>>82614497
It's been over since X2

>X-Men: The Last Stand is X2: X-Men United compared to X-Men: Apocalypse.

I don't believe this reviewer

not because I believe Apocalypse will be good, but because I think it's ludicrous to think anything could make X3 look good in comparison

>>82614497
The trailers looked like pure shit, is anyone surprised by this?

>>82614530
I agree. It would take some hilariously incompetence to make a movie that bad. This just looks like another boring generic action movie which is what I gather from most of the other reviews too.

One day they will understand Xmen work best in CGI cartoon style, like big hero 6.
Actors can't deliver the raw style required to make shit like Beast not look like Dobson cosplayer

So. Whens fox selling the rights back to marvel?

>>82614615

>>82614638
Apocalypse is in it, did you really expect it to be any good? Easily the worse Marvel villain.

Well fuck. It didn't look good.

Obviously, the characters being recast in a prequel didn't help an already mediocre series. Future Past worked so well because it connected to the good part of the series. Sansa just looks fucking stupid with her stupid cock sucking red ass lipstick mouth.

I don't get these kinds of comparisons. What if someone reading the review hated First Class (not me, mind you)? What are they gonna get from that? It's all subjective so why bother.

>>82614649
Is that why other Fox superhero movies scored well?

>>82614658

>>82614497
quick add deadpool to every x-men movie fast

>>82614658
I would haev considered this a serious possibility (they'll hire a yes man for the next one and the series will continue to decline), but Deadpool made too much money. If they can bank on Deadpool and the X-Force they'll be able to manage without Marvel.

>>82614746
Not Disney Strange but Suicide Squad in addition to not being disney probably has references to BvS so that's probably going to bring back painful memories for critics and hurt the score

I wonder what'll happen if it ends up as low as BvS.

I also wonder why (assuming the conspiracy is real, and It is indeed Happening) Disney didn't pay off critics for Deadpool. Maybe they assumed it would have flopped out of the box.

>>82614578
Fuck off, the X-men films probably have the best acting among all the comic book movies that are not called ''The Dark Knight''.

Even Wolverine Origins was't that bad quality and actiong wise copared with Thor 2 and Iron Man 3.

>>82614718
no one expected Deadpool to do that well with critics and box office
after that is when they went into panic mode and smear the shit out of BvS and big up Jungle Book and Civil War

This could be a new thing going on.

Other studios are starting the shared universe thing so they want a monopoly on having the BEST.

They are even reports about a SINGLE person going into movie theaters and buying all the seats that haven't sold on any showings that wasn't full, so they can inflate the numbers on the box office.

People don't know that the box office money is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to studios making money out of their properties, they make 3 times more with merchandise alone

I remember a post. Anon said Disney's movies have completely warped everyone's opinions of how Superhero films should be done. Another anon made a response; that was paranoid as fuck. But since BvS didn't do that great with the critics, we only have to see what kind of scores X-men gets before we can start wholly blaming Disney.

I think we've reached a point where we can say that the MCU has single handedly destroyed this subgenre.

>>82614930

BvS was shit. And not because it wasn't MCU, it was a plain badly written movie. X-men 3 and Origins was schlock too, not to mention F4. It's not that hard to believe Fox fucked up again.

But no, I bet it was Disney. Actually I'm 100% sure every single one of those negative reviews were written by critics being held at gunpoint by a group of Disney executives led by RDJ.

Wonder if it will fall lower than BvS

To humor your conspiracy theory with the water tightness of a fishnet first of all Tim Burton always wins, it doesn't matter the property he's built up a little cult since before Alice or Disney, secondly people don't know or care what Alice was, is or will be about anymore but everyone loves any Alice in Wonderland spinoffs, references, etc. Again building off public favor. Thirdly it's got a bunch of faces hamming it up. Again building off pre-existing public favor.

Now don't get me wrong, I detest every last thing above the above checklist but the fact is it draws gullibility and money.

Don't need to say anything about Bryan and Brett really. If you like them that's fine but we're talking public favor. The public seeing their names behind Returns and Last Stand isn't pulling much favor.
X-Men's visibility and favor in the public eye is questionable right now. 00s, 90s, 80s this would have an automatic 80 and up just for being X-Men. Today ain't those days of future past.
The Star Power can only do so much.

More importantly at the end of the day the rating on a site like RT is only so important. Whether or not it makes a return or profit, not in comparison to other things but just itself, and how critics receive the entry and direction is all that matters but if I'm honest I honestly want Bryan off and someone with a different approach to helm this thing. Doesn't have to be Marvel or Disney, just someone with something that doesn't make me feel like I've been watching the Mutant Harry Potter series.

Anon, BvS may have been poorly written and directed, but most critics couldn't shut up about how the movie was too dark and grim. The MCU has undoubtedly warped audiences' minds and is cashing in on the public's aversion to anything mean-spirited.

>>82615064
No because so far the movies that have been shat on by critics have been accordingly bad. If BvS truly was a kino masterpiece, you might have a point, but it was shit and deserved to get shat on.

>>82615023
I'm literally shock. I thought Deadpool was going to suck major ass and Apocalypse be great.

Instead Deadpool ended being the funniest movie of the year and Apocalypse looks like it going to end up a pile of dreck. I'm feeling sorry for Oscar Isaac, here's hoping that Poe will redeem him in Episode VIII.

BvS wasn't shit though. it was at least a nice salad

>>82614789

Batman is in SS. But it should be inconsequential. A critic should judge a movie on it's own merits. It reminds me of when a critic who hated BvS said at least she had Civil War and X-Men to wash the taste out of her mouth, she had decided what movies would be good before even seeing them and now it turns out X-Men is a giant pile of shit

>>82615092

Ah, but those movies weren't trying to be the culture changer that Batman v Superman was. BvS fell and it fell from a very, very, very, very high point. Which makes it that much more laughable.

Part of it is lighting. That desaturated blue "look how serious we are" lighting ages people like milk in the best of times but when you do it to gingers it makes them look fully zombified.

Amy Adams suffered in the same way in Man of Steel. That lighting makes her look a decade older than she is.

What ended up biting BvS hard in the ass was how much Snyder and WB had hyped and praised it prior to release. People were expecting something game-changing, a movie that would, so to speak, BTFO of capeshit and Disney.

>>82615105
Not him, but when I went to see Civil War I heard two guys in the movie theater bathroom trash-talking BvS.

>>82615138
The very idea of Batman versus Superman has always been received as too dark and grim. Frank was relying on that reception when he injected it into TDKR.

You could have nothing but snuff and smut films put out back to back to condition your audience and people would still see it as that. We're talking Superman and Batman here. They have a range of interpretations sure, but most people are familiar with them being do-gooders. Granted the idea of BvS can be executed well with the right team behind it but the point is it is an inherently precarious premise to begin with. No one who is uncertain should be behind such a balancing act.

>>82614615

"Let's put a lot of action and violence in it! Kids love action and violence!"
"Let's put a lot of sexualization in it! Kids love sexualization!"
"Well we did all of that in our previous movies,and they got shitty sales and bad reviews!"
"What!? How did it get shitty sales!? People will go watch shitty movies so long as it looks cool, and they don't know before hand that it'll be shitty. That's why we pump millions in commercial advertisements!!"
"Yeah, but reviewers from all around watch the movie and give it low reviews. They keep talking about lame things, like how there's no plot, or that the characters are flat and boring."
"HUH!? Nobody watches action movies for the story or the characters! They want explosions, and sexy ninja chicks in latex beating up robots and stuff. This is America."
"YEAH! I mean we're talking about total idiots here! I didn't attend Cal Arts for years worth of training in educating people only to be told by others what they actually want!! They want what I TELL them they want!!! Cal Arts told me so!!!"
"Dooohh I wish we could somehow stop those reviewers from informing others on how terrible our movie is...they're infringing upon our ability to steal money from stupid teenagers and neckbeard losers!!"
"The first amendment protects those reviewers."

Apocalypse has no stakes. Xavier, Magneto, Mystique, and Wolverine will all survive.

And this is ESPECIALLY a problem because anyone that's read any X-men knows that plot armor is an A List mutant power. They wanna end the world? They wanna up the stakes? Kill J-Law. Kill Xavier. Don't just give us a bunch of new students and blow them up on a bus.

>>82615370
>This begins the end of fox's tyranny!!!

You'd have a point if Deadpool was bad, but it was a huge hit both critically and commercially.

Man, if Deadpool flopped, Fox would be in deep shit right now between that, Fan4stic, and now Apocalypse.

RT may be biased, and critic reviews may be paid off- I won't debate that.

But user reviews are something else entirely- and while they weren't as harsh with BvS and MoS as we are and critics are, they still didn't like those two movies as much as CW and Deadpool.

I'm intrigued to see what people think of Apocalypse, but I usually agree with RT scores, and this isn't looking good.

>>82615217

Civil War had hardly any quips in it. Hell the last moments had literally no jokes expect one at the end.

You forgot Civil War

FC and DoFP were seriously a lot better than what came before, it's disappointing (but I think inevitable, in the wake of Singer assuming more and more control and the studio getting nervous about Fantastic Four) they've reverted in quality.

I don't think Disney is paying anybody off, I don't think there is a conspiracy. But I do believe that because of the MCU's success that critics believe that a Superhero movie should be an action comedy and if it isn't comedic it's failed

>>82615439
X3 was the worst cape film of all time.

https://www.thewrap.com/x-men-apocalypse-review/

>Where “Apocalypse” falls apart is with its titular villain: He’s generically evil, setting out essentially to destroy everyone and everything on the planet, a plan that’s not only difficult to take seriously but also gives screenwriter Simon Kinberg (“Fantastic Four”) no metaphorical meat. Previous “X-Men” installments used the mutants and their struggles to comment on everything from the civil rights movement to coming-out in the LGBT community, but all we can take from this film is standard-issue superhero battles.

>Those skirmishes are perfectly fine, granted, but they don’t amount to much since the bad guy is such a blank and since we never feel that Apocalypse is going to succeed; you’ll find more genuine stakes in “The Angry Birds Movie.” Even the film’s action centerpiece — Quicksilver rescuing everyone from an exploding building in cheeky slo-mo — feels like an exact copy of a better sequence from “Days of Future Past.”

Didn't we all say that Apocalypse was a lame excuse for a world-destroying villain who always jobs? I feel like people who knew about the character have been saying that for years.

>>82614518

days of future past was better than X2

>>82615375
>What bothers me is these directors and writers just HAVE to know what's good and what's not,
Why do they have to know that?
And even assuming they do, movies don't work that way, bro. Producers have their list of demands, actors and agents have their demands, and little by little all those demands fuck with any script and then you're left with shit more often than not.

Yeah, and I'd agree with him. Lately, I haven't been coming away from MCU movies wanting to talk more about them. They're just something to get hyped about and wait for the next. I'm really hoping Doctor Strange can break the mold.

>>82615409
Implying it's not the best thing to do.

>>82615370
With Deadpool as their Winter Soldier they're just going to pull a Marvel and redirect future concepts around a similar approach.

I'm not sure if they'll hamfistedly make Deadpool the center of things but expect X-Force, Wolverine and the like to follow similar beats to DP with or without his presence.

>>82615424

>Don't kill McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawerence, or Jackman. Do kill off a bunch of C and D list mutants nobody recognizes in the same movie they're introduced in.

Please. Dark tone isn't a risk. Collateral damage isn't a risk .You know what was a risk? Deadpool. That's why thy didn't shove a ton of money at the project and let the cast and crew do their own thing. It's why that movie had a shoestring budget; because when a project is ACTUALLY risky Hollywood isn't going to spend a ton of money on it!

>>82615375
>By now the formula is well established!
You just answered your own question; people don't like sticking to formula because it gets dull. You might have a good hamburger recipe, but you eat it every day for a month you'll get bored.

Of course, a lot of experiments fail. BvS tried to experiment with the superhero movie formula but it also had the studio trying to keep it within formula and Zack Snyder having a lot of genuinely bad ideas, so it ended up falling down.

Deadpool went against formula and was actually a pretty good film, all things considered.

This is an odd case, in that it's very much formula but after two X-Men films that weren't as much, it comes off quite disappointing as a capstone to this trilogy.

>>82615489
Well it was their first live-action debut together onscreen for the first time, and they fucked it up.

>>82615409
What Fox has done with and to the FF is a human rights violation. There is very little anyone else could do worse outside a porn parody, which would still probably have its moments in comparison.

>>82615409

So of the 8 X-men movies, only 2 of them are bad. 3 if you count The Wolverine. Even if you don't count Deadpool and count Wolverine, that's still 3/7 bad, so no, the majority of X-men movies are certainly not shit.

>>82615315

Nobody ever claims that has "stakes".. Just that it's entertaining.

>>82615105
Not that anon, but the general audiences' distaste for the movie was clear in my theater.

At first people were excited, some even cheered at the title screen. As it went on, everyone fell deadly silent, no americlaps, no laughing at the jokes, no excitement over seeing these iconic characters together on screen at last. People were yawning, texting on their phones, began laughing at things that were supposed to be cool and/or serious (Wonder Woman guitar riff, MARTHA, LOIS IS THE KEY!!) sending each other 'what the fuck was that?' looks constantly over the bizarre choice that was Eisenberg-Lex.

You could see the disappointment in their faces when leaving the theater. One guy in front of me turned to his friend and said 'well I like Batman too much to hate it....so uh.. yeah..' None of the 4 people I saw it with (2 of them casuals) enjoyed it.

And for the record, this was on premiere night, before the bad reviews started coming in.

>>82615539

I'm bored of the X-Men. The absolute worst Idea was to have them all in one continuity. First Class should have been a clean reboot

>>82615565
Deadpool and CW were great

>>82615446
I worry about Deadpool now. If it ends up being the only thing Fox can reliably sell they might get very hands-on with the sequel and ruin it.

>>82614497
Gotta say getting sick of critics tear apart non Marvel capeshit for stuff that Marvel is guilty of

>>82615446
Hopefully the take away from Deadpool is that putting love and craft into their films while not being scared of embracing the comics while letting the creators have more control rather than having a bunch of forced executive meddling will result in great, well-received, and commercially succesful movies.

However, I fear their big take away will just be "make it R-rated and stuff it with dick jokes. Kids love that shit."

Doc Strange is shaping up to be a pretty big clusterfuck.

>>82615581
It was technically, it's a part of a new timeline

The worst part about this is that it means instead of X-men movies and a healthy side of Deadpool, the suits will start only shoving Deadpool down our throats from now on.

>>82614935
Dark Knight is STILL the most acclaimed superhero movie in history, and people DO remember that - in fact, BvS had a lot of comparisons to The Dark Knight.
Also, Deadpool was highly acclaimed too. Just suck up the fact that superhero movies are big business now, so many decisions will be made by money people, and money people have no goddamn idea how to make art but like to pretend they're relevant.

I think that might be the thing, MCU is exactly as concerned with making good movies

I mean, many critics were disappointed in Age of Ultron, and it has gotten only 75% RT but somehow everyone forgets that (for the record, The Dark Knight Rises got 87% RT).
Similarly, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3 were accepted as "decent" rather some mindblowing revelations.

Like, everything about Dr Strange sounds like it's gonna be terrible - Tilda Swinton and Benedict Cumberbatch might be the most miscast choices ever made - I doubt it will flop, but I doubt it will do exceptionally well either. I think decision to cast Cumberbatch came mostly from attempt to bank on his viral fame, and noone was bright enough to realize that viral fame doesn't last long (all fangirls that drooled over Bingdick Cumslut now drool over Chris Evans).

Does that really apply here? A lot of reviewers seem to go to the Fox-Men movies for the socio-political commentary which is smarter than the MCU or DC. This one apparently lacks that, or is poorly executed, and just has low-stakes, big disaster movie destruction scenes.

Remember that time the First Class and Days of Future Past were critically panned because they weren't reminiscent of MCU films?

Oh wait no? They weren't hated?

>>82615637

How so?

Man, how come WB and Fox are the only retarded companies who can't pay critics?

I mean, only Disney does it? Something doesn't add up.

>>82615591
Deadpool was okay, it didn't blow my mind but it was really funny. CW is insanely overrated. Not even close to the focused character piece that TWS managed to be. The only time I felt involved in CW was when Spider-Man showed up and in the final battle (where it managed to make me root for Iron Man somehow).

I blame JLaw entirely for forcing them to give her a bigger role in these films even though Mystique is just a supporting character.

>>82615479
>Didn't we all say that Apocalypse was a lame excuse for a world-destroying villain who always jobs? I feel like people who knew about the character have been saying that for years.
We did. Hell, before BvS came out, everyone was saying Age of Apocalypse looked like cheap generic phoned in trash albeit with a QT Jubilee. At no point was there high hopes or hype for this movie. It was going to be a 6/10 at best and we were all making fun of Ivan Ooze Apocalypse, Cosplayer Olivia Munn, and J-Law's Diva refusal to wear the makeup and do her goddamn job.

Now though? Now because some douchebag in marketing did the whole "IT'S EPIC AND EDGY" a bunch of faggots from /tv/ can use Apocalypse as an unsung heroic underdog to prop up their Disney Illuminati conspiracy shitposts.

This movie looks to be performing EXACTLY how everyone expected it to and now there's just a fag or two that wants to play contrarian like always and act like that wasn't a case to further console war bullshit and hate on what's successful.

>>82615257
Dude, not a single goddamned person on the earth EARTH ever thought that batman vs superman was going to be an interesting fight.
The only people who actually think that are full on degenerate batman fans. And even they think batman winning in a straight up brawl is fucking retarded

BvS was only thought to be a 100% slam dunk by absolute fucking retards.

I agree that it's stupid the suggest that Disney are buying critics to hate on non-MCU movies and I also agree that Civil War is much better than BvS But I'm gonna play devil’s advocate and say I can't help but think that some MCU movies are massively overrated on RT.

Iron Man, TWS, GotG, Antman and Civil War were legit good but I can't for the life of me understand why movies like subsequent Iron Man movies, the Thor movies or Age of Ultron have such high ratings. They're not terrible, but they ain't that great either.

Didn't Deadpool have less Fox involvement, if so then we should keep it that way which I think they said they would do

What? The idea of Batman fighting Superman is great and filled with loads of potential.

Somehow, ASM2 is bad and Ant-Man which is guilty of all of the same crap is underrated. I wonder why THAT is?

>>82615482

Why do they have to know!?!? IT'S THEIR FUCKING JOB!!!!!

I'm aware outside forces screw up the script-writing process for many movies, but I refuse to believe there exists people who work in movies who DON'T know what makes a good movie, regardless of what changes they want. Look at all the lessons being taught!!! Look at all the money and credibility being lost!!!

Do you know why Disney keeps making so much money on their action movies!?!? It's because Disney knows damn well that they need to STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THE MOVIE MAKING PROCESS and let those they hire who KNOW their audience and have the PASSION to write great adaptions will make them WAY MORE money if they just STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!!!

Butting their nose in the creative process costs them WAY MORE money than if they just LISTEN to their audience! Everyone knows this....they are just at the point where they want to pump out shit intentionally and hope they make a profit because it's EASIER and requires having a SOUL!

I'm glad the trend is killing them. In enough time they'll eventually be consumed by their own obscurity and lackluster void of competence.

You're not wrong, but it's almost always because those critics are being intentionally contrarian so their blogs get more hits. See: Armond White or the guy that gave the first rotten Civil War review then pretty much explicitly admitted that he only shat on it for attention.

No one pays attention to the hundredth positive review of a well-received movie, but people definitely pay attention to the 5 bad reviews of a well-received movie, and vice-versa. A universally shat on movie will have the positive reviews get more attention because they stand out. Even Norm of the North got some positive reviews.

Dude, they fucking cast Reynolds as Deadpool.

Let's make something clear. Reynolds is not a box office draw. He's a nice addition as a jokey guy if it's the right movie but not a draw.
AND his name was mud in comic land after the GL debacle.

HOWEVER his personality and acting style perfectly meshed with the brilliant Kelly Deadpool. It's basically one of the only things in the Wolverine movie that everyone agreed was a 100% highlight.

This was a MAJOR risk.
And you know what.
They knocked that shit out of the park.

>>82615834

If you deny this, that's exactly why Marvel is given a free pass for making bad movies, and other's aren't. If Marvel made Amazing Spider-Man 2 or Batman v. Superman, they'd be 75% on Rotten Tomatoes, tops.

>>82615757
She already did.

>>82615563
Deadpool was a huge risk. That's why Reynolds spent the better part of a decade begging Fox to let him and his crew make it, only for them to finally concede, but with a fucking tiny budget and released in February, the month where you only release awful movies because you know they will fail if released any other time of the year.

Making an R-rated capefilm was a huge risk, and Fox mitigated that risk by giving it no budget and going in expecting it to fail.

>>82615851
I get the impression Fox was a bit hands off for that and for writing at least Marvel lent a hand a little bit behind the scenes, and there was definitely some winking and shit going on with that fucking helicarrier.

>>82615837

She's one of those stuck up people who only care about being famous, like Paris Hilton or the Kardashians.

You think she ever gave a flying fuck about video games back when she was on G4? Hell no. Some of her interviews at E3 had her ask questions half-heartedly and then barely pay attention when the guy was answering.

She's an attention whore, nothing more.

Yeah it's like >>82615735 said, Age of Ultron is Marvel's BvS, why isn't it rotten? How about Spider-Man, if the movie is held accountable for it's flaws, why isn't Thor 2?

>>82615370
Why would I be happy? I love the X-men movies, and thought after First Class, DoFP, and Deadpool, they were finally back on track. I was hype as fuck for this movie. Don't get me wrong, I love the MCU movies too, but them having the X-men would just mean LESS X-men movies, not more, since any X-men movie would mean one less MCU movie. Both of them being done by separate people meant we would get more of both.

The only "end of fox's tyranny" I want is for them to never touch the Fantastic Four ever again and sell it back to Disney fucking ASAP. What they've done to the F4 is inexcusable.

>>82615768
No the fuck it isn't.
It was never filled with any kind of real potential.
It's fucking stupid. The kind of stupid shit that even comic fans roll their eyes at.

I was a hardcore batman and cool guy with no or low level powers who was able to do cool shit kind fan.

And I defended batman doing a lot LOT of stupid shit. But beating up superman or even hurting him is fucking retarded. I don't give a shit how much kryptonite they throw at him.

And how in gods name could batman think that bat armor that has the fucking MOUTH EXPOSED will stop a man who can STARE FLAMING HOLES THROUGH THINGS.

BvS is an ideological battle or a battle where batman uses every single thing he knows about superman against him and THEN gets out the kryptonite.
Anything else is fucking retarded wank that even comic fans think is shit.

>>82615830

Deadpool was made because Reynolds and his buddies harassed Fox for years. So they gave them fuck all money just to get them off their backs about it

There's no way deadpool is a risk. I can't think of a character more appealing to general audiences, really. It was almost bound to be a success

>Deadpool = good
>BvS = bad
>Civil War = good
>X-Men Apoc = bad

So every other capeshit movie this year ends up good.

Does that mean Suicide Squad will be good and Doctor Strange will stink?

>>82615860
Just imagine the X-Men world filled with MCU-tier waifus.

>>82615966
Because Age of Ultron was better than BvS. I don't know about Thor 2 though, the only people I can see giving enough of a shit to talk about it are houswives

Is anyone doubting that Disney didn't pay off these shills? We all know what happens when a Fox movie succeeds. Suddenly critics start seeing the MCU for what it really is. No one goes to watch MCU films anymore and their profits start dipping massively.

If there ever was a good rated Fox movie, Disney would literally be selling empty theaters.

>>82615242
How can one man be so based?

>>82615816
This isn't even Fox Shills. Fox shills are riding high on Deadpool and Wolverine III news. This is Snyderfags trying to force their conspiracy meme.

This. You know he will.

>>82614497

>BvS killed the hype for any superheroe movie that isn't Marvel's

The Mouse won.

>>82615884
But it is and honestly wasn't that bad in comparison to the first one, now the first one suffered from dude where's my hammer and de-powering in the first fucking movie which is the worst way to introduce Thor of all people and that deserves every bit of hate

The trailers looked like shit, so no wonder it would turn out to be shit as well. Especially since Xavier and Magneto are backseats to Jennifer Lawrence.

>>82615477
Catwoman.

>"It had potential!"
Having potential doesn't make a shit movie better, it makes it worse.

>>82615845

>>82615815
Fuck off Marvel shills. It was better than your precious Age of Quiptron and Civil Quips.

>>82615949
So wait, do we never get to see Cyke hold up the Dazzler record? What even is the point of having it in that era then? Honestly, that might ruin any chances of me seeing it right there alone.

>>82615479

Yep. Their first mistake was straying away from Claremont. Their second mistake was Apocalypse instead of Mr. Sinister.

That's my fucking point. This isn't a "Audiences only like Disney! Audiences only like MCU! Audiences hate risky movies!"

This is just that there were two crappy movies and the site that worships being contrarian needs to justify it however they can.

A bunch of hipsters, the lot of you.

>>82615840
Dude, Strange, and I HATE to say this, is shaping up to be a horribly cast disaster.

This is litterally the one film where they could have gone plain clothes with a bit of theatrics and knocked it out of the park.

We exist in a world where Deadpool did better than a movie with Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
Shit's crazy.

>>82616062
Yeah I know.
Really should have had Apocalypse as this horrifying POSSIBILITY that would come to pass if so and so happened.

And Mr.Sinister would be right up Singer's alley.

>>82616137
Reverse those characters bucko

>>82616021
It wasn't better, Age of Ultron WAS BvS. Both movies have their moments but their irredeemable. They have shit villains, shit character motivations, and nothing drives the movie forward, it's all one big excuse for more sequels. You could have good casting and chemistry between characters but that doesn't remotely make a movie good.

Why isn't Age of Ultron Rotten? Why is it given a slap on the wrist AT ALL where Spider-Man, X-Men and DC cape shit are just outright attacked?

>>82616136
His first statement seems to make it clear, he's tired of them harping on about it.

>superhero movie gets bad reviews
>everyone blames Disney/Marvel
>conversation somehow devolves into people defending BvS/MoS
Every time.

>>82615973
What? Dude, you're just going on about powerlevel stuff that doesn't make any difference at all to the potential of the movie. Potential of the fight maybe, but even then your complaints make no sense because there's always a way to write a situation where Batman beats Superman (and obviously vice versa).
>Mouth weakness
You do realize that Superman doesn't kill right? Because Batman realizes that.

It's not impossible, I suppose. I do sort of wonder if or when the MCU will make a movie that audiences and critics will just reject. So far, we haven't had one that more people and critics actually expressed that they disliked it more than liked it.

Because BvS is Batman and Superman. These are heroes which people have had strong emotional connections to for decades. When the Avengers fail, it's just a meh movie anyone can look past. When BvS fails, it feels so much worse.

Tbh if Lex Luthor was his comic book counterpart I feel like I'd enjoy BvS. I literally can't stand rewatching the movie knowing that Eisenberg's Luthor is in it.

>>82616195

It will happen eventually. I'm not sure with what though

>>82616279
New DUNE movies when dammit.

>>82616225
That's absurd and you probably don't actually believe it. Nice nostalgic mis-en-scene does not a good Superman film make. It looked good, but ineffectual Superman, waifish Lois, the kid plot, Luthor's dumb plan, no action. Routh and Spacey could have been great w/ better writing.
