WGTC's Theo Prasidis gives his view on why Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice may well be on its way to becoming a cult classic.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Interesting read. To be honest when I saw the movie I didnt think it was anywhere near as bad as people had made out. In saying that, the DC universe had a point of difference from Marvel after the Batman trilogy. After BvS though, it felt like they threw that away and tried to just make a marvel film... it just wasn't as good as a marvel film.
It's really not
Can't we just admit when something is bad instead of coming up with excuses.
I wouldn't say a cult classic. I was disappointed with the theatrical release but actually quite enjoyed the Ultimate cut. It made the editing feel less choppy and the flow of the movie ran much smoother. I wouldn't say it deserves half the flak it gets but it by no means was a perfect movie. Having so many writers of drastically different calibers working on it definitely hurt it in the end.
A cult classic? LOL
Don't cult classics generally have to be, you know, good films?
I just watched the Ulitmate Edition, and it does a better job at presenting the movie. the editing is better. My problems with the movie are: SPOILERS
1) The reason Batman and Superman fight:
The entire movie is focused on how Superman is dangerous and if become evil, he would wipe the entire world. Lex spends the entire movie setting traps on everyone so that people think Superman is at fault of everything that happens and that it should be stopped. Batman is the one that wants to stop Superman, however when the capitol explodes, he realizes that Lex is behind everything! He has no reason to fight Superman anymore, so why was he still pissed?! Then, the stupid godzilla moment "let them fight".
2) The reason Superman and Batman stop fighting:
Louis Lane spends the entire movie finding out who is behind everything and at the end of the movie she finds out Lex is the one to blame for the chair explosion and everything else, and that Superman had nothing to do with any of it. Lois should have been the one to stop them when they were fighting. She should have said: "Hey stop! I recently found out that Lex is behind everything! You have no reason to fight! So that they become friends and whatnot. After than, Superman should have gone to Lex to try and stop it but he would have said: Oh! wait! I kidnapped your mother, and so Batman helps him like he did anyways. (but by that time, Lex had created Doomsday, so Superman should be busy trying to stop that).
3) Doomsday:
The movie should have been about Superman and Batman fighting. The fight should have lasted like 30-40 minutes and after they realize that Lex is behind everything, the movie should have ended. Wonder Woman should have only been a cameo just to setup Justice League and that's it. That way, they could have leave Doomsday to its own movie.
4) Superman dying:
Really, another pretend death in a comic book movie? How original!
