COG writes - Batman v Superman has divided many fans of superhero films. Stephan makes his campaign not only as to why BvS is a good film, but why we should expect more than just fun and action out of a great hero flick.

Ryan Reynolds has celebrated the fifth anniversary of Deadpool's release with a hilarious - and nolstagic - Twitter post.
Can't confirm or deny any of this until I see the offending movie, but when I hear people with good movie taste saying they laughed out loud at the dramatic climax... I'm scared
Yeah this movie is about as divisive as any I've seen in recent years.
The yes side is really challenging the idea that action and comedy should come second to the drama and character development, if not the fact that you need to go deeper than just what you see on the screen. I can't say I disagree with that sentiment, however all the drama in the world can't save it if it's simply bad.
I'm finally seeing it this weekend so I can properly weigh in. I'm not the type to judge prematurely so I'll go in open-minded at least.
You can't say you want story first and while praising BvS for its depth as it didn't have any while simultaneously giving Amazing Spider-Man 2 love... Those are contradictory statements.
I appreciate what you're trying to get at, I just think you're way off the mark here.
I just find myself that superhero movies are so "realistic" now and dark - ie. the hero gets arrested for damaging property, etc. It's just not fun to watch them any more.
Hummm... this is a strange line between what we wish it should be, and what it is. When I think about a hero I don't think about a trascendental plot that will make me think, superhero movies are what are called "popcorn movies". Of course it'll be about a hero defeating a villain, what else can it be? Most of the trailers are sincere in their intentions, adn we know what we'll be seeing in the cinema. When we're there all that matters is thet's the story they tell, as simple as it can be, is well told. Mad Max: Fury Road is basically a two hour long race; nothing more, nothing less. Pacific Rim were about giant robots fighting giant monsters.
Problem arise where we start to think that "modern super hero films" should be deeper and smart for no reason. All people want to do is get into a dark room and spend two hours seeing a movie that, while forgettable, will work for that time lapse. BvS was boring and the script and direction were terrible, despite it trying to be "deep".
I'm not saying that smart hero movies like Watchmen are bad. I'm just saying that... come on. Just see the trailer. You can't get deceived. Mindless non sense fun. That's what super heros are about.
