"Only 20% lower than Man of Steel"

😂

What's lower than steel? Iron.

Man of Iron

Iron man

oh shit.

Since we always do a "Eating Crow" Thread for Marvel movies, when they turn out sucessful, can we do a "Sorry. We should have believed you." Thread for this one?

Those are the worst threads. Marvel can make a film about anything and it will be successful.

No one should doubt Marvel again when Thor films gross nearly 650M WW. Marvel no longer knows how to fail.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

How is the fighting? Is it raw? Powerful? DBZ like?

 

[213372bu]

There is no way this movie is worse than Man of Steel.

Just from the stuff I read on this thread,some parts of the movie is going to be hard to follow/batshit insane unless you read the comics.

Otherwise it sounds like knock-off Bowie stuff.

And I was happy that Marvel finally got more competition

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

The last thing they should be doing is following the Marvel playbook.

The problem is they went out of their way to not learn anything at all from Marvel.

Don't need to quote myself from the prediction thread but

[neorej]

So where's the crow that would be served to the people criticizing the trailers? Blind MCU-fanboys just hating on DC movies..... bad trailer for a great movie....



Still excited to see this tomorrow.

There's literally no way this is as bad as Batman and Robin.

No way. I refuse to believe this isn't a nightmare. I'll wake up any minute now.

Any minute now...

[Lokimaru]

superman's personality was fine in that movie. it's just there were a lot of other problems with it.

man of steel had that and a pretty vacant robot in the suit. also i gotta say any movie that somehow manages to make amy adams bland screwed something up. even david o russell got good shit out of her.

I want to see this Supes for once.

Man, how did Warner let the DC universe fall so far behind Marvel? They are in desperate need of their own Kevin Feige at this point.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Wake up Time!

Hehe.

I honestly can't believe it. I expected some bad reviews, but lower than B&R...this is just madness.

Side note, how awesome would it be if they got Jum Carrey back as Riddler in an standalone Batman movie. Could be pretty cool to see an old Riddler facing off against Batfleck,

Well, it sounds like it's much better than Batman and Robin, just not as good as Batman Forever. I'd buy that.

 

[True Savior]

Should i read the entire thread or is there some kind of summary?

BvS would be way better if Batman had ice blades hidden in his shoes.

It's not really DC though, it's Warner Bros.

 

[Discotheque]

Hehe.

it isn't lower than batman and robin or forever. RT culture is WOAT. this is a fun thread but man move away from the percent and look at the average score at least if you want to gauge by the numbers.

Should i read the entire thread or is there some kind of summary?

< Like Mike, Space Jam, The Room, Fantastic 4 and Silver Surver and I forgot a few others.

Edit: i also liked Space Jam.

[roytheone]

Was it only a day ago that I read an article saying the early response on the movie was very good? I guess this proves never do trust early buzz for movies.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Forever was pretty great, so while still disappointing it's not as good as Forever, I guess I can live with that.

Still crazy that it's reviewing so poorly. Really seems to have rubbed a lot of people in the wrong way.

I'm not sure if it'll reach that low.

 

[davepoobond]

sooooo i should watch this movie if i like awful movies, right?

 

[cyberheater]

There is no way this movie is worse than Man of Steel.
At this point I'm expecting them to have put something in there that general critics didn't like.
Maybe something along the lines of Batman telling Superman to go fuck himself. Or superman straight up murdering people, in droves.

From the trailers alone it looked worse.

 

[Jack Remington]

Sounds like a lot of agenda-driven critics, tbh. Hope this makes a billion.

I loved Man of Steel, so if this is more of the same, I'm all over that.

[Blade30]

Man, how did Warner let the DC universe fall so far behind Marvel? They are in desperate need of their own Kevin Feige at this point.

Maybe that's the reason why they are/were gearing up so fast with the whole dccu slate because they have no clear direction what they want and someone saying "Maybe we should let him/her direct this movie. ..."

I really bumped out now, but still going to see it today.

Hopefully WB will rethink (if BvS really turns out like this) their plans and delay justice league and attach a different director or let Affleck co-direct the movie if it isn't already too late.

 

[Trey]

Do I at least get my DBZ fights?

You've said this before.

Make sure to post it again in another 20 pages to keep us informed.

 

[Arex]

Just finished watching.. it's not that bad, but the movie definitely feels too long imo haha

 

[True Savior]

< Like Mike, Space Jam, The Room, Fantastic 4 and Silver Surver and I forgot a few others.

I never saw Like Mike. Maybe it's an hidden gem.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Schmoes saying it's not a bad movie at all, it's an 'okay' movie. Just has a lot of stuff going on.
They're not mentioning spoilers, but what I am getting is that Doomsday still is the big problem.

Oh damn.

 

[Cuburt]

And I was happy that Marvel finally got more competition

In a league full of gods, and yet Batman is still carrying the team.

 

[Discotheque]

I never saw Like Mike. Maybe it's an hidden gem.

it spawned a great song

I woke up today, saw the reviews, felt bummed out, returned my tickets, read this thread, and bought tickets again.

It's going to be worth it just for the spectacle. The greatest gladiator match in the history of the world, Snyder the Divider vs. Fanboys of the world.

Day one.....on streaming site......although I never rallied the interest to watch Man of Steel when it was on Netflix.

There's literally no way this is as bad as Batman and Robin.

No way. I refuse to believe this isn't a nightmare. I'll wake up any minute now.

Any minute now...

Batman and Robin probably has more potential as a drinking game, where as this sounds like a trudge.

Batman v. Superman RT Thread (Iron Man 3 was actually pretty great)

 

[velociraptor]

Critics generally are either hating it or are left lukewarm. Fan screenings (including Gaf reactions) came off as generally fairly positive, if still mixed.

Perfect. I have little faith in the views or opinions of 'critics'. I trust fan reactions far more than anything. I'm not expecting a masterpiece but as long as it offers me 2 hours of entertainment with some good fight scenes (which is what Man Of Steel pretty much offered), then I'll be fairly satisfied.

I suppose it's probably best to keep my expectations low. When my brother told me Star Wars TFA was one of the best movies he saw, there are no prizes for guessing how I felt after I left the movie theatre...

 

[CaviarMeths]

How strange it is that it took a bad Batman/Superman movie to make everyone realize that Iron Man 3 is pretty rad.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

OH shit. It's like I feared.
It's not kid friendly at all. It's not for kids. Kids are going to be bored.
They went the watchmen route, with the wrong franchise.
Box office prediction adjusted to $300m WW for me.

This sounds bad.

I fucking hated Iron Man 3. It was almost a chore to finish watching that movie.

 

[Jack Remington]

Iron Man 3 was dogshit.

 

[Henkka]

I seriously want to see this movie only so that I can talk shit about it with my friends and online. Is that bad?
