What's BvS excuse?
The fact that it is Batman fighting Superman alone should've raised the inevitable total to $1.5 billion. How you cock that up is beyond me, and like I've stated before, I'm totally shocked that MoS released to mediocre reviews with a marginally "good" box office return...and then they went ahead and let Snyder helm this (not looking to have legs, abysmal reviews) AND the 'Justice League' movies. Then you have something like 'The Force Awakens' hitting $2 billion +, but each new installment in the trilogy brings in a different director.
Wow, just realized I'll be seeing this for my first time in two and a half hours. Wish me luck, I'll post some thoughts later on. I'm either going to love it (won't see all the good coming due to my expectations of it being feces after seeing all these negative reviews) or join that negative club and hate it alongside the majority of you. We'll see in a few hours. Thankfully, I'm not a die-hard comic book fan so I'm sure the biggest complaints most of you may have had won't be something I notice at all.
Wow, Deadpool cost only 60 million??
They seem to have some very talented people in the cost expenditure department!
If only EON would hire them...
Exactly. WB for some reason keep giving they keys to Snyder when time and time again he's failed to deliver. His biggest hit is what, 300? The guy has a great eye for visuals but he's a terrible storyteller. He really messed up with this film and there just wasn't any excuse. WB dumped huge sums of money at him for this movie and agreed for him to direct the JL movie. Honestly, these sorts of fundamental issues that aren't tackled will not allow for the needed solutions to yield the results that benefit everyone.
It's definitely clear that an excellent marketing strategy, brand recognition, little to no competition isn't capable of trumping shoddy filmmaking. BvS should have been a crowd pleaser and it has failed.
Look forward to your feedback on this movie.
Lol yeah, it goes to show that when people know what they're doing and respect the material, their craft and their audience, everyone wins. Don't get me started on EoN and budgets, just thinking about it is going to get me riled up. They definitely need a lesson in money/budgetary management.
I just don't get the issues nor do I get how Iron Man 3 (one of the worst superhero films) made a billion dollars sigh
Pa Kent is just one of so many reasons MoS is a mess.
I love Costner as well, but he just behaves like an imbecile in MoS because he's written that way.
And don't get me started on the death scene of Pa Kent, it is so beyond belief that Clark wouldn't save him in that situation, there is enough time even for him to "run" there without getting the spectators suspicious. That scene made me angry again.
His appearance in BvS was unnecessary and very, very badly done.
Precisely. This supports how Snyder just is not a good story teller. So many of his characters behave nonsensically. It's ironic, when MoS suffered in its second weak due to facing actual competition from the likes of world war z and Pixar it was one of the reasons WB/DC scrapped the idea of a solo superman sequel and to have batman thrown in there and take the lead in the title...now look, BvS has no competition and is dropping harder than MoS did after its second week. It's crazy.

:))
Only positive I had: Affleck makes a great Batman.
Also couldn't wrap my head around people complaining about Batman slaughtering "so many people," when he only actually kills about five. Is this "so many people" to some?
@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, have you considered seeing it again, or was the movie 'one and done' for you?
There have been movies in the past that I've ben looking forward to a movie for sooooo long, felt positively about right after, then once the excitement wore off I'd realize the movie wasn't any good. (The Phantom Menace, for example)
I'm happy to say I still like BvS as much as when I left the theatre! I thought the movie had balls, and I applauded that they didn't hold the audiences hand. I'm actually looking forward to seeing it again. The last movie I saw twice in the theatre was The Force Awakens- it doesn't happen too often.
Batfleck ruled- I'm ashamed to say that I was cautious of his casting in the beginning!
Funny thing was, back in 1978 I had no expectations whatsoever for Superman- I only went because I thought The Omen was rather well directed. And I was blown away for the second time in my life (The first being Star Wars).
Anyway, I'm happy you had a good time with it; I'm sure I'll feel very similar when I get around to it.
