“Well, what about ['Star Wars: The Force Awakens']? In ‘Star Wars’ they destroy five planets with billions of people on them. That’s gotta be one of the highest death toll movies in history, the new ‘Star Wars’ movie, if you just do the math.” Zynder in defense of MOS and upcoming BVS in an interview with wall street journal. He's got a point there. 1 Like |

SIRcumalot: I believe Justice League will still happen. They might be some reshuffling or teaming of directors, that's what I suspect. If you remember well, WB already saw these unfavourable reviews some weeks ago and still decided to stick to their guns. I believe BvS will still be profitable, many people are still eager to see it, at least, the ticket sales are booming. BvS has a well-oiled global marketing, even better than CW. |

charlesm91: That was a very dumb statement, I refuse to believe Snyder actually said that. If he did, then I change my mind, DC should sack him In Star Wars Star-killer base killed billions and destroyed planets. In Man of Steel, Superman killed a lot of people. There is a difference between the evil bad guy of a movie killing civilians and the superhero of the movie killing civilians. The fact that he's defending heroes killing people does that mean they kill more people in BvS? If I watch BvS and any of the heroes kill people then I'm done defending this fool of a director 1 Like |

moneyallowed: You obviously do not get the all issue here. The bone of contention here is that 'thr was too much destruction' in MOS, superman dint kill pple, pple died as a result of his fight with Zod, and wat do u expect wen two titans fight? pple died in Avengers: AOU too doesnt means Avengers killed em. There will be collateral damage, it was just too much in MOS and understandably so since Zod was bent on destroying earth and superman had to defend and these are two kryptonians going headtohead here, it wouldnt have been fought in a small space. And i biliv this is reason for Batman's feud with Superman, he brought his Zod battle to Gotham and caused destruction. And if u watched Civil War trailer, Avengers were under scrutiny cos of the trail of destruction that followed thr battles. So going by wat u wrote, Avengers killed these pple?? smh 2 Likes |

Unfortunately stumbled upon main spoiler in the movie and I'm not gonna ruin anyone's but if you didn't see it coming... |
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by moneyallowed(m): 7:09pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Posman: I get the collateral damage issue, really. My problem is that using Star wars as an excuse is pretty dumb. If he had mentioned Avengers that would have even made more sense. The difference also between Avenger and MoS was they were seen trying to get people to safety and avoid casualties. In MoS there was none of that, Supes even used a building full of people as weapon against Zod That's other guys problem not mine, mine is the kill policy. Some heroes have a moral code and some don't. Let me watch the movie first before I conclude |

“The interesting thing is that we get the critics who have their personal opinions. And the thing about personal opinions is that they always come from a place. And there’s a preconceived idea which you have to get past a critic before you start writing your article or your review, and that affects everything.- Henry Cavill in reply to critics.

moneyallowed:talking about critics and integrity, ever seen the m0vie Birdman? It portrays critic bias in hollywood. In a scene, it showed a critic already writing her review before even seeing the previous batman actor's character in the film performing on broadway. I d0n't think its the script, we've heard Jesse Eisenberg prays it time without number for its philosophic approach. I think they're tearing it down because the film portrayed a bad image of U. S <what snyder films always do a la watchmen and m0st films that tend to do, olympus has fallen, l0nd0n has fallen> or they were paid to tear it down. I remember menti0ning that here b4 the m0vie was released. To me, i would like every0ne to go read, Jesse Eisenberg's m0ck review of a n0n existent m0vie aiming to m0ck critics. That write up totally explains whats happening n0w with BvS. Well i'll like every0ne to go see the m0vie and make his own opinion. |
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys: 12:07am On Mar 25, 2016 |
moneyallowed:now here's where you went off key. You said the avengers, and M0s was a solo superman m0vie that had him fighting a villain much powerful than him bent on killing him, his mum, and the people of earth. During the course of the fight, there was no flash, gl, ww, cyborg, aquaman to save the civillians. And if you watched closely, supes never took the fight to the offices. How did he kill them? People fail to grab the c0ntext of M0s. What if a superman were to c0me or be on earth? Do you really think there'd be no c0nsequences? D0n't let the marvel f0rmula take your reas0ning. When you are in a fight with a mad being that means ur life and those you care about and the greater g0od, would you be thinking at that m0ment the safety of those viewing the fight, cats on a tree or trying to c0ntend the fight and win it? The c0ncept of these films are of the imaginati0n, what if these were to happen n0w? Just like TDK was about what if batman was just a man trying to be m0re than what he was. You d0n't just show the man as powerful and perfect. It takes fr0m the narative. Its n0t like superman the m0vie where every0ne was okay with an alien being on earth or a human being dying for it outrightly. In M0s, we startd with lois pitying these creature who's trying to do g0od, live n0rmal and fit in but couldn't. She saw a humanity in him. N0w thats a c0ncept. It could happen but what can't is in the other film where lois outrightly pines for an alien. In avengers we had every0ne just been c0ol at the end with an alien invasi0n without asking questi0ns, the USA army nowhere to be found during the battle of new york which i d0n't blame cos it wasn't dealing with the c0ncept of realism. 1 Like |

Minemrys:Remember when I told you that some critics already have negative drafts of reviews-ready to publish it as soon as he film is released? Don't you think that's what's happening now? |
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys: 5:40am On Mar 25, 2016 |
Raalsalghul:i guess so. But like Amy Adams said, "this film isn't shot for the critics but the fans". |
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by moneyallowed(m): 6:37am On Mar 25, 2016 |
Minemrys: Bingo, nail on the head! There is critic bias in the movie industry but if you read what I wrote I said they can't afford to be seen as biased. In the case of Birdman, a movie that fully deserved it's Oscar btw, that critic was so well respected that she could tear down or resurrect his career with a word. She was like a god. In the real world that's why you have things like metacritic and rotten tomatoes, to aggregate the scores of several critics, so no single critic can have the final say on a movie. The big studios try to influence critics and swing them to their side cos they know bad reviews can sink a film The essence of a review really is to give a general idea of a film and if it's worth your time to watch, cos life is too short to waste on bad movies. The purpose is not to serve as the final word on the movie, your opinion should be the final word. If you're really concerned about reviews then have one or two reviewers you trust and follow them. I usually listen to Struckmann and Roger ebert's site, these I can relate to That's the thing though, when a movie we love gets good reviews then critics matter all of a sudden and we use the RT score as proof that the movie is awesome, but if the movie is bashed then the critics were biased or have an agenda. Gods of Egypt director recently had a lot of things to say about critics, after his movie was bashed. The funny thing though is while he was right about the undue influence critics have on our opinions, he was wrong in the end cos Gods of Egypt was a very bad film. Now he's claiming the critics are being too soft with BvS cos of bias, that the RT score should be lower and RT is owned by Warner Bros so he may have a point. In fact they are claiming fake accounts and audience reviews are keeping the audience score unreasonably high Anyway I'll watch BvS this weekemd and let you know what I think |
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by TonySpike: 7:41am On Mar 25, 2016 |
Be it as it may, there was clearly overwhelming bias against BvS. When should dark footages and lack of humour or even comparing the movie against another franchise become a basis to judge a movie? There is clearly a pattern in their mediocre review. Every movie deserves to be judged solely on its merit not bias. The sad part of this is that many websites and blogs started following the trend of earlier reviews to make their judgements. Even the guys from collider.com read the reviews before going for screening on Wednesday. After screening, they kept on saying the same. When you read a review before going to watch, it makes you look out for more loopholes. That's how it works. That said, there was a conspiracy against BvS from the outset and the hate went higher with Snyder appointed as the director. Snyder isn't a favourite director in Hollywood, they simply dislike him. |
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by TonySpike: 7:43am On Mar 25, 2016 |
Raalsalghul:You predicted correctly. Those reviewers only needed to watch the movie to rubberstamp their reviews! |
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by kendrick9(m): 8:41am On Mar 25, 2016 |
many negative reviews about jesse eisenberg lex luthor portrayal. |
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by kendrick9(m): 8:42am On Mar 25, 2016 |
In this film, Jesse Eisenberg plays a
whiny Harvard dropout pretending to
be Lex Luthor. |
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by kendrick9(m): 8:43am On Mar 25, 2016 |
Watching Alexander (I'm hesitant to
call him Lex) forcibly shove a Jolly
Rancher into another man's mouth
and then gleefully lick his fingers
afterwards tells you all you need to
know about the character: chiefly that
he's a weirdo who has no place in
this movie. BVS tries to be so ultra
dark and serious, and then this clown
is the villain? Traditional Lex Luthor
would have fit in here so nicely. It's
completely baffling to me why Snyder
and Terrio and co. went with a Luthor
Jr. with surfer-dude-bro hair who
sinks sick shots on the basketball
court.
You put Bryan Cranston or Joaquin
Phoenix in the role of traditional Lex
Luthor and you have a terrifying and
fitting villain. You put Jesse
Eisenberg in the role and make him
Lexy Jr with Daddy Issues and you
get a joke of a villain.
Articles from earlier today also reveal
Eisenberg originally tested for the
Riddler, who was going to be in the
movie. (The producer, Charles Roven,
didn't outright name the character but
it seems obvious that's who
Eisenberg was originally looked at
for). Then they like Eisenberg so they
make him the villain. Go figure. |
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by kendrick9(m): 8:47am On Mar 25, 2016 |
Oh also, the people who are saying
this is a pile of garbage are
completely wrong and should not be
taken seriously. The film does have
some major editing issues but
beyond that, the film is very solid...
the only issue aside from editing that
gets in the way is Lex with him being
out of place and very annoying. I
also have a hard time calling him Lex
Luther since he was not Lex Luther
AT ALL. |

Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by TonySpike: 5:09pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
Posman: Many of those reviews are self-contradicting and obtuse. I read one self-glorifying review from whatculture.com titled "Batman V Superman: I told you it was going to be rubbish". The guy was just grumbling throughout the article proving that his earlier bile of hatred against the movie is now justified. In the comments section, this reviewer, Alex Leadbeater, was properly tutored by movie fans. I later understood that the guy had been writing distasteful articles against BvS for a long time. Apparently, many of these guys are closet Marvel fans... |
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by TonySpike: 5:30pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
I just read that BvS made a whooping $27.7 million at yesterday night (Thursday) opening. That's quite impressive! My local cinema has four viewing rooms for BvS and they rated it 61% here. |
