cao: Don't mess with Zootropolis (that's what it's called over here), Disney were on point with this film. I had no idea what I was about to watch - didn't watch any trailers, I'd assumed it would be a musical with animals...boy was I wrong. I didn't expect to watch a detective story that dabbled in prejudice, perseverance & a dash of self parody...in fact the film only had one freaking song. Although, it was one catchy song, it's Disney, they can't help themselves.
its obvious u so much love disney. I guess BvS doesn't stand a chance. Let them release the 3 hour versi0n theatrically jor. I hope they d0n't cut suicide squad because of run time shit. WB shouldn't be scared of being different.
"However, according to the report, Warner Bros. may consider some personnel changes on its upcoming Justice Leaguefilms. While director Zack Snyder will almost certainly remain at the helm, WB may consider adding a new producer to the mix, which may add a small amount of fuel to unsubstantiated rumors aboutMad Max: Fury Road director George Miller joining the film as a producer."
I personally think that Zack Snyder gives excellent cinematography and pictures. He only needs a good director to help him with some areas of film direction. George Miller is a good choice and WB is taking the right step. Justice League: Part I begins shooting on Monday.
TonySpike: Did you get a bootleg version eventually? How good was the picture quality?
camrip. It wasn't clear but that didn't ruin the excitement. Makes me m0re eager for the HDRip and extended version. The m0vie's alright. 5 times better than M0S. I so much love the j0nathan kent scene. The flash scene made me jolt out of fear.
MY REVIEW Although the m0vie had its flaws and the critics were right in a way, its an 8/10 for me. To me the m0vie went too fast paced, no character m0tivati0n, no coherent plot and no straight forward story, in short no story. I couldn't feel for the characters that is to say it had no heart. Its m0re like a trailer for Justice league than a film. The film had no central plot or character. It didn't make us understand if the m0vie was an ensemble m0vie or a character based m0vie. I didn't feel or kn0w who the major characters were. Superman? Batman? Lois lane? Lex luthor? The m0vie just went zig zag but all in all its a g0od m0vie with a storytelling capability that wasn't utilised. Its like the scriptwriter wrote the script for an impr0mptu test or exam. The fault was m0re in the script and editing than in the directi0n but a little bit on the directi0n. For an RT rating, i'll give it a 65% not a 28% it currently is. To me the critics qualms with the film was little m0re than no hum0r or joy but heart and m0tivati0n. Civil war would be m0re better. Am a fan of DC but truth be told.
cao: Quick question, does Jim Gordon handle Batman's day to day life? Who creates and maintains Batman's fancy electronic gadgets? Lucious Fox, that's who...Do you not know your Batman characters? You were better off saying Barbara Gordon (AKA Oracle) or Huntress or any of the Robins or even Damien Wayne...any of them would have been better than Jim Gordon. The Fox question is rather valid because we're not used to seeing Alfred as Bruce's engineer/technician/electrician...from the available tv shows and films, we've known Alfred as his valet/butler/first aid/bodyguard/chef/worrier/cancer patient/former black ops specialist...so yeah we were wondering what happened to Lucious Fox.
n0w thats why this m0vie is different fr0m the n0lan verse. C0mics lucius fox was just wayne's c0mpany manager. Bats made his toys and in s0me versi0ns alfred helped out. So get used to it. Fox isn't that vital as Gord0n. Gord0n in a way keeps Bruce checked according to law or fr0m going over the edge. Gord0n is m0re of a friend than c0mic's fox. In fact it was only n0lan who made use of Fox the way it did. Fox wasn't that vital in the c0mics, he was m0re of a cross between felicity of seas0n 1 of arrow minus the hacking and walter steele of arrow. And that was because n0lan never wanted to portray batman as being too much of a genius to make his weapons. And if you lo0k at it, it was silly. Imagine dangote inc made weap0ns and all of a sudden, a vigilante shows up with those, w0n't i make a c0nnecti0n between dangote and the vigilante? Atleast in a literal sense, i would say dangote sp0nsors the guy, and fr0m his size and behaviour i might start to c0nclude they are the same guy.
cao: Moneyallowed, I also kept wondering where the hell Lucious Fox went to...
Ben Affleck killed it as Batman. After all the sad Batman & other memes, the guy just silenced us with his performance. I enjoyed how he was fully prepared for his fight with Superman, but Doomsday happened and oh boy had to play hide and seek when it was time to fight Doomsday, his ass remembered he was human. We just kept laughing whenever we saw his ass playing hide and seek.
Wonder Woman was awesome, I wish she had more scenes. They could have used some slow mo during the Doomsday fight scene, 'cause sometimes I couldn't actually really see the action. But, her entrance during that scene was sweet though, saving Batman from Doomsday's blast. Oh & that exposition email...!? What the frak?! Was she literally scrolling down slowly to show us a line per scroll? Or was Bruce literally typing it to her in real time? Sometimes, forcibly setting up future characters/plot line in a film can just mess up the flow of a film. Yes, even my dear Marvel messed that up in Age of Ultron with Thor & his Ragnarok pool moment. Although, I did squeal like a schoolgirl when I saw Jason Mamoa as Aquaman...duh it's Jason Mamoa, he's nice on the eyes & Aquaman didn't look like a wuss.
The Flash & dream/vision sequence was a bad call, even though it took a while to realise it was an AU. I was wondering why the hell Batman had a desert costume, then I was wondering why he was outside Gotham, I only finally realised it was an AU when they opened the box. Then Flash happened & I was happy to see him, then I wanted slap someone. They didn't even give us a hint about AUs anywhere, they just dropped the ball and literally ran with it. They said they made the film for the comic fans, they forgot this was a sequel to MoS, which wasn't exclusively made for the comic fans.
Alexander Luthor as your quintessential dot com millionaire annoyed me when I first saw him, I was like this isn't Lex. My sister kept asking me if he was Lex, Jr. (since he kept mentioning his father)...According to Wikipedia, he's actually Lex Jr. But, they had Mercy Graves as his assistant (Lex's assistant from the 90s animated Superman series & the DCAU). Shame we didn't see Mercy's full skills in the film. Although, Alexander actual schemes had their moments & I still believe that his best moment was at the end with the warning, he looked unhinged.
Batman killing bad guys had me asking questions for a few minutes, then I just went he's finally learnt his lesson with all his past enemies. Looks like he got tired after 20 years.
How did Lois Lane know the spear would hurt Doomsday? Does she have a telepathic connection with Superman? How did Superman find out about Bruce's identity? What African deaths were they talking about? Was it the ones that were shot by the bad guys or did they stage another attack or was that chic paid?
n0w, this is my problem with you guys. You c0mplained the m0vie felt rushed and over the place and you want a character that serves no means to the plot in the m0vie. Is that right? Now what do you want lucius fox to do in the film? How do you want him mentioned when he serves no means to the plot? This isn't a batman film so you can't have all his supporting guys in it. Am surprised you didn't even ask for Jim Gordon.
moneyallowed: Lol I'm just estimating. Usually movies open in US and most European countries first before opening in China and India, cos a week or two after opening in these countries, pirated HD copies magically appear on the net. These two countries are a pirates dream. Using Deadpool as an example, only the CAMrip was available on the Internet till like a week and half ago, because, you guessed it, China.
BvS opened worldwide in all countries simultaneously, China and India included, it's a big risk but they need people to go out and see before bad reviews/press kill the hype. So I'm guessing 2 weeks at most we'll have a reasonably clear copy online, it definitely won't take 1-2 months
what about star wars? 4 m0nths, and i haven't seen the HDRip. Wasn't it released in china?

yea, u have a point there bro cos the camrip just came out a day after the film's release. I guess following ur logic the HD versi0n would be out mid april or late.
SIRcumalot: those of us that have seen the movie should really be discussing what we just saw, what you like what you didn't and what could be improved upon instead of all this epistle I dey read. am hearing that there was some clues to darkseid appearance in later movie present in BvS
cao: Actually, I never explicitly stated $1b in this post with respect to BvS, I simply stated that it would make money. I only stated the billion with Bay films & how box office is not always a valid excuse. I simply stated ways how the film could make a lot of money. I've stated in a previous post that I believed it would only make a billion if a Faustian deal was made or fanboys were camping at their local cinema. Fant4stic is a combination of some behind the scenes f**kups with the director & executives, I'm still surprised the film actually got released. At one point, it felt like I was watching 3 different films in one sitting and Sue's hair kept distracting me with the obvious blonde wig they used during the reshoots. That film went downhill once that "1 year later" placard turned up. You see folks paid attention to the reviews from both critics & average Joes. See last year's disappointment - Jupiter Ascending. Excellent world building, excellent story, terrible execution (the script needs Jesus). The film has only gained cult status with girls thanks to social media (especially Tumblr) saying it's our version of Star Wars, even though it's all kinds of crap. I can now watch it and laugh, I obviously wasn't laughing when I initially watched it in the cinema...
Look at Deadpool, did anybody see that coming? Deadpool had the best marketing campaign, with BvS' campaign a close second, for crying out loud Betty White, America's sole surviving Golden Girl, made a video about it. Word of mouth has helped Deadpool. Did you know it's now the highest grossing X-Men film in America? It's also the second highest X-Men film worldwide, it's only needs about $1.8 million to become the highest. It's on track to become the highest grossing R film. It's only been out for 45 days/6 weeks (using US date, I know UK got it a few days earlier). BvS needs to make $600-$800 million, because if the $58 million Deadpool, a 2D R-rated film that's currently banned in China makes $800 million then it will be all kinds of embarrassing. And I actually really want to watch Wonder Woman & the other DCEU films.
so you can criticize them one by one? With marvel on the horiz0n, i d0n't think DC stands a chance.
Next2Bezee: The best available at Pirate bay is a 720p cam rip. Its might still be cam quality but its the best out there at moment. Posting links here is against the rules i think but you could go and search for it on piratebay. Attached the image there so you can decide for yourself whether its ok for you or not.
kendrick9: It definitely will be a somewhat dissapointing if this doesn't hit atleast $900m considering deadpool(admittedly a superior movie) is edging closer to $800m(currently on 746m) and also deadpool had a budget of 58m compared to bvs which was a a whopping 250m...... Consider also that deapool was banned in china, which would have guareenteed a billion.
is deadpool still playing in theatres? As in is the B. O still counting?
Next2Bezee: God cannot save f00ls like you. So BvS sold out $425m worth of tickets before the movie was released ba? Or people that really like it don't go and see the same movie over and over again? Nna its because of idiots like you that men are advised to use condom so as to prevent degenerates like you who do nothing than waste oxygen meant for more informed humans. If you know what is good for you, better let your stupidity end with you and don't reproduce, we don't need more toxic mumus like you in the world. When somebody is trying to teach a fool like you then you must feel honoured and learn.
Keep hating, while people are hailing the movie and its making its money, he-goat.
come on guys, lets n0t go that far into laying insults on ourselves. Its just a m0vie after all. No matter what, we both win. Both WB, Disney and us we win. So no need for clash of words. Its childish.
badinfluence: I once said you guys were over hyping this movie before its release. Now see how much reviews are frustrating you guys. It's always good to have high hopes but to an extent. Another movie that could fall a victim to this is captain america: civil war..
captain america/avengers 2.5 civil war fail? In terms of critic review? Never. The marvel gods would never allow it. D0n't hide under the cam0uflage of neutrality, you too kn0w it w0n't. [isn't it really surprising that a marvel fan thinks civil war will be a figure of critical failure. <rant fr0m an0ther marvel fan in background> This is our universe. <a dc fan> maybe he was just saying the right thing. <marvel fan> we kn0w better n0w, d0n't we. Dc can't rise fr0m the ground beneath us. No we are at the top. <senator finch fr0m grave> power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.]
asalimpo: if todays's christians were the one's being persecuted by Saul of tarsus, what would be their prayer? "All those persecuting fall down and die - by fire by force"
If such a prayer were answered, I dont think even the church would know how great its loss would be. They'd be rejoicing that their enemy is gone, but in God's eyes a big tear drop would be forming..
Sometimes not all enemies need to die for us to make progress. And our making progress isnt the best objective of all , bu the advancement of God's kingdom.
God's kingdom, not our kingdom (our peace, prosperity, well being) , should be the highest priority.
Thank God, saul lived to repent and become what he eventually became - a firebrand for God. An eclipse, that made all other apostles before him look like kindergaten kids in the things of God!!
atleast if saul as in paul had died, there wouldn't have been xtainity atleast n0t in the way we kn0w it. Can you imagine how many jesus' doctrines that he paganised for the r0mans and the world?
moneyallowed: Bro wait for the Hdrip at least, it'll be out in 2 weeks at most. You won't enjoy the CAMrip, remember it's all about the experience and I can assure you the best experience you will get is on the highest quality. The glory of the visuals and cgi will be lost on CAM so just wait. Forget all these people, there's no way the film will fail in your eye, just lower expectations and you'll enjoy it
If this film was released 10 years ago, we'd all be praising it. The simple fact is expectations have increased, we expect more now. That's why it seems we're being harsh. I think it's a good thing. If we are satisfied with this then we'll get more of the same, they will only keep filling cbms with action and explosions. At least now they know some people aren't happy and the Justice League movie will be better for it. When AoU was released and it got criticized for going down the path of Transformers, they had to listen. I hope they learn the same lessons from BvS.
but tell me, 29%? Thats harsh cos if any m0vie below BvS' quality c0mes out and gets a higher rating, am going to start a blog and tear it down. Seriously.
