I heard from a review that Superman still kills in this movie

I'm really spoiled by earlier depiction of Superman, especially from the DCAU.

I can just read the hundreds of comics issues they team up in if I want stories about it. Seeing it in live action adds no value to me. I don't think I like movies in general as a format. If the failure helps chase away /tv/ then so be it.

The thing about critics is, they don't like it if a movie tries to be smart and falters in doing so. They would rather watch a movie that knows what is, dumb mindless fun. There's nothing wrong with that, but you can't deny there isn't a bias.

I don't want it to fail. I want it to be great but I have little faith in Snyder to pull it off. The reviews don't help but I'm going to watch anyway and hope I enjoy it.

Actually I'll correct myself a little. He was kind of ok in JL, but by the time JLU came around he was a huge angry and moody bitch before the Cadmus stuff even ramped up.

By successful I mean monetarily successful enough to continue making movies set in the DCEU. Let's not kid ourselves anon even if this movie makes money it's shit.

By proper I mean not shit. Made by people who respect the comics. With Snyder as far away from them as possible.

>>
>>81008939
I didn't like MoS and BvS didn't look good to me, but I don't get this infantile "TOLD U SO!" and gloating about the bad reviews for the movie. Like, people wanted it to be a bad movie? I think Snyder is awful, but I would had loved for this to be a good movie, so that I could, you know, have a good movie to watch. Actually wanting it to fail boggles my mind.

Those are mostly ass for the same reason. Too much fucking movie formula.

Is there literally no superhero film that isn't "superhero stops the villain because he's the only one with the power to do so"?

Batman v Superman had a chance to be EXACTLY THAT, but I'm sure some execs were worried that it might be controversial

No.

>Oh, and this Batman repeatedly shatters his "one rule", and kills willy-nilly while demonstrating a disturbing taste for sadistic mutilation. The excuse is that Superman has driven him to the edge – and yet this guy is still supposed to be our hero. There’s a difference between an antihero and a full-on villain, but this film never figures out where the boundaries lie.

Snyder can't keep getting away with this!

>>81009555
Did you actually think the Batman and Superman tussle was going to be the main point of the movie and not the lead up to something bigger that happens towards the end?

I cannot call to mind any initial contact between Batman and Superman that didn't involve them perhaps disagreeing, maybe getting into a fight, then quickly realized they need to work together to stop a bigger threat because they're both good guys.

That's how it works, that's how it has always worked.

>>81009253
He's in some truly shitty movies, almost all of them shitty because he was given some measure of creative control over them.

In particular Daredevil should have been a red flag. It's not enough to say "oh yeah but Argo" because when he made Daredevil he was already an Oscar winner.

He's just prone to making shitty movies when his ego isn't reined in.

>>81009277
>>81008939
Yeah I honestly don't want any movie to fail. Each movie you watch represents thousands of hours of work by hundreds of people over the space of several years. None of them want to make a shitty movie, it's just that sometimes personalities come to dominate the production or some kind of groupthink takes over and they end up making something terrible. On lower budgets maybe they run out of money; on something like this, they run out of people who know when to say "enough".

The fact is though, it has almost certainly failed. It's not going to make a billion, it's probably going to drop 80% on the second weekend, and it just won't recover.

What they then choose to do with the other two movies they've finished is anybody's guess. They could always cut Affleck out and do a few reshoots, try and salvage some of it. But it's not going to be easy for them, and those are the people I feel sorriest for here: the ones who are still working on their projects and looking at the way this is going and worrying that actually, maybe they've been just rolling around in cowshit for two years instead of making a decent movie. Poor dumb bastards.
>>
>>81009624
>do you want to buy shrimp peeled by slaves?

I guess we are just too different to understand each other then because I would if it was cheaper. I'm sure there's shit I buy that's made in sweatshops and all. That's up to the government to regulate. Why should I harm myself by paying more (or not metaphorically, by not watching a movie I want to watch) based on something I can't control?

Though I wasn't planning on BvS until it showed up on HBO or something so maybe it's more of an academic point of debate than truly mattering.
>>
I wanted it to be good dammit. But WB deserves it for making shit decisions. David Goyer, still? Fuck off.
>>
>>81008939

If the people in charge of these characters watched Man of Steel and said, "Lets give this guy even MORE characters! Let's give him the keys to the WHOLE UNIVERSE!" you bet your ass I hope this fails.

Incompetence should never be rewarded and if it does take ten years than great, maybe we'll have some execs who aren't complete fucking idiots by then.

By some of these accounts the movie has similar pacing to MoS and the tussle is actually towards the end after an hour and change of build up and sequel hooks. So in that sense, it is the main point of the movie.

Given that the fight and the knightmare sequence are the only two action beats even hinted at being in the movie and the aforementioned precedence I can believe that.

He's actually right. The only time they've been legitimately at odds might be something like Injustice where one of them is evil. Other times it's mind control or a little misunderstanding before they fix it and fight the real villain. That's the trope.

It's like complaining that Superman is Clark Kent or that Batman's parents got killed in an alley. It's a given.

"Closest thing" doesn't make it good, and you're still wrong. Winter Soldier was excellent, and so were First Class and Days of Future Past. Just because it pretends to be darker and deeper doesn't automatically make it better.

Because people hated MoS and just hate DC in general. DC is seen as the FoxNews of comics. It's also because many critics have a HUGE bias towards Marvel ever since the Avengers (heck, some people are turning on the X-Films). Therefore, DC movies shouldn't be allowed to exist unless made by Marvel Studios. They even went of their way to create spambots on twitter to trash the movie.
BvS is still shit. But no matter what it turned out to be, it was destined to fail.

What would it matter if it was my intention? Even IF I told a judge I threw the ball hoping he would jump off the cliff to get it what would change? I don't see it as Batmans fault that Harvey was an idiot. Bottom line is Batman didn't push him off, shake the beam he was on, or throw anything at him physically that caused him to fall. All he did was toss some coins in the air.

Here's a question, did BvS establish that Batman has a rule against killing? Cause as far as I can tell they didn't do that with Burton's Batman.

If BvS doesn't establish the rule, then okay I could accept it even though I'm not thrilled with that.

If it established the rule in-story, then it'd be a bullshit contradiction within the film itself.

I wasn't talking about Unbreakable, but yes that is a film that's better than MoS.

Critics don't decide anything for me. I'm just telling you to check the reviews because the burden of having to explain why one movie was better than another doesn't exist.

It's 1. Because Clark's kryptonian genes (the ones he's not a slave to) compelled him to wear a cape
2. So Jonathan could see who Clark would grow up to be before he took dive into a twister.

He didn't kill Zod.

What happened with Superman I and II is they were made by the Salkinds; there's actually a thing called the Salkind Clause that prevents actors and crew being hired for one production that then gets split into multiple productions but still only pays for one production - this was because of the Three Musketeers/Four Musketeers movies they produced in the early 70s, which were originally going to be one movie.

That was just how they liked to work; as long as everybody's getting paid it's fair enough, there's nothing wrong with shooting movies and sequels back to back - but it also happened with Superman I and II, and when Donner quit (resulting in another director finishing off) a lot of the material he'd shot was left out of the edit. The theatrical release has Superman dropping Zod and his cronies into a misty pit; audiences didn't like that, so for the tv edits and other later releases the scene of them being handed over - along with Luthor - to the "Arctic Patrol", a fictional police/military patrol in the Arctic circle, presumably near the Fortress of Arrogance. The Donner Cut - as released on DVD a few years back - also reinstates this scene, I believe. In any case I think Donner's on record as saying Superman didn't kill them in his version.

Superman destroys the second Nuclear Man by depositing him in the reactor of a nuclear power plant, turning him into electricity (yeah), something he understands will work after having destroyed the first Nuclear Man (Clive Mantle) by knocking him into the arrestors of a power line (in a deleted scene). Since both Nuclear Men were essentially programmed evil clones of Superman with lifespans of perhaps a few days, it's debatable whether killing them was murder in the way that breaking Zod's neck was, but the second Nuclear Man is definitely the model Snyder chose for his Zod's behavior.

It's also worth noting that in the previous movie, Superman literally strangled his evil self to death. He also "kills" a self-aware computer, though I can't recall offhand whether he was aware that the computer had become self-aware at that point.

To piss off the memers that have been spamming every MCU thread for the past year.

WB/DC cucked this up, they don't have a long game plan like MCU did. They only saw the success of Marvel plan and want it something similar, only thing is, they are throwing a glorified hail mary. What could have been a sequel of Man of Steel got mingled up with Batman, then Wonder Woman, then glorified cameo of some Justice League friends. Now add Lex Luthor and Doomsday (out of nowhere!) into the mix. We have hodge podge of everything but a kitchen sink into the mix.
A visual splendor, but a messy one. Also, should i mention Doomsday again? Dear God.... that ugly CGI.

What's wrong with Affleck as a person?

I hate that Clark Kent is more brooding then Bruce Wayne, that Superman no longer represents hope, that he has to learn the value of life, which makes no sense, he's alive himself and values his own, why would he need to kill someone to go oh, I guess that's a bad thing? Maybe he should go molest a child next, just to be sure that's wrong too.

This needs to fail so Warner Brothers, Jim Lee and Dan DiDio get the message, that people want to see heroes, not broken people living in a hopeless, joyless world of equally broken dreams.

And, for the record, I am not a Marvel fanboy, I am a Superman fanboy and it's exceptionally disappointing to see him treated with so much disrespect.

They'd have been hit with a loss of earnings suit by the Siegel estate for stalling production of the reboot, and they'd also have tied it to a man they thought would make a lot of money - 50% of which, at the time, they would be obligated to pay direct to the Siegels.

Which is a huge problem because it’s supposed to kick-start the studio’s new cinematic universe, which will includes films for Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Shazam, Cyborg, Green Lantern, and The Flash. Insiders at HitFix have reported that if Batman v Superman is a box office flop, then they might change their entire plan for expanding their DC cinematic universe.

McWeeny explained, “My guess is what’s going to happen is based on what I’m hearing… is Justice League is going to get moved back and that Ben Affleck movie, that’s what’s going to end up in that spot. My guess is that they’re going to throw whatever money it takes at Ben Affleck to make that Batman film happen sooner rather than later.”

McWeeny has speculated that Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman will be released as planned, but that Warner Bros. will then have a long hard think about how to proceed regarding the other Justice League characters.

WB will likely halt production of Justice League following the critical failure of Batman v Superman. This is the second time they trusted Snyder to build a cinematic DC universe and twice he failed. He's not getting a third shot.

Food for thought people. Zack Stentz, a guy known for the work he's done for two competing franchises (MCU and X-Men) believes that the deluge of negative reviews might possibly be from people who had already made up their minds before they had even seen the film.

When the fucking competition calls foul, doesn't that say something?

You will get it only if they kick Zack Snyder out, BvS just prove this guy as the root of all evil that fuck DCEU over, kick him out and everything is good.

Personally? Almost everything these people are bitching about sounds positive to me. I LIKE that BvS is nothing like Marvel. That was the whole point for me. I like Marvel, but their films just don't have any weight, and they rarely every experiment with deeper subject matter. If BvS really is so much different, I say it should be getting praise.

Though even they aren't all that great.

Affleck is just doing Miller's Dark Knight Returns which is now somehow the start of the JLA.

I like Man of Steel and I may very well like this movie, but, even if this movie makes buck, he should not be allowed to full creative control again. He has a talent and I think WB should use it, but this is just intolerable.
>>
>>81013288
Yes, this genre needs a different tone and story but certainly not something like BvS. It's straight up bad, legit bad and I am not joking, this movie is bad news and if you want to build DCEU around it then prepare to get fuck over, IT IS that BAD.

This is from someone that hype this shit before.

>>81013300
I usually make it a point to ignore early reviews with something as big as this. There's bound to be plenty of folks who will give negative reviews just for the sake of being controversial.

That, and these film critics tend to be English and lit majors who only review cape movies for their paychecks. They tend not to be familiar with modern comics, and thus carry many preconceived notions and stereotypes about them. As a result, they tend to look down on movies adapted from comics. I think Marvel only gets a pass because, in their minds, MCU movies embrace the inherent "silliness" of the genre.

Of course, all of this is just my thoughts on the subject. I could just as easily be flat wrong. But I'm waiting until I've seen the movie on Thursday before I pass final judgement.

>>81012384
I don't give a fuck if Luke Cage decides to kill some mobsters, but make Spider-Man kill them and then I'll be mad.

This is the same. You can have Aquaman putting his trident in some asshole's chest because he was throwing chemicals into the ocean, but you can't have fucking Superman snapping necks on his fucking first appearance, throw them into the Shadow Realm or something, if you want them gone. Hell it would be a lot better if Zod was arrested and Lex moved his influences to get a hold of him and experiment on him alive to show how fucking psychotic he is.

>>81013288
Buy anon, I'm getting real tired of these dark cape movies. Time for them to be lighthearted.
>>
>>81013325
We don't know if it's entertaining or not, because we haven't seen it. And dude, come on. Most of these reviews feature some variation on the "it's not Marvel, therefore it sucks" routine. The other common complaints contradict what we've heard from audiences, and in some cases contradict each other. Is it an overblown CGI shit fest, or a boring philosophical drama? These fuckers can't seem to make up their minds.

Gone Girl the movie where women are bitches who lie to hurt because they secretly rule the world from their underground city? Fuck you, that film is terrible, the book is garbage.

You know what else? It's not just Daredevil. It's Gigli; it's Pearl Harbor, it's Shakespeare In Love, it's Bounce, Armageddon, it's a decade of phoned-in garbage and projects he made with his girlfriends because he's a cunt who doesn't know how to separate his personal from his professional life. This is the guy who made Good Will Hunting and wowed everybody when he was 25. Now he's 43 and it's painfully obvious that whatever talent he has, it isn't bad directors or scripts that kill it. It's him. He does this. He phones shit in instead of working hard and he coasts on his reputation, which was mostly built off the back of Kevin Smith films anyway. You seen any of them lately? They're so 90s they should only be available on VHS in a museum of the 90s to people who own a signed copy of "Two Princes" on double-a-side cassette. They didn't so much age like milk as rot like cheese.

Fuck that guy. Whatever talent he has clearly doesn't extend to reigning in his fanboy tendency.

The funny thing is that some of the "haterz" also seem to be MoS fans. IGN gave MoS a 9 and now a 6.8 to BvS (although maybe it's different reviewers?), another guy claimed the movie was a step back because it abandoned the realism that characterized the first movie

>>81013442
Honestly, 'dark' has been turned into just another buzzword anyway. I'm sick of anything synonymous with "serious" being considered a dirty word when used in relation to comic book movies. Most of the negative BvS reviews I've been reading complain about it being 'self-serious'. Well what the fuck does that mean? If it means they aren't constantly giving the audience a wink and nudge, then by God, carry on. The whole reason I've been behind the DCEU this whole time is because I've been wanting something that's different from Marvel.

I realize that. What I'm getting at is that there isn't any consistency here, which calls at least some of these reviews into question.
>>
>>81010821
Pretty much this.

I respect that Snyder had a specific artistic vision of Batman he wanted to put on screen. But the Miller Batman does NOT work in a constant cinematic universe. It works in a one shot movie that deals with the last grasp of a hero who had been on an edge for years, but kept it in check.

A worlds finest movie was a movie people really wanted. But we'll never get.
>>
How many people did dark Nolan Batman kill over 3 movies (besides Ra's debatably)?

Is Batfleck even edgier?

Makes me wonder about the home release cut and how different it is from the cinematic cut. The attitudes towards the extended 3-4 hr Watchmen seemed more positive than the original.

Stentz is OK, but he's talking out of his ass if he's talking about the official reviews. If you actually read the reviews it's clear a lot of the grievances the reviewers had come directly from viewing the film.

If he's talking about people's blogs, sure, but who gives a shit.

>>81013205
They weren't really moving on it anyway. There's nothing they could do until WW finished and this current round of press and premieres was done.

Makes sense to hold off until you know how people are reacting.

>>81013230
It won't. You know that movie Green Lantern? $50m opening weekend in 2011; that's about as good as any movie could ask. Still died a death because nobody liked it.

This could make $120m this weekend like Man of Steel, but if it dies off as fast as MoS or GL, it's never going to break a billion. My feeling is somewhere around $800m, if it gets the strong weekend it's predicted for. If it doesn't... I don't know. $600m? It can't survive on that any more than Superman Returns could survive on what it made. Costs are too high.

From what I've heard, Batfleck doesn't even kill anybody directly outside of the Knightmare sequence. I think the movie operates on Arkham logic. Batman does shit that would probably be lethal IRL, but we're meant to just assume that nobody dies.

Personally, I'm fine with that. It's been like that in various forms of media for a while now.

I'm glad BvS is shit.

Honestly they should have just left with Superman and Batman having a small spat then working together to stop a new threat with Luther teaming up with a Batman villain.

>>81008939
Fail is the wrong word. And perhaps what type of fail.

Did I hate the hubris that so many DC fans seem to have? Well, of course. I do remember a time when DC made the big movies in the 90s, and WB/DC was the untouchable studio. Disney had to make good cartoons, and Marvel tried their best at making comics, but they couldn't take down WB/DC. I kind of hated how places like Cinemasins claimed that "anyone would watch any Batman & Superman movie, even a crappy one", and how HISHE has a clear DC bias, as reflected by their superhero movie shorts. And msot of all, I ahte the DC poster son /tv/, and how they kept spamming the "capekino"meme and "marvel on suicidewatch" meme.

But.

BUT

I don't want BvS to fail.

I don't think there should only be Marvel movies. Or rather, only Marvel movies and Fox Marvel movies. We need competition. Even Marvel themselves know the importance of having a distinguished competition. A good DC movie would embolden Marvel to look at themselves, and be careful with the choices they make. Its why the Avengers, for all its goodness, had the death of Coulson, and SML Jackson saying "Its an old fashioned idea". Its a powerful scene, but, a scene that would have nto worked as well for me, if I had not seen Watchmen and the Dark Knight previously.

I want DC to make a good movie, so that Marvel can keep making good movies. Otherwise we'll go into a kind of dark age genres like real tiem strategy games are in - where the only big game is Starcraft 2, and nothing else. And its so bland.

So no, I do want BvS to succeed. I want its fans to watch the movie no matter what. And I hope that DC will learn from tis mistakes, and make a better movie.

But I still reject anyone, who dares to say DC will end Marvel. This company war BS has to stop.

Unless BvS makes a Gorillion dollars and Suicide gets amazing reviews, there really isn't a good foreseeable future where both companies try to do their best. Instead Marvel and Fox will continue until the market saturates and we end up in the dark ages like before.

I honestly can't blame DCfags for their hubris, they finally had a ray of hope after being shitposted to death for 8 years and now it comes crashing down

This is easy as shit. It's when you obviously higher a bunch of big name actors to bloat up your movie's image, but they're not adding anything but their name to the movie itself. This shit happens all the time. It's an important part of Oscar Bait, though I doubt "Oscar Bait" is what's going on here. The principle is the same, though: market actor's names to market the movie.
>>
>>81008939
I didn't want it to fail but I knew it would because the people behind the camera are varying degrees of awful and some of the casting decisions were absolutely retarded.

I'd like to believe that this is a warning to Warner Bros. that they can't keep putting out shit tier movies if they want to create a successful cinematic universe to compete with Marvel, but as long as they get their shekels they're going to continue to put out steaming turds.

This is the problem with numerical reviews: there's no actual standard for connecting numbers to the meat of the review.

I also think people were always going to be hard on BvS. Whether it's bad or good.

It really becomes apparent of the ridiculous company wars when everything DC fans have been asking for are either major parts of the MCU or completely missing from MoS/BvS.

You want an accurate character depiction of Supes/Batman or Lex? You aren't going to get that here. You want bright fun-loving superheroes? You aren't going to get that here. You want a movie that can stand alone and isn't going to get bogged down by Thor-In-A-Pool scenes? You aren't going to get that here.

Yes, /tv/ always has threads about random shitty movies asking if they were kino. Some anon decided to have fun with it and started calling BvS kino clearly poking fun at it.

You know, I think that after I see the movie on Thursday, I'm going to start a thread here and post my thoughts on the movie, after a synopsis of course. More specifically, I'm going to address each of the most common complaints in these negative reviews, one by one. This huge disparity between audience reactions and critical reactions has made me suspicious, so maybe a pedestrian observer's input is called for.

Hard to say

There's the part where Lex Luthor tricks a senator into drinking urine, right before he blows her up with a wheelchair bomb

There's also the scene where Superman has a flash back to Pa Kent talking about drowning horses

There's the scene where Batman literally hits Superman over the head with a kitchen sink, complete with a sound effect

Or how about when Batman kills people pretty brutally, and almost kills Supes with a spear made from Kryptonite, but spares his life when he learns that Supes' mother has the same name that his mom had

Honestly the movie is a complete cluster fuck of bad pacing, and scenes that are basically Space Dildo-caliber silly

The niggers over at Reddit went into this in detail, but I've honestly forgotten most of what was said. Suffice to say, it was determined that these accounts were most likely created for the sole purpose of spreading that message. However, it was also determined, by virtue of the rather basic nature of the whole thing, that it likely wasn't something that was orchestrated by anyone professional. More likely just a butthurt fanboy with some programming skills.
>>
>>81013869
Do as you wish. The fan reaction vs critic reaction should not surprise you.

For fans, just seeing Batman makes a movie 10/10. Seeing him fighting Superman and winning makes it 11/10. They ignore some things because of the cool visuals and superheroes.

Critics don't give a fuck. In fact, they hold Batman at a higher level since TDK. If they see something that isn't as though provoking, it is instantly worse than Nolan's Batman. Hell, they might have even compared TDK and BvS to decide on the score, no wonder it's so low.

It surprises me how tinfoily and conspiracy theorists people here are. There were many signs that this movie might just not be that good, and when the time comes, you look at any and every third party to blame. This is WB, Snyder, and DC's fault.

If anything, I give you that it isn't the actor's fault. They were just given a shitty plate.

Have you really seen the movie or are you just copypasting the same thing people have been posting about movie over and over again?

There is no conspiracy. We just had 3 critically-praised Batman movies. And it's not an anti-superhero thing. Deadpool just came out to rave reviews.

Zack Snyder just fucking sucks. He has never made a good movie. Even his best film (Dawn of the Dead) is middling at best. He's trash. Straight-up. And the sooner WB figures this out the better off we'll all be.
>>
>>81013840
That and lets face it, DC has been in a tightrope since Green Lantern, and they just keep stumbling instead of getting their shit together. Any attempt will be seen as amazing by fans in denial since they don't want to see DC fail.

>Arkham "lethal-shit-isn't-lethal-just-roll-with-it" logic that people really should be accustomed to by now; Batman doing something that Batman would do (i.e. Finally seeing reason only after being hit square in the face with the truth and seeing past his own paranoia, the truth being that he and Superman are more alike than he'd care to admit)

Yeah, not seeing any problems here. Of course, if you go out of your way to make something shit, well, there you go. It's not very honest, but I guess you don't care about that.
>>
>>81013976
I guess very.

If they let Affleck write, I am guessing he mostly changed Batman stuff, and we keep hearing they are the best parts, so. No surprise the.
>>
>>81013989
MoS was, at best, passable

You legitimately don't think that a much much better Superman movie could have been made in someone else's hands? Why would you want to support such a middling depiction of Superman?
>>
>>81013989

Don't act surprised. Tons of people hated that movie. Roughly half the people who saw it hated it. You should be used to it getting shit on by now.
>>
>>81013932
But we haven't seen the fucking thing yet. Until we have, I'm supposed to take it on faith that every single one of these people is on the up and up?

There was no shitposting against DC until Avengers.

At least not here. everything was hype and speculation. And at that time, DC still had TDK.

The shitposting was mostly because DC wouldn't get their shit together and make their own universe. Then the all out war started when the "Step aside MCU" post came.

Now that DC is failing tremendously, it's obvious DC shitposters are going to feel victimized.
>>
>>81014009

Of course i think, but i still find MoS good. Not passable. Good. It has it's flaws but i still like it very much.
>>
Cancel all the upcoming movies, bring back the pre-52 and bring back Timm and Dini to make new episodes of Batman and Justice League.

Make DC great again!

My favorite part about that is how "sad" the guy was when they found out.
>The writers did an EXCELLENT job writing it, so it's worrying that he's doing that.

With how much of an actual nerd Mr. A'fflecki is, that both busts my sides and just tells me I should've have seen this kind of quality coming.
>>
>>81014015
I see your point, you value your opinion above these guys. But don't be surprised when after the initial hype and seeing some parts that stuck with you, that you realize they were not completely wrong.

It's not like the movie will suddenly become good the moment you see it.

Hardly is a badly rated movie amazing or a good movie found terrible. Maybe some people will think it's okay, but you are really hoping in vain. Lower your expectations and I assure you, you'll be happier.
>>
I can't see how anyone can throw shade at DC fans right now. If you don't feel at least a little bit sorry for them, you have no heart.
>>
>>81012937
>Are reviews actually relevant anymore?
Reviews are the only reason After Earth did not become a major success like it was looking like it would be after the first weekend.

Reviews are also what put more butts in seats for Deadpool and what took butts out of those seats for Fant4stic
>>
How do we collectively let Zach, Ben, and Henry know that no matter what it's not their fault. It's alarming how senseless critics are about capeshit. They're fucking smug bullies making money contributing NOTHING. Fucking smug cunts. If you hate the average anon I hope you fucking despise critics to your very soul.
>>
>>81014057
I can support this.
>>
>>81014098
>let Snyder know that it wasn't his fault
why are you defending shit directors

literally for what purpose
>>
>>81014098
>not Snyder's fault
But it is
>>
So if this movie wasn't made for critics or people who love movies and it wasn't made for comic fans or DC fans...just who WAS it made for?
>>
>>81014090
It pains me that if DC doesn't change their strategy ASAP, we'll be stuck with mediocre movies with an unfitting tone for a good 2-4 years.

That, and they might start being more restrictive with the tv shows that are better than these movies, like they did with some Arrow stuff.

but hey, there is always Suicide Squad. Maybe DC should just mix it up a bit and make all their movies about the villains.
>>
>>81012937
Younger people at least see some youtube videos or the RT score.

That and worth of mouth are what mostly affect movies.

The first weekend is kinda set in stone though.
>>
>>81014125

Bayformers fans.
>>
>>81014131

But what would you change? Doing a reversal and adding more quips and humor to the next movies won't help at all. Then critics will acuse WB of ripping off Marvel or FOX.
>>
>>81014125
For faceless Batman fans with money, that's who.
>>
>>81014035

Wew

I don't want it to fail, I just don't want Snyder directing anything
>>
>>81014125
I think it was made for both of those people it's just that

a) the people making these movies are talentless hacks, and
b) have absolutely no fucking clue what fans actually want
>>
>>81014171
>what is green lantern
a horrible movie panned by everyone including a majority of DC fans?
>>
>>81014124
>>81014120
I think he's making a joke about how people say shit like "let know the muslims and refugees this is not their fault". Real fucking deep.
>>
So was Drew McWeeny right then?
>>
>>81014179

I find hilarious how /co/ shield Geoff Johns from that movie's failure.
>>
>>81014161
Iono, get a competent director on the movie that can make a movie that is as serious as The Dark Knight and actually good?

You do remember The Dark Knight right? That one movie that was universally praised by everyone and didn't have a lot of quips in it?
>>
>>81014179
So easy shitposting material to use against DCfags, thanks for proving my point
>>
>>81014125
For catching up with Marvel.
>>
At what point did DC Comics become SEGA?
>>
>>81014171
>baneposting is shitposting against DC
baneposting has transcended all intentionality, anon. It exists only to exists. A conditioned reaction in the posting population to reflexively respond a coded phrase, as if it were the set up to a joke, with the punchline.
>>
>>81014090
I feel the same way about DC fans that I felt about F4 fans

I feel bad but come on son, you knew this was coming
>>
>>81014171
Baneposting was a /tv/ thing.
>>
>>81014161
Don't add quips and humor but stop the fucking depressing tone.

This movies are about superheroes, have them be heroic. That is fucking all.

From MoS and what I've read of BvS, the moments when you think "Fuck yeah, this guy is a hero" are almost non-existent.

Besides, the X-men movies sans Deadpool have been pretty serious and had little humor. It's only certain Marvel movies overplaying the humor, and they shouldn't try to go for that level anyways.
>>
>>81014125
>just who WAS it made for?
Snyder

I mean it was made for comic fans but it was made for the comic fan that would agree with Snyder
>>
>>81014215
Yes it may have transcended but it's origins are still based on /tv/ shitpostings of old
>>
>>81014197

Don't you think that critics will accept it? For example James Wan's Aquaman. I can't see that movie doing or even being made at all.
>>
>>81014209
Since the 60s.
>>
>>81014215
You're a deep guy.
>>
>>81014216
>F4 fans
For most FF 'fans" that isn't their main horse, though.
>>
>>81014161
Nobody's fucking saying to add more quips and humor. Look at all the Batman movies that were critical darlings when they came out. You can be somber as much as you want but have these characters be actual superheroes and not have a bunch of pretentious cinemetographers
>>
Zack Snyder must be 13-years old, mentally. Even his interviews come off like he's immature and unable to carry himself like a grown man.
>>
>>81014217
Yes which came to every board on 4chan which includes /co/
>>
>>81014171
It's very different when there's general shitposting than where there is explicit Marvel vs DC shitposting.

Green Lanter was shitposting a bad movie. MoS was shitposting because DC fans wouldn't shut up about it being a good movie, and baneposting has almost nothing to do with DC. It's just part of /tv/ and Bane as a character now.

wew lad, stop feeling victimized.
>>
>>81014090
Maybe they shouldn't be so annoying about their love for an inferior comic company.
>>
>>81014260
When that happened it had stopped being shitposting against DC though.
>>
If it weren't for the Marvel films, Warner wouldn't even care to make these movies. From the very beginning it's all felt very reactionary. And they seem to have an attitude of not even wanting to make them. There's no love or care in any of it. Just businessmen who know nothing about comic books making stupid decisions and caring more about action figure sales than audience and critic's reactions.
>>
>>81014266
The sad part is the movie department makes the comics department look bad.

You could make a world survey right now, and Batman aside, everyone else would rather read Marvel. Just because of the movies. And lately, most of their stuff has been pretty meh.
>>
>>81014229
They didn't even do it to shit on DC to begin with, but just to make fun of an awkward part of a movie that they blew out of proportion for comedy. Like the "Save me Tony!" jokes from when TWS was coming out. The only difference is baneposting transcended it's circumstances and became a free floating meme.

>>81014236
for there is no you, nor I, only the infinite oneness of existence
>>
>>81014263
>n-none of that shitposting was EVER directed at DC
So you're telling me literally none of that shitposting ever had to do with company wars ever in the history of /co/? OK.
>>
>>81014294
The problem is that instead of taking advantage of it, they felt the need to top and beat them with grimdark.
>>
>>81014294
You can actually see the difference when it comes to tv shows. In the tv shows, at least some comic people are involved

The TV shows suck.

Watch it and form an opinion yourself, faggot.
>>
>>81014309
You don't even need a survey. Wasn't DC's like last month's top ten selling issues on comixology literally just ten bat-related titles?
>>
>>81014316
Not most of it.

Ok.
>>
>>81014090
I'm not even a DC fan (I liked the animated shows, that's it) and I legit feel bad right now. This goes beyond schadenfreude. They've been shit on for years. And not just by Marvel fans, by the company they care about. And it sucks to see, honestly. I take no pleasure in this.
>>
>>81014343
>support a bad movie first
how about you don't do this and actually get DC to stop giving their films to Snyder?
>>
>>81014342
Arrow, Supergirl and Agents of Shield do suck. Daredevil, Agent Carter and Flash are good. Jessica Jones was meh. I haven't seen the other ones..
>>
>>81014335
Throw a die. If it comes 1 or 2, you'll kinda like it but it's meh. If not, you'll hate it.

That is what RT is saying right now.
>>
>>81014359

If this movie bombs, there won't be no more movies. If this bombs they halt everything and maybe in a few years you'll receive a new Batman reboot from some new director looking to do his own thing.
>>
>>81014348
I believe the people at DC care, it's just that they have an albatross of a meddling parent company that won't stop fucking with them.
>>
>>81014346
I bet. That and you can take a list of titles of both companies right now. Most of Marvel is Avenger themed, most of DC is Batman themed.

It has been for a while. These companies don't make comic book heroes with movies anymore, they make movie superheroes with comics.
>>
>>81014360

The only one good there is Daredevil and not by much.
>>
>>81014359
I'm only riding the wagon because it's 4 am and I'm bored.
I'm not gonna base my personal opinion of the movie on the shit someone else says, since taste it's totally subjective and I don't believe in ''''''''''''''''''professional'''''''''''''''''' critics. I form my opinions after I watch and judge the thing. This stupid threads are only good to shitpost, like sales threads in /a/.

I am a firm believer of My taste > Your taste. And you need to be a retard to stop liking something or killing your hype just because someone else didn't like it.
>>
Dear Warner, please hire actual comic book people to oversee your comic book movies.

Sincerely, Comic book fans everywhere

>>81014381
Lets just hope those Harry Potter spin-off comes out soon enough so WB stops meddling with DC and expecting them to be their next cash cow.

>>81014493
In an alternate universe, Oscar won a Batman for his movie "Zack"

what's your point?

I think being a hack is a universal constant

Only for the really special people in the Multiverse

The New 52 was absolutely 100% a corporate mandated decision brought upon by Warner. It only exists to harvest ideas for any future plans for a DC Cinematic universe. It always was, since the beginning.

No, the studio considered it a failure and gave him the boot

He turned heel and started talking about how he totally didn't even want to work with marvel anymore anyway. Most likely to save face.

God that movie was a shit show.

Because if you need to read a tie in book to understand something in the movie, you're fucking up the movie.
