We are under estimating the box office power of...

 

BATMAN.

 

The last taste of Batman audiences had was of the Nolan variety.

 

Comparisons could be jarring.

The movie doesn't work on a pretty fundamental level.

The audiences will notice it, trust me.

 

Bad reviews don't come out of a vacuum and even superhero movie sites and geeks sites are very disappointed with the movie, you know people who actually care about these worlds and characters.

 

I say this as one of the biggest Zack Snyder's fan on this board, I watched Man of Steel on Blu ray to hype me up, a movie that I still love to bits.

 

Maybe I am wrong but I don't think so unfortunately ...

 

 

I am beginning to wonder if Nolan as a producer on MOS did not save Synder from some of his bad habits;and without Nolan around Synder indulged his bad habits and a mess of a film has resulted.

I have never cared for Synder very much...the ultimate style over substance director..and was surprised that MOS turned out to be pretty good. Now I am wondering,from the reviews of BVS, if Nolan was not what saved MOS.

I revised the updated the first post slightly, to clarify a couple things and to make the warnings and key information more obvious. Please take a quick look.

Considering the audience for this will skew heavily young, I think the bad aspects are nothing the Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman 'dope' combo can't fix. But then again, I haven't seen the movie yet. Still, I can't imagine it being this awfully bad. For me, to warrant such reactions it would have to have no plot at all, horrible acting, horrible CGI and so on.

That is it getting a tepid reaction on most of the Comic Book sites, who are looking for an excuse to rave about any Comic Book based movie,is telling about this film.

Who gave the 'a lot' of C scores? I'm curious.

All the guys at Collider and IGN plus Chris Stuckmann...I can dig in the Batman v Supernan RT watch thread for you if you want more names but you're going to have to give me sometime to collect the rest of the names.

Join the real hype train guys (for the movie that came out last week)

All the guys at Collider? Three of them gave it a 7.0, 7.5, and 7.5. Is that a C? Every time I see a C grade I always think it's like 5 / 10 lol.

@The Futurist, you are a hair's breadth away from getting a temp ban for that post. That's exactly the sort of quasi-spoilers that aren't allowed here. Take it to the spoiler thread or a PM discussion if you want.

Wonder how many pages of this it's gonna take for Tele's real-life self to look like his avatar. Unless he already does

My real-life self looks like the exploding head dude, which I almost used until what little sanity I still have took control.

@The Futurist not liking it very much has me very worried. Like very, very worried.

[FilmBuff]

Most of the YouTubes are common fans like us and they hated BvS! Toxic wom incoming! Toxic box office results.

What's funny is people reacting like this is so shocking. Like, after the divisive reception Man of Steel had, they should've known to keep their expectations in check. But people never learn so...

 

What expectations?  There's nothing to go on right now.  These are critics.  They are not the ones invested into this universe the way the fans are.  Batman has a massive following and if the film is anything near as good as what I have been reading from FANS then this is going to be an awesome movie.  I can't believe you guys really think critics are going to mean anything to this film, especially opening weekend.  I don't get you guys.

A lot of critics are as invested as fans. They became critics because they were fans especially in the Internet age.

Anyways, I remember making a bet with grim months ago. I'm going to lose it i think but that's because the OW is going to be bigger than I thought. But I thought the total had a ceiling not because of the property but because I predicted Batman vs. Superman was going to be, like other Snyder movies, hate it or love it. I still think that's true although to be honest....outside of the RT score, I haven't read that many reactions.

If there is a major blockbuster without good reviews on IMDB then something seriously went wrong.

Hey people give good reviews to Michael Haneke movies.

 

Anything can happen in this world I am afraid.

My friend watched the movie and expected it to get around 80% on rotten tomatoes, he was so shocked with the 40% thing, this movie cant be this bad
