Detective Comics Cinematic Universe (formerly Man of Steel)
Edguy:
BvS reviews are out, from what I can tell on RottenTomatoes and Metacritic, the general response is pretty lukewarm. Som good to great elements, but the overall movie seems to be a bit of a mess.
Goddammit DC/Warner/David Goyer.
Neko_Ali:
Pretty much what I was expecting, with their movies up to this point and the previews. Anywhere from 'meh' to 'why did they even bother?' Honestly, the only reason I want to see it is for Wonder Woman... So I'll wait for a cheap matinee.
Edguy:
I just watched Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the movie was even more of a mess than the title..
(click to show/hide)Seriously, there was so much wrong with this movie in terms of writing and editing, I don't know where to begin. There's countless scenes where I was just like "..why on earth would they include this scene?" Obviously there's forshadowing to the upcoming movies, but it's so heavyhanded and clumsily done that I find it outright amazing that this movie was edited by professional movie makers. But the worst thing with this movie, like with Man of Steel, is how there's elements of good things. The casting is great (well, outside of Lex, but more on that later), the design is generally good, there's a ton of great ideas for plotpoints and scenes, but it's all without any structure.
This movie looks suspiciously like the creative board sat down, brainstormed out scenes they needed for promoting the upcoming films, cool scenes they'd like to include, plot-points and dialogue they'd like to see etc, and then they just sent all their ideas down to be filmed and produced. Then some poor intern had to edit it all together.
Also, someone apparently thought this movie wasn't enough of a Batman movie, so they had to switch Lex Luthor with the Joker. Seriously. Jesse Eisenberg doesn't play Lex Luthor, he play's the Joker, except the joker is slightly more socially functioning and also own Lexcorp. His grand scheme is basically "MAKE SUPERMAN KILL BATMAN OR MAYBE THE OTHER WAY AROUND BECAUSE I WANNA KILL GOD???!?!?!? HAHAHA MANIC LAUGHTER"
The action sequences had some cool moments, but towards the end, with Doomsday, things started looking like a WMP visualizer. Seriously, this movied adapted almost everything that was wrong with the Amazing Spider-Man 2...
Arrgh.. With the Spider-Man movies I didn't care. I almost wanted them to suck so that there would be more of a chance for him to go back to Marvel. But this.. I really, really wanted this to be good.
Thrillho:
I would strongly disagree that there's not much plot spoilers there, there was a major plot spoiler at the end of that post.
Edguy:
I guess, but not really anything you haven't seen in the trailers.
