The Comic Book Film Thread *** SPOILERS ***

Mostly Stuckmann, his tastes seem pretty similar to mine.

 

[Noa]

The fact Jon Schnepp can barely raise any enthusiasm for it says everything

 

[Caped Crusader]

MOS suffered due to the religious bullshit they crammed into the film..

Wut?

DOJ.

Bog average.

Most reviews that aren't overly critical or overly positive are making seem Transforneresque. It's big and action packed, and all that action looks nice, but despite how entertaining that will keep you it's not a good movie.

 

[LESStar58]

Eisenberg shat me to tears. Gal Gadot did feck all except at the end. Even Affleck didn't live up to my expectations.

Old mate Calan Mulvey doing well for himself in Hollywood it seems. Good on him!

Catching it on Sunday, IMDB rating falling like a tonne of bricks now that actual viewings are counting.
Shot down to 8.1 and it will get much lower.

Will reserve my judgement when I see it, but butchering both the Doomsday and Dark Knight Returns story arcs is just criminal.

I enjoyed it for what it was a comic book story....

Comic books stories can be great on film, just look at Daredevil and Guardians of the Galaxy.

That's why it's so frustrating, there are tonnes of great stories in the source material and the studios continually f**k them up or water them down.

 

[Timbo]

So that was definitely a movie I just saw.

I have no idea if it was good or not. Which isn't a great sign.

I don't rate many of the Marvel movies, they fit into the 'watered down' category for me. Daredevil is streets ahead of their movies IMO.

Bog average.

You're being kind.

It's a total train wreck imo.

I hated it.

For me the biggest slap in the face was condensing the entire Dark Phoenix storyline from the X-Men comics into the abortion that was X-Men 3.

Oh, and Deadpool in the Wolverine origin movie.

 

[Game_Breaker]

I really wanted to like this movie, but it just didn't live up to the hype. Each individual scene is good actually, the problem is they don't all fit together that well.

Batfleck was very good, I really like they got Joe Morton to play cyborgs dad, for second there I thought skynet was about to become live.
The movie did a very bad job at telling a story, and if it can't do that then it's just a bunch of stuff that happens on screen.

The actual fight between batman and superman was only about 10mins? maybe, another disappointment.

 

[mackdadday]

Ben Affleck has to be the worst actor of all time. Terdiest terd of a performance I have ever seen. Made Batman seem like a complete douche bag all film. Thought the rest of the cast was good especially Lex who stole the show. Not sure why Jeremy Irons was cast as Alfred. He seems about the same age as Bruce Wayne in the film. Happy suprise of the film was that Amy Adams has nice boobs.

 

[McNulty]

Doomsday grew a sword for a hand. I wish it grew back on his nose so he'd be a unicorn.

WW looked like a model in cosplay. They could've got someone who fit the role at least.

The cameos of flash cyborg and Aquaman was just lol and reeked of desperation. Why bother putting them in the actual movie when there was no need? Mentioning them was more than enough.

So many lols so little time

 

[Noa]

Zack Snyder is so f**king stupid and so are DC for letting him do it.

What could have been a great opportunity for a 2 part stand-alone movie is now gone. FOREVER.

 

[McLovin]

Is it true that the actual batman vs superman fight eats up a whole 3 minutes of the 2.5 hour film?

 

[Munky]

IEach individual scene is good actually, the problem is they don't all fit together that well.

I agree with this.

The dream scenes were ridiculous.
