Currently seeing the RT score at 40% as of this post.

Jeez, I legitimately wanted this film to get some rave reviews. I'll still give the film a watch, but I have low expectations, always had after watching Man of Steel; I managed to get a movie certificate from the Dr. Pepper promo. Even with the reviews, I still see the film doing well on the box office. Honestly at first I outright disliked MoS but at least better than Superman Returns, but after a few more watches I considered it pretty okay at best.

Warner Bros. should have really established the DCEU's individual characters first before jumping into doing a crossover film. I really feel they are too obsessed with catching up to Marvel.

Am I the only motherfucker who liked Age of Ultron?!?!

Nope. I enjoyed the film after a few watches, though I still considered it a pretty disappointing film albeit still watchable (can't say the same for Thor: TDW though; villain was just bland, too much Natalie Portman and not enough Jamie Alexander. At least Tom Hiddleston's performance as Loki was enjoyable, I'll give it that). Though personally, Ant-Man was the better Marvel film for me in 2015.

Even if I expect little from this movie since I think Snyder is average filmaker at best, I don't think this movie will be worst than Age of Ultron and reading this confirms that press might be partial:

"Overlong, underdeveloped and almost entirely humorless, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice may please die-hard fans by pitting two DC icons against each other. Everyone else may want to wait for the next Marvel movie".

[Frozenprince]

Yeah. I mean, the first on screen appearance of Batman and Superman together is a huge moment.

Whatever this makes I doubt most of the expanded universe films (Aquaman, Wonder Woman, etc) will even come close, so this needs to do extremely well to get people invested enough in the brand to offset that drop.

People laughed at Guardians and shit making money because "nobody knows who they are"

Nobody fucking knows who Aquaman is except MAYBE from his shitty appearance and abilities in the old league of justice cartoon. And without good word of mouth to go "Nah it's a DC movie it'll be fine" you're not gonna get enough butts in seats.

Deadpool is praised for being a good movie.

Oh good! You've seen it too already?

So did Green Lantern have a baby with Synder and made this?

The critics have... And they liked Deadpool, to my eternal shock and awe.

Has Affleck looked like he's enjoyed himself ONCE since he took on this role? I mean, I know his personal life went up in flames, but... I've felt like every picture he needs a hug.

Well this is a thread about critical consensus, and the overwhelming critical consensus, so far, is that BvS is not a good movie, just a mediocre to bad one.

So, you can continue to be salty, or you can just, you know, move on to acceptance.

We're at bargaining stage until wide release.

Captain America: Civil War |OT| This movie will make you hate Steve, Tony, & the Avengers

 

[munchie64]

BATMAN V. SUPERMAN is so aesthetically atrocious that I felt like I was having a seizure through most of it. Also, I don't have ears anymore

Wow I just saw on another forum that this movie is t....

Well yeah. Basically this. WOW. Saw that it was being destroyed in reviews. FML man and I had tricked myself into thinking it was going to be good after I HATED MoS.

I shouldn't have fucking bothered. Apoc better be fucking amazing or I'm going to be fucking livid.


Get Snyder away from these films. Or whoever the hell is responsible. Oh and move up Suicide Squad. Just move it the fuck up; THAT one is going to be good.

I've never looked at reviews for comic book movies before. Are they generally good?

I think every MCU film has rated at "Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes.

Good-bye hearing.

Sounds like he had too many things to squeeze in

 

[Vice]

Because his marriage is over and he's been working while his kids grow up.

Has he been on Fatman on Batman yet?

No surprise. Everyone saw that coming since the first trailer, sadly.

Yeah but that was more than just boring, that was awful in every capacity.

He is in a picture with Aquaman and Cyborg, I would have my "I dun fucked up" face on too

 

[Fat4all]

The good movies reviews good and the bad movies reviews bad like any other movies.

Except for The Room. That was the lone fluke.

As a Audio Engineer I have had to take ear plugs, to a lot of movies in last two years.

Me too. Maybe if we end up enjoying it, we can literally say, "I can't hear you!!!" to the critics. Eh?

 

[Cuburt]

I don't know why so many people hoped that Snyder would make something that wasn't a Zack Snyder film rather than hope that he'd made he'd make something that was the best parts of all his films combined.

And now Snyder will be the fall guy despite being the one that people credit as being the person who is actually pulling this whole DCCU together. Sorry, but if Snyder goes down, the rest goes down with him. That's not to say there won't be good movies (SS looks fun, WW could still be good, maybe Snyder fixes things for JL) but WB will need to do some serious reworking of the whole thing behind the scenes because the cracks are already showing. Making Snyder the scapegoat for this won't solve anything.

In hindsight, it does seem even more like having MoS being the foundation for this whole DCCU was a bad idea. They could have still made this film with that as the foundation, but it would have worked better if they just made it more conservative and smaller in scale; focus on Batman vs Superman and build a good film from that, then use that momentum to build up to a Justice League. It didn't have to be solos movies and then JL like Marvel did the Avengers, but they shot themselves in the foot by trying to rush it out ASAP. I mean there will be solo movies before JL anyways right? Why not just wait?

Pour one out for my boy J'onn J'onzz, may he finally get the respect in death he never got in life.

 

[OricWindstar]

I find a lot of people's enjoyment of a movie being bad really disheartening.

 

[Skux]

This just makes me glad that Grant Gustin won't be playing The Flash in the upcoming film. Keep the DCTV Arrowverse far, far away from this.
