I find it funny that some people are depending on a score to make them decide whether they should watch this. Not actually reading any reviews but just a number.

Funny enough if you remove the word origin from that consensus and replace Daredevil with Batman v Superman, it seems to be what most are saying about this movie.Thought I check to see if it was over DD...
He should hold on to that OT if I were him.
Nothing good will come out of posting it.
We should just use this.
Need the OT and spoiler OT up.
Welcome to how a lot of gaming side reacts to things.
Anything below 8? not worth playing.

I don't see the point in not posting the OT. Without an OT there will just be 5 different threads discussing the same thing anyways.

I switched to an alt account to ditch my embarrassing tag so I could be an embarrassing Naughty Dog fanboy in peace. Ask me anything!
I am convinced Justice League will be cancelled or delayed but I dont know what WB can do right now. Do they go back to Nolan? I dont think Nolan can direct anyone apart from Batman and is probably not interested to go back to Super hero movies.
I am just fascinated by what they can possibly do now. Can any of these actors be used at all in the future movies? A long road ahead and I think WB will see significant changes to the management team after this disastrous reception.
No you cannot have a movie containing two of the most iconic heroes and have it be this badly received.

Yup... it's only a matter of time before the spoilers start leaking over here... see you guys on the other side.
Are critics doing that?

Hrmmm I think it's a bit early to call that. 25 reviews and no idea of a box office reception. I don't think they'll take him off JL, unless they push the whole thing back to like 2018. I wouldn't be surprised if JL is more light hearted, Terrio already said they were going in that direction. They might restructure the slate, shift up Flash or Shazam to get more light hearted movies in.

Yeah, dont go on twitter
George Miller.
Faraci it seems is one that has been doing that.
With Tom Hardy returning as Bane.
Trust me, I'm not going onto Twitter for a while. Not until I've seen the movie.
Yeah, Faraci spoiled a few things for me in his tweets, one of which is major and without context. He was answering someone's question.

lol Come on nothing is getting cancelled. Snyder's movies have always been divisive with the critics and WB is knee deep in his DC movie universe how you going to pull the plug on all that?
Never gonna happen.

I just hope the OT subtitle isn't going to be a play on the reviews. Make it centered around Wonder Woman or something.

Either him or Batfleck. Seeing how ballsy they are I wouldn't put it past them to get some writers/directors from the animated stuff to lead the way.
He hint at his feelings for it?
Dude, take breath. This thing is gonna open somewhere around 200 million. Nothing is getting canceled.

Yeah, I understand. it just isn't in tune with your sensitivities.I'll have to wait until I see it to see if the critics are right or wrong. Snyder has many critics but I prefer a director with ambitions and vision instead of those that make by the numbers movie. Now, that doesn't mean he doesn't shit the bed because even in movies in which he tries to tackle themes that are more than skin deep he doesn't always succeeds like sucker punch, but that's part of taking risks, you are bound to fail sometimes and that's OK to me cause it's preferably to all these director's that aren't taking any. At least not with a budget like that.
So, even though I see why people have apprehension to Snyder I see it as a feature instead of a flaw, but I'm not a WB executive so I don't have much skin in the game besides my tickets but that's more than any pompous critic will have.
Like critics trashed 2001, and have elevated mediocre dross to great heights but what happens when they're are wrong about their "opinions"? Nothing, they have nothing to lose besides their egos and that's why they're unfit in my opinion.
Yes I believe opinions can be wrong, event my own

The majority of the press, local, aren't seeing it until tonight though.
It starts filming in a couple of days BvS will likely make big money there's no way it's getting cancelled, they can delay it and get another director though, but i think that won't happen either

In the short term, nothing is happening unless it implodes at the box office over the next two weeks. JL production will go on as scheduled, Snyder will probably be on a tighter leash, and there will be some on the fly adjustments for JL to try to address BvS complaints.
However, I think there is probably some serious movement happening on stuff down the road though. I wouldn't be surprised if shit like the solo Cyborg movie just got tossed in the "wait and see" pile along with some other planned films.

Frosty from Collider didn't even give his opinion on the film, just said Batman and WW kicked ass and to avoid spoilers and see it in IMAX.
I'm now the top poster in this thread.
How can you tell?
I think Angry Joe just doesn't want to say anything until it's officially released on Friday.

Probably, I imagine he doesnt want to spoil it cause he isnt an arsehole

I am not sure how much George Miller knows about DC comics? I know he came close to directing one but I read somewhere that it was wildly different from how these characters are perceived
If they do not pull the plug than the brand is done for. This is not same situation as Transformers. You have a bunch of films that are dependent on each other. Having a Batman Superman movie suck is going to make people less likely to see a Flash movie or a Cyborg movie. Saying BVS earned 800 million is not going to diminish the consequences of its poor critical reception.
Not to mention poor wom, stigma and ridicule in the online channels for the next few years etc.. This is a huge problem for DC and there is going to be some serious repercussions to this reception. There is no way they get Snyder back. He may continue in a producer's role but that is about it. I feel sorry for the guy because he clearly loves comics and is a nice person but unfortunately I do not see this going any other way.

I got the impression Frosty was caught off-guard by the embargo time. Right before 6pm EDT, he tweeted "Wait, it ends at 3pm PST?" or something like that.

WTH was WB thinking with this botched as hell embargo?
