Batman V Superman -

[JU 199]

I want to strangle Jesse Eisenberg.

Ben Afflec was a good batman

First half of the film was terrible and the second half was much better

Overall a mixed bag.

Thoughts?

Looks like it's going to be a massive box office bomb. It needs to make 800 million to break even and projections worldwide are at about 300 million.

So yea this doesn't bode well for DC.

 

[JU 199]

800 million to break even

That's the weird thing. It's not an expensive looking movie. How could it cost so much?

That seems to be the general consensus.

That and WB played their hand way too soon with

killing Superman

.

Oh, and apparently Snyder snuck in a cameo of Jimmy Olsen in the movie. He's that photographer that gets his head blown off in front of Lois.

So there's that.

hahahahhah really? lol

Talk about doing something like that too soon.

Man, they forced too much shit into the film. If they just made it simpler the beginning would be more coherent.

Wonder woman does not need to be in this movie for a start.

The plot is also beyond retarded. Batman is angry at the collateral damage and loss of life that occurred during Superman's battle with Zod?

Yea because that never happens in the Batman universe.

Bob Iger should send Kevin Tsujihara a thank you card for making Civil War look good in comparison. Disney doesn't have to worry about bombing their box office returns

This is a different film universe than Nolan's batman so I could understand that. What I don't understand is that batman kills people in this movie, yet the dude is angry at superman?

Yep, that was Jimmy.

There's like 3-4 movie plots all shoved into this one so they can do the Justice League two parter movie. And god damn, does it show.

Not to mention this Batman goes around murdering everyone. Shooting them, breaking their necks...I think he shot a grabbing hook through some guy's chest at one point.

Kinda fucks over his whole moral ground outrage.

I think they were trying to play him off as a fallen batman, like in Miller's The dark knight returns.

Too bad they failed. People complained about the plot holes in TDKR? You could step over those. The holes in this film are as wide as the grand canyon.

This OP though:

Hey everyone all the haters are marvel fan boys who wanted Dc to fail so that marvel can get more popular then dc and Let's get BVS dawn of justice to 85% p.s we need all of you Dc fanboys to get this movie up to 85% to 90%

I could see them trying to go for that. Affleck definitely seems to have portrayed a Batman that's kind of lost his moral center.

Warner Bros, on the other hand...

This OP though:

That's more sad then autistic (but it's close)

I will say the fight between them is really good.

Then doomsday happened.

$250 million to make the movie, the other $550 million probably went into the hundreds of promotional products.

I can see general audiences liking it. The ending fights were strong enough to wash the bad taste of the first half of the film out.

Metacritic has critics giving it 44/100 and 7.3 with 1333 users. But considering how laughably easy it is to fuck with the numbers, I'd put the margin of error at what non-sockpuppet accounts feel at +/- 1.5

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

I do actually feel bad for Affleck. Seems his performance was one of the only positives in the movie, even with the shitty script.

 

[JU 199]

Yeah, The script was kinda weak but not terrible like man of steel. He did a good job with it though.

 

[DZ 305]

Is it true that

the Flash communicates through dreams or some shit

? Because that's what I heard
