that's pretty insulting. i think him and snyder should have a charity boxing match like faraci did last time with some other critic (was it for charity or was it just some stupid internet beef?)

Most likely not since Marvel movies in MCU tend to be fresh.
I don't think he's rated highly.

I would wager a week long ban from GAF if Civil War dips below BvS on RT.
My stepson is a huge Batman mark. I'm going to have to go watch this
I'm sure you'll be fine, but I have a feeling kids are gonna find this movie boring as dirt.
Zack Synder isn't a "Bro" because he's actually read comics and has a passion for the work he has adapted so far.
He lacks an inherent understanding of story, which has been always been a weak link in his work, but it is unfair to say he's a representation of "Bro Culture" appropriating comics.
Also, who cares? Comics are for everyone.

After Ant-Man turned out good considering the hell that went through, I question how any Marvel movie now can actually be outright bad. Except Thor movies. Fuck Thor movies.
Back on the DC topic - if this underperforms, could we get solo Batman before JL?

And a movie about Owls.
If there's even a 1 percent shred of fat, we have to take that as an absolute certainty
Then this is what DC fans should hope for. BvS flops and the creative team changes.

It can't be bad because it's not trying to not be a superhero movie.
Don't worry Civil War shouldn't be as bad as A1 & 2.
Agreed. Thor 1 and 2 aren't good.
Thor 3 may turn out okay.
Neither are bad movies. Whedon's stuff is too quippy and Age of Ultron suffered from having to set up the next phase, but it's not abysmal.

If there is a flaw in this film, this is not.

It's funny that Snyder gets called out for infiltrating nerd space when one of the founding fathers of superhero movies was someone who actively disdained comic books and would often talk about how he hated reading them (Tim Burton).
But he didn't have big biceps.

damn he must have changed it. guy was melting down hard it was hilarious
First Thor movie was great man. The music and the opening/closing visuals with galaxy travels was soooo damn good.
Dark World is boring however.

Sums up my feelings on him pretty well. His strike rate is pretty low for me, but that's because he makes bad movies often, not because he lifts weights.This is definitely something very unfair that has been thrown at Snyder all his career. It's kinda sad. I mean, I get it, the guy looks like a bit of a jock meathead type, has tattoos, lifts weights, and his film tend to emphasis the masculine side of things and focus on action over more subtle storytelling. But at this point, those that continue to pile on that as a "look at this bro thinking he's one of us" is pretty gross. The guy clearly has a passion for comics and geek stuff, he also has other interests and his personality might not be the docile intellectually inclined idea of a nerd, and I think that's all cool. Wish he made better films though, considering the chances he's given.
Yeah, Affleck will get me through, but the young fella might struggle a bit. Oh well, part of growing up is seeing movies that are not what you expect.

Maybe Snyder should stop taking inspiration from graphic novels

Dude your avatar is amazing! I used to know those characters as a kid. I forget the names tho...Benjamin Toad?? Idk but that's my childhood lol.
He needs better writers at least.
Nevermind that
Just look at what he ejaculated onto the screen with Sucker Punch
I think if anything, out of all people to attack as a fake nerd, Zack Snyder is literally the truest god damn nerd making movies in hollywood right now.
Watchmen is the best movie you're going to get based on the source material, which inherently doesn't work as a movie. It should be a television series.
The ending Snyder went with is faithful to the comic, even if it isn't a facsimile.
It's far more entertaining than Man of Steel. We'll see how it compares to Batman v Superman.

I have a weird feeling the extra 30 minutes in the Ultimate cut weren't really optional. Like Watchmen.
And he also showed the world he had no idea what the fuck Watchmen was actually about.
I dunno, I thought Transformers 4 was boring as all fuck, and that had Grimlock in it.
As far as BvS goes:
I'll admit, despite initially expecting this movie to be awful, the most recent trailers and the early screening positive responses had me actually kinda hyped. Oops. Shoulda known better. I skipped MoS in theatres because I knew it would suck, but I'm still tempted to see this in theatres for some reason.

Now I need to know, what was the video.
Maybe they're intimidated by his swoleness.

Back up to 41.
I think they could make it all the way to 42 if this keeps up.

I will defend Avengers as being a structurally tight film. Blended the backstories from the solo films into a movie that also established the character dynamics on its own.
You either like or dislike the 'Cheers with superheroes' approach, but it doesn't mess with the plot.

Affleck thinking "none of these poor saps are ever getting their own movies"
just a video response to IGNs review. major meltdown
Yeah, you dont cut 30 minutes out of a final cut from an original screenplay and not lose anything.
Would be very surprised if the Extended Cut isn't a huge improvement in terms of pacing, structure and characterization...all of which seem to be big criticisms at the moment.

Man, I'm still surprised. I can't believe this actually scored lower than Man Of Steel. Now I might go see it just because I want to see how bad it is.
