EEt's nothing personeel, just beezness.
Do you know how trailers for films work? In case you don't know, for this particular movie there are things being teased, glimpsed at and completely omitted such as the involvement of the military, PMCs and actual super villains. The war between these characters extends far beyond the altercations between the individual characters in your little screen cap you posted.
Yeah, I think you should go and take a seat.
Holland as spider-man is already being likened to what RDJ is to Tony Stark/Iron Man and what Ledger was to the Joker. The Russo bros know what they're doing.
Hhahahahaha You're grasping at straws, pal.
The look of the costume isn't indicative of one's characterisation. When first pictures of Ledger were released, fans went apeshit and harped on about how he had the wrong look and now...the rest is history.
What you're saying is like someone questioning Craig as being a good Bond because his suits look too tight.
Secondly, the worst Spider-Man suit ever? Do you even know about spider-man's history? Holland's costume evokes the classic look of spider-man, with it borrowing from the styles of Ditko, Romita Sr and Alex Ross. He even has the tick-looking spider on his back, which is lifted straight from the comics and which no cinematic spidey costume has used. In your opinion it maybe the worst spidey suit but you are in a very exclusive minority.
Anthony Russo: "We gave such a small impression of the character in that trailer, it’s something of a Rorschach test where people can pour as much of their Spidey anxieties out but when they see the movie they are going to get a very big picture of a very complete character that they have never seen before."
Some of us dig it. And, word has it it'll change over time as Peter continues his crime-fighting career, which is cool. It looks the most comic book inspired yet in its style.
Plus, we've had way, way worse:
Anyway, regarding Civil War and the confidence Disney/Marvel have in their movie...unlike the wool over the eyes tactics WB/DC employed...
Steven Weintraub confirmed:
The film doesn't drop until the end of the month and the 6th of May in the US.
EDIT: Speaking of this 'Spider-Man' reboot, it's now confirmed that other Marvel characters will be appearing alongside him:

I was watching a video recently collecting some of Batman's nastier kills from the films on YouTube, and one commenter, in reference to a kill from one of Burton's movies said something along the lines of, "that guy would've been all right if his mother's name was Martha."
@Creasy47, it teases the Injustice arc where, after Lois is killed, Superman essentially loses it and creates a new world order where he's basically the totalitarian leader of the world. In that sequence, Batman is seen as Lois killer, at least from what I got from it. He was likely framed, though.
Why I don't like this idea is because we have yet to see Superman be a good guy loved by the public (so why see him as a baddie again?), and second, this Lois isn't a woman that would make him snap if she died. She's pretty ditzy and often insufferable with some of the things she does, all encapsulated in the moment where she, for no reason whatsoever, tosses the kryptonite scepter into the water and almost inadvertently kills Superman. In many ways, she was doing Batman's job for him, and not to mention more effectively!
It's very unfortunate that how what was supposed to be a major turning and emotional point of BvS has become a joke.
Yes, that is very unfortunate. Most people seem to misinterpret the scene and forget that Batman is essentially projecting his own tragedy and his mother's life onto Ma Kent. When he says "Martha won't die tonight," I did find it a little cheesy, to be honest. I think the scene would've worked better if it'd been played differently and Batman and Superman actually had a heart to heart moment where both concretely showed respect towards each other. Because at the end Batman acts like he and Supes were best buddies, and Bruce seems to forget that he was close to thrusting a spear into the guy's heart just hours prior.
I wonder what Ma Kent would think about her savior if she knew that?
There were instances of love and adoration there, yes, but I wanted to see a massive wave of public support for Superman. I thought this would occur during the Congress hearing, where Superman would defend his actions and show the people of America and the world that he was a force for good. But of course, we lost that scene which was hyped just as much as the "big fight" in the trailers and other promotional materials because of a twist that I saw coming a mile away. Bugger.
I thought the scene was powerful- as did my fiancé, who wasn't nearly as excited at seeing the movie as I was.
And to all the Spider-Man and Civil War talk going on around here...
did I walk into the wrong thread?
;)
http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/zack-snyder-cut-a-scene-from-batman-v-superman-for-being-too-dark-760
It sort of reminds me of that scene in Ben Affleck's Daredevil-- when he was *just* finally getting to go to sleep and heard a woman needing help. He was like, 'nope, already in bed.' lol
The problem though.... Snyder mentions it would be neverending... yet that's exactly what Superman's about: "Neverending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way"!
I figure it's good they cut it.
Is it just me, or does anybody else hear an 11 or 12 year old's voice when reading Snyder's statements? All his answers sound like they were prepared and delivered by somebody from the age of cellphone obsessive culture who hasn't even hit puberty yet.
I'll rent BvS. 8-|
Unfortunately, this is what I was dreading. Nothing against Affleck as Batman, he did good, but I remember talking to my cousin when they had announce BvS, and telling him I was afraid that Batman would overshadow Superman in the film, and he did. Everyone's been talking about Batman... he needs a solo film.... etc. Nothing on Superman :(.
I heard some people saying this and as a Superman fan, I really hope this doesn't happen. I really want to see more solo Superman films. MoS, I thought it as a Batman Begins, a movie that I liked, but not loved, but would lead to something better in the sequel. As much as I didn't want Lex Luthor as the villain for MoS 2, the events at the end of MoS open up the perfect opportunity to bring in the Lex who thinks Superman is a threat to human kind, can't be trusted and make the general public question him. There were also some rumors about bringing Brainiac in which I would have loved! Now it's all been convoluted by this film.
*sigh* I didn't like that scene, too cheesy. I remember when I walked out of the theater someone said "Your mother's name Martha. Mine too. We're cool now!" in a mocking tone. It was just stupid. It's almost out of some those little kids films.
I pray the WW film will have a better feel for human feeling.
@chrisisall, I think WW will impress you. Gal's WW was the only thing about BvS that I found to be consistently good, and I think that will carry into her solo film too.
From the small footage we've seen, she looks fantastic. There's one scene they teased where Diana is trying on glasses to look more human, and she gives a little smile that is both endearing and adorable in many ways. Such a small moment like that, or a little mannerism gives so much weight and layers to her character. It'll be interesting to see a goddess trying to fit in with humans in the film. Ironically, this goddess will likely give you the human feeling you want back in the DC films.
Thanks! That's reassuring! :-c
@chrisisall, while I think Batman and Superman suffered some character assassination, WW was well done here, I think. There's this great moment, this thing that she does in the last act of the film that made me smile, even after my faith in the film had died by that point.
Oh, boy. As much as Warner Bros. grits their teeth in the face of savage reviews and withering box office for "Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice," if it's not a failure, then the film is certainly on its way to being a disappointment. The picture which cost at least $250 million (some estimates put that figure around $300 million, not including marketing and promotion) was supposed to be a billion dollar blockbuster, which would turn a healthy profit for the studio once it hit that figure. Right now, that mark looks unlikely, and it's going to affect the bottom line in an embarrassing way.
Bloomberg got SNL Kagan analyst Wade Holden to do some number crunching, and counting home video and merchandising revenue, "Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice" will wind up earning $278 million in profit for the studio, a bit below the $300 million in profit "Man In Steel" turned around.
Bear in mind, "Man Of Steel" cost less ($225 million) and even earned less at the worldwide box office ($668 million), and yet, it comes out as the movie that earned more green. It probably doesn't need to be stressed, but when you make a movie featuring two of the biggest superheroes ever known, you expect it's going to do massive numbers, not scraping by to hopefully catchup with the same profit potential as its predecessor. To match "Man Of Steel" in terms of profits, 'Dawn Of Justice' will need to earn $1.15 billion worldwide, but that's simply not going to happen.
