I've officially run out of f*cks to give....maybe the person below me can help..

More..

Twitter reactions are out guys it's mostly positive......I screenshot a few

TonySpike:
I don't think DC fans are demanding for too much. We had epic themes for MOS, WW and BVS. Even themes from SS weren't bad but JL themes represent lack of imagination and a downright slap on our intelligence. It's like you have an impressive 24 carat gold being downgraded to copper before your very eyes. My main grouse with Elfman and Whedon is them both disregarding the splendour of previous themes from Zimmer and Junkie XL.

zimmer retired from cbm and don't know about junkie but there has to be a reason why he was replaced.....elfman is lacking fresh ideas but that's not disputing the the fact that he's among (imo) the top 5 in the business, but once you've done so many films for so many years....you tend to get rusty..... But can we just keep the Hype train going....I feel like whenever there's one thing to be hyped about, fans find 3 things to b!tch about.... It's either Cyborg looks like megatron or Ezra looks like a power ranger or joss dumbed down the movie or steppenwolf's cgi is crappy or 2 hr runtime is stupid

Minemrys:
themes in films put audience into the m0od the scene is. Its necessary for the themes to make sense. Its an0ther character on its own. Everytime i remember bvs, the theme that c0mes to mind is "a beautiful lie" and "must there be a superman?". Epicness in the making. Even Lex's scene made sense. WW was the weakest, and i guess JL is going to take that spot now.

like I said it sounded generic and star warsish but I'll wait till I see the film......and Rupert gregson Williams did a remarkable job with ww... And only 15% of people remember themes, I saw ragnarok a week ago I can't remember any track.....so it's a staple to the overall film but it's not that big of a deal....DC fans react excessively over everything, you should see the comments

TonySpike:
Lol, most DC fans are displeased with Elfman's themes. The Youtube comment sections are lit.

TBH, I don't care much about themes i hardly notice them, I pay more attention to the plot, cinematography, dialogue, acting, editing and effects ......I listened to the tracks there are like 4 I really like 1 very depressing one the rest sound meh, it's sounds more like Star Wars...but it doesn't matter I'll see how it does with the picture first before evaluating it....

Social media embargo lifts tomorrow by 9pm PT .........lets hope for the best, I really want good reviews for jl not because I care about critics, but Snyder really deserves a win at least in the eyes of the GA...

Now I know everyone loves what they love but let us be realistic a bit, iOS is poo any Nigerian using just an iPhone and no andriod back up is suffering, as a student I got the isheet couldn't use its for any thing other than texting calls and social media , I use a lot of software so I sometimes download lite one with my phone then transfer to my pc but I could not do that its was almost useless to me no youtube video download no "real" file manager I sold it after 20days and ran back to my android , the device is prime but it's lack of features makes it useless if you, we're live at their keynote for the iPhone x it was just them selling poo to their users and hyping it it was almost laughable. The x is a great device but the glaxy s6 is an upgrade to it in terms of usage effectiveness,Samsung on the other hand seems to know what we want all the time. As a developer iPhone make me richer but doesn't mean it better than the Samsung flagship device the fact that it's android alone is a long shot .

Shittaakeem:
Thor Ragnarok $427million first week
Impressed

that's not opening numbers, RAGNAROK was released in foreign markets and made about 130m before its North America and China releases.... So it's opening weekend for north America and China but 2nd weekend for other foreign markets..... RAGNAROK is currently making about homecoming numbers..... I see it rounding up at about 870-900m.....

Minemrys:
my hype for ragnarok died when they introduced hulk and turned it into a c0medy.

it was actually entertaining totally worth my time

TonySpike:
I believe the story for JL will work fine in the very least. It was written by Chris Terrio, a proven writer. My grouse is on why they chose Elfman and instructed him to work with themes from the 70's and 80's. Isn't that bizarre?

lol he sounded so annoying in that interview..... there's only one batman theme my as*..... I say the junkie xl theme suits batfleck..... but I'm one of the people who don't really notice those underlying stuff when watching a movie and u feel jl wouldn't be as much as music driven as Mos or BvS....... but am sure they will make up for Danny's generic sounds with cool action scenes and easter Eggs....

I do feel WB are trying to please general audience and critics and not fans but I can't blame them.... they haven't had a billion dollar movie since 2012 so the pressure is on jl..I just think they don't want another bvs situation.... I blame chronic hater critics they pushed WB, well in Cavill's voice "nothing stays serious in cbm world " as for the general audience.... people generally don't like change they like business as usual, formulaic and generic..... I bet if dceu came before the MCU... it will be the Mcu that will be criticised for being too lighthearted...

TonySpike:
Blame Geoff Johns, Whedon and WB for bringing that mediocre Elfman and his 1980's theme back because of nolstagia. Ramin Djawadi or even Greg-rupert Williams would have done a much more superior theme.

you guys need more optimism on this thread..... keep an open mind see, it first



I complained alot about the tonal change for ragnarok before I saw it, but it was pretty cool....

so keep an open mind

looks like the screening went well...

Thor ragnarok is a joke delivery system..... if you are hoping for an epic, serious ragnarok story you'll be disappointed....
The villain was weak, but come on it's an academy award winning actress we are talking about here so her representation was on point...
its not the death personified we know from the comics, no real depth to the hela character.....

is the movie enjoyable?
yell yeah.... The joke delivery system works so well that it doesn't feel forced it's just entertaining and you're just going for the ride, Thor is a unique case, you kind try this tonal change and it will work for Thor, it may not work for Cap.
There's a joke like in every 2 secs but funny enough it makes it cool cause it's properly done and the director's approach fits Hemsworth.....


it was a good flick..... masterpiece? nah!!!! what was joss whedon smoking when he said that?

would i have preferred a more serious take on the ragnarok story?.. yes, but I like waititi's version too, it just seems enjoyable unlike gotg2 which I hated but let's not talk about that now.....

Pros
Enjoyable.
kind of cool visuals the cgi sometimes felt off.
cool fight scenes.
New characters, there's a cool rocklike henchman for Hela... that character was cool forgot his name I'll google it now...
I actually like the plot
LOKI

Cons
Underwhelming villain
Waste of planet hulk arc...
waste of the ragnarok title
didn't like the ending....


7.5/10 worth the watch and the best marvel entry this year....

Infinity war and black panther better bring the serious tone we are expecting....

TonySpike:
Abeg, no more spoilers. All those guys from Reddit are always looking out for spoiler and we ain't them. That said, those spoilers up there are incoherent with some almost looking like stories formed by a fanboy around the trailers released so far. For instance, who was Alfred talking to?

Get ready to get constant negative stories on JL in a few days. Recently, they've tried to use Ben Affleck and Jason Momoas' scandal to damage JL buzz but they failed. So much haters!

exactly it's probably false ....in fact it's most likely false, but don't worry I'll kee the spoilers to myself meanwhile what's this am hearing about 121mins runtime, And on a side note not trying to critic anything but are we just going to ignore that a movie called "RAGNAROK" is Mcu most fun movie yet, yes I know it's watiti but seriously "RAGNAROK "

kryptonian1987:
What do you really think you r doing.....
I don't see you doing such to MCU's thread but, constantly spoiling DCEU's movie before its released date...

Any way, ve u guys come across any site telling us how much $ Thor Ragnarok needs to do for it to be profitable? I guess is NO! But just wait n see when JL is a week + to go...

possible spoilers was written.... and it's probably false....

##possible plot leak
$## possible spoilers

Just a messenger. Found this on 4chan. A little more detailed & reads much better than previous leaks. Could still be rewritten fan fiction but we'll all know in a few weeks.

Footage of two boys asking Superman what's his favorite thing about Earth. He just smiles.

Credits montage about violence and crime escalating since Superman's death.

Gotham. Batman is investigating Parademons and has figured out that they are drawn to fear. He hangs a thug off a roof so his fear attracts a Parademon and plants a tracker.

Victor Stone hides out in his apartment. He was a college football star who got mangled in a car crash. His father Silas used an alien Mother Box to revive Victor, turning him into a cyborg. He's concerned because he's developed new powers - he can fly now, and he doesn't know where the power is coming from.

Central City. Barry Allen meets his father Henry in prison. Barry got superspeed after being struck by lightning. Henry was framed for his wife's murder. Barry is studying forensics and wants to get a job in criminal justice to get him out, but his dad wants him to give up that pursuit and just live his life. Funny gag of Barry drawing a mustache on an asshole guard without him noticing.

London. Wonder Woman stops terrorists in the courthouse. Their leader is Roose Bolton from "Game of Thrones" and unloads an automatic rifle on a group of schoolchildren, but Diana deflects every bullet.

Themyscira. Steppenwolf comes through a portal to steal a Mother Box. The Amazons try to play keep away with the box, tying it to arrows and firing it off before Steppenwolf can get it. But he eventually does and taunts Diana's mother Hypolita before disappearing with the box.

Hypolita orders that they fire a giant arrow to signal Diana that an invasion is coming. Diana sees a television report about it and knows what it means.

Bruce talks to Alfred in the Batcave - Alfred eggs him on about liking Diana.

Diana visits Bruce at the Batcave. Funny gag as she easily goes through Bruce's super security system. They discuss Lex Luthor's journal - it has pictures of Parademons and Mother Boxes.

Metropolis. Lois Lane meets Martha Kent at the Daily Planet. They talk about Clark being gone. One of the young reporters is going on about a seemingly insignificant kidnapping story, but Lois immediately catches that all of the victims are members of S.T.A.R. Labs.

Victor hacks Wayne Enterprises and reads holograms about alien tech.

Back at the Batcave, Diana tells Bruce the story of Steppenwolf's first invasion. He tried to use three Mother Boxes to "remake" Earth, but all the races came together to fight him. There's humans, atlanteas, amazons and two alien Green Lanterns. When one dies there's a close-up of his ring blinking out.

Steppenwolf got exiled by his master (Darkseid) and spent years in space. Luthor's message from the end of BvS alerted him that Superman is dead, and amazons and atlanteans turned their backs on humans, so he comes back to finish his mission and get back in Darkseid's good side.

Bruce tells Diana about his "Knightmare" and says they'll need warriors. He then recounts meeting Aquaman (flashback).

Bruce finds Arthur Curry in a bar and tries to convince him to help people and is rejected. There's a mural on the wall showing an Atlantis warrior and three mother boxes. Arthur is a loner who hates Atlantis but also doesn't fit in on the surface. Arthur makes fun of Bruce for dressing like a bat, then heads back into the water.

Bruce goes to Central City and recruits Barry in his apartment. They get in Bruce's car. "What's your superpower again?" "I'm rich.” There’s also a funny bit about Barry having to eat all the time because his metabolism burns super-fast, and also that he hates brunch and doesn’t understand it.

Victor runs into Diana while roaming the streets of Gotham. She gives him a pep talk about how important he can be and invites him to the team, but he refuses.

Arthur saves a fisherman attacked by a Parademon at sea and takes him back to the bar. The Parademon sees the mural and the Mother Box. Arthur chases it to Atlantis.

Steppenwolf arrives and throws Mera around. Arthur shows up and manages to dodge Steppenwolf's axe, but gets punched into a wall and taken out. Steppenwolf takes off with the Mother Box.

Arthur and Mera talk. Something about him belonging there, but he’s pissed at Atlantis for killing his mom over having a half-breed son. Arthur leaves the amor and trident of his ancestor who fought in the first invasion and leaves.

Parademons break into Victor's home while he's away and kidnap Silas. Commissioner Gordon is told about it and fires up the Batsignal just as Bruce is introducing Diana to Barry. Victor also sees the signal.

Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Cyborg meet Gordon at the rooftop. Gordon tells them about activity under Gotham harbor, and Cyborg says Silas is missing. They all disappear leaving Flash behind.

First big action scene of the movie: Steppenwolf is trying to get the location of the last Mother Box from the captive scientists. Batman brings an armored tank and fights Parademons with Cyborg and Wonder Woman while Flash gets the scientists to safety. Steppenwolf arrives and nearly kills them. An explosion causes a cave in and water to come rushing, but Aquaman appears and saves everybody. Steppenwolf escapes. The heroes leave the scientists with Gordon. Victor and Silas are still on bad terms.

They go back to the Batcave. Alfred likes having people around. Flash jumps in the Batmobile and makes a goof of himself, humming the 60's TV theme. Bruce has the idea of using the Mother Box to ressurrect Superman based on Luthor’s journal about Kryptonian physiology. Diana thinks it’s too dangerous. Bruce says she could be what Superman was, a beacon. She refuses ans things get heated. She says he needs to stop grieving for his parents, and he tells her she doesn’t have room to talk when she ran away from the world for a hundred years because her boyfriend died.

The heroes get the Mother Box from Silas. It was at a top-secret government facility.

Flash and Cyborg dig up Superman’s coffin. It turns out they went to college together and met once before they got powers. They talk about how crazy their lives turned out since then. Flash also points out reviving Superman might not be a good idea because of the "Pet Sematery factor".

The group head to the Kryptonian scout ship with the coffin. They set Clark in the pool. They need to charge up the Mother Box the moment it hits the water. Flash runs really fast to tap into the Speed Force and touches it just as it touches the water. Clark wakes up and explodes out of the ship, flying away.

Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg find Superman at the broken statue from BvS. He’s confused. Batman arrives and tries to talk to him, but Superman thinks they’re still fighting. He grabs Batman and his eyes go red. "Tell me, do you bleed?" Lois jumps out of a police car (Bruce called for her). Superman throws Batman against a car, takes Lois, and flies off. Batman lying on the ground says "Yep, definitely broke something.". During this scene, Cyborg loses control of himself and shoots at Superman. His suit auto-targets Kryptonians because it's Darkseid tech. A Parademon steals the last Mother Box while they're distracted.

Clark and Lois arrive at the Kent farm, which has been sold to a bank.

A Ukrainian family gets ready for dinner. They hear loud noises outside. Parademons are swarming the village. They barricade the door.

Batcave. Bruce and Diana talk about Superman’s resurrection. They apologize to each other. Bruce takes off the batsuit and reveals just how utterly bruised he is from that one punch. Diana says she doesn't want to lead because every soldier she loses hurts as much as Steve Trevor. Bruce encourages to step up.

Clark talks to Lois. Martha arrives, called by Lois. She cries and hugs Clark.

Steppenwolf and the Parademons arrive at a nuclear reactor. They bring all three Mother Boxes together to "remake the world." The family keeps trying to keep the Parademons out.

Bruce tracks Steppenwolf to the nuclear reactor and tells the team. Gets new suit.

Another pep talk between Diana and Victor. He’s worried that he can’t control himself. She tells him he can do it.

Clark leaves the Kent Farm to join the fight. This is the "I’ll take that as a yes" scene.

The heroes get in their jet. Arthur confesses that he’s never really had people before, and if he has to die, then this is a good way to do it. He gets teary-eyed. Diana wrapped the Lasso of Truth around his ankle. It’s actually really really funny.

Steppenwolf activates the Mother Boxes and the skies turn red. There's lightning everywhere and weird alien vegetation sprouting from the ground.

The team arrives in Ukraine and fights Parademons. Batman tries to confront Steppenwolf alone at the reactor but the others join him because they're a team. Steppenwolf overpowers them while monologuing about truth (He claims his mission is to bring "unity" to the universe. A portal opens and it appears Darkseid is watching.

Steppenwolf is about to strike down Batman when Superman arrives and blocks the axe. "I like truth. I’m also a big fan of justice” (yep), he says as he clocks Steppenwolf and turns the tide of the battle.

Cyborg manages not to attack Superman and hacks into the Mother Boxes to stop the red skies. The heroes evacuate the innocents. The family is corned by Parademons and won’t make it. Superman and Flash go to save them. It becomes a race. Flash saves the family by dragging their car, then looks over to see Superman carrying an entire apartment building full of people.

The heroes gang up on Steppenwolf and knock him around. His axe gets destroyed and he gets scared. The Parademons swarm to his fear, and lift him up. The portal closes, effectively a death sentence from Darkseid. Steppenwolf gets ripped apart.

The heroes watch over a mountain as the Sun rises and the world is saved. Flash brings up Batman and Superman's past feud. Superman says Batman doesn't like him much. Batman says "I don't NOT like you."

Lois has a Nolan-esque voice-over about how the world needs heroes as a montage plays.

The Mother Boxes get returned to their rightful guardians.
Diana goes back to London.
Arthur decides to head back to Atlantis.
Barry tells his father that he got a job at the courthouse. "It’s the lowest of the lowest jobs," but he’s gonna do everything he can.
Victor and Silas make up, and Victor accepts who he is
Clark and Bruce move Martha back into Kent Farm. Bruce bought the bank.
Clark goes back to work at the Daily Planet (somehow). He's engaged to Lois and the world is happy Superman is back. Duty calls and Clark rushes out, doing the iconic shirt rip.
Final scene: the Ukrainian girl plants an alien flower. It starts to bloom.

Post-credits gag: Superman and Flash meet up in some abandoned area and prepare to have a no holds barred race. Cut to black as they take off.

Seems Barry is in college in justice league....

Doctormarvin:
mine is parallax..guy's soo cool! at least to me

who do you think will be the villan for DCEU green lantern corps movie , I personally think they should build up the blackest night arc but for the first movie maybe atrocitus and the red lanterns...

XtephenXL:
Larfleeze

Avarice is my favorite lantern ring

SMUAG:
1. SUPERMAN
2. SHAZAM!
3. ICON

The big cheese

TonySpike:
I personally don't think Joss wrote up to 33% of the movie. He co-wrote those scenes with, Snyder and perhaps Geoff, in the first place and it was a total of 24 pages in script. I just think WB needed to give him overall credits for all he did. I believe WB spoke to Chris Terrio who agreed to share his rightful position with Weedon. Lastly, this is more or less a business strategy for WB to capture Whedon's heart for future movies.

it's plausible, but you guys give joss some credit..... He came in and did what he was required of to do which is post production and reshoots.. Don't know about you but jl from the tv spots and trailers is looking pretty good.... And I think it is an amazing blend from two creative directors....

Doctormarvin:
THATS A TRUE DC FAN!...btw no zoom??lol,hate that guy!

he's one of my favorite villans but not character all together..... But i really like the dynamic of the hunter zolomon character..... I don't like his representation in the flash show though....

10. Wonder Woman
9. Black canary
8. Flash
7. Harley Quinn
6. Red hood
5. Shazam
4. Kyle Rayner
3. Batman
2. Robin (Damian Wayne) arrogant bastard
1. Nightwing

Killer frost, darksied , deathstroke, Martian manhunter , spectre , Hal Jordan, Alfred, oracle, bane and many more am tired of typing

kryptonian1987:
Just like Age of Ultron lol.
Bro, is very usual and normal for actors/actress to talk good about any director they are working with. the sooner you realise that, the better you understand that it's also known as
"Marketing strategies" used by Actors and studios to hype and tease their (any up coming) movie.

dude I wasn't implying anything...... I just shared what Ben afleck said ...... I always say its a Snyder movie.....l but let's give joss some credit, he wrote at least 33% of the movie which is what is required for a writer credit. Both joss and zack are one of the best comic book movie directors and they both have great qualities....it's wrong for people to credit joss as the mind behind the movie it's also wrong to not to acknowledge joss because in real sense he contributed his own lot to the jl

"Joss just brought to the movie what good directors bring, which is good taste. A sense of what’s gonna work in the story and what isn’t. An instinct for realism and for finding the humanity in the characters and the humanity in the conflict, then making it accessible and relevant. I think that’s one of the things he did so well with Avengers, frankly. He really defined the tone, and it felt like a lot of the movies after that sort of fell into that tone that he created. It was a very tricky dance where you have all these people who can do all these fantastic things that’s completely absurd on the face of it, and yet, a good storyteller like Joss brings us in, makes us identify with them, makes them seem real, and makes it interesting. A lot of guys know the comic books, a lot of people have that knowledge base. What Joss really has is talent." - Ben Affleck

some DC FILMS LEAKS As usual guys....take with a grain of salt

TonySpike:
I still insist that I am yet to fully see Whedon contributions in these trailers. Most of these scenes contain hardcore CGI which takes at least four months to complete.

it's impossible to tell really because all whedon did was follow zack's original layout....

Iamsheye:
have not even downloaded​ it sef

lemme watch it first.... it releases every Sunday though on cbs access

Iamsheye:
has anyone watched e4

I have it..... but I've not found time to watch it yet....



have you?
