Rewrites. If you need to rewrite a script that close to production its gonna be shit. No way around it.
Shitty director. Good cinematographer but he sucks at narrative which is unfortunate given how plot heavy he made this movie.
Also his retarded fucking wife picking Eisenberg to play Lex. She needs to never be involved in another DC move.
Thats basically it. Everything else about the movie was good but those two things.
Its still an equal parts good and bad movie and didnt deserve the scores it got fron reviewers

Is 1.5 billion considered billions? Because that's probably what WB was expecting/hoping for in their more ambitious estimates. 1.2 in their lower estimates.

>It was supposed to be the next TDK
Oh come now, you can't say something like that. Only carnie barkers and corporate yes-men can say things like that. Even if Nolan were making it no one can make a claim like that. Not every Coen film is No Country For Old Men. No one could reasonably expect a claim like that.

>Terrio was supposed to save us

This movie is the Jai Courtney of Superhero films.

Hollywood keeps pushing it in my face trying to make me like it, but I don't. For Jai Courtney we have far more talented good looking young actors in guys like Michael B.

They expected the film to make millions cause they see Disney and Marvel do it. The invest all this cash to make it produced yet they never actually sat down and looked at "how" Marvel became such a success. Parents and kids see these movies and bring in lots of the cash, instead they serve this film as grim dark so that no kid would see this, they play it in spring when you are typically not in season for grim dark films and your film holds characters that a lot of people in other countries have never really heard of.

Of all the things this movie did wrong, casting was low on the list. Not liking Eisenberg's Joker/Luthor is understandable, and Gadot's hokey acting can be awkward but even then she worked the part pretty well, especially in the fight sequence. Other than that, everyone was pretty spot on or impressive. It was poor writing at times that dragged down performances, rarely casting decisions or acting chops.

This was a good movie. Batman was a crimefighter, scientist, and detective. Superman acted like Superman (finally).

>How the hell do you frame Superman for getting people killed with bullets?

He was being framed for escalating the situation and leading to the bloodbath.
The traceable bullets was fucking sloppy, BUT, there's also a dead CIA agent. So you have a dead spook and terrorists killed with prototype military ammunitions and that is something the government WILL not want to flaunt.

>Why the FUCK would you be on the point of beating someone to death and then lay off when you find out their mommy had the same name as yours?

Because Batman is crazy/triggered by his parents. Also, it humanized Superman

>Why was Superman so mad at Batman for doing basically the same vigilante assault shit he does, anyway?

Because he was praised for it, or at least helped for it in Gotham. While Superman gets all of the flack.

>Why and how did Lex even have Zod's body? He didn't have any of the other Kryptonian artifacts.

Did you fall asleep? The other senator GIVES Lex all of that shit.

>>81410449
1. They tricked the public into believing that Superman's presence escalated the situation (obviously this wasn't true). The bullets were perhaps a payment to the mercenaries to get them to actually go through with thre plan or insurance to make sure that the government won't try to get involved and perhaps get implicated.

2. Batman stopped when hearing the name, and afterwards when he realized that it was his mother ended the fight because he would be no better than Joe Chill if he killed Superman.

3. Superman believed that Batman's tactics were too cruel and that no one should be doing that to others, even if Batman is a human. If Batman's tactics weren't so cruel, perhaps he would have liked him.

4. Lex asked the government for access and traded a cherry jolly rancher for it.

5. Yes. He's kind of retarded, like he is in the comics. He only thinks "Kill Superman!" And doesn't realize what problems he will create in the long-run, especially if he succeeds.

>How the hell do you frame Superman for getting people killed with bullets?

Jesus fucking Christ, how can so many people honestly be this retarded? That is not why people were mad at Superman. The people that got shot were just seen as a direct consequence and collateral damage of Superman deposing a warlord, not Superman killing them personally. People were losing their shit that Superman was now meddling with global politics and leaving bloody, chaotic uprisings in his wake a d blaming him for everything, which was Lex's plan all along.

>Why the FUCK would you be on the point of beating someone to death and then lay off when you find out their mommy had the same name as yours?

This probably is 2deep4u, but it humanized Superman. Until that moment Bruce had never thought of him as anything but an alien monster. Martha triggered Bruce's own childhood trauma and that made him realize Superman was just like him, a vigilante trying to do good. It cut through his feverish bloodlust and woke him up. Bruce started to consider Superman as a real person instead of just projecting his fear and cynicism on him.

>Why was Superman so mad at Batman for doing basically the same vigilante assault shit he does, anyway?

Because Batman was terrorizing and horribly torturing people and he was not cool with that. It's one of the most Superman type things he does in the movie.

>Why and how did Lex even have Zod's body? He didn't have any of the other Kryptonian artifacts.

Because the dude who was with Holly Hunter gave him access! It was directly shown in the film.

>What exactly was Lex's plan with Doomsday? He just lets him run rampant forever?

Kill Superman.

>Deadpool cost like 1/5 of what Batman v. Superman did and has made more by being true to the comics.
Not really, it made that by being much more entertaining. Comic accuracy isn't needed to make a good or bad, successful or bombing movie, because the movie is going to stand on its own. The theater isn't going to hand out comics to the viewers so they can see how accurate it is.
>>
>>81410738
He thought he did. Of course he didn't, but Snyder and his wife have gone on record saying that Lex IMAGINED that he would have a connection to the monster.
>>
>>81410738
He used his own blood to create him, I imagine Lex probably thought he could control him.

Thing is, you can make a comic book character work easier on film if you don't try to reinvent the wheel, and stick with what made it work on paper on the first place and with the added bonus of having a small but vocal subsection of fans that will become living billboards for the movie, because they see reflected the thing they love just in another medium.

This is what confuses me. The hatred of the movie seems to fall into two camps most of the time, and those two camps hate it for literally the opposite and mutually-exclusive reasons. Half say it's too confusing because Snyder doesn't do a good enough job explaining what's going on, and the other half hate it for being too in-your-face and "obvious".

Surely one of those two sides has to just be in angry confusion.

This is what they mean by Marveldrones being too stupid to get it. They fight in the movie because Lex Luthor manipulated them into it. Lex Luthor has been gaslighting Batman the same way he's been gaslighting cripple-guy-who-blows-himself-up. And into doing the same thing. Dying trying to destroy Superman.

Superman is also being manipulated, but deep in his heart he doesn't believe what Batman's doing is right. Batman is doing what Superman is blamed for doing, interfering without government oversight. Except Superman is being framed, and Batman seems to enjoy torturing people on his own (again, because gaslighting).
>>
>>81412451
>"too confusing" mostly because until the last third the movie is just a series of barely connected sketches.

Except it is from the very start clearly building to the climax where all the plot threads converge. Just because you do not immediately see the connecting dots does not make it confusing and badly done, it's intentionally keeping the details vague because it delivers a couple of important twists that make you view the entire story in a new light when you realize what has been going on.

Doomsday is a tool. He is not a character. He is purely a weapon. Doomsday is nothing more than an extension of Lex. If Lex brought out his power suit in act 3, you wouldn't say "Nothing in this movie built up to the power suit!!", but it's exactly the same. Only retards think Doomsday deserves more than the ending of a movie. he doesn't. He's a complete non-character from a shitty marketing campaign in the 1990s.

The box office is everything, especially for something that is a Cinematic UNIVERSE. The box office decides on what direction it will go in or even if it will exist, do I need to remind of what happened with DC's first attempt at this with Green Lantern and how the reception to that ended up or what happened with Sony and Spider-Man? Remember that? Remember all those movies they had planned out, Like 3 more sequels, Sinister Six, Untitled Female Spidey movie, Aunt May movie, etc. What happened with that again?

And let's not forget Man of Steel which was supposed to have Supes be DC's Iron Man but underperformed and that's why we're never getting Man of Steel 2 anytime soon, he had to share with Batman and then die because Batman is now their new lynchpin. This is all because of box office you realize.

I haven't seen anything that points to him being a bad Joker. His few appearances in the trailers and his acting talent should be giving comic readers positive vibes.

Well, Batdad and Batmom took Bruce to see Excalibur in the original story, but it was sold out when they got there. That is why they opted to see Zorro (which aired at a slightly later time).

I could be wrong, but while Excalibur was the feature, I believe there was a poster for Zorro in the film. IDK for sure tho, snyder can't into backgrounds without extensive CGI. For all I know, it could have been an ad for cherry flavored viagra.

What did Zack do to earn so much goodwill from WB to be the main director for what was supposed to be their biggest film franchise? The only film he's ever made that gelled with general audiences was 300. Everything else was either hated or received indifferently.

BvS main problem was that it try to be two movies in one. My guess is that originally the movie would have been a simple Batman vs Superman film with no shit like the JL stuff, Wonder Woman and Darkside. It would have probably just introduced Luthor, Batman and maybe Doomsday. But WB wanted to have their own cinematic universe.

If WB wanted their own universe they should have scrapped the BvS concept and simply made a JL film. Have it so Batman while suspicious of Superman unite together plus have Wonder Woman and all the characters you want keep the number at a minimum so you don't over exert yourself. Have the new team fight against something that makes sense for them to unite. Something similar to Guardians but more serious given the nature of Snyder's MoS. But still giving certain characters their more known traits. Make Superman more uplifing, make Batman suspicious of everyone, make Wonder Woman brash, etc. Give each character a defining trait and not make them bland or psychotic.

Had Snyder and WB done that I would assure you it would have been a great yet simple film that would have made it good.

Examples of my way of thinking is on the many JL animated movies and the JL cartoon show. While the JL show already had the ground work of the Batman and Superman show it still introduced multiple characters in the first episode that btw it was done in movie form. People already know who Superman and Batman is. There is no need to introduce them on a movie. Instead you introduce Wonder Woman and company and go from there.

Yes they did, and I won't deny that, however the difference is that Eva completely defined a generation, changed the industry and offered something outside of the genre while, at the same time, being a mashup of cliches from said genre. Also, again, the point was, Anno doesn't actually think any of that biblical shit was intentional to create this mythos. He was just doing it cause it all looks cool. He even chose the name Evangelion cause "It sounds complicated"

Snyder on the other hand has not proven his worth while also believing all of the bullshit he puts on screen. Oh, and unlike overly-delusional Eva fans, he actually does think his movie is a deconstruction

Ignoring the fact that "artfullness mythicness" is some rather broken English, you're claiming that the movie is "Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.'

The ideological clash hinges on Batman being an idiot (not just paranoid, but actually dumb) and humans being naturally good and unwilling to fight other humans, which is inconsistent with its general "humans are assholes" rhetoric.

Deconstructing an archetype is not the same as creating a new archetype.

First "incredible thing"? Yeah no.
Second, if you pulled your head out of your ass for thirty seconds, you'd be able to recognize that nobody faults the attempt. Just the execution. I could put this in all caps and you'd still ignore it so I'll just say this.

People want narrative depth in their superhero movies.
People want serious, dramatic cape stories.
People want explorations of character ideologies that have thematic resonance.
People even want their cape movies to skew a little dark or grim at times.
Even the fans of what you derite as "quipfests" want all these things.
SNYDER IS NOT THE MAN TO GIVE US THESE THINGS. HE LACKS THE TOOLS TO DO SO.
SNYDER is what people hate. The execution, not the idea.

>What the fuck happened to diversity of consumer with different taste and preferences?

People can handle "seriousness and maturity".

But it'd help if the film trying to display "seriousness and maturity" didn't lack narrative thrust, wasn't hampered by lazy subplotting, and didn't have a muddled mess of character motivations running through the entire film.

Neither of the first two Superman movies was made with much input from WB or DC, they just happened to be made by a fanboy.

If the original director hadn't been double booked or the Salkinds had called somebody else, they would have been Superman IV-tier as well.

Blade should be. Batman shold be.
The idea that certain stories codify certain themes should not come as a surprise to anyone with even the bare minimal of critical thinking ability. It stands to reason then, that some concepts run counter to some themes, and thus, some stories.

Concepts aren't one size fits all, and even if they were, you'd need a better tailor than Snyder.
>>
>>81415455

>SUPERMAN SHOULD NOT BE DARK AND GRITTY

Superman being "dark and gritty" without the accompanying shift in his characterization - that is to say, him being a villain rather than a hero - is a betrayal of nearly 80 years of the fundamental principles behind Superman's character. You can say it's a "NOT MUH SUPERMAN" argument, but Superman was created as a character meant to entertain (and possibly inspire) children, so maybe your Superman isn't the one that everyone else wants.

But even if - EVEN IF - audiences were ready for a more cynical and dour take on the Man of Steel, such a take requires films with coherent characterization, plotting, and narrative thrust. In that regard, MoS barely delivered, and BvS failed.

You can have "dark" and "mature" superhero films, but it helps to make them in a way where they "work" in terms of presenting a compelling and coherent narrative.

No its not, you can have the realistic world building and tone of Earth One and still give us a Superman that wants to help people which MOS did give us.

>>81415582
My problem wasn't him killing Zod, my problem was that it took him so long to do it and after he does it he acts like he accidentally killed a baby.
It feels like they only did the neck snap because they genuinely couldn't think of any other way to end the fight.
>>
>>81415595
If Batman can work bright and campy as in Adam West or dead serious as with Nolan then so can fucking Superman.
>>
>>81415663

The necksnap was also an issue because it was lazy-as-fuck plotting done only to put Superman in the position of having to kill Zod and thus "shock" the audience. They could've had Zod get zapped back to the Phantom Zone with his cohorts on the World Engine and ended the movie on a dour but slightly uplifting note. Instead they went full DBZ without regard for all the destruction, then said "oh we'll deal with it in the next film" when the fight made it clear they had no intent of doing so.
>>
>>81415711

>If Batman can work bright and campy as in Adam West or dead serious as with Nolan then so can fucking Superman.

Anything - even a good Superman film that's "dead serious" - is possible. Something being probable...yeah, that's the trickier one.
>>
>>81415711
I don't even disagree with that. I just think it'd require a better mind behind it than Snyder.

You can't rely on outside interpretations of the character to create your context, you have to do it yourself. Snyder does not understand this. If you want a dark/grim/serious/mature whatever fucking buzzword world for your Superman story, you still have to justify his character in that world and have it be enacted organically. Snyder fails at this because he's not a storyteller. He's a cameraman with delusions of grandeur.
>>
>>81415638
>that is to say, him being a villain rather than a hero
Jesus Christ what the fuck is wrong with you?, a dark & gritty Superman movie DOES NOT require him to be villainous in any way, and MOS&BVS did not ether. I hate Injustice, I am not asking for a villainous Superman. I am asking for what that isn't bright happy sunshine and smiles 247, Im asking for the Earth One world building and earth with him having the characterization of say... TAS but less Naive.

>so maybe your Superman isn't the one that everyone else wants.
Of course that is fine, that does not make the film a bad product for the target audience that DOES want this.
Was Batman 1989 bad because it didn't cater to Adam West fans?

>such a take requires films with coherent characterization, plotting, and narrative thrust. In that regard, MoS barely delivered, and BvS failed.
Bull fucking shit.
>>
>>81415808

>You can't rely on outside interpretations of the character to create your context, you have to do it yourself. Snyder does not understand this.

He tried to take the parts of Dark Knight Returns that he liked best and apply them to BvS. He failed to understand what made the story work - the history of the two characters up to that point was but one of the reasons - and took the "tangible details" on their face.

Zack Snyder is a horrible fucking storyteller. Look at Sucker Punch.

>>81415663

>>
>>81415653
>No its not, you can have the realistic world building and tone of Earth One and still give us a Superman that wants to help people which MOS did give us.
No, you really can;t.
Earth One works because Clark is a reluctant hero. That's the kind of character that kind of setting produces. When you change that, you have to explain where it comes from. MoS doesn't do tat. It doubles down on everything that made Clark a sad sack in Earth One and then goes "Oh but he's not because it's a Superman movie".

You know what I want to see? An MoS comic book cut. Take all those individual panels and ideas that Snyder aped from 4 different books and put them into one storytime .Then maybe you guys will finally see what people are saying about how it's a disjointed and inconsistent narrative.
>>
>>81415663
>>81415719
As far as we know the original script just had Zod being thrown back again in the phantom zone, then Snyder came in and convinced Goyer and Nolan that they had to fight to death instead

In the last minutes of the film Zod's death does feel kinda out of place. We got Supes going all "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH" and then a couple of minutes later "he's so sexy", "welcome to the Daily Planet, pretty cheerful yet supposedly traumatized Clark Kent!"

And before someone tries to say "but Clark looked normal because months already passed from the incident!", i'm merely talking from a storytelling standpoint, Zod's death looks important but doesn't feel like it if you dismiss it this quickly.
It's like in the last Hobbit movie, where (because a lot of scenes were cut/kept away for the special edition) we have the very tragic death of Thorin and his nephews, but after that you're barely given the time to assimilate it because the next scene immediately goes "see you soon Bilbo Beggins! Happy to have met you!"
>>
>>81415826

>that does not make the film a bad product for the target audience that DOES want this

And the question is, WHY do you want a Superman that has his head so far up his ass that he can smell the coffee he drank that morning? What makes the idea of a dour, cynical, "NOT THE BOY SCOUT" Superman so appealing to you? And don't just say the first thing that comes into your head - keep asking yourself "why?" with each answer you come up with until you hit the one that feels like the honest truth instead of a surface answer.

>Bull fucking shit.

>>81415808

Yes and he absolutely did do that, he justified it by giving us a cynical take on Pa Kent who made sure Clark wasn't a Naive idiot and who understood that the big picture matters more then individual lives sometimes.

>>81415864
Except he perfectly made it work in context of MOS and events within.
The character history wasn't necessary for the old world weary Batman, and Superman here isn't anything like the TDKR's Superman.
>>
>>81415882

>But the destruction was perfectly fine.

No. No, it wasn't. The destruction caused by the Superman/Zod fight was an afterthought - a "wouldn't it be cool if" idea that had no regard for collateral damage or the overarching narrative. It was done because of "SPECTACLE", and the fact that they probably killed thousands of people wasn't even a thought in Snyder's head until after people started criticising him for it. If he'd thought about addressing it in that film, he would've, but he didn't.

In MOS he is reluctant also but for different reasons.
In EO he is reluctant because he is lazy and has no drive to help others beyond want to make use of his power.
In MOS he is reluctant because while he wants to help others he fears the worlds reaction to him both on him self and to society in general.

>Yes and he absolutely did do that, he justified it by giving us a cynical take on Pa Kent who made sure Clark wasn't a Naive idiot and who understood that the big picture matters more then individual lives sometimes.
Except it didn't do that. Clark's altruistic actions consistently run counter to everything Jonathan espouses. Clark wanting to help people is inorganic to every aspect of his upbringing we're shown. A character that's got a childhood full of bullying and stratification and his told by his only social ties that humanity isn't ready for a savior has no reason to want to BE that savior.
This is why, in contrast why Earth One Jonathan is basically just Uncle Ben. He provides context that MoS Jonathan doesn't.

But you don't get context, do you? Maybe the problem is you think tone is this magical thing you can move by itself without EVERYTHING ELSE moving to compensate. It isn't. It's a balancing act with a dozen other aspects that you're not actually paying any attention to and Snyder is incapable of rendering effectively

You misunderstand I am content with a semi boyscoutish happy Superman, (as long as he is not a naive idiot) I want the world around him to be dark and gritty so contextually he has something to actually improve, if the world is already bright happy and perfect then he becomes redundant.
I do absolutely wish Clark had more happy moments in BVS. Him, Martha & Lois having dinner would have been nice.

>>81416073

Someone fails at reading.
Earth One Clark just wants to be normal, and failing that, wants to be exceptional. He fears the alienation caused by his...well, being alien.
His parents counter this attitude rather than encourage it. Man of Steel does the opposite.

I *hate* Earth One and even I figured that out by page 5.

>>81416021

Again, that's a matter of opinion. If you take out that entire fight - from the moment Superman meets Lois in the middle of Metropolis to the post-fight epilogue that runs to the end of the film - does the film lose any of its narrative thrust? Is the fight actually important to the narrative of MoS - not BvS, not the DCCU, but MoS alone?
>>
>>81416242
>so contextually he has something to actually improve, if the world is already bright happy and perfect then he becomes redundant.
Oh god you're that guy and you still haven't realized that the context isn't that the world is bright and happy before Clark, but BECAUSE of him.

How can we live in an age where there's so many deconstructions and Evil Superman stories out there and still have people dumb enough to realize he's the fucking lynchpin for the DCU? As Clark changes, so does the rest of the world. That's been the case since the goddamn 80s.

He didn't kill them, you cucks, Donner himself said so. To make it more clear in his 2006 version of the movie he recycled the ending from the first one so that Zod and co. would just go back to the phantom zone, alive and well

of course he knows what death is, the point is not about death but about killing for the sake of others as a moral act, young clark is shown reading plato's republic , a book that actually deals with this pretty much all the implications of a real life superman. man of steel constantly puts clark in situations where he has to weigh the consequences of his actions. BvS beats us over the head with it. the point is two-fold: the world isn't black and white and clark doesn't like this, it's uncomfortable, it brings him pain

how the fuck do people shit on mos but never say anything about superman in the dcau, a guy who actually never changes how he handles violence

What do you mean? The DCAU is pretty much universally loved because most people agree they got the characters right.
>>
>>81417733

Yes, it's apparently a dull mix of gray and shit.

>>81417899
superman causes just as much destruction there as superman in man of steel, can you explain what the difference is?
>>
>>81417974
When? What episode or movie?

In the cartoons he's always shown trying to minimize damage during fights, and will routinely stop fighting to save civilians.

I don't recall a DCAU episode where he uncaringly leveled Metropolis without regard for the people in it like in MoS.

I don't think the Republic talks about of what you think it talks about.
It is a very politcal piece, when the characters involved speak of justice they speak of how it has to be delivered legally and how it can improve "the city", it's not about "what if i do good thing but then bad thing happens because i didn't realize my good thing could have bad implications"

the fight with darkseid, just starts punching shit. it seems to me the only reason the fight doesn't go in is become darkseid over powers him with the never activation thing
>>
>>81418127
The allegory works with superheroes, though. They could be the "guardian class" rather than the philosopher-kings.
>>
>>81418135
Or if the fight did go further, Supes would have worked to minimize damage and save civilians. We won't know because it didn't.

It's irrelevant because the DCAU had spent years showing Superman as deeply caring about everyone and striving at all times to protect people and avoid hurting anyone when possible.

MoS had Supes a-neck-snappin' pretty much from the beginning.

Try harder, Snyderfag.
>>
>>81418380
Well, yeah, even if it's a bit of a stretch i guess it could work, but the journey of Clark in MoS feels too personal to me for that, there isn't enough confrontation with the community he's supposed to relate to.
To this day i still think Plato's book was just a prop to quickly enstablish Clark was a somwhat cultured and smart kid, I mean, he's even bullied in that very scene, felt like a very classic "nerdy kid is mistreated by stupid kids" situation

Snyder has a penchant to make long films. Execs don't like 3 hours movies because people can get bored if it's shit and you potentially make less money on opening day.

I liked it, but I still feel like Snyder needs to go. Critics don't like him and casuals really don't either, comic fans sure as fuck hate his guts. He's way too controversial to be in charge.
>>

Hmm.

So you're not a comics fan or a critic. You might be a casual, then. Get the fuck out.

It's a shame, because i can see all the potential themes and interesting questions in the movie from Clark's part: do i save people or is that dangerous? Am i Kryptonian or am i human?

But the movie doesn't explore these things properly enough for me to really appreciate it. There's always a retarded situation ruining the whole thing

>Jonathan's doubts were understandable but the way he died was retarded
>The idea of hiding Clark from society was understandable, but doesn't feel like the Kents really tried since he still went to public school and Pa openly offered to people proof of alien life
>Zod is too much of a maniac for Clark to seriously question his own loyalty to the Kryptonian heritage
>Superman's role as a protector is undermined by the lack of contact with real people that aren't military guys or conveniently misplaced journalists
And so on
>>
>>81416678
>a legitimate attempt at making a serious blockbuster that tackled important themes about society-n-stuff.
I feel this could have been prevented if it was actually Man of Steel 2. But it's not. It is BvS and also Justice League Part 0 so it has to ultimately come down to that no matter how contrived it feels
>>
>>81418135
>the fight with darkseid
That was the last episodes of both STAS and JLU so I don't know which one you mean but in both cases, that's still minimum damage compared to leveling the whole city
>>
>>81419148
>You can't like the movie without liking Snyder.
What kind of dumb logic is that? I think Snyder himself is kind of a bloviating douche, but I liked the movie nonetheless. Likewise, I love Roman Polanski movies, but I don't particularly like him as a person.

>>81419331
No one's talking about Snyder as a person. Liking BvS is liking Snyder as a director, it's saying he's capable of producing anything of value.
>>
>>81419509
He is capable of producing something of value. What he is incapable of doing is producing something that is universally loved and non controversial, which is why he needs to go.
>>
>>81419418
Can't you see how said it is that you're reduced to grasping at these kinds of straws.

"Er, technically Superman didn't destroy every square foot of Metropolis, he only leveled the center of the city and large parts of the rest."

The point isn't how many square feet Superman brought down, it's the attitude on display. He didn't give a shit about what he was doing, and that's why people don't like this depiction.

Nope. Everything he's ever made is garbage, starting with his shitty Dawn of the Dead remake. If that had any value it was because he was remaking something made by someone else with actual talent.

And that was his best-rated movie, at 75% on RT. His next highest was Watchmen at 65%, and it just keeps going down from there.

The man, at his best, is barely able to achieve mediocrity.

Even if the MCU is somehow the "new Power Rangers" it's still better than the DCEU. The old Power Rangers are better than the DCEU.

How about you formulate your own opinions instead of posting RT scores like some brain dead 14 year old.

>>81419957
Have you even watched anything he's made?. His overuse of ramping and his complete lack of subtlety when implementing symbolism are a consistent aspect of Cuck Snyders films, and those aren't even as bad as his dialogue direction and editing. If there was ever anything good in a Snyder film it wouldn't surprise me if he had nothing to do with it. Face it DCucks, the birth of your cinematic universe was more like an extremely late abortion. Just stick to the vidya, DC is doing well in that regard

At a modern ticket price with the same volume of sales, Superman Returns would make about 480 million.

Superman would make 1.1 billion, Superman II would make just short of 600 million, and the rest would make pretty much nothing. For older films there's much less quality data available which is why they tend to have estimates in place of final grosses and often omit that kind of data entirely or fail to include overseas grosses, but it's fair to say the first two and their spiritual successor were all big grossers. It's just that in the latter case there was a huge production cost to pay off as well, so the whole project died there and then.

>>81409957
They aren't, but the estimates are and like last week's estimates are likely to be revised downward significantly.

If you were any good at math or regularly followed the progress of movie grosses week to week, you'd know that while a steep drop from an initially large weekend is to be expected, the progress of any movie is diminishing returns as audiences stop turning up for it. Drop 80% in all territories on your second weekend and be projected to drop 60% or more from there on your third and you're pretty much never going to hit a billion. Start with 100, drop to 20, then to 8, then to 3; that's 131, and you'll get another 5% of that on top in your last few months. In this case it's unlikely they can make $15m domestically in all of next weekend and probably as much overseas; with the following weekend on under $10m worldwide - if the drop they suffered this week is representative of future drops. Even if it's not, they're now so low they can't really make a convincing billion - 26 and 13 would be good weekends 3 and 4 right now. That means under 70 domestic in those two weeks.

It's also worth bearing in mind that China, currently propping up that overseas, is not only known to be dropping rapidly but is also still represented by estimates in most accounts.

Is there anything Snyder makes that isn't based on something else?

>DotD was a remake
>Watchmen 300 were adaptations, almost panel-to-panel and where people can't agree about wether the original parts were good enough
>The owls' movie was and adaptation
>Sucker Punch wasn't an adaptation, but had elements and set pieces that can barely count as original (LotR-looking orcs, for example) and the year before it just so happened that Carpenter made a movie about a mental patient allucinating things
>MoS and BvS aren't adaptations as direct as 300 and Watchmen, but they both have elements taken from different sources, to the point that in the final sequences BvS becomes not-Excalibur

Bats has some patrician taste in films.

>>81420271
Sucker Punch was his only 100% original film.

Hey, look at that, it's also his lowest-rated, even lower than the abysmal BvS.

The only way Snyder can even get to "mediocre" is by working with other people's material, and he even usually fucks that up.
>>
>>81420340
>patrician taste

What does this even mean
>>
I hated MoS so I went into this with the expectation that this would suck too. I think this helped because the movie wasnt that bad. The pacing was terrible and some of the scenes looked like a well produced commercial, but I cant say it was as bad as people say
>>
>>81420521
Patrician means aristocratic, or in this usage "refined or sophisticated."

I think anon is being ironic, though, because while Tyrone Powers and Basil Rathbone are both great actors from Hollywood's Golden Age, and The Mark of Zorro is on the National Film Registry, it's not exactly high or art cinema, it's a classic action-adventure movie.
