[Slayven]

So... about that Cyborg movie...

I bet money it is not happening

 

[Jigorath]

George Miller doesn't even want to do another blockbuster next. He's said that multiple times.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

All the talk about critics not giving "dark superhero movies" a chance is a bunch of hogwash. Even Snyder's own Watchmen, which is an actual R-rated superhero film and certainly far darker than this, is rated much better.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/watchmen/

Yeah. BvS is just a dumb, stupid movie which has few nice moments and mostly looks good. Not like a guy you would marry.

 

[LevelNth]

So roughly 5700 posts of people discussing or reacting to critics opinions as if movies can be objectively quantified so easily by non-experienced individuals whose primary CV requisite is 'watched lots of movies'.

Instead of arbitrarily allowing these 'reviews' to cloud and influence your own opinions so much that cognitive dissonance would occur should the opposite be true, how about maybe y'all just watch it for yourselves with an open mind and decide then?

 

[Dash_Riprock]

I bet money it is not happening

Anything that isn't in production right now is in jeopardy.

Yes, even the JLA film.

We'll know more in a couple days.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Hell yeah. That and suicide squad. I don't think Snyder is on those right? Besides, we are in a time where Deadpool, Ironman and Guardians are hitting it big; We might just see Suicide and WW become bigger than Bat/Sup. It sounds crazy as hell but it could happen.

Or WB is gonna make little girls feel the ultimate pit of despair.

Sounds like fanfiction. No way they hard reboot. Maybe soft reboot. And WW is not going to be rewritten, it already finished most of its photography.

[inky]

Yates is on Fantastic Beasts and Wonder Woman is already shot, that site is bullshit

OT, but, is Yates doing all the movies?

 

[Blader]

the nolan films were dark and gritty true, but they were also often conventional crime films and borrowed a lot from established and popular narrative forms, then added superheroes. film critics could relate it to enjoying micheal mann films, for example. the synder-verse takes a grandiose opera-esque approach to it, focusing on a mythology, symbolism, religious metaphor above all. it's not real like the nolan films characters and politics, but it's with a tone that's entirely at odds with the silly children's toys fighting and cracking jokes approach of marvel. it's not something people are used to in these comic book films and there's a sense of 'it's bad because its taking the wrong approach' to the reviews that can seem small-minded.

ultimately however to convince people to be more open to an approach that's different to the standard you have to actually deliver a fucking good film. if this film was good we'd see the other angle where people would obnoxiously talk about how it's made the marvel approach seem shallow and overplayed and irrelevant.

I like how you open with this "it's the critics who are too small-minded to appreciate what Snyder is doing here!" then concede, well, maybe the film just sucks.

 

[sflufan]

This is like the Too Human of movies.

Whoa, let's not go overboard here and say something that we can't take back!

 

[Glass Shark]

Bad reviews are not going to stop this movie from making a ton of money. You're always gonna have that contingent of people who just want to see Batman and Superman punch each other.

(They are going to come out of the movie as disappointed as everyone else, but Warner will already have their money.)

He'll say no but he did all the Potters last 4 and jumped right into Beasts AFTER doing Tarzan. He's all in.

 

[Toxi]

Right, because that's still happening...

This is like the Too Human of movies. They had the fucking hubris to lay out their slate before getting even one successful entry out the door.

There is no way this is as bad as Too Human though.

I watched. It sucked. It sucked HARD. I'm getting angrier and angrier the more I think about it, actually.

Honestly, I should have just watched Deadpool again.

 

[generic_username]

If you're a true DC fan....you want this movie to flop so the aforementioned above happens.

Yup. The question is though - do they change the actors or retain them. Who is retained and who is booted? I have a sneaky feeling Affleck will survive the chopping block ( if he is even interested to stay on at this point ) but chances of Cavill going out is extremely high.

 

[Seven4sses]

Shaping up to be a good weekend at the movies:

More time for Zootopia

It's a shame not even Doomsday could save this film. I might go see it if my friend is up for it, but I was looking forward to Suicide Squad more than this.

That money doesn't mean a whole lot if there's no momentum into your next 10 movies.

I edited it, sorry. It is a very small part of the film and doesn't happen near the ending at all.

You didn't have to go to video games. We have a far closer example in cinema that came out only 2 years ago (hint, it involved a wall-crawler).

No. We already had Superman a la Batman Begins with Man of Steel. No more long, plodding origin stories. Get it done in twenty minutes or less.
