Well BvS was released around 6pm CST today in the US, and since the mods still haven't made a sticky, let's try to contain all of this shit into one thread already. Remember to use spoiler tags.

Thoughts on the movie? Who did you see it with? Favorite (if any) parts? Worst parts? What do you think the future of the DCEU is?
>>
>>81172644
Plus the fact he wakes up TWICE.
>>
>>81172502
>holy fucking shit. did people really not get that Bruce was seeing stuff from an alternate future caused by Barry traveling back in time?
Considering this theatrical cut was edited by a guy with ADDHD i also only got that after finishing watching and thinking about it for a while because none of that is established and batman has more nightmares than in this than he would on fear serum.
>>
>>81162231
I hated Doomsday in this. I hated "Death of Superman" even being wedged in, and that very last shot with the dirt on the coffin... Fuck you, hack Snyder
>>
>>81172597
>Hopefully we've redefined Superman.

Yes you did, you indeed did.
>>
>>81172742
Exactly.

With all this stuff, why would anyone automatically assume it was time travel shit and not another fever dream.

One of the many hamfisted scenes that failed in execution.
>>
>>81172539
Yeah, the problem with that is that the JL aren't the Olympian gods. If anything, they are 6 Heracles's and 1 Icarus with unmeltable pair of wings.

Maybe Diana and Aquaman are indeed gods since, well, they are literal gods, but all the other ones are people who found out they have powers. Superman in particular is the fucking copy-paste of Heracles. He has to earn god-hood, not find it and deal with it.

If Snyder wanted the impact of the Greek Gods, he should've given them fitting stories that resonate with the people of now.

But the worst of it, is that he's killing DC for the long run. With these shit movies and the shit embargos they put on shows, this will be the only Superman kids will know.

Marvel heroes are cool and all, but they are too flawed or political by design for younger kids. DC heroes were always the simple ones that can be used to tell the really fucking great stories. A bunch of else-world stories are masterpieces of deconstructing characters. In 1 generation time, all they'll know from DC will be Flash and Supergirl. MAYBE. If they don't fuck that up. When was the last high-profile proper superman? JLU?

Shit, the highest point of live-action DC is the flash, and it's repetitiveness is driving it to become less interesting than fucking Marvel's worst. He's not elevating DC, he's destroying it.
>>
>>81172539
>Because why WOULD Clark want to revive Krypton?
It's a loooooong established characteristic (or was) that Superman would do anything to not be alone and have other Kyptonians with him. He's always loved his culture but even if you changed that aspect, it's like >>81171867 said

>But him denying his whole basic philosophy on good people is insane and frankly disrespectful.

Superman is the type of character that believes there's goodness in everyone because two people took him in at his most dangerious, vulnerable, unpredictable, risking their lives to give him love and a home. He'd want to revive Krypton because of he understands everyone deserves a chance and also Krypton was a culture of people. Not just comprised of idiotic, self destructive, short sighted politicians and military.

I really despise what they've turned Superman into.

>>81172807
>Have the most famous, most beloved character, an equivilent to Mickey Mouse, a cultural icon that prints money
>Okay, instead of that, let's redefine it and do something different that'll make us hemorrhage all that built up good will.
All you have to do is nothing and you win, and he can't even do that.
>>
>>81162630
I didn't really care for the casting until I saw Perks of Being a Wallflower. I'll give him his acting dues, I was impressed. He's way more pretty than handsome, but I have faith he can do it.
>>
>>81172851
Sorry, I phrased that poorly. I mean more like, if Clark had to choose between Krypton and Earth, I can't see him choosing the former.
>>
>>81162835

Thought it would've been pretty obvious even for non-comic readers that he was from the future. Especially when coupled with all the Knightmare stuff.

>>81173055
Yeah, I was ending your argument for you, not trying to correct you.

I guess that if Bruce/Lex have to be both the smartests men on the planet AND written/directed by Goyer/Terrio/Snyder, making Superman even the third smartest person in the world is a hard low bar to pass under. We should be grateful he didn't drool.

I find it sad that the movie is so financially successful.

They can basically make anything with these characters, make a giant ad campaign and people will see it regardless of quality.

Well except for Green Lantern, but that's because the campaign was weird and the costumes sucked.

Still, it's depressing that the campaign and the hype is more important than the actual product. The product rarely matters nowadays.

It was bound to be. Snyder is master of trailers. It beat pre-sale records.

Also a lot of people chose the movie at the theatre and don't even go on the internet. Batman AND Superman are VERY VERY recognizable. It still did less than both Avengers at the opening, so don't expect them to reach 1.3 of AoU. With some JUSTICE it won't go too further than 1b.
>>
>>81173280
>Then Bruce realizes that Clark just wanted to do the right thing
What would that change if we weren't dealing with movie logic? Yeah he just wants to do a right thing but doesn't change the fact that he's a super powered menace to us all, the original worry of Brucie boy.

director Zack Snyder revealed that he initially talked to executive producer Christopher Nolan about his decision to take the Man of Steel out of the equation. "It was pretty early, and [Christopher] Nolan and I had long conversation about it, a really great, sort of philosophical conversation about it. He was really cool because he played an amazing devil’s advocate about why not to do it, and then in the end was like, ‘No you’re right, it’s better to do it.’" So Nolan was initially sceptical of the idea, but what about Warner Bros.? "The studio was like, ‘What?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah but, how about I called the movie Dawn of Justice?’, and they’re like ‘Okay, okay, I like what you’re doing, I see what you’re doing.’"

Going back to why he decided Superman had to die though, the director added: "I thought for the evolution of Superman’s character, there’s a crucible that he has to go through to really embrace his humanity or find what is the ultimate thing about being human? The ultimate thing you face is your mortality, and that’s a thing that I think is really cool about this."

(about resurrection) "I’m gonna say this: the second you do the first part of it, the death and resurrection are the same thing in a weird way. You have to know. The reason I wanted to do it the way we did it is because I don’t want the audience completely off the hook with it. They still have to go like, ‘What the [frick]? Are you kidding me?’. There’s a way to signal towards a more definitive resurrection concept, but I didn’t wanna do that because I want that to be real for them when they see it, I want the experience to be real and then the sort of need to be real later on. Suffice it to say there is a plan, but that’s gonna be—you need to wait and see."

Just watched the movie a second time and I liked it more.

Also I realized The Flash didn't appear to Bruce in a dream. It was real. He wakes up but you'll notice that there's still side effects from the time travel in the Batcave such as paper being blown around.

Listen, /tv/, comics suffer the pressure of upping the ante every year, and having something big to sell. Sometimes it works pretty great, sometimes it doesn't. Mostly it doesn't.

The fact that they went for Death of Superman, one of the worst shock-for-sale stories in the first place is idiotic. Also, Dark Knight Returns is a good story, but it works mostly as a standalone story where characters are pretty much streched to their extreme for the purpose of the story and not continuity, which is the opposite of this fucking movie's whole point to begin with.

Overall, This movie is a whole mess of capeshit. Sure, It had it's moments (the titular fight is one) but the first 45 minuts were just boring outside of batman doing detective work. Eisenberg murdered Luthor's character, I just couldn't take him seriously. Doomsday, on the other hand, felt like an actual threat.

That's how I feel about this movie and Lois Lane. Oh, Lex Luthor's making a huge discovery? BETTER CUT TO LOIS LANE WORRYING ABOUT SUPES. Oh Batman and Superman are finally fighting? BETTER CUT TO LOIS LANE WORRYING ABOUT SUPES.

Fuck, she even invaded the Doomsday fight just so we could watch her be useless and almost drown.

She said Sif was the closest character from the MCU to wonder woman. She's not wrong, since there's really no competition. Who would it be, black Widow?

Unless you make the case for Thor, which wasn't the point of the question, she's right.

She's also got a better face and body for her too.

I have a quote for you, too!
>As Goyer is one of the people in charge of bringing the DC Universe to live action, this was definitely a topic where his ideas carried weight. In response to being asked about the hero, Goyer asked, “How many people in the audience have heard of Martian Manhunter?” After hearing some light applause and cheers, he added, “How many people that raised their hands have ever been laid?”
> After this, Goyer explained his take on the hero: “Well, he hasn’t been rebooted but he’s a mainstay in the Justice League. He can’t be fucking called the Martian Manhunter because that’s goofy. He can be called Manhunter… The whole deal with Martian Manhunter is he’s an alien living amongst us… So he comes down to Earth and decides, unlike Superman who already exists in the world now, that he’s just going to be a homicide detective… So instead of using super-powers and mind-reading and like, oh, I could figure out if the President’s lying or whatever, he just decides to disguise himself as a human homicide detective. Dare to dream!”
>Goyer went on: “I would set it up like The Day After Tomorrow. We discover one of those Earth-like planets… So maybe like… we get the DNA code from that planet and then grow him in a petri dish here… He’s like in Area 51 or something and we’re just basically… doing biopsies on him. Then he gets out and he’s really angry and he fucks She-Hulk.”

Doesn't even mention Lois or Wondy? Bitter virgin identified.

Saw it today with normie friends who loved it and couldn't understand the hate. First third was pretty funny and light. Second third had alot of Luthor messing with supes and bats indirectly and some dream sequences that set up the next movie and other crazy shit. Last third two intense fights and funeral shit. God tier soundtrack. I'd say its pretty good 6 or 6.5 /10 easily. I have no doubt the movie will break some records.

For the love of god stop blaming snyder, especially for this film. This was the perfect superhero film, and if you didn't understand it or found it flawed, that means you weren't paying attention. I hate retards who assume a movie is shit because the plot wasn't spoon fed to them. The editing was fine, and snyder did the best that he could to include everyone. If you want someone to blame, blame WB for deciding to skip straight to a prequel for Justice League instead of doing standalone films and building it up. But who am I kidding, people are always going to complain no matter what. I really hope he stays for Justice League.

I hope it does well. Whatever you think BvS's other flaws may be, if this movie fails, the take home message from directors and studios will be that every superhero movie must be "fun," though judging from the response of Wan, who was originally going to construct an Aquaman movie influenced by Lovecraftian horror, it might already be to late. I hope Wan's just bullshitting and that his definition of "fun" is the one he's applied to his prior works, but I've heard the same about the Wonder Woman movie and the tone of the Suicide Squad has, understandably, been compared to that of Guardians of the Galaxy. If Marvel, DC, and Fox all double up, homogeneously, on the quips to please the critics, I'm personally done with Western cape, outside of comics.

The weird Flash dream sequence thing literally has no impact on the plot of the movie.

I admit that he lacks the friendliness of usual Superman; but this Superman saved Lex Luthor in the movie even after he tried to have him, his mother, Bruce and Lois killed.

Superman even stopped fighting to save "Lois" and gave up investigating Batman to save that girl from a fire. His actions show that saving lives is his number one goal.

I would have changed the scene where he saved Lois from the Dictator into a scene with him at least trying to talk the guy out of the situation before resorting to violence.

But yeah, I meant few as in a bunch of them. They do have the luxury of proper writers and picking from the best of the material, so I don't think that the MCU has a better version of some of those characters' best iterations.
For example, DnA Starlord is (at least arguably) better than Gunn's, but if you're averaging it with Bendis, then yeah.

Which Cap and Falcon do for sure.

I just saw it and man, it's bad. It's awful dog shit until Batman and Superman fight then it gets pretty good, but it's too little too late. I mean, getting good towards the end doesn't make up for the first hour and a half being utter crap. Although, when Bats and Supes are duking it out I started to enjoy the rest of this movie. except for the part about Supes dying, that was pretty dumb

I'd give it a 4/10.

I didn't have a lot of hype going in to this because it's a sequel to MoS, that's written and directed by the same guys. I didn't really care much for MoS (I'd give it a 5/10), but I was hoping this would be better.

This movie has killed what little enthusiasm I had for the DCEU.

What can save the absolute madman Lex Luthor?

I want to believe that Darkseid was manipulating him into manipulating Batman into killing Superman because Superman is the biggest threat to Darkseid. I also want to believe that the reason had the nightmare about the Omega symbol and became so cold and cruel was due to Darkseid's influence.

>>81176545
I don't think so, I think WB knew he was bad before it hit theaters. That's why on FB they did a little promo thing that revealed his characters full name is Alexander Luther Jr.

He's going to get the same treatment of Count Vertigo from Arrow. They'll get rid of Jesse Lex somehow and replace him with the "real" Lex Luthor played by a different actor.

It would take too much; then he needs a reason he gave up his company to his son that he abused. What is his motivation for hating Superman; because he put his annoying son in jail?

I think it'd be too much. Prison needs to change Lex or as I said before. I hope Lex was being influenced by Darkseid and it was making him unstable.

Given the context of how badly CW screwed him up though, Peter is as good as we're going to get. He's European and his real name is Werner. All they need to do now is give him an implant that causes the vertigo effect, drop the drug dealer shtick, and find out he's an actual count.

Nigga two years later and you still don't get the context of that line? He was telling him to not save people in general, but that right now was not the right time. All the other flashbacks show that he needs to be mentally ready for the time he shows himself to the world. Okay, he didn't straight up say become a hero. But he does say he needs to decided whether to stand beside the human race or not.

You know what I want? A Green Arrow show that with a likable, Robin Hood style vigilante that doesnt take 4 seasons to get his name. I want a show that has Roy as his sidekick, Black Canary as the occasional team up, and possible Diggle as the normal guy whos just acts a public face bodygaurd, not a weird vigilante. A show with no oracle knockoff, where Deathstroke is the worlds greatest merc and not some whiny mastermind, where Merlyn has a rivalry with Oliver for the sport of it, and Count Vertigo is an actual threat. But seeing how hell is still burning I dont see that coming anytime soon

This is the biggest problem I have with the movie. I could ignore literally everything else, but this movie's tone is just so fucking grim. It wasn't even the dark gritty tone that the Nolan movies were going for, this movie was just fucking sad. This Superman isn't charismatic or heroic, he just fucking mopes around, even when he's saving people. This Superman didn't vow to find out the perpetrator of the bombing at the hearing, he went into HIDING. He smiles exactly twice in this movie, right before he liquefies the guy pointing a gun at Lois in the beginning, and when he's getting in the tub with Lois. That's literally it.

What a sad direction to take Superman in, of all characters. Usually Superman is there to contrast with Batman but this time they're both depressed and angry assholes. This becomes so bad that the characters who are there to very sparsely provide a little relief feel totally out of place. Alfred has a few quips in his five minutes of screentime but it feels so by-the-numbers. It's like someone was writing his lines and said, "Oh right, Alfred is supposed be, like, witty, right? I better give him a few witty lines." And unfortunately the times Lex tries to be funny almost always overlap with the times Lex is being a spastic fucktard. Even the movie itself can't escape this shit. Almost every shot is either dark as fuck or totally washed out. I can't believe they managed to make a vibrant red and blue suit dull.

This movie is so depressing scenes from Man of Steel with Superman smiling and laughing felt like a breath of fresh air.

Murderman v Captain Hypocrite: Dawn of Depression indeed.

DC has been playing catchup since 2007 when the first Ironman was done, and by the time the Dark Knight trio was over and done Marvel had basically set up the future of capeshit movies. All the hype over BvS is overrated, they only fight for ten minutes. Granted, it only lasted that long simply because Batman had prep time + dollar store ironman getup. How did snyder ome to the conclusion that a scene where batman ALMOST gets the Macguffin was better than when he actually gets it.

The flash dream sequence, although a big set up for future films, is also a warning to batman in the current plot. When he says "it's about lois lane, save lois" it gives batman the idea that clark kent is superman. Not only that, but it is also one of the reasons why he hesitated in killing superman when he saw her. That is one example. Would you like another example, seeing as you're accustomed to people spoon-feeding you the information.

BvS is the most glorious mess i've ever seen. In pure tone, it resembles a David Lynch horror more than anything else. This is an emotionally shocking film that honestly left me confused and flabbergasted. Not because i didn't understand the plot, but just how this kind of adaptation could ever be made. It's the most unforgivingly brutal superhero film i've ever seen. And what's worse is that it has so much good crammed in it mixed with absolute dogshit. It gives me a masochistic sense of joy to think about this joy.

It feels like this movie came from an Earth where all hope has died, like Darkseid himself made this film. It's a genuinely frightening film that I feel raped me. And I want more. I want to see it again.. I want the justice league.

>>
>>81178304

>except DC released two hits all the way back

Ok, I will happily admit the original sups and bat shows were good. Great, even. Then marvel decided they needed to catch up. Then they came out with crap shows for their star heros, the only one worth mentioning being the Incredible Hulk series. DC then dominated film and cinema, which they completely fucked with shitpiles like Batman Returns + Batman and Robin but never fully recovered from. Their animation is still Top Tier, both Superman and Batman animated holds up well today.
DC Shit the bed in the early 2000s. They couldn't follow up their animated shows well enough, and Superman Returns managed to be WORSE than BatClooney. The Dark Knight is great, but movie goers were pretty much fed up with DC's shit that when Marvel dropped Iron Man in 2007, they checked it out and thought it was breddy gud. Then Marvel proceeded to dump their entire A-list catalog, Mix in some B-C listers here and there, pump out movies regularly, and fondle themselves all the way to the bank while DC spilling spaghetti thinking the Dark Knight is still making them money.

BvS is over three hours long. It feels even longer. A Comparable hero teamup flick like The Avengers managed to do it right, add a bit of quality, and make a pile of monies in the process. No symbolism that flies over the cinemagoers heads, just some good old fashion capeshit.

Notice anything yet?

The situation has completely flipped now. Iron 2,3, and Thor may not be good, and compared to the Nolan Trioligy are shit, but the fact that both sequels were greenlighted, tied into future releases, and more importantly took customer revenue while putting the brand out there.

Went to see BvS tonight.

Here's what I thought:

First half of the movie was like watching a setup. Imagine watching an episode of your favorite TV series, and the whole episode isre-telling of what already happened.

Despite the fact that BvS was all new, it felt like the whole first half of the movie, was fragmented and shot as though it was supposed to tell a story that already happened.

It wasn't until the whole Doomsday sequence, that it felt like an actual film, where the storyline and scenes were happening in real-time.

Even with this, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait to see Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, and the rest of the Justice Lice come to fruition.
>>
>>81179557
I really enjoyed watching the destruction of Metropolis through Bruce's PoV. How'd you feel about that?
That seemed like a decent enough motivation to distrusting and disliking Superman.
>>
>>81173718
You realize that less than half of the foreign haul goes to the studio, right? Depending on country, they manage to knock it down to even 1/4 of the BO total.
>>
>>81179609

It definitely felt like Bruce's PoV was justified. It echo'd what everyone else was thinking back when Man of Steel was first being shown in theatres; that there was significant collateral damage and destruction being done which was a result of the savage battle between Supes and Zod.

You can't blame any sane human, let alone Affleck's Batman, from being biased against one man armies like Superman.

Its just too much power for one man to have at any given moment.
>>
>>81179609
Not that anon but I thought it was a really great way to start off the movie. I really liked how it took distant shockwaves, crashes and destruction and echoed them towards the characters. It made it all feel so much more powerful that these "gods" are fighting.
>>
Just saw it. Its weird, people keep saying this movie is a bunch of hills and valleys, but i felt like it was a C- effort beginning to end, with a little bright spot being batfleck's takedown of the Lex guys.

Did not have a lot of hype for this movie but I can see how someone who did could really come out hating how it end up.
>>
>>81179880
I'd give it a 65-70
>>
I don't know if anyone talked about this or thought about it but what's stopping Lex from saying "Clark Kent is Superman and Bruce Wayne is Batman. Don't believe me because I'm insane and in prison, fine hahahahaha I'm no boy who cried wolf. Want to know what the oldest lie in America is? Well I'll tell you what's true. Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne like to play dress up at night"

Typing that was painful. I don't like Lex having tabs on Meta humans. There's no good reason for him to keep their identities secret. If he wants to fuck up Superman's life just reveal that he is Clark Kent. Martha Kent will constantly be threatened and bombarded by the press and the same for Lois Lane. Clark Kent wouldn't be able to work anymore at the Daily Planet.

I think it goes to what Luther said at his party. He sees power in knowledge. And he wants all the power. He's keeping that knowledge so that he can be the sole person to wield that power. He wants to be the one in control of the knowledge/power. Which is why he enjoys creating misconceptions to incriminate supes rather than just blowing the whistle on his identity. He doesn't just want to win. He wants to be the winner.

The first half drags on way too long. Bruce comes off as a psychotic asshole and Clark comes off as a whiny baby.

> Waah, how dare that one man not peacefully stop an alien invasion by people with the same powers he had and alien technology!

> Waah, how dare that mean bat brand those sex slave traders! Clearly this is the greatest Injustic and the only thin I should be focusing on right now!

The dream sequences were awkward and for the most part worthless aside from the Flash's message from the future. Also were those winged guys supposed to be parademons?

Lex wasn't Lex. As a quirky whimsical asshole he was fine, but Lex isn't a quirky whimsical asshole to me.

The actual fights were pretty good save for the continued bullshit that is Supes beating Batman. I like Bruce way more than I do Clark, but there's no reason He should be able to stand up to Supes even with prep time other than Superman just being written as a retard.

People were walking out. Fucking walking out. I've never experienced that before. Holy shit the movie was a wreck. And fuck Lex, shittiest character ever.

He was the only reason I didn't walk out of the movie. Everytime I'd almost get up to leave he'd do something and I'd want to wait just a little longer. That's impressive to me, that a single guy could keep my ass in the seat from how good he was despite how completely done I was with everything else. I want as many solo Batfleck movies as possible now because he's GOAT Batman.

I think that comic book movies are a bubble bound to fail. If you think about it, how would you feel if comic books consisted of photos of posing people against CGI backgrounds? The medium doesn't translate well to film.

Sure, you can get huge returns at the box office thanks to the Transformers effect. But still, I don't think movies can accurately adapt comic book themes or storylines very well, without looking like cheap special effects meant to conceal shitty editing, writing and storytelling.

So wait, how long was Lex intercepting that guy's checks? And writing shit on them and sending them back? Shit that Bruce Wayne just happened to see because he saw the hearing on TV?

Like, Luthor based his plan on Bruce seeing that and getting pissed off at Batman, didn't he? He screams about it on the helipad. But it was sheer luck that he ended up seeing them.

Also why did they show Batman chasing after the truck and mowing people down but failing to get the kryptonite, and then totally skip the scene where he ACTUALLY gets the kryptonite?

>>81180214
That's why you're supposed to adapt them, annoying as it is and all the complaints you hear of things like LotR saying 'the book was better' you have to take certain hits so that they can actually make for an enjoyable movie.
Comics happen to already basically have a pretty solid visual storyboard already there to work off of, and very long publication histories to draw any inspiration from.

Snyder is just a hack apparently, all style no substance or something, which is nice for making commercials perhaps, but a movie spanning several hours?
>>
>>81180263
They wrote the Riddlerest Lex Luthor they could. I think he's a pretty decent villain actually. But he just doesn't strike me as Lex Luthor. He's just an unhinged smart guy.
>>
>>81180278
For the first part; I think Lex says it he spent awhile manipulating Batman.

I'm assuming pissed off at Superman. The guy lived a bit of poor lifestyle. Lex must have been intercepting majority of his checks. Then he could easily bribe a Wayne employee or even insert his own into Bruce's company and have the letter given to Bruce at the right time. For Lex, the right time was when he was going to set off the bomb during the Senate hearing.

For the last part. I agree; hope it's a scene in the Blu-Ray.

ALL I WANTED WAS ANOTHER GOOD SUPERMAN MOVIE ABOUT SUPERMAN DOING ADVENTURING THINGS AND FINALLY FACING A NON-LUTHOR VILLAIN LIKE BRAINIAC OR METALLO AND SHIT

ALL I GOT WAS BATMAN™ FANWANKING AND SETUPS TO FUTURE DCEU™ MOVIES FEATURING MAN OF STEEL™ FROM MAN OF STEEL SERIES™

FUCK MY LIFE
>>
>>81177930
ripoff
>>
I stepped out of the theater after watching Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice™ and literally fell to my knees and thrust my arms into the air.

"SNYDER!!!!" I cried.

I cried so much for the first time in my life.

I went in to the movies jaded and cynical after reading all the /tv/ posts how much Snyder was a hack, Man of Murder, Stop my invincible son and expected absolutely trash from the movie but I was wrong. So wrong.

I couldn't believe the masterpiece I had just witnessed. I felt like throughout the entire film Snyder himself was speaking to me, thru Metropolis and Gotham, his love and dedication was there. He assured me that a new era of cape movies has arrived, a new era to save us from these lackluster regurgitated capeshit movies we are accustomed to.

During the battle with Doomsday, the people around me were so enthralled and were convulsing and speaking in tongues, their spit and tears flying everywere, some landing on me, but I didn't care. I was already in full spasm from the orgasmic capekinography I was seeing.

As the movie ended, everyone in the cinema cried. Like wailing and sorrowful crying. Nobody said a word but everyone in there had the same feeling. "Forgive us Snyder for we do not know what we have done"

In all seriousness this a solid 12/10.

I'm still wiping my tears as I try to relive that moment, I'm afraid I will never experience this exhilarating joy and sadness ever again in my life.


Thank you Snyder... Thank you...

I don't think he's "afraid" of it at all. I think throwing the obvious symbolism in there doesn't harm anything, because as you said, the parallels are easily recognized. I think the fact they scheduled the movie to premiere on Good Friday is hilarious as fuck, if it was intentional.

Just got back from it, we all agreed it was just alright. The pacing was all over the place, it dragged for too long, the climax was exciting but it took too god damn long to get there.

Also entirely too many unneccesary scenes. We really did not need such long nightmare sequences, nor the scene with Pa Kent nor Lois giving back the bullet. They didn't advance the plot or reveal more about the characters.

Alright, what. Did he just make a u-turn after he had the stupid imaginary talk with his father? Was that whole scene leftover from MoS? He just happened to be around in time to be able to save Lois? When did he take the time to shave? Was he just like, "Well, you're right, dad. I guess there IS good in the world. I'm really glad I just happened to imagine this conversation with you at this very moment, this hike was definitely worth it. I better shave, put my suit on and turn around now!"

Like, what if Superman was still on his hike when Lois got pushed off the building? What if he didn't have an imaginary conversation with his father when he did?

So here is where I think it wasn't just a matter of poor direction but problems with the script. Much of the exposition could have been condensed had the scenes been rewritten.

The most obvious example to me is the scene where the senator is telling Lex his permit had been denied. Yeah, shit on the direction but the script had lots of redundant dialog.

My main gripe is that there really wasn't enough interaction between Supes and Batman. I wanted to see Superman trying to befriend Bruce with his sense of optimism and friendship and Batman being a cranky old paranoid fart. The film didn't give them enough screen time together to build up their antagonism.

Got to say that the audience reaction to Wonder Woman was very positive, her entrance (in saving Bats) was the only thing in the film that actually got people cheering and clapping.

I agree she doesn't really look like Wonder Woman, she'd make a great Catwoman (hey, Catwoman likes antiquities too), but I don't feel very negative about her taking the role. She was serviceable and will do fine so long as she has a good cast to buoy her and a good script to work off. But I think Snyder is directing her film too so eh.

Batfleck was GOAT. The fucking part where he saves the asian chicks from the sex traffickers. The cop is looking around and you see him hanging on the wall staring at him. He was legit terrifying!

>Self righteous bullshit

Why do people get so up their own ass and preachy when it comes to Superman. Get over the fact that some feel he is boring. Not because he is some ultimate good guy or whatever. Because he is an all powerful godlike being who cannot be hurt.

It's inherently boring to me. Batman isn't cool because he broods. He is cool because he trained to be in peak physical condition, as opposed to being born with it. A great fighter yet someone like Bane , Lady Shiva or even Cass can hand him his ass. He's not invincible

He is a detective, often can outsmart his enemies where Supes just mostly punches shit till it's knocked out or whatever and that's about it. ( or at least it's how he is mostly portrayed.)

Yeah he saves kittens from trees and helps old ladies cross the street and that is good. I am glad such a character exists, but i have no real interest in him. I went to BVS to see Batman in action.

To be honest one can easily transition this superman into the boyscout everyone is used to quite easily.

Is Superman much much stronger in this movie than in man of steel? He took a beatdown from Zod and nappa and radditz but .. his speed, heat vision intensity, and taking a nuclear blast in the face is on a whole other level. Is he getting stronger because he's been experimenting more with his powers? Is it because by now he's been on the Earth under the Sun for a pretty long time now? Is it because he, being a naturally born Kryptonian, has access to the full potential of his race while Zod and the others have been genetically handicapped by the Kryptonian government to establish control over their world? Is this why Zod tries to usurp them?

Not really. He doesn't do anything spectacular, nothing indicates the nuke wouldn't have worked before, and Doomsday still wails on him like he's a sack of potatoes.

That's probably what I hate most about these movies, Superman gets kicked around like crazy but it never actually matters. I feel like the most powerful character in the universe could just pound him into the ground until the crater was a mile deep and he would just shake it off.

You're confusing "spectacular" with "good".

Spectacular is derived from "spectacle". It's just a word that means attention grabbing; flashy and noisy. So in that sense, yes, the Doomsday fight is spectacular, because it's a 15 foot monster and a bunch of explosions and energy weapons and shit.
>>
>>81183186
>Later he does a beam struggle with doomsday

And is promptly beaten? And there's nothing really firm about Doomsday's beams or how the beams interact in a beam struggle so you can't really judge anything based on what the beams would be able to cut through.

You know, Captain America was kinda able to be a nice guy you could root for and felt good about in his origin movie, and in its sequel, and in two ensemble pieces written by Whedon, a man without a single genuine-good-guy bone in his body and is more comfortable writing snarky cynical characters, so I'm not sure why they can't do it with Superman...

Nobody knows Captain America whereas Superman has the baggage of fame and everyone "knows" he's a nice guy already.

Well there you go. I imagine that particular batman doesn't care about the humanization of having a mother has on his mortal enemies, whereas this one it does matter, so I can only conclude that BvS Batman somehow does not know that most of the criminals he's murdering have mothers, which would humanize them in his eyes and render him unable to murder them.

Hype for the epic conclusion of Steve/Bucky bromance, more than the rest of it. Panther's there, though and I suppose that should be fun, and muh waifu Wanda. I just hope it doesn't feel overstuffed. Generally, one of these stories doesn't just feel over-complicated because here are a lot of characters, it's because all the elements don't come together to form a single, focused narrative. The Russos have accomplished that before, so hopes are moderately high.
>>
>>81182226
Yeah, Superman is so tense and uncomfortable like 98% of the time in MoS and BvS, and if you can show him start to get a little more comfortable and relaxed in his position in the world, you can easily portray him as the boyscout. This ALMOST was shown when he was like "This is my world..."
However, I was hoping they would get to that after MoS and not 3 movies later.

Just finished watching this and I honestly don't know why people are so mad about this movie. Did they actually expect Snyder to stop being Snyder? Did they actually seriously Jesse Eisenberg to actually be a good characterization of Lex Luthor? Did anyone think for one second Man of Murder would stop being Man of Murder? I went in expecting this movie to be crap, and I wasn't disappointed.

I got exactly what I payed for, and was actually somewhat entertained by it. There were actually one or two minor scenes that struck me as being very well done, despite the kinda retarded plot holes/writing.

The better question is why the fuck was Batman just fingering his asshole INSTEAD of getting the spear, when that was his explicitly stated intention, and he was totally fucking useless against Doomsday.

All issues with this movie aside why do superhero movies have to have a single tone?

Why is that a thing? Isn't that boring and limiting for the genre?
>>
The story was garbage. There's a few plot holes here and there but they can be over-looked.
Afleck wasn't that bad as Batman. I was pleasantly surpirsed as everything I've seen him as in the past was shit. I wouldn't mind seeing more of him but work does need to go into it. He became less and less active as the movie went on.
Cavill's supes was a little bit more likeable for me. I wasn't much of a fan of Man of Steel, but I don't outright dislike it either.
I still wish Gadot was toned. She doesn't need to bulk up because I know too many people dislike that, but seeing some muscle would be nice. Aside from that, there's not much to comment on because all of her appearances were pretty pointless. She didn't really need to be there, bringing about as much as Flash or Aquaman to the story.
The fight between Batman and Superman should have been the hypest or second at the least fight in the movie. It's what the title was about, it what we were told to expect, and it's what everything was leading up to and it was lack luster as all hell.

Overall, I'd give it a 5/10. The action was cool, the cgi was good looking. It's nowhere near as bad as everyone led it to be but it's not good either. There's just too much in the story itself that lets it down.

>>81184878

Batman is a master of stealth, he could have easily slipped away while Supes and WW were keeping Doomsday busy. And besides, doing the tactical side of the plot is where Bats belongs in JL stories. He doesn't fight the final boss, he retrieves the mcguffin.

Obligatory 'I saw it earlier today and...' post

I saw it earlier today and prior to it I was riding the whole "ROTTEN!!! 30%!!! ZACK THE HACK!!! JUST!!!" train while the critics were pouring in... and the movie proved me wrong. I'd give it an 8 out of 10.

Some complaints:

>Doomsday needed more spikes
>>
>>81186792
>Editing was iffy in the first act
It was outright bad. They were constantly juggling and switching to other plotlines after every other minute. There were no establishing shots to show where the fuck we were, probably because there probably wasn't any time to cram them in. It felt like the movie was going down a checklist to set up the movie.

In other words, it's only a problem because autistic comic fans can no longer jerk off to their fantasies about a specific favorite storyline being adapted. Most live action Batman stories end with the villain dying due to Batman's own actions, either directly or by proxy, so how is this now suddenly an issue?

I kinda enjoyed it.

It handled Superman better than Man of Steel, Batman was great (excellent Alfred), the action was sweet.

The general complains I've found are all valid. It is a disjointed narrative of scenes that don't really flow, and the world building is shoehorned as fuck.

I think it improves on the flaws MoS had, but still retains them all the same.

No, bad pacing isn't a buzzword in itself, but it's being used around when people talk about this film without realling developing their argument any further. That's the definition of a buzzword.

The theatrical cut has SERIOUS editing problems, I'm with you fully on that. But the pacing doesn't make the film confusing at ALL. Scenes feel out of place, and lots of things seem to get arbitrary levels of development. Some things are exploined more than they apparently should, some things get less development than their apparent significance in the overarching plots.

Most of these issues though do not affect the understand of the film AND is something VERY common in most modern blockbusters. The same thing is witnessed in films like Age of Ultron, for example. It's not something you lead your mostly negative review of a film with. A film can still be pretty good despite this, as this one was.

Most of these problems, though, have already been confirmed to be caused by the studio last minute decision to cut the movie more than 30 minutes short. I'm pretty confident, from what I heard of the final cut, that it will greatly alleviate these weird transitions and the overall flow of the piece.

I don't think he planned on going against Darkseid at all. He probably wanted to erase the "blip" on Darkseid's radar.

And as to what he'd do after all was said and done? Probably the latter. I don't think he was thinking ahead that much, Doomsday was really a last ditch effort to take Supes down.

Who is ready for some fresh Snyder retardation? Here he explains why that ending happened.

https://youtu.be/3XD-UMLLCGY

>Superman has to die to find his humanity
>Bayman has to be the one to assemble the Justice League, so Superman can't be around while this happens.
>Nolan and the studio didn't want me to kill Superman, so I decided to call the film Dawn of Justice, that made everything alright.
>>
>>81188588
And there's four more years of this shit to deal with
>>
>>81188588
What is he even talking about?
His dying was how the EARTH found his humanity.
Fucking Snyder
>>
>>81188506
Maybe but then you're basically nitpicking over how much more than a /billion/ dollars they'll make off of it.
>>
>>81188588
>Superman has to die to find his humanity

I think it's less how he finds his OWN humanity, rather than how he proves finally just how much he's willing to sacrifice to help others and his adopted world.

Throughout the whole movie, Superman's main struggle is getting people to accept him not as a God, or as an Anti-Christ figure, but as just a guy who's trying to do the best he can. And it's finally when he dies taking down Doomsday that people realize that (look at the monument in Metropolis where they wrote "if you want to see his monument, look around", they mean look at the people who unite and can understand the shared the humanity with him)

I understand what Snyder means, but the impression I got was that this movie was less about Superman still on a personal journey, and more about how he convinces other people to trust him as a hero.

This is a threat?

the opening was good, but I don't think it will do the 1 billion they want, unless civil war and jungle book fail big
>>
One of my favorite things from this movie was how it finally showed Batman's internal struggle/psychological issue with losing his parents. It had never been mentioned on the big screen besides "a criminal killed his parents, it pushes him to fight against them". And it didn't need it to actually be said either, just through actions and emotion was fine.
>>
>>81188732
>But he never acts like a guy. He never tried to argue his own case. He behaved like a strange unapproachable alien

He goes around continually trying to save people. From natural disasters, from fires, from accidents, etc. That whole montage of him rescuing people was him trying to help people judge him by his own ACTIONS, like his mom wants him to, but all the monologues in the background show that people still just project their own fears, expectations and insecurities ONTO him regardless.

I think it was a shock-wave through time that made the last few seconds replay of him waking up. It happened so fast he just chalked it up to a bad dream and really he had no reason to question it.
>>
>>81188906

The Knightmare sequence wasn't JUST a dream either, it was pretty much a premonition of the Earth under Darkseid's rule, although obviously it's fueled in part by Batman's paranoia of Superman.

Same deal with Flash's message. Bruce wasn't fully "awake" for it, but it still was a real thing that happened.

I have no issues with Batman being brutally callous. If anything, the movie sets him up as a foil for Lex, in that he's starting to fall into the same mindset of being willing to sacrifice anyone for his vision of the world, which does not include Superman in it.

At the same time, you have Alfred constantly at his side telling him to calm the fuck down, look for another less-destructive path, to step back from the brink.

Batman is increasingly nihilistic about the value of human life in this movie, and it shows in how he deals with his opponents and how he picks his fights.

This is classic Lex, one who sees humanity as just a bunch of resources to be used, who look for a strong leader to guide them rather than take control of their own lives. Despite all his rhetoric about what humanity can accomplish without Superman, he's always only wanted to be the one to pull the levers to control them.

There are plenty of good reasons for character motivations and plot events in the movie.

Supes did not kill in this movie (except for Doomsday). He never was intending to Batman in his fight against him. He went in trying to resolve it in another way, and Batman was the one who went in with the intention to kill.

But the movie is not a financial success. It's bombing financially as we speak. It's going to struggle to make over 800 million.
That 400+ million opening and other bullshit is just playing around with metrics of what you consider a success. Taken the simultaneous release on all markets this movie is under performing. It already bombed in China.
At this point I am not sure it's trolling or there are people that desperate and fucked-up they will defend this piece of crap, go watch it dozen times and make two dozen fake accounts on imdb.

1. The only reason why you hear BvS made X amount of $$$ this weekend is because it opened SIMULTANEOUSLY at the same everywhere around the world this weekend which is extremely unusual.

2. BvS blew its load this week worldwide and it has no other bullets in its chamber as there are no other movie markets for it to open in. Its $400+ million it made this week is it and it will struggle to climb to $1 Billion as the poor reviews & poor word-of-mouth come in.

3. The biggest market outside of the US for Hollywood films is China. So what happens in China matters just as much as what happens in the US. BvS is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay underperforming in China and it will barely make $100 Million.

Look at the level of scrutiny and questioning Supes is faced with as he tries his best to be a hero. It bugs him that here's another hero in a costume with great talent and resources who gets a free pass to do whatever the fuck he wants and flaunts the law. People conplain that Superman answers to no authority, and Supes accepts that's a problem, but he ALSO applies those same expectations and standards of conduct to what Batman is doing and sees he doesn't measure up.

Both Batman and Superman project their own failings and insecurities onto each other.

In dropping 55% from its $82 million Friday debut to its $37 million gross on Sunday, it pummeled all prior records for weakness in theatrical staying power.

People don't give a single flying fuck on who's involved in making a movie, the age of great directors and actors is long gone. There are no more Tom Cruises or Steven Spielbergs out there. If you ask the average movie goer, they'll probably say that BvS was directed by Christopher Nolan. And while people don't care for the average critic, they do tend to have at least one source they follow and respect. Whether it be RT, IMDB, the Escapist, some rando Youtuber; people like having opinions that re-inforce theirs.

The only point I agree with is that people follow what's interesting, but even then, people know when something is shit. That's why there are so many Blockbuster flops.

I wrote up something about Batman and his dream sequences in this movie that got pretty fucking Hypercrisis-y.

So, I think it was an interview with Terrio where he mentioned that Batman is sort of like an oracle in how he receives these dreams and premonitions, and some people said it was stupid, but I actually think Batman is a natural fit for that role because he already is a traveler between worlds (street-level vs Justice League, dark vs. light, his dual identities).

An oracle in greek myth is someone who travels to the realm of the gods and back. A shaman or mystic or mediator in other systems of belief serves the same purpose. Batman is our representation in this Congress and thus is made privy to that knowledge on a smaller, worldly scale.

Batman's character arc in the movie relies on him moving past personal crusades and obsessions into seeing the larger universe and becoming a player in that larger scope.

This is his initiation rite, his vision quest.

So looking at all the dream sequences in the movie, the Batman ones need to be contextualized better within the frame of the narrative, but I would still keep them around to enforce this theme. Alternatively though, the one with Jonathan Kent needs to be cut entirely. It serves no unique purpose or importance to SUPERMAN'S character arc, and only serves to confuse this running theme of Batman's dream sequences.

A two and a half (possibly three hours when the extended cut comes out) hour movie, and Superman only smiles in the beginning. Why does anyone think that's okay
>>
>>81191085
I think the reason he mostly didn't click as Luthor for me is his lack of compsure. I always picture Luther as suave, Charismatic, and professional.
The Luther in this movie is a bit excited and a bit all over the place, while having a different kind of charisma where people find him charming despite the fact that he also seems a bit socially awkward. Which is why I feel like Luther evolving into the Luther we know was meant to be a gradual thing. Because the pieces are there. Just not the right motivation and sophistication to bring us a full Luther performance.

I wonder how they're bringing Superman back after being stabbed in the heart. Originally, Superman died by being punched, making it plausible that he wasn't really dead/could be resuscitated. How do you un-stab a heart? How is this not going to be the dumbest thing ever? Also, BAGPIPES, why bagpipes? Bagpipes are traditionally for cops and firefighters from the North East US, not for superheroes. Bagpipes make such a horrible wail, it just killed the "Superman just died" mood.

>>81190790

Batman being an oracle is stupid as hell. You give the most irrational character the vaguest message, because the plot needs him to overreact. A good time traveler sends a message to the most people possible, or at least at a time where there's no room for confusion.

Pic is what is likely Snyder's attempt at reproducing Kirby Dots.

What this scene also does, if placed back into the extended cut, is make the painting that Lex has in his study much more unsubtle.

Agreed, but those moments where he gets steel faced, such as sending Senator Finch to her death, or when finally getting what he needs with Zod's corpse, echo true.

>If many won't kill God THE DEVIL WILL DO IT!

So, since Doomsday is the devil, Darkseid will be the antichrist, coming in framing himself as a savior, and everyone but Batman will believe him, right?

I actually liked the Senator's death scene because It took me a minute to understand the jar's significance.
I really wish that scene had gotten a bigger reaction out of superman instead of grimacing. That feels like a scene that would've brought him to tears or something. He just kinda frowns for a bit.

Nigga, he said this right before he goes to kill Batman. At the time he still hasn't figured out what he's going to do, he only knows what Lex wants him to do. This is another way for Snyder to try to make Superman relatable, by making Supes come up on top, when Superman should always be above these things.

>Things were far worse in North America than in China. You couldn’t have emptied North American theaters where the movie screened faster if you’d yelled ‘fire’ in the middle of the auditoriums.

>Batman v Superman has set a new record for the worst Friday-to-Sunday drop for a superhero movie release in modern North American box office history. In dropping 55% from its $82 million Friday debut to its $37 million gross on Sunday, it pummeled all prior records for weakness in theatrical staying power. It even beat the nearly universally reviled and now long-forgotten Fantastic Four reboot, which dropped a comparatively modest 48% across its opening weekend in the summer of 2015.

I will say, one of the things I liked about the movie is Wonder Woman. I liked how she was introduced and I really enjoyed how hyped she looked to be fighting Doomsday. She looked like a warrior who's back in her element after a long retirement.
Too bad her fight scenes looked even faker than most others. It's another of those, trying to have your warrior but keep her pretty things. Like there was one time where she's flung into a pile of rocks in a weirdly dainty pose and not like someone who just got fucked by Doomsday.

Still, it at least gave me a bit more optomism for a Wondy movie.

Superman had an issue with Batman horribly torturing and branding criminals, especially when the brand equalled a direct death sentence inside a prison. when he receives that unanimous package containing those close up polaroids of the people the Bat of Gotham had abused, he simply couldn't stomach such rampant brutality and wanted to investigate/put a stop to it.

I have seen a lot of back-and-forth here about the merits of seeing a movie that's been critically panned. Specifically, this attitude of "form your own opinion" permeates this thread. Others shit on RT and Metacritic (flawed systems, surely).

I personally know a lot of people who pay to hate-watch movies that they were looking forward to but they just "have to see how big of a trainwreck it is." Consider this my rant against hate-watching or being compelled to see a movie for no other reason that you "have to."

Critics told us in advance what the major problems were with this film. Full disclosure: I was looking forward to it, but I will not pay anything to see it now. Based on what I've read here, it looks like the critics weren't just inventing problems with the movie.

If you know what the major gripes are with a movie (and this one has MoS as a springboard, so you already know the overall tone of the movie and characterization of Supes at least), you DO NOT HAVE TO SEE IT. Paying to see a movie you expect to hate makes no sense. You vote with your dollar, and ticket sales just tell the studio that this is the version of these characters that you want. Transformers and Pirates don't just reach 4 movies and counting by coincidence.

Lex's motivation kind of made sense. He's threatened by Superman. He hates the idea of someone who by default has ultimate power and (almost) no weaknesses. He hates the idea of being at someone's mercy.
I think he's scared of superman, because he realizes if superman chooses to just fuck everything, he has no control over the situation. And he can't stand the idea of not having control more than anything else.

But anon, the whole point of this whole debacle is that EVERYONE thought that at worst they'd pull a safe and by-the-numbers Star Wars Ep7. The argument before the reviews was if it was going to be a 70,an 80 or a 90 percentage, with the strongest of marvel drones hoping for a 70, so that they could claim that Marvel's lowest point was the comparison for DC's highest.

And to be fair, the trailers looked okay. No-one expected lower than 60%, really, even is 85% was too high a chance.

But people, myself included, thought that them taking a 3 year break to get back on track would make them hit the ground running and seriously shake things up. (Not that it didn't, lol). Some people even thought that the 3 years was some producer trying to fix Snyder's/Goyer's shit, but even in the end it was unsalvageable.

The fact that it hit 29% is something outside the comprehension of even Kevin Feige. Never in his dreams he thought that it'd be that low. This was just pathetic.

I mean shit, we've had 2 movies of this Superman and people were texting and getting up to leave during his funeral for this exact reason.

The movie goes a long way to show that Superman is fallible, capable of being wrong, and doesn't think about the consequences of his actions.

So is Jim Gordon dead in this universe that's why Batman goes around killing people? If so, why does a Bat signal exist? He's literally just a serial killer at this point.

>literally minutes after people say the sticky was a good idea, it gets unstuck

Snyder thinks this is deep.

Did anyone catch the fact that Doomsday was also part Parasite with the whole "feeding on energy" thing?

Did people really expect good things from this movie? Or was everyone just arguing with each other while knowing it was going to be shit?
>>
>>81173117
Nah, at that point he figured he was going to die and was trying to get Batman to save her as a plan b. Having a name to go off of would be more helpful than "mom" but he was delirious.
>>
>>81192649
>he puts next to no effort into denying the claims that he brings nothing but trouble.

He showed up at the Senate hearings.

>>81192583
It's called Hollywood accounting.

I forget which one ... wasn't there a movie that made more than twice it's budget and even managed to give bonuses to execs and stars AND YET listed as **lost a lot of money**?
>>
>>81192559
it's due to scheduling nearly universal global release date, you can't just stick it anywhere you want
>>
>>81192688

I was expecting Snyder's style-over-substance shit from the word "go", but I think the characters were much better done than with Man of Steel, and I really loved the Justice League previews and hints at Darkseid even if they detracted from the pacing of the main narrative.
>>
>>81192678

Yes, Snyder is such a visionary.
>>
Do the reviews bleed?

>>81192710
And your trying to say before Easter was the best shot they could get?
I seriously doubt that the Summer competition is nothing like years before and they always had there bat films in the summer.
There is no fucking way there hands were tied they had to release it Easter weekend.
>>
>>81192671
Did they even turn it on before the fight? Maybe its not been active since Gordon died or maybe now serves as a warning to citizens so they don't become casualties.

>People don't give a single flying fuck on who's involved in making a movie

A big name sells more tickets than a youtube review. Christ are you kids serious or stupid?
>>
They really should have just called this Dawn of Justice and made it an origin for the team. They tried to do so much shit and it just didn't work. Batman v Superman doesn't need to be the basis of the movie. In Avengers Thor and Iron Man fight when they first meet. Batman and Superman fighting could have been a fun surprise in a JL origin movie.
>>
What baffles me is the decision to start the DCEU in medias res. i mean we get superman's origin but that's that. batman's best years, friends and enemies are pretty much behind him, all the others are already around and have been for a long time, the universe is very "lived in" but we never got to see any of that. why start a universe at the end of the story is what i'm saying.
>>
>>81192649
>There's no reason to assume the best of him or trust a single word he says. Especially since even he puts next to no effort into denying the claims that he brings nothing but trouble.

So according to you Clark is actually a sociopath lying to his girlfriend and all the good things he does is.... what? Some kind of a twisted way to spend time when he's bored? He was willing to go before the senate, but that's more posturing, right?

>which was the second worst opening Friday-to-Saturday drop in the annals of superhero releases, after a 40% dip for The Dark Knight Rises.

>The only way to scare people off of a movie quicker than BvS is to literally shoot a theater full of them
>>
>>81192827

I like it a lot.

We've already seen Batman's origin a million fucking times and even the casuals all know how the song and dance goes.
>>
>>81192811

Agreed. It should have been Batman and Superman ft. Wonder Woman. Take out all the angst, brooding and nonsense. If a fight is supposed to take place, make it happen in the first act then let them work together for the rest of the movie. That way, Superman dying has an actual effect on the audience and Bruce has a real reason to be sad cause as it stands he only knew him for 30 minutes.

Another thing that also makes no sense is Superman letting a guy who was about to kill him go save his mom for him.
>>
>>81192765
He'll get his Super Cult and unlike the comics won't tell them to quit. Maybe they'll become his Super Troopers before Bruce in his infinite murder wisdom makes them stop, with murder.
>>
>>81192811
Oh, shit yeah. Just call it Dawn of Justice and that fixes issues right there.
"Why did the batman vs. Superman fight last like 5 minutes?"
Who cares!? It's not what the movie's about.
>>
>>81192588
>Communion has other meanings outside of Christianity, you idiot.
And normally I'd agree to that.
But with THIS movie? Nah bro. Nah
>>
green text resume please
>>
>>81192811
That's what is killing me. Avengers had the team up occur in such a way that even if you didn't see the other films you understood what was going on with them.

DC could have done the same but have the advantage of "want to know more? Here are there films" the hype train you could have built just having the team come together over a common foe could have made it all work.

But no, we get a half hour of pointless narrative, an hour of near pointless dreams, and a half hour of decent(mind you sometimes weightless) fighting
>>
>>81192867

Let's keep in mind Brussels had a big public terrorist attack two days prior to the release, that's bound to affect at least European numbers a little in the neighboring nations.
>>
>>81192702
>>81192858
Which is why I said "next to effort" rather than "Absolutely no effort" as I was originally thinking of doing. I admit, he showed up to the senate hearings. After 2 years of media silence. Despite being a reporter, and fucking a second, more famous reporter. Despite opportunities he has after every crisis, like the one in Mexico. He makes exactly one attempt at getting his point of view across, at the senate hearing, and once that blows up in his face he goes off and sulks.

Clark doesn't try. He gets discouraged way too easily in general.
>>
is wondy stronger than this supes? kinda feels like she would kick his ass
>>

I'm german, you only care if you were there, eastern is a whole different matter though as many people go to their family to celebrate.
>>
Not to be a consoles war autist, but Marvel handled Daredevil vs. Punisher in under 60 mins, better than Batman vs. Superman did in 150 mins.

Just have them fight each other at the beginning of the movie and get it over with.
>>
>>81193043

In most interpretations, she can go toe-to-toe with him in a fight because she's better trained at combat, but she doesn't have quite as much physical strength and Supes can outlast her by a lot.

>inb4 people blame Disney for the Brussels attack

>>81193043
SUPERMAN V WONDER WOMAN:DUSK OF INJUSTICE
>>
>>81193059
But the Daredevil vs Punisher arc, while much better than this movie, was 4 episodes.
>>
>>81193043

She has more fighting experience and she was the one actually beating up Doomsday for most of the fight.
>>
>>81193001
I am from Europe, but fairly distant from Belgium. The attack is not very felt here; it's more "Muslims doing Muslim things again" rather than "it's dangerous to go outside". But it might be different closer to Belgium.
>>
>>81193090

4 episodes = 200 mins. Assuming we cut out all the Foggy and Karen nonsense. The interaction between the two was way more organic and made more sense than, "Please save my mommy although I have hearing good enough to detect where Lois is at all times but not the woman who raised me."
>>
Alright here's how I would re-frame the Knightmare sequence

>make it more apparent that Bruce is falling asleep in front of the monitor
>is woken by Superman shock troops/Justifiers blasting through the wall into the Batcave
>Bruce runs to get his suit and gear and fights his way out
>when he gets out it's in the desert like how the Knightmare sequence starts in the movie

Biggest problem it had is that it came right the fuck out of nowhere with zero context. This intro keys people in to the fact that it's a dream more readily.

I like the Super Mario Brothers movie.
It's a terrible adaptation, completely mishandles the characters and the lore, and the acting waffles between horrific and over the top hammy.
But it was the first movie I ever saw a s a little kid with that kind of cyberpunk aesthetic, which blew my little mind.
It's cheesy, and corny, and shit, but it has a special place in my heart. I fully recognize that I like what is ultimately a bad movie. So for me, I will always say it deserves a 5 or 6 out of 10.

So there. I've admitted I like a bad movie. Now can the rest of you do the same?
>>
Crashing this franchise, WITH NO SURVIVORS
>>
>>81193306
No.
>>
I really hope DC will notice the actual critics and not just the hatred filled "muh fun" comments, because they might make the wrong decisions latter.
>>
>>81193306
>Now can the rest of you do the same?

almost veryone is admiting this movie has its issues and is far from being perfect, doesn't change their opinions that they liked certain aspects of the movie or may even like the movie regardless of said issues though.
>>
so can we all agree the aquaman look is just not working?
being an aqua fan is suffering, i'll never get the actual arthur on screen
>>
>>81193306

I don't think it's a bad movie, I think it was executed horribly. In the shower I find myself thinking of 3-5 different things if done differently would have made the movie great.

You want to kill off Superman? Sure...but make people actually care about him dying.
>>
>>81193445
I kinda want to see underwater action, because that would at least be new, but it looked clumsy as fuck. I'm not exactly holding my breath for it.
>>
>>81193155
I feel Snyder is the type that wants to feel "clever" by making it pop from nowhere thus he can say he trick you.
>>
>>81193564
I can't fathom how it could be good
>>
>>81193505
>You want to kill off Superman? Sure...but make people actually care about him dying.

T H I S

Superman hasn't even been embraced as a hero yet, so how is that supposed to mean anything? How is the eventual Injustice road they're going down supposed to be make the audience feel like an evil Superman is a tragedy?
>>
>>81191451
I think some one more fit/muscular/thick should be WW
>>
>>81193338
Anon the only wrong decision will be if they hire Snyder a 4th time. His name is going to officially taint any DC property now.
>>
>>81193618

Actual dreams shift suddenly with no context in between scenes, but removing the actual transition from wide awake to BAM REM SLEEP is just cheating.

Now, within the Knightmare, sure throw all the random smash cuts and scene changes you want. That's how dreams work without continuity.
>>
>>81192561
Then I guess all the backlash from MoS and this movie is because people "want to see the modern superman".

That would've been nice, definitely. Although there are versions of Wondy that are more on the thinner side, it'd have been nice for her to at least be visually toned. But what can you do. It's a movie. Beauty before accuracy.

Exactly. And it's not like jumping straight into a team movie is undoable. Guardians of the Galaxy is considered a good movie and they set up the entire team in one movie. They could have had Batman actually detectiving and finding other metahumans. The plot could have been streamlined and 2 1/2 hours would have been plenty of time to make it work.
>>
>>81194127
would be interesting. On one hand the shared Universe crap wouldn't be in such demand
On the other hand it would likely lead to a decade long hiatus on cape films.

>>81194166
It's not fansboys it's the shitposters that bait them
I can't bait BvS that great atm, if CW is fantastic though? Bam I can get 500+ post responses with a pic of Cap or Iron man with there arms cross with the text of "well well well"
Insufferable insecure fans are always here it's a mater of finding the right buttons to push.
