BlackManta:
There is always a Marvel fanboy who will start making comparison.

Someone called it the best Marvel movie that DC made.

Like they cant resist talking about a DC movie without making reference to Marvel.

I'd say fück them..

Bro calm down they are indirectly telling you what to expect.

Minemrys:
there's one thing abt critical acclaim. You praise or hype a film too much, you leave its fans no chance to enjoy a film without them raising expectati0ns towards those films. Lo0k at star wars for example. Hyping this m0vie so much could turn against the film itself. And, d0n't believe everything the critics say, s0n.

Exactly overhyping the movie will raise high expection which will in turn destroy the movie if it doesn't meet up.

Minemrys:
so was Justice league. Wait for it. And by the way, i realise m0st times films critics praise, i end up n0t liking them e.g w0nder w0man, thor ragnarok, ghost busters, h0mec0ming spiderman, etc.

Whether you enjoy a film or not is left to you.

But Critics reviews are very important because it will affect box office performance.

BVS was headed for a billion dollars after a massive opening weekend before critics thrashed it and ticket sales reduced.

The only time critics reactions did not affect a DC movie was with Suicide Squad.

Word of the mouth from critics is very crucial cuz it can make or mar a movie.
It will only take a miracle to survive it like Suicide Squad did and Venom too.

I may end up not liking Aquaman but I need critics to praise the film especially when you consider how much DC movies have suffered at the hands of critics.

When was the last time this happened to superhero film?

Bro trust me.
Aquaman will turn out to be nothing like Marvel phase one.

Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice

I can bet Aquaman will be just like Wonder Woman: a direct story with no intellectual stimulation. The only angles I see James Wan making an impact are in areas of visuals (Yes, I love the wild fluid-like colors), animation and perhaps, technical stunts. They should rather give me stimulating and unforgettable superhero movies, but alas WB is no longer in that business.

I don't want critics to praise nothing. I want the films to prove themselves as cult classics irrespective of the critics word. And don't tell me there weren't films that were critically acclaimed that did bad at the BO...

That kinda business is not profitable bro...why would WB do it? Critics praising the film is a turn off for me already and its evident its another Wonder woman in waiting. Note the critics praised it as the best Marvel movie? which is funny.

Which is something less than stellar right? I trust your thinking joor. They all say its the best marvel movie cos they know it's nothing that unique or special.

I as a DC fan even want the movie to fail.

Shittaakeem:
But but marvel entertainment does.

I beg your pardon?

Shittaakeem:
Someone twitted its an MCU phase one film
OK.

That's to show the movie is wack. But why such comparison? Why judge a movie based on the performance of another that's way different? Isn't that an insult in itself? Well, i have Warners to blame...the marvel way it is.

Minemrys:

Check Wikipedia the first production company on the list is marvel entertainment.

Minemrys:

Can you just stop with the negativity. I'm beginning to doubt you are a fan. What do you gain from the film failing? In case you have forgotten Warner and co are in for the profits and if the new direction gives it to them, then I'm fine with it. Most important thing for me is that I see this characters on screen. I get that you worshipped Snyder, but dude's has had his run and it wasn't working. If anything, you should be happy. You've gone from heart-broken-by-Warner to direct trolling.

To an extent, I agree with ya.

that's because it is a marvel product na. It doesn't mean Marvel studios had a hand in it. Did deadp0ol list kevin feige as its executive producer? Unless it does, the marvel entertainment there is just to credit marvel for being the creator of the character. Its like the Dc logo seen in the Dc films, it doesn't mean the films are produced by the Dc entertainment banner, they are only listed cos they are in charge of the characters n0t the producti0n of the m0vies. But Marvel studios on the other hand run by Kevin feige is a different case. They produce the films and are resp0nsible for the c0ntents, disney distributes. Go check x men and deadp0ol again. N0tice Feige never claimed glory for deadp0ol or even pr0m0ted it like he does the Mcu films.

trust me, you'll be the 1st to c0mplain down the line once the films start being formulaic. I aint tr0lling. Am a Dc guy at heart. Its only if these films fail that Wb will realise they need to go by a blue print and hunger for quality n0t quantity. Watch how shazam, harlequinn and ww1984 bec0mes, and by then reply me to tell me if i was right or wrong.

BlackManta:
Fox made deadpool.

Marvel studios had no business with it.

Never said they did but simply beat it first before talking to me ...Can't hear you from the top jigga

Minemrys:
you can go back to the preliminary pages of this thread, no one ever said Infinity war would be a flop. And c0nsidering the return of suicide squad at the BO, had the m0vie delivered on the joker, been true to the t0ne it set out for initially, presented Batman in s0me highlight scenes, g0ne with a much better villain, it would've hit a billi0n. WB only wanted to go the guardians of galaxy way and it did SLIGHTLY guardians of the galaxy m0ney at the BO.

Really ? You want me to start burning here again ?

Minemrys:
Suicide Squad

Critics didn't hype or praise Suicide Squad.

Both fans and critics hated the film.

It only became a BO success because of good marketing from WB.

Raalsalghul:
D.C: Tell me, do you bleed? Marvel: (Fly down). D.C: You will. I had to borrow two hundred naira recharge card from etisalat, so I could watch the trailer on my phone. In addition, there is now an official trailer released on Youtube. The trailer is fucking epic. The dialogue is out of this world especially that lex luthor's line where he said “Now we know that devils don't come from beneath the earth, they come from the sky”. The god like respect given to superman is interesting and novel. Overall, I think this movie is going to be legendary. Damn! I can't wait for 2016 to see it. Am not going to wait for any torrent website to download it. I will go to the cinema to see the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice when it debuts. Bleep Marvel! D.C is here.

Who got bleeped ? Lol

Beat what exactly....the box office numbers

Minemrys:
Bro 1 billion is guaranteed. even suicide squad is hopefully going to make close to 1 billion and by guess batman will be in suicide squad. Marvel movies are one dimensional but fun in viewing. mos disappointed me to be honest.

This was You !!!! Time sha has a way of ruining things up

Raalsalghul:
It's not about quantity but quality. D.C needs to produce 3 classic comic book movies that will outdo 20 forgettable Marvel flicks. BvS is the first one.

sorry...keep waiting

Minemrys:
that doesn't stop the fact that the BvS teaser is far better the one staged by age of ultron. True or false?

And infinity War second teaser is better than the entire Dceu

Shazam is pure lighthearted comedy, no surprise there and that tone is perfect for Billy.
WB wouldn't have done it any other way.

Harley Quinn was always light, crazy and fun. We already saw that in Suicide Squad.

Wonder Woman 1984 will never use the Marvel formula.
The tone will be just like the first movie, WB is not crazy enough to change something that already worked the first time.
Patty Jenkins is still in charge.

So count out WW84.

But Stan Lee is an executive producer.

Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice

BVS early reactions were overwhelmingly positive but those reactions were from fans who saw the early screening.
The movie even got a standing ovation at one early screening.

Critics never praised BVS.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Aquaman is getting positive reactions from both critics and fans who saw the early screenings.

No need to correct you on this one. You are absolutely right. The positive reviews were from fans.
