Despite mostly negative reviews, the Warner Bros./DC Comics major motion picture 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' raked in the dough at the box office during the film's opening weekend.
It was a mess, it was a long film and despite having all that time you had so many head scratching moments like "WTF", "Why has has he done/said that", "why did they change/add this" etc.
Then the "thing" which makes them become friends in the end...god give me a break.
The story was all over and packed in far too much which didn't need to be there. It was a filler film, something to pack in as many references as they could to set up Justice League as quick as they could not to an actual well focused story.
I mean you've even said below Age of Ultron was all over the place when it was more focused then this film. They used the time to set up the film, it wasn't to set up Infinity War or Ant Man was it.
@2pac dude are you kidding me, a good story? lmao please dont get caught in the hype or fanboy fathom. The story is the reason the movie sucks so bad. Full of random irrelevant scenes. Cop-out scenarios and convenient events to move the plot was an insult to my intelligence. Plot holes all over the place. The list goes on. Both Avenger movies were better made than this pile of $#*& and thats saying a lot.
Agreed. I hope it makes however much it needs to keep Zack Synder on board. People may not like the way he's handles Superman and Batman, but I applaud him for giving us a new and refreshing live action version of these characters, rather than using the Batman and Superman we've already experienced.
Don't forget that the "Director's Cut" R rated Bluray comes June 16th and that is going to have 35mins of additional footage. Might be the difference between Watchmen and Watchmen Extended Cut.
Man of Steel actually made me care about Superman, as I never liked the care due to how Boy Scoutish and Overpowered he's appeared in the comics that I know of. It was nice to see him portrayed more human, with a lack of knowledge of his powers, of his parents, and himself and wanting to find his place in the world and also discover himself.
There was NOTHING new in that stupid Watchmen extended cut...All they did was splice in that Black freighter animated DVD that got released before hand...Thats not something major nor did it make the film anything more than 45 minutes longer
@FoxTrot Go away already. You been crying and whining for the pass few days about this movie. Get over it. There are people who like it and there are people who don't but to keep crying about the same thing over and over is getting annoying. What's it matter to you whether it got bad reviews or not. Obviously the movie is doing well in the box office is proof that people don't listen to critics. Why? because those are just subjective opinions.
Just like your opinion is subjective as well. Just like others who might like it as well is subjective but it doesn't matter in the end because did what is was suppose to do in the box office. If you don't like the movie that's fine but you don't have to be a raging Marvel fanboy crying on every article when the movie gets good or bad news when you don't even care about the movie in the first place. Just be glad Marvel and DC are giving us all these superhero movies for the next 3-4 years.
I actually went into this movie with the lowest of expectations thanks to what a lot of people were saying and I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't even watch Age of Ultron again thats how much it sucked, but BvS is amazing. It reminded me of Watchmen, but that only helped. People went out of their way to exaggerate about this movie.
424 mil is a pretty strong number for a movie released this time of year. They were also smart to release it before the Captain America (avengers) Civil War movie. This movie more than broke even in its opening weekend and the rest of the ticket sales and bluray sales will give the studio plenty of reasons to keep the franchise going.
i havent seen it yet but im glad it is doing good, if the fans are enjoying it then f*ck what the critics say! i enjoy both marvel and DC movies, AND TBH out of all the marvel movies ive only enjoyed IM1, avengers, and deadpool.
The problem with the movie was the potential to be great was there, all the pieces were in place to make it something special. However for whatever reason be it Zack Snyder's inability to weave it together, the writers not knowing the source material or Warner Bro's pulling a Sony/Fox & getting to involved with it.
Whatever the case it ended up being a flawed waste of potential. It wasn't bad bad like Fan4stic but it could have been amazing like Nolan's Batman Trilogy.
Awesome
But, but, but the "critics" said it was garbage! haha
I enjoyed this film more than age of ultron. Glad it's successful with all the negativity surrounding this film.
