    This is probably the funniest review of BvS I've read so far

    Also, BvS spoilers
    Flash, when he appears to Bruce Wayne out of nowhere from the future and then disappears, is wearing some sort of weird armor but he has his costume underneath and it is just a domino mask? Like, no full cowl.

    Hahahahaha wow. I guess a handicam rip of BvS Is already out there as I just saw some gifs from the film.
    The OBLIGATORY JUSTICE LEAGUE CAMEOS bit is straight up hilarious

    Like

    Each of the clips are on a hard drive and have the character's logos as their icon in the folder ready to go and have absolutely no bearing on the plot

    It is 2 minutes of nothing but HEY WE ARE DOING JUSTICE LEAGUE YOU GUYS FOR REAL LOOK AT THIS

    Also Barry Allen has long hair in a manbun

    I just puked a little in my mouth.

    Gridman! Baby DAN DAN! Baby DAN DAN!

    I've gone from not interested to morbidly interested through to almost disgusted in my own interest.

    I might actually go see this.

    Is this the greatest PR campaign ever undertaken for a movie?

    So does Batman wear the DKR suit to fight Superman, and not Doomsday? I had this desperate hope all of the vs marketing was a dumb fakeout.

    Yes, it is specifically a Superman killing suit.

    He also makes
    a kryptonite spear.

    Was browsing through the user reviews on Rotten Tomatoes for giggles and came across this gem
    Not a review, but a critique of the critics... This is NOT a Marvel/Disney film... STOP CONFUSING IT WITH ONE.

    If you go into it thinking you're going to have laughs and be happy go lucky you're going to be disappointed. DC is the serious "Adult-toned" superhero film... Sure it's great to go into a movie expecting to come out laughing and smiling, but THAT'S NOT DC. Rate it and look at it as it's meant to be. Go see it again with a new mindset. Don't give crap reviews because you don't have any idea what you thought you were supposed to be seeing. DO IT RIGHT

  • sarukunsarukun RIESLING OCEANRegistered User regular
    All of the trailers have had tons of shots of Batman and Superman just beating the shit out of each other, man.

    I don't know what you could possibly expect.

    Plus I'm pretty sure the folks at DC and Warner Brothers aren't that clever.

    In 2002, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was at least a unique cultural take on movie cliches typically reserved for Italian and Jewish squabbles and makeups. Now it's all stale baklava, made with love but past its prime. Opa? Nope-a.

    My favorite part is that it's unintentionally a really good and accurate review.
    Don't go see this movie if you want to come out smiling.

    In a better world, Snyder is the greatest music video director of all time, and has no interest in full-length movies whatsoever. How I envy those lucky bastards.

    Not really a BvS spoiler, but responding to one
    There should be a Superman villain called KryptoKnight, who is a Knight, made of Kryptonite

    yeah while BvS is over here stinkin' up the place, AoS and Flash were really good

    Hopefully Arrow is on point tonight, and I need to catch up on Supergirl, which I've heard is better as it goes on

    Wasn't there something in interviews from MoS about how Kryptonite didn't exist in this version because it was stupid?

    (even though they still did the stupid atmosphere thing instead)

    There should be a Superman villain called KryptoKnight, who is a Knight, made of Kryptonite
    He should be CryptoKnight, who is a Knight who commits crimes with Cryptography. And he'll have nothing whatsoever to do with Kryptonite. But Superman will keep hearing about him and be all "Oh crap, I better call backup!" But by then it's too late, and CryptoKnight has escaped with the diamonds again!

    OR MAYBE HE IS A CRYPTO-KNIGHT IN THE SENSE THAT HE IS A SECRET KNIGHT WHO CONCEALS HIS KNIGHTHOOD, WHICH IS WHY BATMAN ALWAYS WINS OOOOOH SNAAAAAP

    My guess is that it's a hangover from an earlier draft where the Kryptonians didn't know the planet was exploding and dumb dumb Goyer didn't realise it no longer made sense.

    Nah
    Snyder just said it wouldn't appear in MoS and people mad assumptions I think.

    Krypto-Knight, it's Superman's dog Krypto in a suit of armor.

    The "interview" where Snyder says this is super badly written. All he says is that kryptonite isn't in MoS. A single quote is not an interview! Gah, I need details!

    Found another interview, this one about MoS 2.
    With regards reaction to the first film, Snyder acknowledged fan complaints that there's no Kryptonite in the film, and that Lex Luthor doesn't appear. "By no means am I saying those things don't exist, I'm just saying he didn't run into them here", Snyder said.

    I'm really curious to see where I fall on this. Fairly certain I'm not gunna like it. But I wonder if it's gunna be a Man of Steel, where I'm like yeah this is bad, but not like Thor 2 bad. Or if this is gunna be like a Hobbit 2 where I am clutching the the armrests so hard that liquid hate is actually pooling around my finger nails.

    Or a knight who fights Superman using ciphers or pseudoscientific creatures from folklore.

    Clubbing and dancing are decidedly social things. When approached with the concept of dancing or clubbing, asocial folks are filled with the same sort of dread an arachnophobe would feel when approaching a dank cellar.
