True, but as many scenes it just felt thrown in for what purpose?
Last night my theatre was jam packed- 8pm on a Tuesday!
I sure hope so, would be really bad if a noticeable decline would happen so soon.
I still hope, despite all the negativity (ratings are still dropping) that it'll make 1.5 billion or more.
It would be a shame if it was a financial disaster. I want DC to flourish at the cinema! There is so much that can be done with DC characters.
This movie might be seen as a bomb, of sorts, then, if it needs $850 million just to break even.
first when i heard that i thought it is totaly BS, but now i remember that some studio guy from fox said that "amazing spiderman 2 had to break 1 billion to even be considered a success" or something. Needles to say it didn't.
To me that sounds like the movie business is a total mess right now, how can they even plan like that? These people seem to have a serious gambling problem
Its a visual representation of God/Hero/Saviour, my interpretation of the icy wastes evokes isolation also, the Sun rising being hope light emerging from darkness. What appears to be solar flares, representing other worldlyness. Just mounted and framed that particular print, its iconic.
Sure, but if you blink twice or are still recovering from the overall mess that precedes it you miss it.
There is way too much such stuff in it, short and it goes by fast, the weight of the scene it obviously should have, gets diminished.
I still hope for the Ultimate Cut to bring some order and reduced tempo to BvS. It is needed, desperately.
Good call, and you know what, since we are talking about it, i would throw "jesus christ carrying his cross" in there. Man of Steel had a lot of religious symbolism of that sort, and BvS sure was a continuation of that since Superman was suffering a lot, and obviously:
The chain he is pulling also could be a representation of slave to humanity, struggle against oppression and discrimation. I think the film itself is incredibly dense with symbolism throughout.
An observation I have about the film is there is little if any exposition, which I am happy with. Though I think generally the expectation of main stream films is that things are spelt out to the audience.
@BondJasonBond006 My feeling is the ultimate cut will change peoples opinions on this film.
yes i agree, and now everyone is saying the plot is 'muddled' :-??
That movie was perfectly constructed imho, even without the half hour that was cut.

In short : too much "Super", not much "Man".
What's way more positive, Ben Affleck is working on a script for his solo Batfleck movie which he also might direct. I'm so glad Goyer/Terrio will have nothing to do with that.
I think Affleck knows he has to stay away from them and Snyder if he wants to be the best Batman ever.
Still looking forward to an Affleck-directed Batfleck flic.
Also, Affleck can't be the best Batman ever. That place is already taken:
;-)
Another director i was thinking of a lot after BvS (and that one is probably more far fetched) is Stanley Kubrik. I also heard a couple reviewers on youtube drawing that comparisson.
I don't necessarily mean how Kubrik shot his movies or told a story but rather how his movies made me feel, and think.
I found a lot of that in BvS.
\m/
Oh heavens, that's tragic. One of the absolute pioneers of filmmaking compared to a style over substance effort. I can hear dear old Stanley rolling in his grave as we speak. X_X
You know whats funny? people said the same thing about Kubrik when 2001 came out. that movie was completely trashed by critics.
But i am not comparing those two.
Kubrik was and is way above everyone else, he had balls of steel and did not care for anyones opinion, he made movies for himself entirely.
In the era of multimillion dollar franchise movies, there will never be another guy like him.
I'm just saying that BvS had a punch to it, in it's themes and darkness that i missed for quite a while
There is nothing even remotely Kubrick or Scott in BvS.
