ReRushed Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Brutal reviews. I was once hoping to see a kickass movie. Now, I just want to see if it is as bad as the reviews indicate. Anyone see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Nope I was going to but have been put off somewhat by the critics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I didn't like the first one, wasn't very interested in this one anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 My niece saw it last night. She gave it a D+. She said it was an incoherent mess. In her opinion, half of the film was just a clumsy setup for future DC films. She did give Affleck a good review, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Man Of Steel is my favourite Superman movie. Loved it, flaws aside. Also just found out my best friend loved the new one, so I have high hopes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted this movie to be good, but it doesn't look like that's happening. For starters, I'm not a fan of this latest version of Superman and his backstory. Add in Ben Affleck as Batman, a nauseating new version of Lex Luthor, and Zack Snyder's "Let's knock over even MORE skyscrapers!" direction, and you get a film that I have no intention of seeing. I'll go see the other films, though. Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash..... I still have hope in them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In her opinion, half of the film was just a clumsy setup for future DC films. She did give Affleck a good review, though. I just kind of figured that DC was blowing their wad in an attempt to catch up with Avengers. It would've been silly if Marvel had ONLY done Iron Man then jumped straight into Avengers...which it looks like DC is somewhat doing here with Man of Steel then this. I thought Man of Steel had plenty of issues but I still found much of it to be enjoyable. So, I'll still catch this within the next week or so. As for Ben, I think he's ok occasionally. He's obviously no Daniel Day Lewis but he's also no Shia LeShitball either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 I keep reading things about this movie that make me believe that Zack Snyder has no idea, whatsoever, what he is doing. I'm planning on seeing it this weekend and I fully expect to enjoy a colossal train wreck of storytelling and film making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disembodied Spirit Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 NO ONE can tell me WHY Batman is angry with SupermanDid Batman hit on Lois Lane? Did Superman throw the Batmobile into the Sun??Does Metropolis have a problem with Batman and his South Boston accent?Is the Daily Planet the TMZ of the Comic Book World and write Bruce Wayne is dating a Kardashian?Does Ben Affleck find his missing wife in this film too?

OH WAIT...NOW I get it...No one really cares.Thought the trailers pretty much explained why: Supes & Zod's big building blowup blowout bonanza resulted in the death of someone connected to Bruce...there's that clip of Bruce consoling some little girl in the city wreckage, no? I assume that's a flashback of Wayne witnessing Supes & Zod battling it out and causing an insane number of deaths. As I haven't seen it yet, this is just my guess.

And speaking of Will Smith & DC, I don't care about Suicide Squad. I like Leto as an actor BUT the other characters make it look too crowded and fluffy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Skip the reviews and the biased critics. This movie ruled. I can't afford to skip the reviews. We were going to take the kids to see it. But after finding out that Batman is an angry antihero, doing things like stabbing someone in the chest, blowing others away with a machine gun...no thanks. And that Superman also puts his own needs and desires ahead public safety...the Lois Lane bathtub scene...etc., etc...again, no thanks. I read one review that it was such a dark and disturbing film that there were kids who walked out of the theatre crying. But aside from the kids factor...after reading about it, I don't know if I even want to see it myself. I did, before I read anything about it. But I think I'm going to pass, for now.

Principled Man Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) NO ONE can tell me WHY Batman is angry with Superman Batman is fiercely opposed to anyone having absolute power. As his mission is to stop criminals (who naturally have no regard for law and order), he sees Superman as a potential "ultimate criminal" - someone who can and will do anything he wants, without any regard for the damage he does.
