We get it.
Then you'll hate it. Snyder isn't going to change. He's too old for that. BvS also looks more like a Snyder film than MoS ever did.
Most of Man of Steels problems are from Goyer but nope still gotta hate Snyder for no reason
I didn't even know people had a problem with Snyder until I started following Man of Steel's production, lol.

Snyder is, to the best of my knowledge, a collaborator. He's a visuals-first director, he's very hands on about that (and he's really quite good at it), but with everything else he first and foremost works with the rest of the team. I suspect that Affleck's influence on set is going to make itself felt.
Plus, you know, new writer. Makes a lot of MoS's issue vanish (or at least change into new, different issues, depending on script quality) just like that.
So... maybe you'll like it?

If you don't like Snyder, you're not gonna like this film. Its .... just common sense.

Gotta pound it in, just in case you didn't. I'd be surprised if no one's already made their own "list".

I'm personally fine with a humorless superhero movie. Daredevil is a humorless superhero TV show, and I think it's one of its strengths. Batman v Superman isn't going to be anywhere near that dark though. I don't think we'll see someone's head get smashed in.
That's worldwide, which is great but not unexpected either. $340M WW opening weekend would make it tied with Breaking Dawn pt 2 at #13 on the all time list.
You know that's not happening.
please make a thread about it

Ah, whoops. Yeah, that's pretty respectable.
we are still 4 weeks away. Tracking numbers change.
Deadpool was tracking 50-65m on Jan 22, btw.

Don't take too much from them. Those number are usually low-balled.
Lol It's funny to see the extreme highs and lows that come with every bit of news. Deadpool was tracking in the double digits initially. These numbers are only tracked up to this point. Tickets just went on sale 3 days ago and not everybody buys their tickets a month in advance except us nerds.

the very nature of lex luthor's public persona looks like a joke. plus it seems pretty apparent there's gonna be the usual sarcastic banter between alfred and bruce. it will likely be pretty self-serious, which i'm fine with, but i don't doubt there will be more humor interspersed throughout it than in man of steel.
i don't care for snyder but some of the internet rumors for this film have become so absurd.
Low balling the fuck out of that. That $180m plus is much more realistic. These tracking numbers always start out low and the studios typically underestimate so that when it destroys the projections they look amazing.
Why is everyone saying 4 weeks away?
Am I missing a week?
Movie is out in 3 weeks/21-22 days from today
The no jokes thing should just be forgotten forever. It's one of those garbage rumors that can never be factually confirmed or denied. Maybe there was an internal memo, maybe there wasn't, but who the hell cares. That original rumor was so long ago, it doesn't hold anymore weight. Things change.

But the reverse is also true - rival studios pump up opening weekend numbers so anything under that looks poor.

"Fearsome" as a one-word descriptor has broad and vague connotations which, when coupled with leaks and footage released thus far, and concerns about her general depiction in mainstream media, creates the worry that Wonder Woman's first cinematic appearance will boil down to "Faora Mk. 2," aka the pretty face and pair of fists (this time, clutching sword and shield) contributing acts of mindless violence, as the crowd-pleasing one-dimensional token female badass.
"Fearsome" is worrisome.

they should really just play up jenny olsen in this series then. having a genuine platonic friendship with clark kent would do wonders for both characters tbh.
Hmm. I don't know what to make of that. On one hand, DKR had a lot more goodwill going into it as a followup to TDK, so I could see BvS falling off the curve the closer we get to the opening after the diehard fans buy their tickets. On the other hand, BvS has a novelty factor we haven't seen in superhero movies since The Avengers and that could sustain momentum.
As the cowards from the neutral planet would put it, my gut says maybe.
Sorry but to me that's not worrisome. I want Wonder Woman to look badass, and cool, as for development she'll have a solo movie for that.
People seem to expect way more out of this movie than any superhero movie has ever been able to live up to. At the end of the day it's still a movie about an alien being who can shoot fire from his eyes fighting a guy who spends his nights impersonating a flying rodent.
Maybe lower the bar a little, lol.
That's not to say it can't be good but don't go looking for Shakespeare is all.

Somebody should point out the Deadpool tracking vs what is opened at.
He'd ignore it anyway. Come on now.

I'd argue it holds weight if we're humoring it in 2016. The day it was reported those involved with WB-DC projects debunked it. As time went on we've had stories countering the rumor.
"Please rise for the national anthem sung by the Last Son of Krypton's god-like pecs"I love this shot.
