This movie was so sad for me to watch being a huge DC fan. Some good things like Batfleck.
But man the last 10 minutes left me speechless I couldn’t believe how bad most of it was.
LOOOL sounds like Man of Steal was way better (I saw that one in theaters)
LOOOL, no wonder they delayed the release of this movie or like 2 years or whatever. Their TV side is like Monday Night Raw and their movie side is like Velocity or Sunday Night Heat or something…
Max landis just went in hard on this movie. I guess DC just doesn’t wanna compete with marvel.
Angry Joe is going to shit all over this movie.
Max? That dude has been defending every trailer since day one, saying “Wait until you see it before judging.”
WB/DC definitely done fucked up.
Where is Max Landis talking about it? I could not find it
Scaled it to 7-8/10!!
I mean I liked it and lets some of things slide except for Jesse Eisenber just butchering Lex(?), random ass visions/nightmare, and a certain rule getting broken multiple times.
Joe’s going to go HAM on this!!
My favorite movies are the xmen ones. Try again loser
Maybe there can be a decent 30min fan edit down the road or something.
I came back from seeing it.
I went in not knowing much about it and in a way I’m glad I did.
Pros
Affleck ,Jeremy Irons ,and Diane Lanes acting
Batman’s Arkham style combat
Music
Wonder Woman was not bad.
Final battle against DD
Cons
Eisenberg as Lex.
It’s been 38 years ,and they keep finding ways to fuck him up.Was his audition tape him imitating Jim Carrey Riddler?
It took me out of the movie anytime he spoke.
The editing of this is really bad. Subplots come and go. Dreams sequences atop dreams. Especially the first hour,it feels like 3 movies thrown into a blender.
Batman randomly killing
The clumsy way in which other DC characters were teased.
Cavill IMO is capable of much more acting wise,but the script doesn’t do him any justice.
At the very least,there should have been a MOS sequel before doing a crossover.
Overuse of Jesus imagery and elements from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns.
We get it Snyder. No need to beat us over the head with your fanboy stick.
It’s the definition of mediocrity.
Snyder is the Michael Bay or Brett Ratner of
WB.
Grade : 6/10
That would be the same film with slow-mo removed.
I’m having a sleepless night over this movie, NRS did a better job with the DC properties in injustice FFS.
It’s such a horribly bad movie.
Pros
- Affleck is awesome. Anything Batman related is usually solid.
- Everybody cheers when Wonder Woman shows up. How can you not love her?
- Lots of neat imagery here and there: the desert Bat suit, the anti-Supes Bat suit, the “Who watches the Watchmen?” graffiti…
Cons
- Eisenberg, as everybody has mentioned, just suuuuuuucks. His motivations make no sense, his acting is a bad channeling of the Jim Carrey Riddler, his setup with the government is not believable given what a goddamned clown he is. Any scene he’s in could be cut without the movie missing anything. He just confuses the movie.
- The Wonder Woman CGI and most of the CGI is just boring.
- Doomsday looks like a leftover ogre from Lord of the Rings and the fighting is worse than anything you’d expect to see in that movie.
- The dream sequences are terrible and unneeded. And the dream-wake into another dream-wake? What is this, Inception?
- The plot is a fucking mess.
- People openly badly laughed at the “Martha” thing. It’s bad. And this is the friendly crowd of people mostly dressed up as Batman or Superman at a downtown theater in nerd heaven.
- The plot presumes that the most interesting thing to ever happen to Earth in the past thousand years, the alien Superman defending Earth from an invading galactic horde and a terraforming machine that was going to kill everybody, IS JUST SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY TOTES FORGOT ABOUT.
This is like pretending that one of the United Heroes of Flight 93 were the “bad guys”. Seriously, fuck you, fuck your shitty plot, fuck your shitty editing, fuck your mom for not slapping you. Fuck off. If you can’t be bothered to watch your own goddamned movie, why bother other people about it? If you need to, pretend it didn’t happen.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck off.
You can readily watch and enjoy Star Trek 2: Into Darkness, I get that. Then you think back over the plot and most people will realize that it doesn’t make a lick of sense. The first hour of BvS just facefucks you with shitty logic, to the point where my predominant thought was “What the flying fuck?” Appropriate for a Superman movie, sure, but a bad sign.
I just don’t get it. This is the best CGI you could come up with? Man of Steel was waaaaay better. This is the best plot you can come up? Oh sure, now we’ll acknowledge that some very many people died in Man of Steel but ignore the very clear fact that Superman was trying to save our asses. This is the most important event on the planet since the dinosaur extinction, and everybody is just going to sit back and think Superman was the bad guy in that?
Guys are firing guns and missiles in downtown Gotham, and Superman stops BATMAN and tells him off, leaving the missile-firing psychos to go free? No. Just no. This is stupid, your movie is stupid, your movie is gloomy, you don’t have the fucking decency to have watched your own immediately previous movie, and you’re wasting people’s money and more importantly three of the most immortal literary creations of comic books ever.
And fix the goddamned color palette. Fucking over-greyed out dismal gloom.
That would mean Batman is levelheaded and rational. All the CW logic that was missing from the Flash’s last few episodes HAD to go somewhere.
I got tickets for a Saturday showing but I have to know:
What was that whole thing about when Lex said “the red capes are coming?” Did they emphasize it or didnt even touch it?
[details=Spoiler]He delivers the line when the senator chick denies him the permit to import kryptonite.
I don’t quite understand the context of that phrase, anyway. Was he talking about Superman? Some popular movie quote?
I just chalk it up to one of Luthor’s many senseless banters.[/details]
Zack Snyder is that you?
That was a thing in my theater too though. There was mild applause when she hit the screen in gear. I didn’t get it myself, but whatever.
But seriously. Seriously. How the fuck does that Lex make it all the way to the big screen in a movie this big? How do editors and the director look at that performance as it’s being filmed from start to finish and say “yeah, let’s go with that”? I don’t blame it on Eisenberg; he was just given a shitty character, and they no doubt told him to do things as he did. I swear to God. Luthor in this movie is like those annoying Truth commercials that make you want to smoke just to spite them. It’s like they’re daring you not to watch the rest of the Justice League after this.
If that’s true, they could have still done better. Eisenberg will get a LOT of hate, but Lex was just a bad character in this movie. The actor had little to do with it, in my eyes.

Martha Kent photos
I think it’s a strong hint that probably early scripts were supposed to feature Joker along with Lex. This was supposed to be a sort of “World’s Finest” ultimately…
