Getting excited by all these negative reviews. Honestly, I'm excited at the thought of this dark universe. "More pessimistic than Anti-Christ"? Sign me the fuck up.

Oh yeah, I like Frank Millers Allstar Batman and Robin so this is probably right up my alley.

yeah I like dark Batman too

but you can be "dark" and great at the same time. this doesn't sound like it's the case with BvS. The Dark Knight is dark as fuck and currently sitting at a fucking 94 on rotten tomatoes.

33% and dropping. I remember when those rumors came out of the focus tests saying it was bad, I didn't want to believe it, but here we are.

Wanted to go about an hour early to the theater to get a good seat.

I'm starting to think that won't be an issue.
 
The more I read about this the more I get the impression that they really have just gone for some Frank Miller, alternate universe 'these guys are actually really scary and powerful assholes' approach. Snyder did Watchmen, now he wants to do TDK.

But it's incoherent, because it's also trying to be all these other things, and of course that doesn't work.

Film execs know when a film is bad too but it's their job to minimize the damage. Honestly I was a bit worried when I saw the release date, the end of march for a big blockbuster like this is a little worrying but I thought maybe they were just trying to put space between this and some of the other superhero/villain films this year.
 
What I find interesting is that many of the positive reviews say its better than MoS, but some of the harshest reviews came from critics that liked MoS.

Whats going on here?
