Wow reviews are extra hard on this movie for like no reason

 

[pretty done]

I think my favorite part of BvS was someone telling me that I should watch the three hour extended cut of that piece of shit.

The worst three hours of my 2016 for sure. But I just HAD to see Batfleck and Carl Drogo as Aquaman.

I'm no Marvel fan but at least the movies aren't insulting me just for watching.

?

 

[Ampersands]

What do I watch now?!? This summer, the summer where I finally have a decent disposable income, has been terrible for blockbusters. And with this, I think I'm disillusioned with the whole superhero craze. Marvel movies are bland and DC movies are bad.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

So BvS, basically. Whatever gets you the clicks.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I think I read somewhere they were just condoms taken out of the package, not used condoms

oh well then that's fine then

lol

 

[Staf]

So when do you guys recon the response of 'We made this movie for the fans' will be released from WB?

 

[Cyan]

It's crazy how biased all reviewers are against DC films. Do you suppose it's that they are being paid off by Disney, that they just always hated good honest superheroes like Superman, Batman, and Joker, or that they love the "fun" and "lightheartedness" of Marvel movies and want all movies to be crappy and dumb like that and so can't enjoy solid arthouse films like DC makes?

 

[JeTmAn81]

Wait 36%? Noooo

 

[Carcetti]

Who cares? Don't you want a great movie?

Sure, but it's kinda late to want that now.

 

[Solo]

This has got to be the worst summer movie season in a decade with multiple atrocious summer movie seasons.

The blockbuster is dead.

 

[Yeezus H. Christ]

So BvS, basically. Whatever gets you the clicks.

lol are you guys serious with this

 

[bananafactory]

I think the reason is they didn't like it

 

[Catvoca]

Wow haha

Save us, Pete's Dragon

 

[kurahador]

If that is true then the marketing team seriously fucked up. Don't promise something you know you can't deliver.

Yeah...Disney is on point as usual with not revealing Vader for Rogue One and Luke for TFA.

 

[Nappuccino]

One more from the archives.

Spoiler

originally had captain america hail hydra there

(what is the original meme--something Rambo, Charles Bronson?)

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Someone needs to shop some DCEU related heads in there

Dude

Spoilers

 

[John Dunbar]

not really surprised. the final trailer was a mess.

Woah if true

 

[WhateverItTakes]

They're missing someone who genuinely cares about the material.

Kevin Feige is a huge nerd and loves this kinda stuff, that's why Marvel is crushing it right now.

Also they are snagging up talented film makers left and right. The Russo Brothers, Ryan Coogler, tons of actors who fit their roles perfectly.

As long as that guy isn't Kevin Smith I'll be happy. Alright, maybe if he's Affleck's goto guy for knowledge checking it'd be alright. Still, there can't be a shortage of nerds in Hollywood who know their stuff, why aren't they getting hired?

I'm thoroughly anticipating an Affleck directed Batflick that wins Best Picture. A man can dream.

 

[Timu]

Wait 36%? Noooo

I see 38 on my end.

Really makes you think

I think, jokes aside, the world is getting less tolerant of people with big guns shooting other people when the movie around it doesn't make a good case for its general existence.

 

[Dick Justice]

Good God, DC fanboys just can't catch a break.

 

[Wingfan19]

10-16 (38%) now, we're heating up!

 

[VeryGooster]

This has got to be the worst summer movie season in a decade with multiple atrocious summer movie seasons.

Seriously, when was the last time a blockbuster season was this bad?

 

[WrenchNinja]

I can't wait for the

"Bbbut you have to wait for the extended unrated Director's edition to get the full experience".


I still can't believe I was scammed by the hyperbole of fanboys that said the same about BvS Directors Cut when it was still bad film.

30 more minutes will surely make a shit movie good instead of just longer

Can't wait for the Criterion.

Did Grace Randolph tell you to post this? ;P

Spoiler

I know it's sarcasm btw

 

[Jake2by4]

I see 38 on my end.

No more reviews have been added

 

[Spine_Ripper]

lol are you guys serious with this

Because that's not possible at all, right? I'm not saying the movie isn't shit, I'm saying it's probably not complete shit.

 

[Kalentan]

Warner Brothers preparing to get into damaged control.

Well Marvel is developing a Damage Control TV series. I suppose it has enough material from this.

 

[kswiston]

Disney should have activated more of their press shills for Alice.

 

[jett]

This has got to be the worst summer movie season in a decade with multiple atrocious summer movie seasons.

The blockbuster is dead.

We can only hope.

This is the year that simultaneously destroyed an attempt at a cinematic universe (DC) and the practice of splitting movies in two parts (Detergent series). So it was good for something. Both of these Hollywood shenanigans need to die.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

'This movie will be doomed cos Jai Courtney' - me, last week.

 

[Real Hero]

well apart from it being terrible, the only reason anyone needs

 

[JoeInky]

Yeah...Disney is on point as usual with not revealing Vader for Rogue One and Luke for TFA.

Was it confirmed that they removed Joker scenes from the film just to have more Will Smith in it or was that just a rumour?

Between the three Snyder films, and 689 Marvel films so far, that's a lot of money Disney has sent to critics so far. Do you think they also have to pay someone to cook the books to get rid of the RT score budget?

 

[EPaul]

Sigh.... still going to see this though

 

[Ithil]

Wow reviews are extra hard on this movie for like no reason

Maybe it's shit. Would that be a reason?

 

[tkscz]

After BvS, I'm going to see it myself first.

 

[Plywood]

didn't he literally send cum to people

http://www.avclub.com/article/jared-leto-also-mailed-used-condoms-his-suicide-sq-235260

Used condoms. It's what the Joker would do! So zany!

Fucking hell.
He said that there's a lot of stuff made up by the press.

so method

That would be dumb.

What's not fun about getting cum sent to you?

Cynic.

To be fair and this will probably get overlooked but two things:

https://youtu.be/4LkI_FpMTKw?t=316

“On set, everyone called him Joker, or Smiley, or in Ayer's case, Mr. J. Even the crew driving cast members around played along. Leto pulled a set of pranks that have already become infamous, sending a live rat to co-star Margot Robbie's trailer while delivering bullets and what Leto has described as "used condoms" to other cast members. "Look, they weren't used condoms," says Ayer. "Let's be real here. They're removed from their packages, but it wasn't actually used. And, of course, I was mortified. Like, 'Jared, put that stuff away -- get that out of here, what are you doing?’”

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

I wonder how the Collider guys will review this, they gave a relatively positive review to BvS. Their live show happens in one hour.

Wake up sheeple

Geoff Johns was recently given control of pretty much everything, but I think it was well after it could have any effect on this particular film.

 

[Majukun]

Well if it's really as bad as some of those reviews make it out to be, they should give a raise to whoever was in charge of marketing because the movie looked like a ton of fun and I'm still gonna go see it.

 

[Ithil]

Because that's not possible at all, right? I'm not saying the movie isn't shit, I'm saying it's probably not complete shit.

What basis do you have for claiming it is "probably" not shit?
