And that's it for Snyder...he's out.

 

[schlongdog]

Hahahahaha

The positive fan first impressions strike again!!!

 

[Miles Quaritch]

This should've been a homerun

Get synder off these films, ffs

Can we get rid of Snyder now please

Synder didn't write this though.

Unless I'm wrong?

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Well it looks like early impressions weren't as telling of critic reviews as some thought.

 

[Vilix]

When did Trump start reviewing movies

Let's make cinema great again.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Uproxx Mike Ryan really didn't like the movie, although he really wanted to.

Devin Faraci straight up called it the worst modern comic book movie lol

Robie Cohen, he just wrote a [URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice/zack-snyder-suckerpunch-defence/"]huge defense of Zack Snyder the other day, really didn't like it 2/5 stars at Telegraph[/URL]

Eric Kohn gave it a C- at Indiewire, "Trailers tease the premise of "Batman v. Superman" with the catchy hashtag #WhoShouldWin, but the movie inadvertently suggests that the real topic is #WhoShouldCare."

Matt Singer's Screencrush(4/10) was quite damning, I'm sure he's readying to delete his social media accounts as we speak

 

[mreddie]

Fucking hell.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Why is that the real test? Who cares what if makes

Ask the people who liked ASM2

 

[mrjohill]

Holy Shit.

My exact reaction

[RustyNails]

I bet no one gets pissed now if I call the director Hack Snyder. I dont know who's dicks he sucked to land such massive IP on his lap with a zero showing in his career of a directorial effort. Guy is just a glorified fanboy nothing more.

 

[jett]

Well fuck. How to you screw up something this important up? Well hopefully WB rethinks Snyder for Justice League.

They haven't yet started filming, so it could happen I guess. What are they gonna do about Terrio's scripts tho.

 

[Oddduck]

1 Fresh...10 Rotten...

What the fuck..

 

[RS4-]

Fuck me, I was expecting something like 70s on the RT

 

[Schweinehund]

humorless, not fun.

Well fuck, seems like critics really don't want variety.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

This sucks

Will still watch it.

 

[Tookay]

Tell me, do you even rotten?

 

[adj_noun]

Uh oh.

Suicide Squad, save us!

 

[-MD-]

I remember when Snyder made a good film.

That was back in 2004 though.

 

[ZeroX03]

Gaffers seemed generally positive so far. I'm not too worried.

 

[gdt]

Now comes the real test: How much (if at all) this effects the film's box office.

It's gonna murder the WOM.

 

[BronsonLee]

Reviews are vicious. My impressions weren't glowing, but they're going in hard.

 

[bbd23]

Heh, I knew this was going to happen after that terrible second trailer.

 

[Plinko]

LOL like we didn't know this from that terrible trailer.

 

[Rapscallion]

What I expected. MoS was a terrible film and they tried to jam way too much into this movie.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Expected. Glad I didn't get hyped for it. Will still see it though only because I have an unlimited card.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Wow.
I honestly expected the reviews to quite good.
I feel bad for these writers since dc fanboys are going eat them alive on Twitter.

 

[paragonpro]

That's a wrap for Zack Snyder.

Pretty sad about this.

If they cant salvage this with the bo, than I think its a wrap for the dccu. Hopefully suicide squad does well, it would be a shame for us to lose our wonder woman movie and flash because of zack snyders failings.

 

[Jigorath]

Fucking hell.

Was looking for a GIF for the OP,

 

[Xater]

Seems like getting Snyder back after Man of Steel was a big mistake. Can't believe they put him in charge of Justice League as well.

I did not expect this to be good, but was hoping to be wrong. Seems it's just as messy as the trailers suggested.

 

[VanWinkle]

Way worse than I expected, and I wasn't expecting amazing scores. Very sad.

I just hope that it doesn't have any effect on the slate of DC films being released. If it means moving Snyder off of JL, that's fine, but I hope and assume DC will stick out their new universe regardless.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I remember when Snyder made a good film.

That was back in 2004 though.

I've been holding out hope since Dawn of the Dead for a long minute b

He did say BA is the best modern batman. That's something....

 

[Prompto]

Save us David Ayer

 

[FStop7]

It's the late 80s all over again. Marvel's style is fairly lighthearted with some serious moments and DC is full Grimdark McBro.

 

[Evo X]

Thought Man of Steel was a complete turd, not expecting much for this. I hope it's funny at least, to make up for the sorry writing and dialogue.

I saw a screening last night. The movie has exactly one joke in it. I am not kidding.

 

[Dysun]

I'll see for myself soon enough, but the initial receptions aren't pretty. Although I dont see the dour tone as a negative, that has been obvious for years.

rip sweet prince

may the batfleck roam free to make his own movie

 

[Ashodin]

1 fresh 10 rotten holy sheeeeeeeeit

 

[Dang0]

Comic Book Resources - No Score

Overambitious and overlong, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" aims to tell a collection of stories instead of focusing on one. In doing so, it underserves its classic characters, undercuts its battle scenes, and disrespects the audience who has been waiting decades to see this epic showdown on the big screen.

 

[Bluekaveli]

I'm dead

 

[sobaka770]

At least we're

Spoiler

(probably)

done with Snyder and his visually pleasing but otherwise soulless movies. DC will need another reboot though.

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

Yikes! Maybe they should have included the DC TV universe after all.

 

[Osahi]

Exactly as I expected. Trailers never did it for me and only Snyder movie I ever liked was Watchmen, which had big flaws too

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Oh to be a fly over at WB HQ right now!

 

[Sibersk Esto]

GAF couldn't have been this right.

Three years of MOS and BVS threads devolving into a maelstrom of arguing

They couldn't have

Could they?

 

[gamz]

Pre-order canceled!

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Damn they're going for the jugular.

 

[mrjohill]

Y'all ready for another batman trilogy?

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

humorless, not fun.

Well fuck, seems like critics really don't want variety.

Yeah, I'm sure that's the issue.
