Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
It was severely overhyped to hell and back, the marketing is everywhere(I work at Target and there's Batman vs Superman stuff in literally anything you can think of), they spoiled the entire movie's plot in the second trailer, and Jesse Eisenburg as Lex Luthor was as dumb as picking George Clooney as Batman.

I'm sure the movie is still entertaining and fun to watch though for most people.

I'm still optimistic about Suicide Squad however as the hype and buzz around it is not as much as BvS which is something I like. They also didn't spoil the movie in the trailers which is good.

Really? That's good news. Still, I wish they had the majority about BvS.

Doesn't release until Friday here, though.

Even as a Superman fanboy who hates TDKR, I thought the Batman V Superman fight was absolutely perfect.

Would you say this batman is better than TDK batman, then?

Ben Affleck's look and portrayal of both Batman and Bruce Wayne is top-notch. Batman, visually speaking, has never been more faithful to the comics. There are a few minor gripes that ultimately detract from the character, IMO, but yes. This is the best Batman we've ever had. And a very close second to Bale's Bruce Wayne.

The premise of Superman and Batman fighting is just doomed to fail anyway. You can't make that sound not like bullshit.

It's a kiddie fantasy brought to life, and it just doesn't work.

The premise actually works fairly well here. The fight is given good justification. (At first glance, at least. I've only seen it once.) The fight makes sense and is actually handled with care, something I should've expected from Snyder given his love for Superman first and foremost.

The problem with the movie isn't the story, it's... everything else. Character direction, cinematography, acting (at a few parts), dialogue...

I liked parts of Man of Steel, but I am sick of Snyders shit, and kind of expected this to blow. I still think Affleck looks cool, and I still like Cavill, but that skinny greasy fuck as Flash and that anorexic brown chick as Wonder Woman? What the jesus fuck

Not to mention his trademark le edgy dark shit that I am so fucking tired of.

Snyder's a fucking hack, but don't hate on the dark themes the DCCU is going for. At least it's different than the family-friendly Marvel movies, albeit, worse off for it.

But to me, if you want to do "dark and gritty", you have to do it right. Snyder is fedora tier. Daredevil manages to be pretty fucking dark while still handling it maturely, and at the same time juggling the more campy aspects (The Hand with their ninja le katana shit).

Snyder films are really just depressing, and not even in the introspective or thought provoking kind of way. It's just immature. Similar to how I feel about the Nolan Batman movies, though I think Nolan handled the mature/darker themes in those movies much better than Snyder did in Man of Steel, even though I actually still enjoyed Man of Steel as the decent movie it was.

Agreed. I just wanted to establish that the proper response to the "it's too dark and edgy" critique isn't "uplifting and happy", it's "let's get the dark and edginess right."

Also, I've heard the R-rated Director's Cut is 30 minutes longer. Which could help the movie a lot in my books.

I'll wait for the Blu-Ray release, I will instead stay home and watch Daredevil and wait for Civil War.

Compare it to Tim Burton's version of Gotham, which is (literally) dripping with character but is goofy as fuck. Nolan's was decent, despite being bland.

"You are young. I am old. I am dead."
From the moment I saw Doomsday as a villain, I was expecting this. It looks like they're pulling a Halo 5 with it, by making the fight between Bats and Superman a small part of the film before an even bigger bad comes and they have to team up and be best buds to take him town.

Still gonna see it though. I'm not the one who's paying. I can safely say I'm looking forward to CA3 more though.
It's actually eerie because Halo 4 and Man of Steel have nearly the exact same story.

I'm hearing a lot of people say that the story was good but the movie fell apart on execution. This makes sense. I read the script and thought it was amazing but it looks like there were some changes to it. This is all on Snyder. I hope they find someone else if they're going ahead with Justice League.

I think Snyder makes what he thinks are good scenes instead of making a good movie

Every scene in 3OO and Watchmen look beautiful but those movies as a whole don't really work

i read a review that said this same thing basically. guy raved on and on about how gorgeous this movie is and even said he wouldnt mind seeing it win a cinematography oscar despite technically giving it a negative review. im gonna see it at a GTX theatre on that recommendation.

also watchmen is absolutely fantastic wtf.

From what I've heard, in the Watchmen director's commentary his justification for basically every creative decision is "it looked cool".
