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.
chai chai! Even when I had hoped that this shameless pig had an iota of living brain cells in his brain, he goes one further to show me how utterly clueless and ignorant he is. BvS was just released last Friday and people are going back to watch it over and over again? Bro easy dey show your mumuness in public abeg grin this movie is just opening in many cinemas and this f00l thinks that people are already buying tickets over and over again. God! Never knew baboons are better than some humans. Truly your condom theory is better suited to your situation because it's appalling to see a grown azz man acting like a nail was hammered into his head. For your information, all the money wey you dey yammer upandan here since yesterday is the opening day earnings of BvS. When the Google search button is just at the top of your browser yet you don't want to make use of it then we know that something is wrong somewhere. Don't quote me again.

This is what happens when you are more f00lish than this batman.

Look at this uninformed f00l who hasn't even seen the movie yet, are you sure you're not harping on critics reviews because you can't afford to see the movie? cheesy

When you learn how to read, then you'll be able to see how flawed your thought process is. cool https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2016/03/27/batman-v-superman-earns-a-whopping-424-million-worldwide-in-its-opening-weekend/
Oga stop quoting me and spreading your stupidity all over NL. A f00l that doesn't know that BvS tickets sold out before the movie was released which means that it will make money whether the movie fails or not. Tell me, do people buy tickets after they have seen a movie? they don't! for your information. When a big for nothing rat like your lack basic comprehension skills there's nothing I can do to help you reason with your brain. BvS tickets sold out fast on fandango, meaning that so many folks were eager to see the movie so why won't it make that much in days? What's so hard to understand here? Did someone drop your head on the floor when you were born or are just plain dumb? I'd say the later. Again don't quote me again, your gross ignorance is a deadly disease, a doctor is highly recommended.

Yes, I agree with you. Some things were definitely wrong with the movie: plot holes, editing, characterisation and the cgi. But the reason why we are beefing with the critics is because they want D.C to use Marvel's approach, which doesn't make sense since they are two different companies.
Finally someone who possess basic comprehension skills, not that m0ron that I have been dealing with for hours now. The sheer number of critics giving this movie a thumbs down suggests that there is something truly wrong somewhere in the movie. You don't make a batman and supes movie and suddenly people gang up against the movie just because it's DC.

I get your point on the DC/marvel approach thingy but TDK and TDKR were dark movies as well, heck the daredevil TV series is as dark as f'ck but it's still successful so the problem is definitely somewhere in the movie for it to come under intense scrutiny.

I'm struggling to understand your logic oo please, so because a certain number of critics gave a movie bad reviews means the movie is bad in its entirety? shocked Haba! Did you not enjoy Age of Extinction? Or do you just think its stylish to go along with the majority and slam BvS?? Do you know how much Fantastic four made in the box office...$168 million, this is a case where the general audiences' view align with the critics.

BvS made more than $170m on day 1 and has made more than $400 million after only 3 days, keep hating lol.
the problem with arguing with a hard-core fan is that they can't comprehend. Nobody cares about how much bvs makes in its opening days, the end game is that it achieves the 1 billion objective, at least in the business side of things it was successful. I didn't enjoy age of extinction because it didn't live up to the hype but that doesn't mean I didn't see the movie. I have never said that BvS is bad because I haven't seen it yet, I'm just going by the overwhelming negative reviews on the movie, I'm not going to hate on the movie because I don't gain anything from that. You should stop shouting about the box office here and focus on the movie, it's not like you will get a kobo from WB. Age of extinction made a billion dollars in the box office but it was panned by critics. MoS received mixed reviews and still made $668m in the box office. I don't want to over flog this argument by repeating the same thing over and over again just because you lack basic comprehension. Bvs tickets was sold out before the release of the movie so why won't it make $400m in 3 days? But does that mean that the movie isn't average according critics and audiences alike? BvS opened in many countries so why wouldn't it make money? We are talking about the movie here and not the money it's making. You can't tell me that over hundreds of critics giving this movie negative are all wrong, something must be definitely wrong with the movie whether you like it or not. Google is there to educate you on how movies are rated either in the box office or in reviews.

I'm done with this back and forth argument. If you have a better thing to say than mentioning box office earnings then we will talk.

If a film isn't good, it won't make money and its as simple as that. While I'd like to point out to you that there are still a lot of critics that gave positive reviews, Lets imagine if ALL movie critics rated the movie as crap and it still passed the $1b mark, who would lose credibility...Is it the audience or critics?

Criticisms are what they are, criticisms and most time can be exaggerated or just made to join the bandwagon of bad reviews. I'd say that the movie making it big is testament to the fact that the critics are in fact, wrong.
Oga there are movies that have negative reviews but financially successful, it's all about the appeal before the movie is released, like I previously mentioned, transformers age of extinction made over a billion in the box office but had negative reviews. There are also movies with positive reviews but bad box office performances.

Criticisms are what they are indeed and when a movie is bad or average, it receives negative reviews. Mind you most audience polls gave the movie a "B" grade which is average. What more do you want? When fantastic four was being slammed left and right last year by critics, I didn't see anybody calling them biased and one sided so why is it that now you guys seem to ridicule critics because it didn't favor BvS? When the good reviews were dropping in you and your ninjas were showing it off to the world but now that the bad ones are trooping in, it's fake.

They didn't. They just trapped her in that woman's body which she later escaped.

<continue from previous post >
what happened to the colt self (someone should remind me cos i cant remeber again)
Thirdly, when dean was about to take the MOC, cain told him that the mark came with a price. Why then did Dean not refuse it considering all he had seen through out all his life. He should have known that the mark would come at a high price yet Dean, a very self rightous character decieded to take the mark. Doesnt this fall out of line from the dean we know ?
Remeber way back in season 5 when he travelled to the future and saw what the consequence of not allow mic to posses him would lead to, yet he said no that there must be another way. (this is after he had seen with his own two eye what lay ahead, he still was defiant. But last season, he was willing to accept the mark no matter the price.
This is definatly not the Dean we know
E be like say you still dey season 9 grin supernatural dey season 11 now oh

The reason he took the mark is simply because it alongside the blade was capable of killing abbadon. He didn't have a choice here. In season 2 Dean despite knowing that he will go to hell, sold his soul for his brother so accepting the mark of Cain and dealing with the consequences is typical Dean. Besides in that season 5, if not that Sam, Cass and Bobby stopped him, he could have said yes because he believed Michael was the only one that could defeat the devil despite millions of people dying.

There is something i noticed in this show. Is it that i am wrong or that i am the only one that noticed or that others did notice it but refused to speak up ?

<clears throat>
its about the mark of cain and its consequences (esp the darkness)
first of all, we all know that the mark of cain (MOC) came about as a result of sam and dean (S&grin) trying to defeat Abaddon. Which you could say is a noble cause (or is it).
Abaddon had already been defeate by s&d so i was shocked and perplexed when they (s&d) were over hyping her. why did the need the first blade when the already had a way to deal with her ?
Why didnt they try other options?
Secondly, how come only the first blade can kill Abaddon ? Whereas a multitude of things can kill an angel? Does it mean that Abaddon is more powerful than an angel ?
Why cant an angel blade kill her ?
An angel blade is a much older weapon that can kill almost anything, so why not Abaddon ? Why didnt they (s&d) even try to use it ?
I don't understand your first question but I will answer your second question. The only thing that can kill an angel is their sword and archangels. Abbadon was a knight of hell created by Cain himself for the devil but then he realized that they were deadly and decided to get rid of them which he did safe for one, Abbadon who possessed the one he loved which made him hesitate and by the time he plunged the blade into her, Abbadon escaped. The only thing that can kill a knight of hell is that blade and since Cain is much stronger than most angels and demons, his products will be harder to kill. Just like a soul eater is hard to kill or the four horsemen who can be killed by death's scythe only, a knight of hell can only be killed by Cain's blade and that's how Dean killed her.

Your thinking is flawed if you decide not to see the movie based off what 181 rotten tomatoes critics told you lol. The movie got MIXED reviews, how many positive reviews did it get from other critics on IMDB? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2975590/?licb=0.28888278630538755

There have been movies with a much higher budget than BvS that didn't even make $1b (example: Man of steel). Read into that what you will but you're already biased the moment you start smashing the movie even before you seen it.

Finally when you consider the overall package of movies, there is no one that delivers a 100% in all aspects aka The perfect movie. Many would argue with you that Snyder was good or other BvS actors played their roles perfectly.
but I never said I won't see the movie because of the bad reviews, I'm just of the opinion that you can't overlook the bad reviews and focus on the box office simply because you are a die hard fan boy. Audience poll in cinemascore gave BvS a B grade which is average, metacritic scored the movie 44/100 based on 50 critics, the Guardian scored the movie 2.5/5. Now surely you can't tell me that all these critics are haters or are biased against the movie. Man of Steel's budget was $225m and bvs is over $250m.
TV/MoviesRe: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by parrotibaba(m):
TonySpike:
...and yeah, on metacritic, audience score for BvS is equally above 70%. This is the close to audience score on RT. Are members of the audience wrong?
bro the audience isn't wrong neither are they right. The success of a movie doesn't depend on one side, you can't choose the side that favours you to justify that a movie is decent. You guys are forgetting that we are talking about Supes and batman here, two of DC comics poster superheroes, do you honestly think people won't be out in their droves to watch this movie? So many folks want to see their comic superheroes on TV and it's now a reality for them so why wouldn't they go see Supes fight batman?. BvS should make a billion dollars in the box office.

Another thing is that this critics are doing their job, which is reviewing movies and right now majority of them are saying that BvS sucks, majority not all, so there's definitely something wrong somewhere because initially reviews were good before the international release and I remember you especially dropping the reviews on this thread but now that reviews are bad, you have turned your back on that, suddenly they are now biased. Is that now fair? Remember transformers age of extinction made over a billion in the box office but had negative reviews.
TV/MoviesRe: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by parrotibaba(m): 11:37am On Mar 27, 2016
TonySpike:
It's called bandwagon effect, dude. It became fashionable for people to rubbish the movie after the first set of reviews. It's like everyone was waiting to write something nasty about the movie. Now, that explains the poor correlation between reviews and the audience. I am am academic reviewer myself and I have reviewed several papers and thesis. I can tell when reviews are biased. The first rule in reviewing is that you must never attack the author/director but the methods. This rule was broken by many reviewers in the case of BvS.
It doesn't work that way, movies either get a critical acclaim, a generally positive review, a positive review, a mixed review, mixed to positive/negative, a negative review or a generally negative review as was the case of the last fantastic four movie. Movie critics do not base their reviews on another, they base their reviews upon seeing the movie. If you check, amidst all the negative reviews, there are also positive reviews. Now if there are positive reviews then the bandwagon effect is non existent because even if the movie has an overwhelming negative reviews, there is still positive reviews going around.

About the comparison between the positive audience and the negative critics, you know people go to see a movie because of certain things. Me for example will see this movie because of the fight between batman and supes, maybe how they fight doomsday and I'm very sure many folks who have seen/are going to see the movie are also going/went to because of one thing or another. Some want to see how Affleck nailed it as batman, some want to see Gadot as wonder woman, some want to see psycho Lex while some want to see the relationship between Clark and Lois, etc. If you read the comments when a new trailer is released you will see that people want to see different things about the movie. Financially, this movie should make a billion dollars because of its budget and it's depending on people who are interested in seeing batman and superman on the big screen. There are movies with negative reviews which end up being financially successful, still doesn't make it a decent movie/movies. There are also movies with positive reviews but disappointing box office outings.

Finally if you attack the methods of a director or an author you are indirectly attacking the director or author. If the methods of Zack Synder are under intense criticism then the man himself is also under criticism, e.g in football, if the methods of a coach isn't yielding results, the coach gets the sack because the methods are from him and no one else. You can't question the method of directing used by Snyder without questioning the man, it simply doesn't make an iota of sense. Zack synder nails it in visuals, 300, the watchmen, MoS and BvS are proof of that but it's the overall package that matters.

The 29% is only from 256 movie critics, But 73% of the 158,000 actual audience members loved the movie but that Rotten Tomatoes won't show that. So who do you believe, 181 movie critics that didn't like the movie or 115,000 movie goers that loved it?

Please go see the movie, its really good. Do not let your choice be influenced by critics who didn't like the movie because it didn't copy Marvel's pg-13 style. The actual audience rating was 3.8/5

You are not going to tell me to ignore the negative reviews of over 181 professional movie critics and accept that 73% of the audience liked the movie. These guys are movie critics for f'cks sake hence the reason some of them are allowed to watch these movies before it comes out to the public. You can't tell me to choose the audience over the critics just cos the critics didn't favor the movie. What would have happened if it was the other way round?

I have already decided to see the movie, bad reviews or not, but it's shocking to see how low this movie's rating is, 29%? WTF?

For DC fans, Snyder should direct JL or he should produce it with George miller directing Terrio's script if WB think snyder's cursed. But to me, snyder isn't cursed, he's misunderst0od. He should be left to do JL 1. For snyder to redeem his public image, he should direct an indie m0vie thats em0ti0nal and without acti0n.
This criticism is coming from DC lovers and film critics, it's a shame that the negative reviews are more than the positive reviews. Don't bring marvel or its fans into this, age of ultr0n faced similar criticism, nobody called on DC fans. And besides this fanboyism/blaming marvel fans or DC haters for whatever bad reviews DC movies receive is becoming stale.


I think WB should look for another director for JL because right now the criticism of this movie is coming from Zack Synder's work as a director. As for me, I will still see the movie, just not so soon.
