DCU: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

[Cheesebeef]

I know, right?

I would so much rather see THAT movie!

I really hate that they're Avengerizing this world by just throwing EVERYONE into it at once. I mean, how does Batman, the grandaddy of all superheroes not at least get his own movie first to establish a new one. They desperately needed to do that, IMO after Nolan's Batman became so iconic.

and don't get me started on throwing Wonder Woman, Flash and Aquaman all into the movie as well.

WB is going for broke, at least creatively. Let's face it, Man of Steel made money. Financially it makes sense.

I dunno man...I'm apprehensive to say this, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing this. Whether it's because I was such a big fan of the Frank Miller "The Dark Knight Returns" comics, or Schadenfreude, I can't say.

At least the 60's version paid off with some Lynda Carter.

And Herman Munster.. That was classic!

Ok, I'm in.

 

[Covert Rain]

OK.. By far the best trailer yet. That looked incredible. Hopefully, we didn't just see the entire movie.

 

[Chaplin]

Yeah, that is the first trailer that made me really want to see it.

It has been the best trailer, but it's impossible to see the whole movie in it, because it probably didn't tease even 1/3 or 1/2 of the movie. Remember, AQUAMAN is in this, and more. They're trying to focus in on just one part of it to fool audiences into thinking it's a tight story line--which is outstanding advertising, btw. I still think it's going to be a godawful train wreck. I'm still going to see it, but my hopes are for something merely above 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's how low my expectations are.

Aquaman and the other heroes are rumored to be a post-credits scene setting up Justice League, so that is the LEAST of its possible problems.

Wherever did you see where Aquaman and the other heroes were going to have big roles in this movie? Haven't seen that anywhere. Heck, I'm betting Wonder Woman isn't in much more than a quarter of this movie, at best.

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

I'm off the trailer-wagon for movies now...except this one.

Wow!

It's got nowhere to go but down...unless it's a stellar film!

Obviously it's not the entire movie...literally. What I meant is that I hope all the exciting parts were just not shown. I hope they leave a surprise or two. The part that I loved is up to this point they pretty much show Superman toying with Batman. Batman caught his punch and Superman was like WTH?!? Loved that part.

The fight scene with Bats in the warehouse reminded me of the battles in the Arkham Asylum video game.

But, yeah, that WTH look by Supes was great.

 

[Shaggy]

The last trailer was a topper for me. I was excited to see this movie and that trailer added to my excitement. My wife saw a preview of this in a movie we were watching and never cared to see this, until she saw that Wonder Woman was it in it. She's a fan. So might be watching it with her when the kids are at school.

Snyder brought the same brutal fight choreography to the Batman scene as he did in Watchmen. And that is not a bad thing.

I pre-ordered my ticket for opening night for this today.

I expect it to be fun and action packed and worth seeing opening night but I am not expecting great storytelling.

 

[Covert Rain]

I don't really want to see anymore trailers at this point. I just want to see the movie.

I'm a little bit worried that we're not hearing any critic buzz yet. Have they not done screeners for this?

Seems like we usually have some reviews when you get to a week before it comes out. This doesn't even have a score on Rotten Tomatoes as of now. Hope that doesn't mean they are keeping it under wraps.

The buzz about star wars being loved by the critics started like a month before it was out.

 

[BillsCarnage]

Afflecks attempt at Bales raspy voice just sounds awful. Hopefully its not as forced in the movie. Still not overly excited about this, but will see it eventually.

Actually Star Wars Ep 7 didn't screen for critics until 3 days before release and even then it was a select few.

I actually think its an improvement. Sounds digitized or something. I expect this movie to be bad, and the Bale movies (other than the last one) were really good but that voice always seemed really silly to me, especially when he was having to converse rather than simply intimidate.

The only time it really made me think "man, this is stupid" was when he was in costume talking to Lucius... who knew he was Bruce Wayne... Yet still talked in the voice.

The voice definitely sucked in those movies. It was so over the top. Honestly, had he just slightly attempted to make his voice sound different that would have been one thing. It was too much.

Luckily the movies were so good it really didn't ruin my overall experience of those movies. It sounds like to me Ben is doing it better IMO.

the closer this one gets the more stoked I am to see it..... It is my most sincere hope that the worst thing about this movie is ben afflecks attempt to sound like batman....

I might even sneak out opening day and go see this one before the wife gets home from work.

so far, a 41% rating on rotten tomatoes with a lot of comments that we all feared... great visuals, some big action sequences, but generally a mess with too much story/characters smashed together.

I gotta be honest, I hope it kinda bombs (and by bombs, I mean makes less then 300 million domestic). DC's entire plan has sucked from the start and I don't want to see a super-train of awful comic book movies hit the screen from WB.

So basically a Snyder comic book film. Honestly, I have no idea what they were thinking putting this guy in charge of the DC film universe. I will probably go and see it but man...not surprising....yet somehow still disappointing.
