Lex isn't irredeemable. I kinda hoped Michael Cera would do what he did in social network. Stoic, calm and having quiet rage. I hoped Lex would do stuff like belittle Bruce cos Lex Corp shares were doing better than Wayne Industries or brag about having won a lucrative govt contract Wayne Industries bid on. There were flashes of that in the party scene and stuff like that could have fleshed Lex out to be a petty bellend who must prove himself better than people like Bruce and Clark. Lex can still do all that stuff in sequels just gone down the eccentric stuff audiences didn't respond to.

DCAU was closer to his comic book roots. The businessman real estate angle is so stupid and bland. His base desire, which was accurate in BVS, should be walking fine balance of envy/jealousy bordering with fear and shakings of his core beliefs. Something like this:
My biggest issue with the movie were the jarring cuts a character motivations. This really helps with both of those issues. I had no problem with tone, really liked the tone, and didn't have an issue with Lex. It went from a 7 to an 8 for me if I had to score it, but I didn't really have a number in mind with BvS.
eh, she seemed fine to me.Gal's acting in that trailer

I think it's a pretty good year for openings between that and xmen.
I walked out disappointed with xmen as well but that opening was like the mummy with mutant powers haha. And those Ottman opening credits God damn.
The snyder credits were great too. I expected that as soon as we saw the Wayne murder in the trailer. But I didn't think redoing the metropolis attack would be as good as it ended up being.

There wasn't much in the way of new footage, pretty much just slightly longer shots like the other video...but...here's some gifs anyway.
I love rap but that was a terrible song... feeling the Heathens one better

I was able to buy the Extended Cut off of Cineplex and just finished watching it. The Theatrical Cut is definitely a butchered version of what should be considered the "real" version of the movie now. Its cut to pieces. But having seen this version of the film I think I can see why they felt they needed to aside from cutting down on the run time. Its much more apparent that this is a slow burn movie in the front half. However, its a more coherent movie. Subplots now make more sense. I would even say Luthor is improved because you get much more of a sense of him pulling the strings. But I don't see there being a sudden surge of people now loving the film. People whose main problem with the theatrical cut being the way they chose to edit the film will find this much better. The "too dark no fun" people will still hate it.
Thanks mang, these look fantastic
This is the general consensus I'm seeing. You had to have already kinda liked BvS in order for the UC to do anything for you.
More like your dislike of it must come from the editing/Pacing, not the tone/story for you to like the UC more.
That's a shot in the dark. Someone may come away and believe even with those fixed the movie doesn't work for them.

Warehouse scene in the ultimate cut is even more brutal but, this really doesn't need to be spoiler tagged,
the shot of Batman tossing a goon into a crate from the trailer still isn't in the scene. Man, I want to see the scene in its full glory.
Pretty much. My 5/10 is probably a 6.5 or a 7 now. Everything before the fight is great. I still don't like anything after.

That sounds reassuring. That's my exact rating and opinion on the the theatrical cut more or less.
Though I loved the warehouse fight and really disliked the chase sequence.

100 minutes for Suicide Squad seems wrong, right ?

It's out on Cineplex, you need to buy it with a Canadian Address though.
Even Deadpool was longer, this can't be right.
Then he tweeted not true. If the movie was that short I would be extremely worried.

I wish it was that length. Debunking it is a bit of a bummer tbh. Oh well hopefully it ends up like a really good paced hour 50 or 2.

Whenever you said my name is earl did ppl ever mention that show to you when it was airing back in the day
What is the lab? The editing room?
I probably assume to make copies of the film to ship out worldwide
Also... ladies and gentlemen, state of bloggers in 2016...

So 100 minutes is false.

Took some liberty and inverted the color, as I wanted the dark hair to be distinctive.
Don't know why people are jumping down his throat... dude did what any of us would, when the official account retweets something you assume they are endorsing it. He (or she) did the right thing.

Do you have to buy the UC on digital separately then? I mean I have the Amazon boxset preordered that comes with the Ultraviolet copy and all that crap but...I don't wanna wait 3 more weeks. lol
It'd be nice to watch it Tuesday...and then BvS Supes by Hot Toys arrives Wednesday!!

Definately picking up the digital version, still debating wether or not to buy the regular or 3D Bluray. Batman v Superman is literally the only movie where I really enjoyed the 3D effects, I thought they were really well done.

I don't know how Amazon does their stuff. I know you can order a cd and get a digital copy on release, but idk about movies

Yeah I don't know either. I think Best Buy in the past has done something similar where if you preordered a blu that had a digital copy included you could watch or stream the digital version as a bonus until your disc arrived.
