Just saw the movie..and it's my turn to comment...brb

badinfluence:
*sigh... the bants of an obviously pained fanatic.. going through my posts I didn't bash the movie neither did I praise it. I have no time for fan boyism.. come to think of it, where did you even spring out from? The so called 'fanboy' raised some valid points and you jumped in to defend without getting proper ammo.. am I supposed to take you serious? Even if I'm unserious myself. I've seen fans who agree with the fact that the movie had loose plot points, an abysmal portrayal of lex and Superman's death was totally avoidable and pointless( let's face it we all know he would be back in the first 20 mins of JL... yawn) afflect is a good bruce Wayne. Your only point is 'BvS is making money' which we all know.. you think you're a dc fan? Get in line pal.. the fact that you think Jesse's 'wannabe heath ledger' lex is great, makes you a joke of a fan

Your rant was hard to read but I'll do the best i can (Btw, what the heck is 'Jesse's 'wannabe heath ledger' lex' )

So defending a good movie makes me a fanboy? Allow me to laugh I never claimed that the movie had no pl0t holes, i just said they weren't nearly as bad as you and your fellow fanboys blow them up to be. Seeing as you know nothing about DC comics, let me be the first to let you know that Doomsday did in fact kill superman in the comics and the movie was true to that so yarn all u want

I wonder how many people that gave good reviews you could call jokes, before you give up and realize that you're the one that's embarrassing himself. If all movie critics rate a movie 10/10 and it still fails to break even with the budgeted amount i wonder if you'd say the movie was good? Please it's with real concern i'm asking you what date you're still living in

parrotibaba:
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.

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.

kendrick9:
..already it has made 424m, i see this making 800m without much stress.......

I can predict that this movie will make more than $600 million by the time Easter break is over. This movie has performed beyond expectation. I'll wait and see what the figures are by Tuesday evening. Already, that Forbes guy called Scott Mendelson is now calling the movie transformer of comic books . The guy is such a loser, I'm sure he's surprised that the movie can go this far after the scathing reviews he submitted against Zack Synder.

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.

Thank you.. thank you so very much. All these bants about bias is really funny.

As of March 27, 2016, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has grossed $170.1 million in North America and $254 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $424.1 million. It had a worldwide opening of $424.1 million which is the biggest for a superhero film, the second biggest for Warner Bros. and the fourth biggest of all time. It became just the fourth film to have a global opening of above $400 million and the first for a superhero film.It also had an IMAX worldwide opening weekend total of $36 million which represented 8.5% of the global opening haul from 945 IMAX screens, the third biggest ever. 59% or $149.8 million came from 3D screens. In the weeks leading up to the film's release, advance ticket sales outpaced The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers and Furious 7.

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..

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? 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.

Do I sound frustrated? No, I just feel the need for reviews to be more objective, that's all. I'm not getting any money from WB concerning this movie, hence, I cannot be frustrated.

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.

The reason why most are calling the critics biased is because they wanted the film to copy Marvel's formula. I just saw the film yesterday-and to be sincere, it had flaws. But I am not about to agree with critics who prefer the film to be a light hearted fest like Marvel.

Na wa for you oh. Now I know you are just trolling. How can you say the dark approach is a gamble when it has clearly worked for them in the past? Uhmmm, have you forgotten the Nolan's trilogy, Batman (1989), Batman (1992) and the most recent example Man of Steel. And even the few times they tried to follow the light approach, how did that turn out: Green Lantern, Superman Returns.

Now i really know there is something wrong with you and its a problem beyond comprehension. I already mentioned to you that negative reviews do not mean any1 shouldn't go and see a movie. Box office performance adds to the credibility of critics' reviews. But i don't expect you'd be able to read it not to talk of understanding but i'm moving.

You claim that you'd still go to see it yet imply that the movie is bad because of the barrage of negative reviews then again deny that you aren't trying to judge the movie. What's funny is that you haven't even see it. And now you want to tell me that all the money BvS has generated so far is from the tickets sold before the premier?

I bring up BvS Box office success to shame comments that yours that bash the movies yet its doing so well. Fantastic four was released worldwide as well and made only $168 million. I don't get a cent from WB but i enjoyed BvS and put it to you that if the movie wasn't good then it wouldn't do well in the box office as well. I think you're the one that needs google instead but hey, i'll help you and one day you might get to help someone with the same mediocre brain as yours, now read up! http://variety.com/2016/film/box-office/batman-v-superman-reviews-critics-box-office-1201740022/

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.

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.

Like I said, treat it like a Micheal Bay film, you're now sounding like the DC fanboy, who praised the film, even though he fell asleep during the film*.

*conversation with cousin, we talked way too much about this film today. Oh & we teased him greatly for walking out, he missed Alexander's moment.

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.

But I think CW would get a passmark review since it's almighty marvel though..

for me there's no contest between two on which i rate more..... captain america:Cw imo has much better storyline/potential than bvs ever had....The only thing bvs had going for them is the fact that we had two widely known superheroes on the big screen so definitely there will be buzz surrounding it..
Captain America:Cw is the movie i'm looking forward to cos it got much better package like emotionally and superior plots....
Not fogetting that the last winter soldier was awsome.... Arguably in the top5 comic movies ever made..I believe in the russo brothers
