Bullshit. He's the best actor in a movie with a lot of good performances.
Fuck the Razzies.

Fuck the Razzies.
Are they not done because Gal was only in 3 movies last year and was considered awful in all of them yet she wasn't nominated.
Really? Even the very few I know who liked the movie seemed mostly meh about Eisenbergs Luthor.

Loved the trilogy, but count me in on the group that prefers where we're headed. Batfleck is as good as it gets on film, and we're diving headfirst into the batverse without any grounded approach compromises.
There are plenty like this, but they're all frauds. Lames can cite them in place of thinking for themselves all they want.
I'm not really worried about the DCEU's reception right now. The material is too good... There's a reason why even in hate, people would rather talk about these films than the hype and forget, rinse and repeat Marvel cycle. Things will eventually turn when success reaches a point where it can't be denied anymore.
This kind of goes back to something I was talking about earlier with the RT thing, remember?
Some of yall are getting upset about the Razzies. THE RAZZIES. Take a chill pill
Yeppers.
Hah, maybe a little, but you'll never see me throwing critics as a whole under the bus just because it's convenient. RT usually settle on scores that are understandable, even if you don't agree. 3 out of 4 critics being unable to recommend the TC of BvS shouldn't be shocking even if you love that movie. In the same way, it's understandable why BvS would top the Razzies even if it's definitely not the worst movie of 2016. It's the highest profile movie this year that was panned.
I'd rather try to understand the world and other people than stay in my bubble and reject anything that challenges my own experience.
That is a three letter word for any thought too big for little minds.
Still researching, but seems may be from a mag
Looks like a promo shot rather than a still

Cyborg's gonna be crazy powerful in this.
Omg. I need a fucking trailer. Too much hype.Still researching, but seems may be from a mag

Batman suit looks fucking amazing in the shadow like that. Hated the clearer promo pic but in darker lighting it looks so good
Aquaman looks fantastic too. Can take or leave the other 3. Gal just looks awkward (suit is great tho) and I think the costume designers have proved they can do so much better than that cyborg and Flash design

Aquaman "Where's the fucking water"
Batman. Cuz it's Kal's time.
And Batfleck will still steal the show because of God Snyder choreography.
I don't see how much better Cyborg can get.

I would have liked to seen some concept art for a design that doesn't involve a thousand smaller pieces making him up. Not saying it'd be better, but I'd like to see the comparison.
Don't know how much sleeker he can get when he's has an ever changing and adapting body.
I'll throw most critics under the bus happily. Because you can tell by their writing and their level of analysis that they're just people who watch a lot of movies and basically have no desire to really look at a film and discuss it analytically. If you look at the reviews for BvS, it's like at 300+ right now and most of them consist of bloggers and people you've never heard of.
I always look at the top critics and follow my favorite people. Somebody like Armond White actually cares to say something about a film that goes beyond "good" or "bad". The same goes for people like Wesley Morris and A.O. Scott. Those people are worth reading and taking their opinions into account. If I want a layman review, I'll just look at the GAF review thread.
So many people misuse and misinterpret the RT. It's annoying.

On the razzie talk, Sandra Bullock handled it the best. It's meant to be a fun thing and not personal or anything some make it out to be.
Armond White's opinion isn't worth anything really. Not the paper it's printed on, not the keyboard it's typed on, nothing.
Why? The guy certainly seems knowledgeable about art and film history. If you read stuff like his review of Fences you can learn about the playwright who wrote the story and where the author might have been coming from at least by looking at the framework of the characters.
I think his reviews are at least worth a read because very few people attempt to dissect the culture and perceptions all these movies are indulging in.
What did he mean by this?

DC on OT been dead. But now its deaded.
The wait for a fresh RT score continues or whatever validation they wanted
That new pic is hard to tell if its cool concept art or a horrible still

Cyborg is unfortunate in that most of his looks are wack. But making it less polygonal and Nintendo 64 is a start. Articles mentioned he has multiple forms so we'll see. Ray Fisher got so jacked and only a side of his face shows.
Actually, reminds me more of that shield mode in the new Deus Ex. Got me thinking Adam Jensen's cyborg body is very sleek and would be a good jumping off point.

Shoulda went with literally anyone else to fill out their black member quota. Except for John Stewart. Boring ass.
He just comes off as either being a contrarian just because he can, or just saying things to make him appear better than he is.
You did mention Wesley though, he's my boy.

Surprisingly getting most hyped for Aquaman.
I think Flash is over designed? He should be wearing something sleeker.

As long as it's not spandex with lightning bolts attached to his ears.
No offense, but I think you're only saying that because they don't reinforce your preexisting opinions. Even if you look at what the industry would consider the best of the best among critics, movies like BvS were not well received. Aggregates like Metacritic that closely curates the source of scores still tend to run in parallel with RT's actual scoring system. This isn't to say critical consensus is infallible, but that doesn't mean they are inherently flawed either. Any time anyone does some actual critique and analysis though, people tend to reject it if it doesn't reinforce their own opinion.
There's a temptation to view opinion as black and white, without nuance, as simply a binary spectrum of good or bad like you're describing. And yes, RT reinforces that pitfall with their RT%, but it's not like the % score is a difficult concept to properly understand as the most generalized of recommendations.

That's pretty badass, but Diana looks odd here. Like she's made of plastic or something.
Right? She looks like a statue or something.
She looks like Jessica Chabot to me.
What about the Ultimate Cut tho?

I wonder what they're looking at. Superman's resurrection? 
What about it? They're different enough that a whole new set of reviews would need to be gathered in order to determine a critical consensus. As much as it sucks, the TC is still the version most people saw and the version most people remember. The UC is a completely separate discussion.
