Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 It's funny, but these horrid reviews have pushed this one from "I'll probably see it in the theater" to "I have to see this in the theater". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny because I've read all the spoilers since I didn't have any intention of watching it in theaters... but now it's tempting at the least to compare it to Daredevil/Punisher and then to Captain America.

drawkcabi Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 No way for me. I go to see a movie in the theater I want to actually have a chance of coming out having enjoyed the experience. I too gave my money for the last time to Snyder's vision for MOS which had me sit in front of a screen with it's drab, bleak, gray, depressing world that felt like it sucked the essence straight out of me.

sifth Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I'm not even sure if this film is worth seeing now and this is coming from a guy who has the chance to see it for free. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better than Age of Ultron and a few of the marvel movies. This is my opinion and I am not infallible. But you guys need to stop bashing the movie based on reviews, go and watch it. If you do not like it, by all means kick the shit out of it. I'm seeing it tomorrow. Not in the least bit dissuaded from seeing it due to bad reviews from critics, who tend to look for different things. Loads of people here on this forum hated on Man of Steel, which I personally really, really liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be going to see this one regardless of reviews. Going to have to put it off until next week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 There's a good chance I'll see it tomorrow as I can see it for £8 which isn't too much of a risk. I'm starting to think after watching Age of Ultron I should be fair and give DC some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I'll still be going to see this I think, but not this weekend. My expectations are now rather low. ETA: it's currently at 32% on rotten tomatoes, which is lower than The Room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are exceptions, but I tend to agree with them in general. If there are plenty of negative buzz about a movie then sometimes there is no smoke without fire. There have been occasions where I've disagreed with them.. Man of Steel for instance.. and John Carter were both far better than I was led to believe.

Tears of Lys Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 You guys seem to be going on about how Batman has been trashed in this movie. Granted, I'm not the best one to be talking about this, but as far as I remember, the comics did a number on Superman, at least, long ago. I didn't follow Batman that much so I don't know what they did with him, but if it was anything like Superman, all bets were off as the comics progressed. They had Supes doing anything and everything even way back in the '60s and further. Nothing was too ridiculous. Is there some code that says these superheroes MUST be heroes? They could always be redeemed in the next issue! As for the film itself, the biggest problem I'd have with it would be if it were boring. THAT is the only no-no. I saw the previews, and they looked kind of interesting to me. Unfortunately, I probably won't see the movie in the theatre - mainly because I can't get anyone to go with me, and I'd feel like an asshole sitting there alone at my age!

If my NFL experience was somehow contingent upon me watching Zach Snyder movies my conversion to International soccer fandom would be complete. I like that Lionel Messi fellow. As for the debate on whether to see this movie alone or not, I am going to weigh in and say not to do it. Not that I have an aversion to seeing movies alone. I do it all the time. I just want as many people as possible to not see this movie either alone or with people so we can get movies based on my favorite characters of all time, and not this jumbled mess.

Big budget films that miss the mark can sometimes fall into that category for me in that you know the effort is sincere due to the budget. It's kind of fascinating to see all this money (Big name stars, expensive sets and effects, huge marketing campaign) up on the screen and yet it still manages to miss on some basic level. Something like say the first Transformers movie fits this bill for me. It has this huge groundswell of support from the fans, a ton of money behind it, a ton of talent behind it, etc, etc and it still manages to be subpar. Obviously, it's not as visceral or obvious as something like The Room, but it packs a similar measure of laughability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot confirm, but I've heard/read that she's in the film so little that there was no point in marketing her. It seems like it would have been better to make her a surprise.
