and set the pieces for the rest of the movie so they took their time showing you. I didn't mind it, especially since the movie is 2.5 hours long. Like others have said, I can see that being "boring" to some people who just want to get to all the action, but without it, I'd feel the movie would suffer from it. Can't wait to see the last 30 minutes on Thursday and another 30 on the Blu Ray, haha.

Rottentomatoes exists to aggregate opinions, not to create a standard for film criticism. I would be really disgusted if film critics started changing the way they did reviews solely for RT.

Had to be back. When is the embargo dropping ?
The first review is a fucking clickbait review. 6/10. Yeah, why not 5/10 Marvels.

Embargo ends at 6pm EST.

Six hours then. Hm, will be asleep by then.
Fuck this serious bias against Zack. I hope it does well in BO. I couldn't give a fuck about the review scores, but I want it to make good money so I can have more.
What matters most is that YOU enjoy the movie.
I can understand why people put stock in reviews. Maybe you're tight on money or time or both and it's hard to give those things up for just a movie. I get that. Reviews in that sense can really matter. But if you don't fall into those camps then I find a reliance on reviews to be pretty damn silly.
I really like these guys. I just watched this a bit ago. All 3 liked it but seem to be overwhelmed and aren't really sure what their final thoughts are at this point. All agreed they need to see it a couple more times to really say.

I do that. I won't watch a movie when it has a score under 5/10 on imdb and so on. And it's not a money issue tbh.

I don't think bad reviews have ever put me off seeing a movie I'm interested in. No review would put me off watching this for example. On the other hand, good reviews have inspired me to go and watch something I wasn't going to see originally.

I kinda want the RT score to be 50%, that would be just perfect.
Who gives a fuck, I know I'll enjoy it. 29 hours and 50 minutes, but who's counting.

With all the pain in my heart, even if I end up liking the movie, because it's a good movie anyway, if it's critically panned I'd confidently campaign against Zack in the director role from now on. Keep Larry Fong if you want, but if Zack botches a praised script maybe he's just not the one, and tbh, I don't want to defend DC anymore.
Did I mention conspiracy? It's an inconsistency where the critics aren't following RT criteria when entering in their ratings. Essentially a curve or penalty where they require serious superhero films to break 70% before they'll mark it Fresh even though RT criteria (AND THEIR OWN REVIEW) puts it at 60%.
Haha, that's not really a high bar. A movie would have to be unbelievably godawful to score under 5/10 on IMDB of all places. For reference, Green Lantern scored a 5.6 on IMDB. Guess that one's really worth a watch!
See I can't relate to that at all. I couldn't possibly tell you how many badly reviewed movies I've watched that I really liked. And the notion that I would have missed some of those experiences because I cared about the over/under on a review score just doesn't sit well with me.
Lol, why are you even doing that now? Just enjoy what you enjoy and stop giving a shit what other people think. All you're doing now is causing quite possibly the most pointless stress in the world.

And fuck people that randomly drop spoilers in the prediction thread. Fuck.
It's about Batman from the spanish review.
Seriously pissed at that.
If the WoM is really bad I won't watch it either. I watched the first 10 minutes of GL and then stopped, because it's simply a waste of time.
With Man of Steel, which has mediocre scores, I very much enjoyed it. So it's a case by case decision.

So uhh..where the hell is the OT?
Flipping through the Tech Manual...I'm convinced Rocksteady must of had some insight in the design and production of the film because for their Batcave and Batmobile..minor spoilers for the cave..
Could be a coincidence of course but still pretty cool

the Batmobile in BvS exits out of the cave via a ramp and door in the lake on the Manor grounds so there's no trail or trace of it...similar to how you see it in the reveal CG trailer for Arkham Knight.
they do that in the early impression thread too.

I don't really look at reviews. If I'm interested, I'll watch it. My opinion on movies/games/shows are the only ones that matter to me in the end. There's a lot of stuff I love that most people don't seem to....and if I listened to others, I'd have missed out.

I stayed away from that thread. Haven't watched the Gotham trailer either.
Who knows. I'm surprised it's being put up so late. What with the premiers happening and so many members having seen it already.
It comes when the embargo is up
It really shouldn't be put up until Friday, before most people actually get to watch it. Because I already know what the thread is going to be like when it's put up today. Over sensitive DC fanboys attacking critics and their personal lives over negative review scores. Over zealous Marvel fanboys salivating at every negative review and baiting those DC fanboys (who will take the bait). Spoilers casually dropped. Arguments over destruction and neck snappings. And normal posters, with normal discussions, being overshadowed by all the noise.
And let's be honest, most of the discussions that would have taken place in the OT are already taking place in four separate threads.
