Goddamnit. I really hope the movie is enjoyable at least but reading this leaves me little confidence.:/

 

[Megadragon15]

If Warner Brothers are so worried, release it direct-to-video/streaming, cut their losses, and start all over.

 

[Poodlestrike]

So in other words the move is horrible right WB?

Lol these clowns are so incompetent compared to Marvel

This is like a parody post.

I can't even tell what's real right now.

Thread went from 3 responses to like 43 in the space of a minute.

Was like "someone said somethin preeeeetttty stupid, I bet"

Clicked thread.

YUUUUP.

 

[Dr.Acula]

They need to slap an "R" rating on it, quick!

 

[torre_avenue]

>Batman on Film
> "Batman V. Superman is too smart for Marvel audiences."

Fair and non-biased reporting.

I doubt it's for any of these reasons. It's more that Warners is risking potential decades worth of films generating billions in revenue on one movie. If I'd be in their shoes, I'd be scared as all hell because if I fuck it up, everybody is out for my head.

 

[Dabanton]

Is that opening quote a troll?

 

[DieH@rd]

JUST DON'T THINK WE ARE IDIOTS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE

 

[MHWilliams]

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’s deep story that was written by an Oscar winner.

I mean, the movie has Doomsday in it, WB. Don't try to oversell it.

This is James Gunn's comments on the mistakes Hollywood makes/will make re: Deadpool playing out.

 

[DMczaf]

Quoting a Batman fan site that is quoting another Batman fan site.

 

[Manmademan]

had to look up who it was. Looks like Chris Terrio did the screenplay for...Argo? that's the film that's too deep for audiences?

Batman V Superman

Ghost Directed by:
Terrance Malick

Trailers make so much sense now. WB been trying to make the movie look as popcorn as possible to save the ticket sales from this art house disaster.

You were beaten like Sodam Yat

 

[Mariolee]

Warner Bros. execs like: "Who the hell keeps making up all this shit about us?"

 

[Poodlestrike]

Worth noting that it's not like that's a quote from WB themselves, it's BOF's speculation.

 

[crazyrabbits]

"Superman's skin is just so dense"

There's so much happening in every single frame.

It's gonna be great.

 

[gutter_trash]

the movie is probably full of endless pits of backstories on top of backstories on top of backstories that is signature of Zack Snyder being unable to tell a story

 

[greatestjediever]

Last week HitFix reported that Warner Bros. was worried about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the internet freaked out! Now a second source, Batman on Film, backs up that story, but for a different reason.

According to BOF, Warner Bros. is indeed concerned about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but not because of the quality of the movie. They’re more concerned about how the audience will respond to it, and how it will perform at the box office.

BOF speculates that the mainstream audience is used to the “popcorn” movies that Marvel produces, and won’t respond well to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’s deep story that was written by an Oscar winner.

 

[Joel Was Right]

I'm offended by the stupidity of this thread.

 

[Nudull]

We aren't ready for DC's edginess.

Whew. Good times. We've all learned something new today. (By we all, I mean me.)

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I hear way too much "Chris Terrio won an Oscar" and not enough "Argo was a really well written movie."

Yet apparently the Oscars are considered a joke here on GAF

Yeah, ok, sure.

 

[Toki767]

Deep story.

That's a good one.

 

[Einchy]

We're worried are movie might be too amazing for people! Can people's minds handle such things?

 

[dabig2]

Doomsday is the key to all of it.

 

[Plasticine]

I hope the audience will understand the emotional depth of Doomsday as he punches stuff.

 

[- J - D -]

Man how great would it be if it turned out the trailers and promo stuff made this thing out to be something completely different than what it actually is.

Like Liam Neeson's The Grey or something.

 

[schlongdog]

Hahahahahaha

This movie is going to be an absolute disaster

 

[Brakke]

Lol this movie is going to suck.

This is a total job interview answer also. What's your greatest weakness? Well, I'm just *too* smart.

 

[Poodlestrike]

He's not writing the movie.

What exactly is it that you guys think directors do?

 

[Dabanton]

We've been pulled in hook,line and sinker guys.

No one serious would actually utter such a line, hilarious nevertheless.

 

[Stanng243]

As someone who likes the DC universe, and the Batman series, I won't be watching this as Ben Affleck is Batman. I dislike him greatly as an actor.

 

[Dalek]

"Deep Story"

 

[Mighty Chin]

Argo was not a good movie. Baffled by its praise.

People will watch this movie regardless. Not sure if they will re-watch it though.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Oh god this movie is going to suck isn't it?

Yes.

 

[Manmademan]

I hear way too much "Chris Terrio won an Oscar" and not enough "Argo was a really well written movie."

not just on GAF. The oscars have absolutely nothing to do with the quality of a film and everything to do with hollywood politics. You get to see enough of them and it becomes blindingly obvious.

edit: If they're smart, they cut out all traces of Doomsday and the inevitable Dragonball Z fight. The movie might be salvageable yet.

 

[Jarmel]

This will be the TLOU of movies. I'm sure this will be worthy of the multiple Oscars it will win.

 

[howdyjacker]

This movie is a clusterf*** of second guesses and bad trailers.


If it does great at B.O it will do so in spite of itself and those in charge.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

A kind of laugh came out of me that I never heard before.

 

[Discotheque]

That sucks. Dude looks like one of the better things to come out of all comic book movies in the next few years. Trailers and TV spots have really been selling his Bruce Wayne and the Alfred casting

Plus suicide squad making the rest of the bat verse look tight too

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Hahaha, bullshit.

Yeah, I like the casting of Bruce and Alfred. Especially Alfred.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

This is a very weird article.

First of all, it is a report on another site's opinion piece of a comment made by yet another site about something WB allegedly said. What the heck.

There's also nothing in said opinion piece that even said anything close to "deep story written by an Oscar winner".

 

[FeenixRising]

I'd say destroy everything and make an Injustice movie universe.

 

[ReAxion]

They can blame people not seeing the movie on the audiences having rolled their eyes too hard.

 

[Joel Was Right]

I hope the audience will understand the emotional depth of Doomsday as he punches stuff.

Doomsday was a tortured soul in his youth, never given a chance. Each punch he throws is a hit against his past. Look closely and you can see the tears swell in his eyes as he kills countless people.
