Batman will save the movie from being a complete disaster enough for people to recommend it, but not FRESH

Only because if watchmen wasn't well received I can't imagine this going over better than that.

[Poodlestrike]

We've had like 3 separate large-scale premiers/showings with near unanimously positive fan response. It's perfectly possible that the critics completely reverse on that, or that prerelease buzz is even less descriptive than usual, but I'm thinking we're looking at an ~75-80 MC. No idea about RT, the binary yes/no rewards inoffensiveness over basically any other quality.

 

[duckroll]

I think I'll go with 70% RT, 6.5/10 RT average, 65 MC. Could be lower though.

Better received than MoS, both by fans and critics, and in the box office, too

will be eclipsed by Civil War on all those fronts in a couple months

There's also been plenty of critics reporting they have heard nothing but great things. But you're right, all this means nothing.

I dunno its tough competition this year with Deadpool.

I think Man of Steel reactions were actually kinda mixed. There were lots of overblown positive ones, but there were also enough negative ones to cast doubt.

Hoping Ben Affleck had a little say in the script/direction. Otherwise it will be a 55% mess.

Those tweets have lots of red flags though, "So many characters", "Sometime sit feels as too much", "Ultron is snarkier than I thought" etc

Still "mostly Positive"
but yeah, those abysmals were definitely out there

I'm giving it an optimistic 72%.

I think it's going to be better than what people are expecting, but only by a bit. I'm going with the fact Chris Terrio and Ben Affleck worked on the script substantially and Zack Snyder's hectic directing actually working in this film's favor.

I honestly don't know if I'm right or not considering how disparate the thoughts have been regarding the script, initial reactions (though since when has a blockbuster superhero film gotten a bad initial reaction?), and the news regarding characters and what not in the film.

Here's hoping for a positive surprise.

Better critical appraisal than MoS, but darker tone will still be a stickler for some.

There's no other reaction than "positive" that comes from a bunch of comicbook nerds given the opportunity to watch friggin Batman vs Superman before the entire world.
