Yup..rated R!Is this "Ultimate Cut" actually confirmed?
A lot of the individual scenes in the film were phenomenal, they were just stitched together incredibly poorly.

Blade trilogy was honestly shit. There was nothing to write home about the writing. And the best movie in The Dark Knight trilogy was mostly written by Christopher Nolan. And MoS is shit in the script department too. Goyer is a terrible writer.
Genuinely baffled that its RT score is so much lower than Marvel's stuff. How so many people could love, say, Ant-Man or Thor 1, but hate on BvS is very strange to me.
Zack Snyder said:We call it the Ultimate Cut because to me it’s a deeper dive into that world and there are storylines in there that get fleshed out by the longer version… I would say that we didn’t really take out much of the Superman/Batman story because I felt like, you know that’s kind of the movie, but there was some sort of interstitial stuff that surrounds the story, that kind of finishes some of the ideas that we trimmed back, and I think that’s what you get
If you watch Watchmen on TNT or whatever, the TV cut, it’s the movie, it’s in there, if you watch it you’re like, ‘Oh okay, I get it,’ but all the edges get knocked off of it by the nature of putting something that’s kind of that rough on TV. In a weird way, the theatrical cut is a step up from that, and then the director’s cut [of Watchmen] is really where it’s at, in my opinion. With a movie like that where I was in a, I don’t wanna say I was in a battle with the studio but I was probably more headstrong on that movie because the material was so important to me.
It remains to be seen how much the ultimate cut changes the movie -- and whether it's story issues are rooted in bad writing, bad editing or both -- but as is, I would say Goyer's MoS script is better than Terrio's here. Which is something I definitely never thought I would say. :lol

I'd say Winter Solider, Guardians, Cap 1, and Avengers 1 are definitely better. Iron Man 1 is probably within BvS's range. Actually haven't seen Ant Man.
Thor 2 and Iron Man 3 are the bottom tier. Iron Man 2, Thor 1, Norton Hulk are all a step above, but I'd rank them below MoS and BvS by a pretty wide margin.
Can someone confirm whether batman gets lifted up by bats in a Christ like pose?
I wouldn't even put Iron Man 2, the nadir of MCU movies, on the level of BvS.

Thanks for the laugh, best joke of the day.Iron Man 1 is probably within BvS's range.

VERDICT: RENT
Let me be clear: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, is not a bad movie. Its not Sucker Punch or Fantastic Four (all three) levels of mediocre to awful. Not every movie falls into the categories of Greatest of All Time, or Dog shit. There are many layers of quality, and Dawn of Justice does not tread anywhere near Dog shit. Nor does it soars to the heights of GOAT.
The acting is solid. Visual effects are nice. Action scenes are Snyder doing what he does, and doing it well. My issues primarily stem with the bloated, unfocused, and sloppily edited plot/pacing, and some questionable choices as far as characterization goes (ie, the ease at which Superman and Batman kill others without comment or regret). Is it a trainwreck? No. But its not a very good movie. Nor is it bad. The most damning criticism I can level at it is that its sadly, boring. Two hours and thirty minutes of screentime, yet it could have easily been pared down to two hours or less, and been a much tighter paced, satisfying film.
At the very least, it is worth a Rent when it become available on Blu Ray and Video on Demand services. I cant recommend spending money on the film in the theater unless you can get good priced tickets (the theater by my home is anywhere between $18-$24 per ticket, and I go with my wife, so, $50+ for a trip to a movie I may not like wasnt the most appealing prospect, but I digress). If you really want to see the film in all of its big screen spectacle (and I admit Snyder does spectacle very well), by all means, treat yourself. For everyone else, a solid rental, on your comfy couch and maybe a few drinks could help the movie go down easier.

Delussion isn't there. Come on folks.
Hey now.
Heeey now.
No.
lmao nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be--it's too damn long for sure, but very solid
definitely not Amazing Spiderman 2, or Daredevil bad. I'd have it above Avengers 2, maybe above Avengers 1 because I think that film has aged like shit, but not Winter Soldier tier
but oooff....that was a really long film. but its good.

I hated this and asm2 for the exact same reasons.
Kind of surreal.
As long as we're talking comparisons, I think I liked this better than Dark Knight Rises.

Ah..the horses..It's almost like greedy companies are more concerned with trying to build a universe of spin-offs instead of focusing on making a satisfying, self-contained film that makes any semblance of sense.
This is "put the cart a mile ahead of the horse" syndrome.
Ah..the horses..
Depends if you mean Marvel in terms of properties.List of Marvel movies that BvS is better then: None
Marvel at least largely respects the source material and the movies are coherent.
You know what was funny? That fucking crate in thefight."Save Martha"
I laughed my ass off when it bounced off of that soldier's face like a rubber sandwich.
Nah that would be the thors or amazing spidermans
TDKR is starting to look like apocalypse now with every passing year that this genre continues
Lord Nolan has abandoned us
I would say Marvel is like White Bread and DC is like Flatbread for the most part.Marvel movies are like canned tuna. Even if it's not fine dining, you can still spread it on a piece of toast and it's at least edible.
BvS was like a plate of messy nachos. You gotta dig and pick around things to get a bite that isn't drenched and soggy from too many ingredients.
I rewatched Superman Returns with more appreciation no doubt.I had a new found appreciation for how hard it is to make films when I left the cinema after seeing Batman v Superman.
You can have all the right elements and still fuck it up.
During the Batman v Superman fight why didn't Supes just say," straight off?Bruce, they have my mother".
