I'm interested, what stand are we making exactly?

I am saying you guys are doing a good job at trying to keep it somewhat civilized on here.

It seems the movie is drawing a unique severity of negativity on this forum.

All I am saying that there is justification for users to be negative on this forum towards this movie and imo it is all not trolling or pointless nonsense.

 

 

I didn't like BvS. Doesn't mean I'm going to change facts or root against it. I'm happy there are people who think BVS is a great movie that delivers for them.

Official #BatmanvSuperman gross after just 4.5 days is $181,047,843. Already beats 1st #Thor, #CaptainAmerica & #AntMan pics.

The $15m hold on Monday is an AMAZING number no matter how you slice it. It's not the last day this film will be in the theaters either, so let's just us all hold our collective horses. 

 

 

 

It isn't an amazing number.  That is silly.  

 

Pseudo holiday with a PG-13 mega budget comic property featuring Batman and Superman grossed almost $5m less than Deadpool.  

 

It is a decent number, but AMAZING is not the word for it.  

[TimmyRiggins]

iJack alternating between crapping all over the film one minute, and the next, praising the Monday drop, go figure.

No, it means it's meaningless. People are people. And critics are people too. They have their own preconceptions, their own preferences, their own likes and dislikes. This is not something to be discarded -- it's the very reason why they are chosen to be critics! Because they have a breadth of experience and knowledge and familiarity with (whatever medium they're talking about) and they can express themselves and their opinions vividly and concisely. You may feel those opinions are wrong, and you can discard them as being unhelpful or pointless within the context of what you like and dislike. But that doesn't change the fact that the very concept of criticism is that it is the subjective opinion of the critic.

 

Even within the context of these specific characters and this specific movie, a large bulk of the written criticism has nothing to do with whether the critic in question felt these were the "right" takes on the characters -- most of it has to do with the fact they felt characterizations presented were weak, flimsy, nonsensical, or absent entirely; that the pacing and tone overall was awkward, shambling, and one-note; that as a whole the movie felt turgid, gloomy, and flat.

 

You may disagree with those points -- I happen to agree with them, but it didn't matter because I still liked it -- but none of that has anything to do with with bizarre concept that critics must adhere to some sort of character standard that happens to fit your own opinion of the characters. I don't use these words lightly, but attacking critics for being "wrong" about a movie you liked, as if there was some sort of objective "correct truth", is a sort of narcissistic fascism. Who are you (or who am I? or anyone?) to tell someone what they should or should not think about a movie?

 

 

Yes! Critics are here to review the movie itself not tell us that snyderverse as a universe is not the one we want !

 

 

I don't think you got with the fact that critics are wanting a universe which is not serious instead of reviewing a movie which is, not all but most of them. They are complaining this superman is not as charming like Reeve was , well maybe that is the intention, this isn't the same universe or character trait it's a new version, review the struggle not if the struggle should exist or not. And for batman many reviewers saying he goes overboard , well that is the batman for this universe not the one with Adam west and Nolan where there were specific batman traits which this batman doesn't follow, review the consequences of the actions not if the actions should exist or not. Many others say this is not fun like other comic versions and we know it means like the CW DCU or Marvel movies or Donnerverse. Those universes chose to have quips and shits and giggles and colors and candy, this doesn't , review the movie itself rather than should be sunflowers and sunshine. There are many valid criticisms that are made like the pacing suffers or the script feels disjointed but when you start tone policing the movie saying this version of superman is not the one o agree with rather than accept its here to stay and then review the movie , the rhetoric, that this movie is better than man of steel for most critics will match the RT score

Is BvS worth seeing in IMAX? I have a choice between spending $6 at an average movie theater or $15 for a Laser 2D showing on a true IMAX screen.

[Humbgul]

15m is very decent, maybe there's hope for 400m?

[jj99]

Off Topic:

 

This is FOX' best start to a year ever with $751.4M. I wonder when they'll hit 1B; maybe Independence day opening weekend.

Personally if I had Laser IMAX I would always choose that. 

 

For my second viewing I am going to a large format theater.

Is it because I didn't like the film and want to see it rotting in hell or because the weekend numbers are truly bad while it's Monday good is surprisingly decent? Let's see the rest of the week and next weekend, shall we?

The IMAX sequences looked fantastic in IMAX. (I saw a Laser 2D showing as well.) If you're going to bother to see it at all, and have it as an option, I recommend IMAX 2D over everything else.

Wanting a film to fail because you don't like it...... interesting.

There's nothing wrong with expressing your opinion about the movie. Using that as a springboard to attack others for their views (whether it's other members here, or critics, or filmmakers) is where we draw the line.

 

The fact that so many people choose to antagonize others simply for having a different perspective than them is frustrating -- and while we've generally been very lenient in the past, the staff is sick of dealing with all this petty nonsense* and we're going to stop it as best we can.

 

 

 

*merely posting that you loved or hated the movie doesn't constitute "petty nonsense"

WB posted $12 billion in revenue in 2015. After operating costs, WB was left with more than $1 billion in profit. This and Suicide Squad and even Fantastic Beasts could have flopped and WB would be fine.

 

Warner Bros is more than just films, there's television which is hugely profitable just from Big Bang Theory syndication and Ellen. I imagine consumer products make them a ton of money from Potter, Batman and Scooby Doo alone.

No, wanting a film to fail so Zack Snyder gets the boot and the DCCU is saved. Quite different. I didn't get when people didn't like TASM2 either, but now I do and they were right. But this isn't the proper board for this, neither for the analysis of what I want to happen with this franchise. Let it go.

Yeah, you're ridiculous, let's let it go indeed.

I have a feeling the weekend will surprise

[The Futurist]

I am curious about semantics here.

 

When you dislike a movie or are not too fond of it, you HATE it.

Because Of course.

 

Is there a possible middle ground or is the english language too black and white ?

 

Or is the Internetz ?
