I'm sort of the same.

While I didn't love it and left disappointed I would've much rather watched an extended version.

If part of your sales campaign is "the directors cut will be way better!" your movie fucking failed. You can like it, thats fine, but even WB knows it didnt meet standards

That's not the vote of confidence you think it is given that his contract is such that he'd get paid regardless and they "rehired" him before the thing was even out.

They were literally scheduled to start filming Justice League Part 1 ten days after BvS premiered. If they fired him they would have to delay production of the movie, which would set off a panic and tank their stock. They literally had no choice but to keep him.

His leash is extremely short now. Johns was brought on to reign him in.

I heard the shitty initial reviews for the film, then heard that they were going to release an R rated extended cut... So I held off on seeing it in theaters.

Looking forward to this release.

Yes. You simultaneously can recognize something great like Spider-man 2, but like something as genuinely horrible as BvS.

I wasn't overly enthused by BvS as a whole, but I am curious to see how much of a difference the extended cut makes.
>>
>>83591154
A stupid animated movie just hit 1 billion as Captain America Civil War made more money than any of the Nolan Bat movies. There will probably be some extra curiosity sales for this if they don't do something stupid (which is doubtful) the way Fox did in releasing fifteen different versions + the Rogue Cut, as separate products. So, no way it will be the highest selling Bluray of all time. It won't even be the highest selling Bluray of this year.

Also, critics don't really review Blurays. There will be a few sites that critique the extras and so forth and call them reviews, but the Meta Critic and RTs scores won't change and neither will the published reviews.

Will it help JL Part 1? I don't really think so, the trailer looks like a few quiet moments that explain the convoluted what happened with Lois part of the plot from the beginning but it sounds like it's just extra violence and punching. The people that like that already liked the theatrical cut so no, it won't really improve anything.

A good director's cut can elevate an already strong movie, or salvage a troubled one (like how the director's cut changed 2003 Daredevil from 'an abomination before God and man' to 'still kind of shitty, but watchable'), but it's pretty rare for one to fundamentally change a film and fix all of its problems. And frankly, when one of your movie's problems is that it's too dour and packed full of too much shit, an R-rated cut with even more shit wedged in is probably not the correct solution
>>
>>83594937
Pleb detected.
>>
>>83594937
Once Upon a Time in America and Kingdom of Heaven are the only ones that spring to mind where the director's cut straight up fixed the movie. If you think Snyder is on the same level as those directors, though, you'll probably be disappointed when the blu-ray hits.
>>
>>83594937

I feel bad for him, he seems like he really just wanted to make a good movie and be a good Batman.

I think I'd honestly like a behind the scenes tell-all of this film's development. Something like the Disaster Artist, a book where someone involved in the production goes into the various whys and hows of what led to this film being made the way it was.

I'm not really sure why they cut what they did, but I have a feeling it was just a lot of stupid executive decisions instead of actual creative ones that led to Superman's more sympathetic scenes being left on the cutting room floor.

No, the toilette is already clogged, trowing more shit in it won't help.

Be brave and soft reboot it, get the characters and what makes them great right, make a proper ideology conflict that doesn't end because of a comic trivia, make a proper Superman burial scene, with the league transporting the coffin.

DC cinematic is so damaged that their hopes linger on freaking Suicide Squad doing well. Can you imagine this? Go back to 10 years ago and say "Batman and Superman movie didn't do it as well, but the suicide squad looks very promising fingers crossed!"

And there are people demanding more of this shit, are fans of this cinematic language and unrelated comic references. Fuck this is depressing.

I understand Superman's job is to protect people's lives, not save someone money by preventing property damage, but what the fuck were they thinking with this shot?

I ultimately enjoyed the movie, but despite fearing it was going to be too much of a reaction against MoS haters, instead 75% of the movie feels like they were almost intentionally handing more ammunition to them.
>>
>>83604602
Well he took an explosion to the face at the gas station earlier and it staggered him. If he took it head on then Zod would kill him while he's stunned. Plus it was just a parking garage, not like there was anyone in danger.
>>
>>83604602
>I understand Superman's job is to protect people's lives
yeah bruh, there was no one in the parking garage. supes didn't give a fuck about collateral damage, human or property, during that entire movie. in fact, he often made shit worse, like when he took the fight into smallville.
>>
>>83604602
I think these were the actions of a Superman who still didn't quite know what he was capable of, and was forced to confront Zod without any real planning. I hate to use the "first day on the job" argument, but it makes sense.

Besides, it was just a parking garage. There are more wanton acts of destruction on his part in plenty of actual comics and cartoons, like when he punches bad guys into/through buildings that are most likely not empty at all. I find it's one of those things that Superman did frequently, but people only took issue with it once they saw it in live action, because it forces you to realize just how destructive it actually is.
>>
>>83592075
Although I dont have any problem with BvS, I dont think Johns will have much say in the movies. Snyder ignored Nolan and every other exec who read the script and found out Superman kills in the end of MoS.

If Snyder can show his middle finger to the people who are funding his movie, why would he even consider listening to some guy who tweets about cereals.
>>
>>83600628
Not him, but for me, memes(le piss jar, MUH MARTHA) aside.

-Lois was kind of a nonfactor throughout the whole movie. She has this "bullet" subplot that the movie keeps cutting away to that never amounts to jack shit. Only two things she really does is get kidnapped at the start and the end of the movie, not to mention the whole "goes back to get a spear she has no reason to think they need again" thing.

-Some of the fights, the Doomsday one in particular, there's so many CGI special effects and shaky camera stuff going on that it actually got really difficult to see what the fuck was actually going on, and me and the people I saw the movie with couldn't really follow the final fight very well because of it.

-Minor point, but I really disliked where the scene of Luthor getting access to the ship and Zod's corpse was in the movie, since it's just some one random no-name senator who can somehow give him unlimited, unsupervised access to both while asking for nothing in return. I feel this would have been better if moved to AFTER the Senate bombing, where he could pin the blame on Superman for it happening and using that to urge the government to authorize his "Superman countermeasures"

My biggest problems with the movie personally.

Zod is stronger and a better fighter than Superman was. He had sworn to kill every person on the planet unless Superman killed him. There is literally nobody else capable of holding, detaining, or even touching Zod besides Superman, and Zod is STRONGER than him and getting stronger by the minute.

Any ending that conveniently results in Superman defeating him without having to take responsibility of killing him is a deus ex machina. And also incredibly shallow and forgettable. As it stands, the entire explanation of just somehow conveniently warping the Black Zero back to the Phantom Zone was a little contrived, but I'll let it slide.

>>83605571
It kind of was, although I feel like the themes would have been better integrated if Superman had been allowed an actual sequel instead of the executive meddling that led to BvS. And that only happened because of all the backlash from bitchy fans. I'm afraid to see what's happening to Justice League.

Not if it was set up properly beforehand. If Pa Kent had allowed Clark to see what he was capable of in secret, then Clark would have had a greater grasping of his true potential. Using that as an advantage, he may have been able to defeat Zod without killing him.

This. The fact of that matter is that Marvel shills and "general audiences" are just too stupid to understand the philosophical depth and subtle nuance of Zack Snyder's brilliant Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. 20 years from now, it'll be looked back on as the apex of cape movies the likes of which nothing ever came close to before and never will come close to after. The sheer amount of craft and symbolism in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is akin to the highest forms of art. Its only flaw is being too deep for all the mindless children who have been rendered brain dead by the MCU's onslaught of quips and memes literally making a generation of movie viewers too stupid to understand and appreciate genuine artistry and intellectual masterwork.

Truly, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is the total realization and abject manifestation of capekino.

No, idiot. People hate on BvS because the characters have no discernable motivations. They're boring, especially and regretfully Superman. There was too much going on and no good character moments. It was a cluster fuck of a movie trying to get as much plot in as possible. Putting plot before character is a failure in western storytelling.

You do not understand the character of superman. It doesn't matter if him killing Zod made sense in the movie. It shouldn't have been written in that he needed to kill him. It's Superman, the name tells us he should be able to do the impossible and be Nietsche's moral Uber man by doing the right thing. That's the point of the character.

You need to watch the movie again. It was beautiful how each of the three important characters were motivated by their parents: Batman through his parents' death, Superman through his parents' hopes and dreams, and Lex through his father's abuse. It's a little subtle, so I can see how many might miss it. Just pay a bit more attention next time.
>>
>>83610346
A little subtle? That's the most thin explanation for characters whose actions should feel heavy and full of meaning. It's bad writing. Luther wanting to kill batman and Superman because his dad beat him is beyond silly. Snyder makes it extra silly by tryingoto turn it in a God complex. Silly, dumb and unrelatable. Superman should be hopeful and kind. Batman should not kill. Luther should represent cynicism in contrast to Superman's idealism.
>>
>>83610479
>Superman should be hopeful and kind. Batman should not kill.
Superman IS hopeful and kind. Luthor nearly took that away from him because he's a villain. If you were a fan of Batman and Superman, then having Batman remain unchanged despite having no friendship with Superman belittles the impact Superman has on him. Do you honestly believe that Batman could have gone through so many tragedies in the comics without breaking if it weren't for Superman's friendship?

I just don't understand how people can say that Bruce's motivation for becoming Batman is okay, but Luthor's motivation isn't. Can anyone explain that to me? Maybe there should have been a scene, perhaps at the gala when Lex is telling his speech, of him being brutally beaten and abused by his father in order to make that point clear.

There's three things really sad about that fight scene animation.

1. They are moving at normal human speed. By that,I mean,it looks like just two guys throwing regular punches.Watch the punches thrown in conjunction to the background car falling and the people running.The background characters should either be going slower ,more punches should have been thrown in the allotted time frame,or an even bigger impact should have been shown for the punches to show these two SUPER BEINGS FROM A DIFFERENT PLANET HAVING SUPER POWERS.

2.)And why oh why, does he not open his mouth after getting throat chopped?Where you afraid of copying Matrix? NO! That's what actually happens when you get your shit chopped,your mouth involuntarily opens due to reflex.Don't believe me?Try it. Karate chop yourself or someone else in the throat and see if their mouth opens. His hair doesn't even move either! Is he moussin' it?

3.: WOOOO! Did he use, what I think he used? Chinese cartoons sonic boom hits? YOU DIDN'T EVEN USE THEM RIGHT! Those are, when used correctly, weight being given to otherwise listless punches in animation. How you may ask? Well, for starters, when people are shown wearing loose clothing, the fabric goes into where the punch is landed and spreads out from behind. His cape can at the very least move back slightly from that punch to his gut. But Superman doesn't wear loose clothing here. So, when tight clothing is worn, it tends to tear. Granted, it's armor, of sorts, that doesn't excuse it either from being able to show weight behind punches. Just look at the very end sequence of MOS after he snaps Zod's neck. He's not even DIRTY! NOT A SCRATCH ON HIM! HIS HAIR IS LITERALLY STILL PERFECT! HE'S NOT EVEN SWEATING! COME ON! If you showed someone that scene, without context, they would call you a liar if you told them superman just fought someone. Fuck this movie, fuck Zack Synder, and fuck you piece of shit eating mongoloids who defend this garbage.

Snyder doesn't understand how to use bathos correctly and the movie fails to resonate emotionally because of it.

This movie is perfect. It has no flaws whatsoever. Its layers of meaning fold into each other like a holographic hexaflexagon. I only made up lies that it had flaws because Disney paid me to sell my soul with mkultra pop stars and trucks of money. I'm so, so, sorry.

>>
>>83614405
1: They aren't fighting at super-speed, just using strength. Clark isn't fully trained with his powers and Zod just got them.
2: Because he's Superman. He isn't hurt at all; he doesn't even bleed, hence the "do you bleed" comment by Batman. He barely even grunted in that scene, in fact, he was more likely to grunt when DELIVERING the blows rather than taking them.
3: See above. Also the way the effects were used was fine. It showed how powerful their blows were.
>>
>>83591236
Just because a trailer is good doesn't mean that it will be good. Case and point, BvS.
>>
>>83615152
They were fighting at superspeed, hence the sonic booms, the buildings being destroyed instantaneously, and GOING INTO SPACE IN MERE MOMENTS!

2. Wow. And he's Zod, what's your point? They are two equal beings. A cut, a bruise, a torn sleeve, a bloody noise, hell, a swollen lip, any of these would have suffice to some that they were in fact "fighting to the death". None of that. And how would Batman even KNOW if Superman had bled during the fight? He only saw him on ground level.

3. No, they were not.
>>
>>83615695
don't bother arguing with these morons. if they had reasoning abilities, they wouldn't defend bvs.
>>
>>83615695
Travel speed isn't the same as fight speed. Destroying a building instantaneously is a result of power, not speed. Zod wasn't very hurt either. And no, they aren't equal beings because Clark has absorbed yellow sunlight radiation for a longer time than Zod, hence his ability to break Zod's neck despite being unable to deal any damage to him. They have tons of durability, far more than the amount of strength their attacks can deal. Just because you're not used to it doesn't mean it's bad. Batman asked the question to bring home the point that no one knows the extent to Superman's durability, but even despite this fact he will use the kryptonite to bring him down to human level. Finally, the special effects did their job so they ARE good. Do you nitpick as much as this for other movies?
>>
>>83616033
Yes, travel speed = fight speed, because that's how fast you can move. No, it was speed. What you're arguing is pushing someone very slowly through a wall. At the very least, it's a combination of both. Look at the Africa scene. Are you going to argue that superman just forcefully pushed him through the walls? Then how did he prevent the bullet from going through Lois Lane's skull? I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with "duper deed". Right, let's go back to that first thing you said about Zod. If he wasn't able to absorb the sunlight as long as Superman, as you so claim, then how was he able to fight, at all, ever, on equal footing with him in the first place? It would suffice to say that Zod would and should have been put down much faster than he was or not give superman that much of a struggle. So he knew the kryptonite would work... because? He did he know it wouldn't make him stronger? Yeah, keep saying that to yourself. I'm sure it'll turn out true in the end. Only the movies that I know should have been better.
>>
>>83616839
>Yes, travel speed = fight speed
You're actually retarded. If I can run at 5000 miles per hour, it doesn't mean I can punch at 5000 miles per hour. Try thinking for just a second, and you'll understand. Of course it might be too difficult for you, and that's why you criticize these movies.

>he wasn't able to absorb the sunlight as long as Superman, as you so claim, then how was he able to fight, at all, ever, on equal footing with him in the first place?
Superior fighting ability. He was born and trained to be a military man, so he was able to overcome the slight advantage Clark had for a limited period of time.

>So he knew the kryptonite would work... because?
Detective work. Why would he be searching for it if he didn't know its capabilities? He got the information for what kryptonite is able to do BEFORE going after it.

Look, if you lie then you will certainly lose. The only way to win is to seek truth. Sure, it may be easier to lie, but look deep inside yourself. Is this the sort of victory you want? Winning against the uninformed? Eventually you'll face someone who is informed, who you cannot fool. Then what? Choose life, son.

Then you can kick at 5000 miles per hour. Either way, it will hurt.

Okay, so that "slight advantage" forced Superman to snap his neck, becoming mad of murder, Murderman? Then if his advantage was so slight, why didn't he bolt Zod into the sun? Drown him in the ocean? Kick him?

LOL "DETECTIVE WORK"? Oh my goodness child, thank you, I haven't laughed like that since I was a little girl. So let me get this straight. I'm somehow supposed to believe Murderman 2: Gotham Boogaloo was somehow able to find out that kryptonite was able to hurt Murderman 1, The Original Murderman, but not find out that he's been an alien raised by human parents, even though, EVEN THOUGH, an investigate journalist AND THE EXACT SAME PERSON HE STOLE SAID KRYPTONITE FROM was able to do so by talking to three people? And that's another thing, why was he interested in the Kryptonite in the first place? How did he even find out that Lexer was bringing it into the city? He knew it was something, but he didn't know what specifically it was from. He found out AFTER he stole it. Come on man. Don't give me that. Don't give me that.

Are you even listening to yourself? You've gone off the deep end. "Why doesn't Superman push the guy powered by the sun INTO the source of his power?" Come on. Your rage has blinded you. Zod's superior fighting ability allows him to overpower a slightly stronger opponent. Have you never seen that before in your life? Go outside once in a while.

>detective work
You were too stupid to understand the movie. That's why you didn't like it. I gave you the chance to choose the path of truth, but you threw it away. He knew, from the rumors about the White Portuguese, that there was a mineral that could hurt Superman extracted from the Indian Ocean. Could you at least watch the movie before criticizing it?

>How did he even find out that Lexer was bringing it into the city? He knew it was something, but he didn't know what specifically it was from.
The Russian's phone led him to Luthor. Luthor led him to find out that the White Portuguese was a ship. He tracked where the ship was going and tried to take the cargo. He knew it was a mineral that could hurt Superman.

Regarding Lois:
Lois had advantages over Batman in Man of Steel. The Superman persona did not exist yet: he had to use pseudonyms. The biggest advantage, by far, is that she interacted with him when they found the Kryptonian spaceship. She was able to see his face up close, and thus able to seek out his features. Finally, she knew many people who had worked with him and was able to back-track through them and the “urban legends.” Using these clues, she was able to trace him back to Clark Kent. Batman, on the other hand, had various disadvantages. The Superman identity was already well-established, there was no reason for him to believe that Superman had a secret identity, and any attempt to track him by satellite would be foiled, as the military had already tried that in Man of Steel.

I'm done with your games. Stay down.

The only thing that shows their hitting each other hard is the screen wobbling and the anime sonic boom effects.

Other than that, neither Superman, Zod, or the environment around them seems to be reacting at all like they were hitting each other with super strength.

See JLU's Superman/Captain Marvel fight, where there's shattering windows and other collateral damage around them just from how hard their hitting each other.
