You don't like his movies? That's OK. There's people that like them. Also, I wouldn't call them shit movies considering the amount of crap that goes around nowadays. At least they're fun and pretty to look at.
Good thing it's nothing like that then!I'm up to page 64 and --- are people serious with those spoilers that Batman
kills people? The description sounds a lot like this Big Daddy scene
Fucking hell, Snyder...

"What killed the biggest DC franchises? The Snyder-Age!"
This...was already on the fence but seeing reviews and reading some of these spoilers has convinced me it isn't worth it
Thanks Snyder you hack
Shhhhh, don't say that. Shitting on a movie based on spoilers you read online before seeing it is the new trend.
I do not understand this line of thinking. Do we, as moviegoers, need to support a bad movie in order to support a genre? Wouldn't the genre (whatever the genre is) benefit more from supporting good movies and sending the bad ones out to die? As in; buy more Deadpool-tickets and less BvS-tickets?
I do not give a shit about this movie at all but im gonna post in this thread to tell you that any garbage can be fun and pretty to look at.
I'm not going to write Chris Terrio off for the complaints being hurled at the story, since this one can't entirely be called his own, I'll reserve judgement on that until Justice League hits. That being said, I honestly can't get on board with Zack Snyder spearheading this universe, I've never been a fan of his work and having seen the movie myself, that hasn't changed. I certainly hope the next wave of movies fare better, I'm holding out hope for Suicide Squad as I've enjoyed David Ayer's work.
How does it benefit the genre...if its garbage than there is no negative for the studios for making garbage. The genre in movies is fine...marvel, fox and even sony have seen to it...but wb can keep pushing garbage because they have big heroes behind it.
Well we can only hope suicide squad will bomb hugely (much smaller appeal and looks much worse even) and wb will pull back on its plans.
Yeah, it's Microsoft vs Sony discussion again. "You need to like Microsoft, because if you're not they will drop out and everything will be terrible with only one company and Nintento around." This is the free market at work. People should support what they like, not what some arm chair economists think what would benefit the industry.
I barely remember enjoying a movie that had less than 50% on RT. I used to be one of those people saying ratings and critics don't matter it's not indicative of its quality but once I matured a bit and my taste in movies expanded I kind of rarely disagree with the RT rating in a broad way. I might disagree when I see a 50%+ rated movie and end up not liking it much (comic book movies such as Iron Man 2, 3, Thor 2, MOS etc) but I rarely liked a movie that wasn't received well by critics. I'll probably watch BvS when its out on BR.
lollllll
It's a shame to see critics being so divisive since I was really hoping this would lean more towards positive than Synder's past films. Ah well, I'm not going to let something as arbitrary as a RT percentage get in the way of my excitement.
I'm just worried about how this will affect their DCEU plans. Even if this movie isn't great, stuff like Batfleck, Wonder Woman, and Suicide Squad look very promising and I'd hate to see that whole universe end so soon.

Yes, it can drop even lower! They haven't even added Devin F or Matt Zoller Seitz or Drew McWeeney's upcoming negative review yet
I would rather have Nolan-verse or Lighthearted-verse than MoS and apparently BvS-verse

Sony isn't reaping anything anymore unless they decide to go "fuck it" and do that Venom movie.
Suicide Squad has too many big names to bomb.
It's really not.
What, why? I'm not really that interested in suicide squad, but if the movie turns out better then BvS and has a reasonable Box Office, than WB might see what works and what not (snyder doing most of the films so far).
No, I'm not saying you need to support a bad movie. I was talking more about people who wanted this to fail from the beginning.
Of course. Wheter that's good enough for you or not, it's your call. But the word "shit" is overused this days. I don't like the movie? Shit. It's not what I was hoping for? Shit. I didn't like how it ended? Shit. There are some plot holes? Shit. There's shit, and there's shit. I guess we should make a shitscale.

Devin Faraci has less business being on there than Armond White tbh.
But yeah this score is gonna stabilize at like 31 haha yikes. And it's not even a director I like so I'm just pure skeptical at this point
I don't think anyone - or most people - wanted this to fail. Which it won't btw. It'll make a shitload. These reviews might hurt JL tho.
Well so far I read/heard that the editing and pacing of the movie is a hot mess, also it's not clear what the motives on each or most characters are. Some acting parts with Superman and Wonder Woman seem to be wooden, which looks to me that they weren't given good directions.

*wakes up, sees everything on fire*
...yeah, that's about what I expected to happen
I think audiences will like it a bit more, but you could see this coming.

I can't see it getting worse reviews....Right? I mean Right!!!

Eh, you are talking like comic book movies are indie startups. Whether this movie does good or bad doesn't really effect MCU, X-Men or the rest.
If anything, BvS disappointing or bombing will make them recheck the quality of their films and direction so they don't suffer the same fate.
Then I understand the line
even less. It has nothing to do with what you just said.

I mean, why should we care about who it benefits? If it's a poor movie it deserves to do poorly. Deadpool just pulled in amazing numbers, the genre doesn't need any help.
True. Same goes for GOTG.

Anyone hoping that this bombs hard so that Snyder is taken off the future movies? Or even a complete reboot?
That's what I was asking when the "trust in Terrio" stuff kept being repeated when it was announced he was working on the script.
Sony letting Marvel run Spidy was a good decision, they'll bounce back from it just from the Marvel brand alone. Which is very crucial to Sony.
Well to be fair there aren't too many big names in SS (Will Smith isn't as huge as he was before, Leto isn't that big as well as the rest of the cast.). Besides there have been plenty of movies with big names that bombed hard.
But based on the trailers so far SS looks to be, at worst, a decent flick.
No, but if this means that we can get more DC characters on the big screen, then great. The more, the better.
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if Suicide Squad turns out to be a better film, but I wouldn't be shocked if it falls in the same closet either.
How would you even reboot? Perhaps another Stand alone BA Batman and Superman?
What a mess if this bombs.

I always knew from the get go that movie was going to be garbage. I never liked the trailer and no one I know, people who represent the general population, are just not interested in the movie.

At least I hope JL is given another director/writer because I actually really care about that franchise. JL doesn't need to be dark and broody.
This movie gives me hope that Batfleck film is actually going to be good.
Edit: Just watched Jeremy Jahns' review, "Better When Drunk" should totally be a rating now.

I don't want the movie to bomb and I'm sure it won't. I'm willing to bet every other DC film will have a higher rating than this. Wouldn't be surprised if Suicide Squad ends up in the 70's or low 80's.
Ayer is a tighter director and seems to really fit the material. I have high hopes for it. I always had higher hopes for that then this.
Oh totally agree. WB has to be freaking out, not sure what they expected with Snyder tho.

Well, that's it. The general population has spoken.
