Actually weren't they going to kick it off with green Lantern?

If it was going to start with green lantern it would've ended with green lantern lol.

Officially it starts with MoS. There's a Green Lantern Corps movie slated for 2020 I think

You mean the movie with a 92% approval rate and made over 2 billion at the box office?

No, it won't be better than that. Sorry

Sorry Federick just because it made lots of money doesn't make it a good film. The phantom menace was shit and still made heaps of money. Everyone went to see it because it was Star Wars.

True. What makes is a good film is the near universal acclaim for it

The Phantom Menace is probably a good comparison for BvS.

So much hype, so much disappointment.

DC needs to say goodbye to Zack Snyder.
Oh well DC fans, I guess you can look forward to Suicide Squad now.. Hopefully that does not suck too.

The usual reviewers I trust are all unanimous in their opinions - the movie on the whole is sloppy and a mess, however Affleck has nailed Batman apparently.

Some went as far to say he may end up considered as the best on screen Batman so far, which I'm finding a little hard to believe.

Word is that there is a major screw around with the mythos of one of the main characters, and if true, Snyder's friends (if he has any) had better start preparing their eulogies, because DC fans will lynch him.

Batman seems to be the one thing DC know how to get right, so not at all surprising he'd be the best part of the movie.

I've read a few reviews. Mostly positive but one rips the suitcase out of it.

I watched MOS on the weekend. Watched Batman Begins and Dark Knight tonight seeing as I'm bound to be back in here comparing Bale and Batfleck.

Affleck is an awesome director.

He's a true fan of Batman so it's no surprise he's nailed The Caped Crusader.

I just watched it and I loved it. It pays great tribute to the Dark Knight Returns comics. There are great scenes and I loved the story. Especially the story leading up to Batman and Superman fighting.

People will enjoy it except Marvel fanbois.

It was epic. Builds nicely from MOS and goes from there

Affleck nails it. The best Batman yet.

Gadot is perfect as WW.

Eisenberg will polarise opinion. His Luthor is a very modern take and I think it was perfect, but understand if it wasn't to everyone's taste

Superman didn't get much character development but that's not surprising given most of that was done in MOS and more energy needed to be given to batman

Overall it was a good setup into the future films to come.

The cameos of Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg were brief but significant. Those who though there would be too many characters, turning the film into a mess were very wrong.

The tone of the film might be too dark for some, especially if you are llooking for the humour that Marvel lace their films with (too much at times imo) but it fits

DC needed to make this film as they were behind the 8 ball with their cinematic universe. I dare say that if it came out 6 years ago we'd have a very different film. It's not perfect, movies rarely are, but it's far from the crap a lot of reviews are unfairly painting it to be
