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

Actual spoiler
because Lex kidnapped Clark's mom and told him to kill Batman, or he'd kill his mom.
. The reason he had to do that is because the fight would not have happened otherwise, because the film did not establish why Superman would fight Batman (just why the latter was mad at the former). If that wasn't there, Batman would be left standing there at the end for a really long time. This is also why the fight was instantly defused.

Your spoiler is extremely misleading.

Superman leaves Lex on the roof and says "I have to get Batman to help me, or kill him". His first plan is to negotiate and explain the situation to Batman. The problem is Batman ignores him and attacks constantly and eventually hits him with stuff that actually hurts, which causes Supes to be fighting for his life. Batman has himself been the victim of other machinations by Lex to set the fight up, although he was already extremely worried about Superman in the abstract prior to that.

My only complaint is the way in which they stop the fight, which felt poorly written.
 
This comment is so funny, come on, you must know Superman is not all-powerful and all-knowing within the DCU right?

You're telling me a man who can breath in the direction of someone and freeze them isn't all powerful.

A man who can use his hearing in order to hear from miles and miles and miles away and can hone in on voices he knows.

A man who can move almost as fast as the Flash

Can't find his mother.

Man I can't even tell people to go see this for the action since the only good action scene was the batman fight at the warehouse, half of which was in the trailer.

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.
You were not railroaded at all come on.

was talking to a friend of mine on the phone, he goes, I sware to god:

"Man the best part was the guy that plays Lex"

and like "really? I heard he's not very good"

and his reasoning "He was like an awesome Joker, I dont know if thats what he was going for but I loved it"

...welp ;_;

Why is this forum caption not 'Cavil War' ?

Went to see the film today, better than I was expecting from the reviews. The more I think about it, the more plot holes and ambiguities start to bother me. But my general feeling walking out of the film was that it was entertaining and differentiated itself enough from the marvel line of films to feel fresh.

Batflect was pretty awesome, he felt heavy and old and somewhat vunerbal at times. Taking ages to get up from the various knock downs, at the end half the cinema were clearly thinking "RUN YOU FOOL AND LEAVE IT TO THE SUPERS!"

Wait

Seriously?

Holy shit, IT'S SUPERMAN. HE CAN JUST FLY SUPER FAST AND SHOOT PRECISION LASERS BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING.

Oh my god.

Thanks for playing the "I can't be assed to watch the film I'll just react to our of context spoilers" game. You win nothing. Have a nice day.

The fans seem to like it, which is what matter.

No critic will stop me from watching a movie or playing a game just because they didn't like it.

I'll watch tomorrow at IMAX.

Btw, I love MOS

I don't see how. I said that set up is the entire reason they fight, not that Superman went there to
kill Batman, which he does not plan to do
. It is the reason they fight. If Lex doesn't do that, they don't fight.
 
It works in context because
Superman does not want to fight.

And he doesn't have to! He can shoot lasers to disable the captors.

The movie is loads better just reading the context. I feel I would be disappointed if I actually watched it.

I like MoS with reservations.

I like this, with less reservations.

Enjoy.
 
So I keep looking around and not many people talk about
Baby Batman using a swarm of bats to levitate out of a hole in the ground
we just gonna act like that didn't happen, or what?

Geezuz. Blame Gotham..

That would be awesome if he knew where they were.

The film has a couple plot holes, no need to invent new ones.

What? You read a spoiler, missed out on the specifics of the scene, and hyperbole ensued. You can't be bothered to watch it, fine. But no, you don't have an informed opinion if a you do is read spoilers.

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..

It's been 3 years since a new DC movie, and BvS is what they/we got. I get the sense the DC diehards were just hoping to get a well-received movie so they could scream "SEE?!?! WE TOLD YOU MARVEL FANBOYS YOUR KIDDY MOVIES WERE GARBAGE"

BvS is going to make bank. The BO thread on Sunday will be the largest in a while with a bunch of chest pumping. About the only thing in danger is movies like Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman getting delayed or cancelled. There's still going to be a Justice League movie. WW is already done filming.

He says in the voiceover *right then* that it's a dream. I thought it was ridiculous until he said that.

Except
Superman used his superhearing to immediately detect Lois was drowning when she was trying to retrieve the kryptonite spear.
 
I just got back from watching it. I thought Man of Steel was mediocre but Batman vs Superman was decent.

I really, really liked that scene where
Bruce thinks Clark is mentioning his mother, but in fact, he is referring to his own mother
 
I don't see how. I said that set up is the entire reason they fight, not that Superman went there to
kill Batman, which he does not plan to do
. It is the reason they fight. If Lex doesn't do that, they don't fight.

He asked "why'd they fight" and you said that, so it did sound like you were saying
he was just flying off to kill the dude because lex told him to
.

Ayy "How many who hate this movie have actually seen it?" the thread.

It wasn't that bad.

Except
Superman used his superhearing to immediately detect Lois was drowning when she was trying to retrieve the kryptonite spear.

He already said with the wheelchair scene that he has selective hearing. He most likely listens out for Lois 99.9% of the time. He saved her out of nowhere like 5 times this movie. But in order to save a child in a burning building in another country he has to see it on tv.

Sigh.

Martha was bound, gagged, barely conscious. Clark's only lead was Lex. Lex told his men to keep the location secret from everyone, even him. Clark had less than an hour to find her and no leads - and if he tracked her down, what? Chance that they wouldn't kill her soon as he neared the property?
