About a thousand times but no worries, it's still hilarious
The first time I clicked on that in this thread, it had <10k views. It's been fun to watch it climb.
Still feel bad for him. He's quite good in the film.

The problem is more that Snyder clearly understood the qualifications he should be looking for in a Luthor--imposing, powerful presence, bald preferred--and decided that although Eisenberg had none of them, he wanted to give him the role...
... because of Eisenberg's complete indifference to the character and the project?
I mean, that's how it reads, but I'm second-guessing because it doesn't sound like human logic when you say it out loud. There's something so phenomenally moronic about it that it's hard to wrap my head around. "Not only are you under-qualified for this job, you don't even seem to want it! When can you start?!"
No wonder Luthor's badly written and terribly acted. The whole thing was a pointless lark by an incompetent director and a completely indifferent actor.
WTF... where is this from?

I don't see it. I've seen more people be "ok" with it than anything else, mostly. Some extremes here and there (+/-). Above average praise of Affleck's Wayne/Bats. Not so much for Eisenberg. I dunno. I'm not paid, though..no one drinks High Gravity Bull when they got money..

The obsession over some rottentomatoes percentages in here seems to be way bigger than anything I've read metacritic-related on gaming side.
People anticipating every single percentage jump like a big event is really strange to see.

This is a spot-on criticism. The first half of the movie drags like a motherfucker, and has a lot of unnecessary sequences.
Oh, ok.

Agreed. The average audience was still trying to figure out the whole dream sequence and then a guy wearing an Iron Man suit just pops in onscreen through an unstable portal.
Shit, I'm not comic nerd but even I knew it was the Flash, and still had no idea why he was there.

Saw it last night. Movie was a mess. I honestly liked Man of Steel more...
Really sad right now, was really looking forward to this.

"have some fun with him."
... Yeah, Zack Snyder's version of "fun" in this film is a tad screwed up.

The fuck are you doing Snyder you're supposed to be laying the groundwork for future stories not cutting off possible plot branches
People have different opinions. When info comes out about actors or storylines people will react to it.

Thanks for this. You've actually sold him a lot more for me.
You guys..why are you going this route? Who had the torches in this thread? Mark them. Call them out. It really isn't that drastic, y'all..it's a movie!
Run for your life, never come back to this thread after your admitted you enjoyed this movie.

Except in where it counts. WHich is character dialogue, interaction, and character progression. We get to see the slow divide between cap and tony which was somewhat hinted at in first avengers.
Everyone has arc's in that movie, the plot and villain were underused. But seeing the twins hate stark join ultron, then see his plans are to destroy everyone they see he is the monster created by tony.
We get a look further from iron man 3 of ton's fears which is why he jump starts ultron out of that fear. And that's where everyone including cap starts to hate tony and his rash decisions.
I thought those were the highlights, and also talk about banner. He goes through a much unneeded love interest, but it's that failed interaction that makes him understand after wakanda destruction, he should not be with the team because he's so dangerous if hulk ever were to lose it, or be controlled.

227 pages of people gleefully posting RT images of every degree of movment begs to differ with this. how many name changes has this thread had?

Except that's not true. One of the first things Ultron talks about is evolving. He mentions extinctions and meteors throughout, and they make a point early on to mention he's been trying to get a hold of nukes from the beginning but was blocked by Jarvis. Ultron's plan remaining unclear until the third act doesn't mean it's a brand new plot thread just because you didn't pick up on the extremely blatant foreshadowing.
He also doesn't have a pure vibranium body at the end like he wanted, it was an inferior vibranium allow which was pointed out by Tony.

I think, on a purely objective level, I preferred this to deadpool in theory, but overall... ugh. Better than the amazing spiderman films as well, but thats not a hard challenge.
Moderation of NeoGAF is not only paid by the fitting Console Manufacturer, they are even paid by Marvel!
Does it really matter? People react differently. Some people like to take the piss out of something they feel is complete shit. If you don't agree with it then you don't agree with it. But it's nothing to get overly defensive about.

Let's say you and I are critics. One of us finds it humorous. The other finds it childish. That's it. That's the world. It isn't that drastic. It's a title change. Again, a title change.
Man, STOP! lol..

I did not like this. Or rather I did not like most of this insipid movie. A lot of it felt like just a bunch of scenes thrown together. I absolutely agree with people calling it "messy."
I think Affleck is great in the role (and I enjoyed his bouncing off Irons) and I absolutely look forward to seeing him in future Batman projects with the right filmmaker. His fight scene against Luthor's goons was the one true highlight of the movie for me. Having said that, I don't feel like I took a whole lot away from the characters, especially Superman. Like I feel like no matter how you or I think you get Superman as a character, Snyder probably gets him even less or doesn't care. The setup of the actual BvS fight feels so meaningless, poorly written, yet still was sorta fun to watch. Eisenberg is insufferable in the movie in a way that was probably intended but... it's also insufferable to sit through.
If the movie attempted any actual emotion it would maybe earn its tone, but it doesn't. It's just bloated. I would have loved a movie that does question the way they approach their own brands of justice instead of making them throwaway lines you can put in your trailer. I can't believe there's a three hour cut of this movie.

Except that has nothing to do with what you or I commented on.
Someone swap Venom's face for Marvel's logo and Spidey's for DC's
it's a joke, don't take it too seriously
Your post comes across as moaning for moaning sake. If this isn't the case then ok.
Several times, along with this

Still hilarious.
If only I'd been able to monetize it.
So? Honestly just as much as you all have your conspiracies about some people waiting years to trash a movie you anticipated; you make yourself look like you are just sad that the movie turned out to review poorly and a lot of people don't like it.
This is NeoGAF, this isn't the first time something reviewed bad and folks had fun with it. The Order was crucified. Hell we have review threads that are damn near works of art when the games review WELL! (See the Wall of Shame for the Uncharted reviews).
Actual spoiler
because Lex kidnapped Clark's mom and told him to kill Batman, or he'd kill his mom.
Imagine a film where the fight is organically built up to from the themes it makes gestures toward; that one element is not needed to push it into starting, and at the end they mutually realize it was Lex that was playing puppet master and team up to take him down. That's the idea the film was fumbling toward, but it didn't gel, so the spoiler tagged element is there to do the job the rest of the film could not.

It's bullshit, dreams. Who cares? Is that a better response? The answer is clear: you and others. The reality? No one does. This movie is going to bank all day..already on its way. Why does some jokes on a forum bother ANYONE, when "daddy" is making money? Enjoy the movie, folks..

I haven't seen it yet. Fom the looks of it, whenever someone brings up Heath Ledger in connection to an unusual casting choice, Jesse Eisenburg will forever be the counter-argument.

Sorry, no conspiracy theories from me, though some people in here sure try to make it impossibly to say anything other than that this movie is shit.
I was replying to Gordon who said that he didn't see anyone shitting on this movie by pointing out the fact that there are 227 pages of people posting screencaps of BvSs' fluctuating and low RT score and that the title of this thread has been changed many times reflecting that.
Of course I was then railroaded by people who didn't even bother to read the context of my post before calling me out as a sympathizer.
I've not yet even seen the movie and made no comment on its quality, but i'm definitely a DC bitch proselytizing it I suppose because I didn't condemn this movie with my first comment.
