I watched it. You don't have to believe me, and I don't plan to spoil much anyway.It's good. Miles ahead of "Man of Steel", at least, but not flawless.
Cavill remains efficient, but doesn't have any acting standouts, and his Superman/Clark Kent dichotomy is not great, but his physicality remains impressive. Superman doesn't progress much as a character, but I respect Snyder's commitment to the sullen, tortured Superman he envisioned, at least. Zod's death and the destruction of half of Metropolis are brought up during an effective confrontation with Batman.
Affleck is definitely the standout. Complex, layered, charismatic and compelling. He's great at conveying that tortured man behind the frivolous playboy facade, as well as the dark urges that Batman experiences while out and about. His character arc is pretty effective and manages to remain somewhat symphatetic at the height of his assholeness.
Gadot is OK. Not an acting standout, but she has good physicality and is very charming in her flirty scenes with Bruce Wayne which translate to most of her non-fighting screentime.
Eisemberg was OK and portrayed Lex's descend into madness and paranoia convincingly. He also manages to differentiate nicely between the annoyingly upbeat new age billionaire Lex presents himself as and the manipulative, egomaniac would-be conqueror he truly is. However, he remains sarcastic and douchey even at the height of his villainy, he never gets really serious. He's more Gene Hackman than Clancy Brown.
Amy Adams is good, and I was surprised Lois got as much screentime as she did, she even had a important little subplot.
Diane Lane, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter and Laurence Fishburne are glorified cameos, but they bring their well-established talent to the roles. Irons gets the most, and adds solid gravitas to Alfred.
Scoot McNairy, Jena Malone, Tao Okamoto and Callan Mulvey are little bit roles without much meat to them, and are effectively just little wink-wink nudge-nudge moments to the fans, but McNairy at least has the potential to become important in potential sequels.
The script is solid and the pacing works for the most part, but there are some awkward narrative conveniences and an overuse of montages and dream sequences. The humor is very subdued and a couple of jokes don't land, but it at least imprints a sense of levity that was lacking in MoS.
The Justice League lead-ins are a bit jarring in that it's obvious how manufactured they are, but it works in setting up the characters and the enemies they'll be facing, which is essentially Wonder Woman's role.
Doomsday comes into play in the last act and is more plot device than character, but his design is entertaining and he provides good interpersonal moments.
The action is great as expected of Snyder, with four big sequences. CGI is a bit intrusive in the last one, but otherwise they are competently shot. Great cinematography and production design throughout, too.
Overall, a 4/5 and a pretty promising start to the DCEU. Not mindblowing at all in terms of acting, progression or surprises, but it delivers on what it sets up and promises and rarely falls short to be a fun superhero blockbuster.
>>78584411
>snyder
>good cinematography
Ya blew it
>>78584411
Who is Lt Christie
>>78584411
This contradicts the Reddit q&a where the final act has all the Justice League members (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), and Cyborg) going up against an army of Lexcorp battle drones after the Trinity take down Zod-Doomsday.
>>78584541
>Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
You make it sound like there's any other.
>>78584527
There's a lot of military personnel there. I guess she's General Swanwick's assistant?
>>78584541
That's a lie. And sounds like a clusterfuck.
>>78584398
>>78584411
It's sounds like it's a 6/10 movie. So basically nothing impressive.Except for Batman
How bored do you have to be to make something like this up and then spend hours answering questions?
Is Diana undercover as the Themysciran Ambassador?
I'm under NDA and I'm not going to risk it, so I'm not going to answer many questions and especially not stuff I think will be spoiling, that being said...
>>78584689
Undercover.
>>78584723
So people think she's the Themysciran Ambassador? That's what the other leaker said.
>>78584608
>I guess she's General Swanwick's assistant?
Its a guy. This guy in particular
Should Superman have a midwestern accent?
>>78584737
She's not an ambassador, she presents herself to the world as a wealthy humanitarian. That's what attracts both Wayne and Luthor to her, her background is a mystery and no one can figure out where she's actually from.
>>78584758
Nobody noteworthy, I don't even remember him.
>>78584541
This directly contradicts your mother, who has executive producer credits on the movie.
I don't really believe OP saw BvS, but I think this is the most sensible theory as to the plot of all the leakers so far. If it's true do you see The Flash in costume?
>>78584398
>she has good physicality
Confirmed for bait. You flew too close to the sun with this one.
We really doing this again? At least post something noteworthy spoiler wise
>>78584868
We find out that Kryptonians have corkscrew penises.
>>78584398
So, in other words, dull and uninspired. Just saved me 7 bucks OP.
>>78584918
>confirmation bias
>>78584398
I'm sure this board will play along and act like you are legit just like the rest of the trolls. Enjoy your popularity for the next hour.
>>78584398
Why is luthor working with the government?
>>78585002
To protect us you ungrateful swine.
>>78585025
Lex for President!
>>78584398
What about Aquaman?
Playing along because Im bored:
Whats the context of Aquaman showing up?
How integrated is WW in the plot?
Do we get a handshake?
Is there any indication of the Flash?
>>78584398
Wait, Fishburne?
Is he cyborg? Is he going to be kitted out in glowing blue robot pants?
>>78585025
I didnt ask for his protection. He didnt hire me for a tech job.
How was Green Lantern's performance?
>>78585161
>Fishburne
Perry White.
>>78585161
He's Perry White, remember?
Some Broadway guy is Cyborg.
>>78584411
>>78584398
>Hey guys, I watched that "leak" thread on Reddit and am now rewriting it
>>78585226
>>78585228
Oh, right. Now I remember. Damn, Man of Steel left pretty much no impression on me.
Well, other than an intense desire to fuck Faora in the butt.
>>78584411
who wins batman or superman?
also who defeats doomsday
>>78584464
I hope you're just being a faggot, cuz Snyder is a fantastic visual director.
Faggot.
>>78584758
That's obviously Hal. Why would they some random drone pilot in the cast?
OP didn't say anything that can't be figured out by the trailers or guessed
Fuckin idiots
>>78585353
No one here is actually buying his bullshit, most of us are curious to see what lies he weaves. But I think he fucked off so this thread is low on entertainment value
>>78585343
Because he has one line.
>>78585388
Reddit guy is posting again if you're bored. His lies get dumber by the second.
https://www.reddit.com/user/ViolatingNDA
>>78585389
>IN BRIGHTEST DAY
One line is enough, tbqhwyf,
>>78585411
>Drones are militarized versions of the Kryptonian seen in MoS
Im surprised he didnt mention the Lexosuit by now
>>78585428
They're not casting a nobody soap opera doof as GL.
Callan Mulvey is another actor in the cast list with no role mentioned. Who the fuck is he supposed to play?
>>78585476
Same way they wouldn't cast a nobody period actor as Superman
an Iranian model as Wonder Woman
an actor known for teen related drama as Flash
a theatre actor as Cyborg
right?
People who have worked on the film, forgot who, have confirmed that the doomsday is going to surprise people on where he's placed in the movie, saying there's more than just that. That follows what the most recent leak said. Explain why yours is different.
>>78585581
Not OP, but that article was fake.
http://batman-news.com/2015/12/14/doomsday-patrick-tatopoulos-nope/
Pretty sure all these leaks are fake too.
>>78584464
>>78585657
Yeah im not believing any of these leaks either, but thanks for that link, never really read too much into that interview.
>>78584566
Please tell me you were joking
Hi OP! Do you think you can take this thread to /tv/ - Television and Film? I think it would be a great fit there!
Hope you have a great day!

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Wallpapers
>>78585877
>The Robin Costume
The reddit guy is claiming that the Joker sneaks into the bat cave while Bats is out and does that graffiti during BvS. Isn't it obvious that he did it when he killed Robin?
>>78585877
>Superman did 9/11
>>78585926
Alfred did it while Bruce was out, just to epic troll him
and he got so god damn mad he put on the Batman suit and picked a fight with Superman
>>78585926
Thats completely retarded.
>>78585926
This guy or the guy that said we'd get a full team by the end of the film?
>>78585955
Also the spoiler guy says the Joker blew up Wayne Manor (killing Jason in the process), when it looks pretty unblown up in the trailers. You might say "Maybe it was a small explosion?" A small explosion? In a Zack Snyder film?
>>78585875
That sounds fake. Why would they use him to cast an obscure character who's been a jobber for 90% of his time.
>>78585978
Full team guy, from reddit.
https://www.reddit.com/user/ViolatingNDA
>>78586010
Callan Mulvey isn't that famous, probably just a Russian henchman for Luthor in the movie.
>>78585996
It looked more derelict/run down than burnt.
>>78586010
Are you implying Callan Mulvey is a popular actor? Someone took a picture of his trailer on set, which said Knyazev on it.
>>78585109
Setting up the Justice League.
Not a lot, to be honest.
Yes.
Yes.
>>78585221
Non-existent.
>>78585296
Both on different points.
The United States military, technically.
>>78585526
LexCorp's head of security. His role amounts to getting beaten up by Batman, yelling at subordinates and holding a gun at a supporting character. And then getting beaten up again.
>>78586124
Flash costume?
>>78584868
Fine. Here's something I don't think people have mentioned.Batman's nightmare about Superman conquering Earth is created by the Kryptonian mind-probing technology Zod used on Superman in MoS. In fact, it relates to the most superfluous "plot twist" in the movie.
>>78586153
Yes, but he's a blur in one scene and a surreal dreamlike-figure in the other, so no specifics other than it's red with yellow details and has the wings on the mask.
>>78586203
When does the party and the Senate hearing scenes take place?
How's the soundtrack?
>>78586203
So he's a blur, but you were able to make out the wings on the cowl?
>>78586124
Now when you say "setting up the JL" that doesnt really answer the question to why hes even there in the first place. Brief cameo like the flash? How exactly does he "fit" in this movie OP?
Is it true that Batman is a muslim in this movie?
No one is actually gonna leak spoilers. Warner Bros would castrate you.
>>78585745
Who thought that Superman statue looked good enough for the public? It's very obviously CG and sticks out like a sore thumb.
>>78586267
Early.
Alright.
>>78586274
Dream-like figure.
>>78586300
They're all brief cameos.
>>78586500
That statue is real. That specific shot is also probably not even in the movie, it was made for the teaser.
>>78586500
>it's an actual statue
>>78586500
>>78586524
>>78586500
>Judging 11 months out CGI
Also the statue was at least partly practical.
>>78586500
>It's very obviously CG
I remember nerds saying this about some scenes of Zod in the trailers for MoS and it turned out it was actually Michael Shannon standing there in behind the scenes clips
Goddamn you people try too hard to nitpick
Is it true that Harley Quinn is bisexual in the DCEU?
>>78586574
I'm not OP but I worked on Suicide Squad and I can confirm that Harley isa bisexual MTF transexual
>>78586641
I know you're joking but how the movie is I wouldn't be surprised if they did that
Is it true that Clark finds Darkseid sitting on his couch in the after credits?
>>78586539
Holy shit. I don't even know anymore. Every time I see that specific 'False God' shot it just looks so bad. That's crazy. I wonder if it shows up at other times? I don't even want to hate the film. It mostly looks really good, save that.
>>78586737
It's not in the movie.
Also, it's clearly CGI even if the statue is real in the movie.
What's up with Lex and Lois on the roof? She kidnapped?
>>78585325
Direction is more than being all flashy with the camera you stupid pleb.
>>78585668
>I have no idea what cinematography is

You lost me here reddit.
>>78587320
How much they pay you to write this shit?
>>78585842
Fuck off, Moviebob.
>>78584411
Do they fight drones at the end of the movie like the Reddit leaker said?
Details for Flash/Cyborg/GL costumes? Are the wings painted on the cowl, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they show concept art on CW's "Dawn of the Justice League" special a few weeks from now. We might be able to tell if any leakers are legit before the release date.
>>78584398
>Daily "My Dad works for Nintendo and I've seen BvS" thread
Notice how none of these kinds of threads actually were actually true until a week or two before Man of Steel came out.
>>78587656
Pro tip: They're all bullshitting.
>>78587653
No. The LexOS is completely different from that.
>>78587656
You don't see details, just the basic outlines.
>>78587876
>You don't see details, just the basic outlines.
Why, are they all standing behind a curtain or something? Fuck off.
>>78587770
This. It's too late for them to do focus-testing driven reshoots but too early for them to do critic screenings so this window is pure bullshit season.
>>78588018
OP cant even be bothered to come up with interesting lies
>>78588036

It's a dream. It's surreal and shit.
>>78588132
Ok so first it was "dream-like" now it's an actual dream. So whose dream is it then?
>>78588217
Morpheus.
OP, who was [Drone Pilot]?
>>78588302
>The whole DCEU is a dream.
>>78588217
It's a vision Wonder Woman tells Superman and Batman about.
>>78588377
Literally who.
>>78588421
Dan Amboyer, hes playin a Drone Pilot... some suspect hes gonna end up to bein Hal Jordan.
Did he have any significant role/cameo or was he just extra #47 ?
