It was a perfunctory, styleless mess of a contractual obligation. Its plot is complete wank that tries to appear deep by seeming to be about an actual issue, when it's really just the excuse for the fights. Every character in the film acts like an asshole, even the ones you're supposed to like, hell especially them (looking at you Cap). Total crap.

The thing is, it's only the DC Friends doing this.

BvS was just objectively bad as a film. Editing, dialogue, etc. When people criticize it, they criticize that.

It's the DC Friends who try to paint any criticism as company wars: "sorry it wasn't a quipfest"; "people won't accept it because it's not Disney"; "Disney bribed everyone" etc.

>BvS was just objectively bad as a film.

Do you not understand movies or something?
>>
>>83900929
Yes, that's why I, like almost everyone, found the movie to be defective as a film in a number of areas.

The first hour after the prologue advances chronologically but has no sense of momentum. It's a series of interchangeable subplots that could have been rearranged. I was bored when I watched it.

Lex Luthor is a main character with a schisophrenic motivation, Superman is incredibly understated, has minimal dialog, and is a passive reactive protagonist.

This is the part where you criticize me for not scrutinizing every frame and line of dialog for its deeper meaning, or claim I'm just dumb or ignorant for not recognizing symbolism.

Later I'll reply and mention that i did get the symbolism and was unimpressed, but you won''t reply to that post.

>>
>>83901232
But cuts must remain coherent between one another, let's say you had a scene with Batman fucking up bad guys and cut to Lois Lane going to the Pentagon or some shit.
That's shit editing, because the scenes have no correlation between each other.
BvS has PLENTY of instances like that, and you trying to deny it shows your blind fonboyism going in full effect.

You the one talking like you don't understand what a cut is. "Oh the went from one scene in one place to another somewhere else but the characters never walked or drove there! Absurd!"

If that's incoherence then every movie is incoherent as fuck.

>>83901089
I am not >>83901071 but personally I found there to be a a weird kind of begrudging passivity in a lot of the characters that was necessary for the narrative to do what it wanted irrespective of them or what it claims their presentation to be.
Clark doesn't want to be treated like a god, but he makes no effort to get humanity to accept him as anything else. Bruce wants to defeat Superman, but won't make any effort to research his target independently of what the clearly unhinged maniac is feeding him. Lex wants to prove there's no such thing as gods and aliens suck, but he goes and makes the biggest baddest one yet. Additionally he's a supposedly master manipulator that can't even bribe politicians to get what he wants or cover his tracks well enough to stay out of jail.

Establishing shots. They signal a change in location, time, or perspective, and reset the context the audience is given.

Now's the part where you say BUT SNYDER DID THAT or ESTABLISHING SHOTS ARE A MEME or I UNDERSTOOD IT FINE EVERYONE ELSE IS STUPID
>>
>>83901483
It's what leads Lois to Lex. It's more important in the ultimate cut. Also the whole "Why would they frame Supes with bullets" thing is explained. KGBeast burned up the bodies with that flamethrower of his, to make it look like heat vision.
>>
>>83901503
Oh. You're just parroting RLM. Makes sense now.

Right. Establishing shots are a meme propagated by Red Letter Media.
>>
>>83901485
>>Extended Nairomi scene that makes sense now.

But it simply can't.

Sure that was supposed to be Lex framing Supes, but it still makes zero sense that he would arm his mercenaries with experimental bullets manufactured only by him.

It's just shit writing.

>>Finch found out that's why she got blowed up.

Is there an extended scene showing Lex sneaking into the Senate chambers and hiding the piss jar in her desk?

>>83900658

>>
>>83901678
That's a loaded question.
No, there's no rule that must *always* be followed in film, but there are fundamental things that, when you fail to use them or to use them properly, will torpedo a narrative almost instantly. (The Last Airbender is a great example of this. There's nothing WRONG with extreme close ups, but Shyamalan didn't realize that you can't ALWAYS use them. There's a time and place for them.)

Given the sheer number of concurrent plots in BvS, the lack of establishing is a detriment. There cast is too big and there are too many competing plot lines to switch from one to another without contextualizing them and giving the audience that second to breathe before switching gears.

And the thing is, you don't need a film degree to sense something is off when fundamentals like this are disregarded. You won't know why specifically something feels off, but you will notice it. People were confused by BvS's jumping from point to point. That's not because they're stupid. It's because the movie lacks the clarity that narrative resets by way of establishing shots provide. It fails on a fundamental guideline.

You might try to argue that the lack of those narrative resets is intentional to enhance the "dreamlike: quality of the movie, except that it's done with such a heavy hand and so often that it lacks any nuance. For example, jumping from the Knightmare to the Flash warning? That works. (Kind of anyway) Jumping from Bruce to Lois? That's a bad cut. That's the kind of thing that needs a proper scene cap and reset.

But now's the part where you go on about how smart you are and the entire rest of the audience is retarded.

I'm not the guy you're replying to and I haven't watched the new scenes so can you tell me why DOES Lex use bullets that can be easily traced to him?

DCAU Lex did sensible things all the time. If Snyder had copied that it would have been fine.

And that Lex used far fewer piss jars.
>>
>>83902056
Cite some specific examples.
Because while I can think of times Lex has complicated plots, those are usually so that he can have deniability. Which is something this Lex obviously lacks, as he ends up in prison.

That's what bugs me the most. If Eisenlex is as smart as you guys are claiming, how come he got caught?
>>
>>83902137
>Lex never gets caught
He always gets caught.

He's ended up in prison hundreds of times since the fucking silver age
>>
>>83902137
>If Eisenlex is as smart as you guys are claiming, how come he got caught?

Because Eisenlex is literally "What if the posters at /r9k/ had billions of dollars?"

Onlu autists mistake autism for intelligence.
>>
>>83902168
>He's ended up in prison hundreds of times since the fucking silver age
So it should be easy for you to find an example. Yet you haven't
Lex uses plausible deniability. That's why he can effectively run for president and people love him. It's what makes him a good foil for Superman; the bastion of Truth and Justice with a near perfect approval rating can't convince anyone that Lex is a bad guy.
>>
>>83902228
>and people love him
No one loves Lex.
At least not after the first couple of his "Metropolis destroying plans to kill Superman"
>>
It is goddamn obscene that Max Landis wrote a better Superman story than we're getting in the movies.
>>
>>83902257
Then why did he win the presidency?
Heck, let's go with something more recent.
Literally four days ago he was able to do >>83901235 and people in universe were going FUCK YEAH LEX IS A HERO.

Oh but let me guess, this week doesn't count as a modern Lex. It's a meme, right? Because everything you dislike is a meme.

Does it explain why Lex let an invulnerable super monster loose to destroy his own city with no way of stopping it?

What exactly was the plan here if Doomsday had killed Superman? Lex had no way of controlling or stopping Doomsday. If the Justice League was his backup plan, that hadn't moved beyond the "get some video and photographs of them" stage.
>>
>>83902297
>Then why did he win the presidency?

Why is Trump a frontrunner?
Lex is charismatic.
That's literally the ONLY thing that seperates EisenLex with comic Lex in the long run.
Both have had horrible plans and have ended up in prison.

Comic Lex just has more charisma.
They're both the same pathetic piece of shit on the inside. Which is why I liked this Lex.

He's even admitted that his actions for being a hero are completely egotistical.

>>
>>83902392
He is though.
He just lacks one aspect.

The least important aspect.

>On Saturday, at about 2 p.m., a woman went into a Kroger store in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, to pick up a custom-made "Batman v Superman" birthday cake she had ordered for her 7-year-old. When she arrived at the bakery section and inspected the cake, she told the bakery employees she wasn't satisfied with how it turned out.

>She reportedly went behind the counter and attempted to fix the cake herself, even though employees told her she wasn't allowed back there. This angered the customer and she brought the cake to the front of the counter and drop kicked it, sending cake debris across the whole bakery section.

Why does Superman care about Batman branding and manslaughtering criminals when he's melting terrorist's faces off.
