if we are to go by your logic it means deadpool a n0n disney film made by fox, disney's rival out sold all mcu phase 1 films leaving the avengers. Let me clarify you, M0S was a 1st entry film into the DCEU and it was able to beat mcu phase 1 films. Deadpool made it cos of the marvel logo and character appeal. As of today superman doesn't have that much of an appeal. They made the character and his c0mics st0rylines cliched without any real threat.

dude whats wr0ng there? I never said M0S had a bigger B. O than avengers. Try read my posts twice. I never said that.

There's a very huge spoiler going around the Internet on BvS. Like I said, I won't announce any spoilers. Warner bros has an embargo on reviews and spoiler until Tuesday. So, we'll wait till then!

Why do want spoilers when you'll still watch the movies? It's just 5 days away...lol. I actually try not to read these spoilers when I come across them. I'll post an authentic early review soon instead. It is non spoiler!

Here's my first impressions of the movie. There's a bit of spoiler here and there. EDIT: I did minimize the spoilers to make more readable if people want to just link to this post by itself. 

 

First off, the screening itself was packed. I mean packed. I thought Star Wars was nuts, this took this to the next level. At least the NDAs weren't as bad. Just to expand on that a bit, the way Disney handledTFA's secrecy, which I'm sure fans approved of, was a nightmare to deal with honestly. Really cool to see so many people out to see Batman and Superman in a live action movie on big screen. 

 

I went in with a mix of hype/anticipation and a bit of dread . I loved Watchmen, while I thought MoS was enjoyable it was a mess in the last half. 

 

BvS is pretty dark, but there's humor here and there, way more then say MoS or Watchmen. 

 

Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman was pure awesome and dark. You can see he's traumatized by the events in the past, and he has some fantastic lines in general (Yes we see the whole parents thing again). Nobody should really be surprised that he was good with the role considering he's a solid actor, but I thought he was great. Versus Bale? That's a interesting question, because Affleck definitely regards Batman as a permanent part of his persona, while in Nolan series he eventually doesn't want Batman. In combat he's pretty much everything everyone would hope for from a film with Batman. One comment on the latest BvS trailer said he fought like the Arkham video games from a scene they showed. That's a good comparison. He's incredible in fights. Also the way Snyder records him in action, you can actually see him fighting unlike the Nolan films, which I'd imagine would make many people happy. He also gets a chance to use his detective skills, do not worry.

 

Also his relationship with Irons, who plays Alfred, is just wonderful in general. Irons was exceptional in the role (Its Jeremy Irons for christ's sake, of course he nailed the role) gets some witty lines and also gets pretty emotional later on. He didn't get a lot of screentime, just enough to be effective. Always passing advice to Batman.

 

Now we turn to Cavill. He didn't blow me away in MoS but in this film, weirdly I feel like he gets more to work with even with less screentime. It was the first time Superman actually feels like he's a character who deals with many issues to me. The blowback from the destruction in the last movie follows him in BvS, and everywhere he goes. He's now followed by cults, and plagued by newspapers and hearings (though the hearings are influenced by Luthor, we'll get to him in a bit). His relationship with Lois (played by Amy Adams) deserves mention here, even if not a lot of screentime. Definitely a time when Superman wishes he wasn't an alien and I felt a bit of sympathy for both of them.

 

Cavil and his interactions with Affleck, especially the fights, are truly something to behold. Definitely worth the price of a ticket in my opinion. I could swear some of the scenes are probably something straight out of a dark graphic novel. Their alternative personas do meet, helped along by Luthor as well. 

 

Who got more screentime? Batman or Superman? I'd say it was about equal, but it certainly did feel like Batman might have gotten slightly bit more, but who knows. I didn't bring a stop watch with me.

 

Eisenberg chosen as Luthor was perfect honestly to me. I know there's a ton of concern over it, but he made it work. He's also hilarious with a dark sort of humor, but he's a very scary person in general. Obviously, he never lets his scary persona show in the public, and he basically used their duels as a distraction.

 

There's a couple of events that the trailers haven't showed or even hinted at, and I'm not inclined to spoil that.

 

Also, Wonder Woman, hell yes. Again, lots of concern about Gadot on the internet and in the industry (I heard a lot), but she did well. Her fight with Doomsday is great. For such little screentime, she was able to show that her character was diverse and interesting. Definitely left me looking forward to the Wonder Woman movie. She gets pissed off don't worry heh.

 

Goffe, :ohmyzod:'s dead body got maybe 20 seconds of screentime, unless you count Doomsday. 

 

Fishburne, Lane, and Hunter were okay, but I think the main problem was they didn't get enough to do, so I felt nothing about them.

 

Yeah, the Doomsday fight. The trinity do get a few shots of them looking badass together. If you love comic book films, again, go see this film for the fight scenes.

 

How's the world in the movies? Gotham City is definitely Gotham City. Obviously you don't see it for the whole film. Metropolis is still littered with destruction from MoS, so I'm glad they showed that instead of ignoring it. Whether the whole destruction angle felt thrown in at the last minute, I wouldn't know because it felt organic for Wayne to be pissed about it. Even gave you a 9/11 vibe.  

 

Oh man, the soundtrack is absolutely wonderful. Properly dark. Batman's theme especially felt super super super super dark almost to the point of repetition. MoS's theme is still there for Superman with a hint of more. Even Luthor had his own freaking soundtrack. A hint of playfulness and amusement. This part I thoroughly enjoyed. The sound design here is just fantastic, but will be mostly ignored sadly. Not a lot of people appreciate it in general.

 

Lots of CGI destruction porn there, but definitely feels sort of toned down till the last act. The visuals are great overall for me, but this is rather opinion based.

 

I feel that Snyder did learn from his mistakes and the writing/dialogue definitely feels a lot better then MoS. There are issues though (I'll address these in a different post). Juggling the characters is extremely difficult, especially for a film like this. I'm rather amazed Snyder even handled it alright. The film gets very frantic (especially towards the end), so to me the long running time flew by really quickly, but there's a few scenes they lets you breath.

Definitely somewhere above a B+. I'll settle on a final grade in a bit. Gave me pure joy to see the trinity on screen. 

 
I'll write more, but these are basically my thoughts.

This review was submitted about two weeks ago. That should be good enough review for you, minemrys. This is the guy that proposed 89% for BvS. Check this link for more info:

thanks. I've seen the review before anyway. But do you think BvS' rating can c0me down drastically? That'll be bad.

I heard the movie is very complex, much unlike any superhero movie out there. This is like any Zack Synder movie, where you have to watch at least twice to understand the deeper meaning of the dialogues. People will have opinions, and a lot of discussions will be generated like MOS. There might be some divided opinions too, this might be where scores will differ. I believe this movie will still receive close to a 90% overall score on RT, based on the reviews I've seen so far.

All the reviews I've read so far are positive. Some are even saying it's the best comic book movie ever (pinch of salt though). That tells you something about those who have actually seen the movie as against speculators. I usually don't mind spoilers, but I'm glad this review was spoiler free. I bet this movie will make about $180million minimum on opening weekend. What do you think?

eh, i'd say am hopeful.

i hope BVS does well @ the box office and is also a quality film too...... i really wnt to see this two duke it out in grand style.....

Deadpool rocks!


A superhero movie that calls to my heart effortlessly. Not bogged down by the feeling of boredom that one gets with origin stories in these kind of movies thanks to the seamless style of storytelling. And I'm glad it's R-rated, loved the foul language, blood and gore. And the quips nko? Ryan Reynolds is a clown! He was definitely made to play Wade Wilson!

Nagasonic (or shey na megasonic?) Teenage Warhead... ;Dwhat was that your power again?

All in all, Deadpool is a movie that is so fun to watch and easily enjoyable that I wouldn't mind watching over and over again and that's a HUGE + in my books. Now I understand why it's making a killing at the Box Office despite being banned in (was it?) Japan. I expect more superhero movies of this nature henceforth, the studios have just discovered another winning formula.

Currently psyched for BvS: Dawn Of Justice. Let's go there!

There's a big spoiler about the death of a character...what if this character was superman? . Just so you know, this movie also draws inspiration for the superman/doomsday battle from the comic The death of Superman . The spoiler says justice league will be formed at the end because of this...

i have been saying that since i heard during filming that they were sculpting a superman statue. Am guessing those clips featuring that statue is at the end of the film. Am sure darkseid brings him back hence the bat visi0n of supes being evil.

Isn't that superman statue the one they showed in the trailers? I saw a full blow-by-blow BvS narration in the spoiler website I gave the link up there. I was almost tempted to read the whole thing but one line I saw was the death of Supes and Martha kent. I closed my browser immediately though make dem no spoil the surprise for me. Some peeps are already saying that Superman was treated badly in the movie due to his death. I guess this part of the movie is what leaves people with divided opinion. Why the hell should he die and batman lives to lead Justice league...lol? I like the outline of the movie already, this movie will change the Superhero genre forever! Unfortunately, I won't be watching it until next week Tuesday at my local cinema here. The full movie story would have circulated by then.

Here's the dream team...

I have read the leaked plot on reddit. Seems aquaman and Victor(before he became cyborg) played certain roles.
