Batman v. Superman RT Thread: like standing ovations in rain

It's not Superman. It's Ultraman from a parallel universe where everyone is a dick.
How many fucking Ultramen are there?

This guy looks like he listens to way too much Linkin Park

"No, Zack, you cannot put another pointless scene in the movie."
"But I want to have this shot, it looks cool."
"No, Zack, you have to tell a cohesive story. You can't just put every idea you have in the movie."
"But I want that shot. I want it I want it I want it."

Seriously, there are many pointless scenes that doesnt belong in the movie, i think it should get a director's cut version.
 
That AV Club review pretty much paints the worst picture for me as my Saturday showing is approaching: the film appears to be a bore. I don't know how that's possible but somehow BvS appears to be boring.

what a disappointment

Man, if I had any creative control of this film at WB, I'd have given this film, Steven Soderbergh and an editing booth 72 hours alone.

WB approved of the shoehorning of all these heroes in the film so they're partly responsible for the pacing and story issues the film has.

It's getting a directors cut on blu-ray with an R Rating too, not sure if that will help it much at this point though, but I don't want to judge it until I see it on Sunday, but it sure isn't sounding great.
 
I will post my review on OT and here when I see it tonight. Earliest showing is 7:30 EST.

My record is I love Batman, like Wonder Woman/Flash, meh to Superman but do not hate him.

I think Nite-owl going off to make out with Silk is worse.

I strongly disagree, These two relatively ordinary people are faced with a world-spanning moral dilemma that they simply can’t get their heads around. They seek comfort and intimacy in each other, away from everything. It’s a very tender and human reaction to the events, I think.

He knew what Rorschach wouldn't compromise. He was a friend and partner, and leaving him to chase the inevitable would be cold.

That kind of misses the point. The conspiracy they agree to take part in is bigger than them as individuals and Dan agrees to be part of it because he sees its necessity. One life weighed against five billion. I haven’t got my copy of the comic on me at the moment but I don’t think he’s aware Rorschach is about to be whacked, though I could be wrong. Even if he did, I don’t think it’s cold to let a person die (especially when they clearly want to) when the fate of the entire human race is in the balance.

I also believe Ozy would allow it. He displayed a flash of uncertainty and sought approval for his action.

Yeah, from a living God, not some schmuk with erectile dysfunction. :D

As I said, Ozy’s brutality during the murder of Blake stems entirely from the fact Blake beat him so badly during their first meeting. That’s a twenty odd year grudge he held. There is no way his ego would let him be beaten and his ego is his whole deal. We're talking about a dude who feels his only peers are dead kings and conquerors, after all. His ego is arguably what sparks the entire plot off and it informs his character, his dialogue, and, ultimately, his actions from top to bottom.
 
Snyder should not be directing JC when you get a 30%+ on a movie with Batman and Superman meeting for the first time. I'm honestly surprised DC is letting him work on it. Push it back and don't let this guy direct another movie.
 
Yo, I'm gonna need a link to this, because that would shatter whatever positive views I had of the man.

Henry Cavill's Press Tour for Batman v Superman Has Been a Beautiful Disaster

Oh yeah, on the Oscars:
“Maybe the solution is to have more diversity in the members. But does that mean we are saying that to have more black academy members would result in more black nominations? Is that not racist itself?”

It's appropriate that he has a 19 year old girlfriend, because he seems to be in a state of arrested development.
 
Oh my god, those Cavill interview quotes can't be real.

Fire Synder, fire Cavill, cancel the rest of the DCEU movies, reboot Batman and keep Affleck if you want.

DC goofed this one up BAD.
 
One day, we'll get a supes on the big screen that we deserve. Until then, we'll always have 4.5 passable films featuring Christopher Reeve and no amount of garbo Snydermans will ever erase that.

I do feel bad for Ben Affleck. Apparently he's solid, yet Daredevil is going to remain his most critically "acclaimed" superhero movie.

Unfortunately with Suicide Squad pretty much wrapped up, Wonder Woman in production, and Justice League about to start filming, I think they're past the point of no return with halting/rebooting the DCCU

Yep, WB is fucked. Best they can hope for is doing some bullshit time travel thing ala Days of Future Past and reboot everything that way.

This thread is hilarious, depressing and sad all at the same time. People hopping on the hate train who haven't even seen the movie and just base their opinion on what other people say.

I personally thought the film was average, and yes it has it's fair share of problems. But it's nowhere near as bad as a lot of critics make it out to be (and i usually do agree with RT/Meta ratings, except for a few occasions). And for people who think that BvS is worse than Batman Forever, Batman & Robin...fuck, even The Room, Space Jam etc? It's not, don't be silly.

Just came back from watching this. I felt it's problem was the worst any movie could have. It was just.. Bland

Plenty of slow-mo though.

It wouldn't be the first time a Justice League film was halted weeks before filming, though in this case WB runs the risk of losing out on their tax breaks and having to deal with their actors' schedules if they decide to pump the brakes on JL.

But, again, they've shown the willingness to not let JL happen before this. I think once we all see the second weekend receipts we'll know what's up.

I don't think being worse than Batman Forever is entirely out of the question. Forever did have a few redeeming moments in it.

Honestly, I feel like SS is their ticket out of this mess. Everything about that movie seems to hit the right beat. It's my most anticipated movie of the year (after Deadpool oc).
