I liked the first one, better than Iron Man 3 at least. Is 2 that much a downgrade?

For real though, "This is what I made it look like" is some sad shit. Like a kid trying to get a watercolor painting put on the fridge but it look like he just sat down on the easel.

No one agreed to this. You don't got all the answers!
Besides, we agreed The Rocketeer is better than all comic films, with the exception of Dick Tracy. And Blankman v Meteor Man needs to happen.

No looking back!
I'd have to watch BvS again. Man, I dunno. Ultron's trailers were great but they were a false god. It gets worse with time. BvS...there's so much bad shit in it, but I REALLY like the good stuff. Same deal I had with TFA.
Oh my god

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Remember when people thought Batman v. Superman was going to be a "threat" to Captain America: Civil War?

Well Cavill's hairline is becoming a problem. At this rate he may have a LeBron style headband by JL.

What food stuff I found in BvsS I really liked as well, but at least in Ultron I didn't feel like it utterly destroyed my perspective of some of my favorite heroes. D:
I see the light. And at the end is James Spader being a bible thumping robot.

Jokes aside though, I think it was actually super unprofessional of that interviewer to ask a question regarding the negative reception of the movie. That's the sort of question you ask a few years later and the dust has settled.
"What was your favorite part of the shoot?"
"What surprised you about working with X actor/actress?"
Etc. It's not that hard to have an interview with positive vibes, even if everyone in the room knows the movie wasn't that good.
Edit: lmfao at that other video with the laughing guy

Lmao I kind of wish they didn't move it.
I would have loved to see a 29% rated film battle a pretty much guaranteed to be 90% rated film at the box office. My money would have been on Cap.

I don't. The film was getting critically trashed days before released. He was being kind when he said "mixed reception".

Alright, time for to post my full non-spoiler thoughts on the film. It's horrendous.
As I said before, I expected nothing but a trainwreck but figured it'd still be somewhat fun like Spider-Man 3 or the Transformers sequels. You know something which we can all agree is awful but you can still sit back and laugh at how horrible it is. I was not laughing at any point of BvS. No, instead my mouth was agape at several moments in the film as I tried to understand and process just what I was seeing on screen. Snyder utterly destroys the concept of both Batman and Superman and proves he never understood the characters.
So, where to start? Well, the movie is a bloated mess with some of the worst editing and pacing I've seen in a while. Whoever said that the movie picks up after the first half or is more coherent afterwards is a liar. The entire movie is a gigantic clusterfuck. Entirely different scenes just happen one after another without any setup and sequences which should be one continuous sequence are chopped up as the movie cuts away to other events. Oh and the soundtrack is pretty goddamn horrendous. I don't know, maybe if you are a child like Zack Snyder you appreciate heavy metal rock music blaring at maximum volume at even the smallest things but I do not. What else? Well, Eisenberg is as terrible as he seems in those trailers. I guess if you liked what you saw in those trailers then you'll "enjoy" his weird, quirky portrayal of Lex Luthor but I literally wanted to pull my eye balls out every time he was on screen.
And then there is the god awful third act, like something ripped straight out of a terrible video game. Oh and the setup for the JL is just shoved in with as much elegance as you would expect from Snyder. This movie seems to basically violate all aspects of basic film making and then deign to present itself as some higher form of art immune to criticism. I don't even know how the DCU can recover from this. I honestly would prefer if they entirely reboot everything again because I don't want to watch any franchise with the incarnations of these characters.
SPOILER STUFF:
Pros:
-Lawrence Fishbourne as Perry White.
-Um, what else? Batfleck is okay despite being written horribly and stupid.
-Gal Gadot I guess is a decent WW, she doesn't really do anything in the movie except for showing up at the third act.
-That's all I can think of.
Cons:
-Everything else.

SPOILER STUFF:
-WHY THE FUCK IS BATMAN MURDERING PEOPLE!? He's literally killing people without any remorse and seems to enjoy doing so.
-What was up with those Knightmare sequences? Why did Bruce know things in the dream sequences that he couldn't possibly have known in real life yet? Is he a goddamn Oracle?
-Why was some chic just laying in Bruce's bed, presumably him having just slept with her? Does Snyder not know that playboy Bruce Wayne IS JUST AN ACT!?
-Why in FUCK'S name is Batman USING A GUN!?
-Did we need to see the death of Bruce's parents again in gruesome detail? Why does even Thomas Wayne have to be a fighter?
-More destruction! MORE! I's okay the streets are clear this time everyone goes home at night, no one ever works late in Gotham or Metropolis.
-Superman is dead!? Superman is dead? What do we do now?

I'm not sure if I've ever seen that happen with other poorly reviewed blockbusters. Is this something that's common to do to actors overseas?

This movie hates Superman fans. Like I honestly believe that Snyder hates Superman. Or that he doesn't understand him. Or both. Whatever it is, Superman wasn't in this movie at all.
Unless your talking about the Batman interpretation. That made me upset but not as much as the pathetic depiction of Superman.
I always liked DC more then Marvel (and hell, like Flash more then any Marvel show) but DC movies can fuck right off at this point. Atleast Marvel gives me largely faithful adaptations/interpretations of my beloved characters.

Poor Henry Cavill 
I just came back from seeing it.
Good lord, it's true, all of it. I REALLY tried to like this movie, I hung on to the good parts (Batffleck, WW, the first 20 minutes), but everything is just so disjointed, pointless at the end.
at the end, nobody gave a shit. In part because
and because we barely know the character, even after two movies now.
Unbelievable.
Several people at my showing snickered at the part where Batman
The entire theater was exhausted and just "meh" overall at the end of the movie.

Nobody reacted to the death of Superman
we all knew he's doing more movies
Unbelievable.

decides not to kill Clark because he has a mother named Martha too.

This just showed up on my facebook sidebar:
Just came back from it. Not as bad as I was expecting, but certainly not without its flaws. Some extremely stupid plot points mixed with some inspired moments mixed with retina-burning action sequences. The worst thing I can say about it is that I'll forget it tomorrow.
Major spoiler!!!!
Major spoiler!!!!
glad a certain character died. The most uncharismatic depiction of a superhero for quite some time. Of course, I know he'll be back, but I'm ready to focus on other superheroes in the DC-verse
Guy photoshops BvsS's RT score to make himself feel better.
"Average Rating: 8.8/10"
8.8? Really? Methinks that particular "upset fan" was just trolling the other upset fans.
