I don't get what everyone was so pissy over. Dumb but cool. The Knightmare sequence with Batman reking shit and shooting mercs was by far the most entertaining take on Batman in film.

Too much like mainstream Hollywood trash, not enough like comicbook movies.

The further you get from the source material the more fans hate ut, regatdless of what it is, and being the 6th time a visual medium has used the same Dark Knight Returns action sequence doesn't count.

Maybe if you're just a /tv/ person its okay, but most DC fans fucking hated it and most other comic fans disliked it.

I actually saw it for the first time 2 hours ago and it's all over the place.They want to bring out more justice league characters while also following the controversy of 'a god among men'. Add in about 30 minutes of superman being moody and unsure of himself, people finger-pointing at him about shit that he couldn't stop, and him refusing to explain his situation at the time when he's got a girlfriend that's IN the fucking press. Batman's origin takes too much time once again. I don't really care about the whole murdering people thing, but it doesn't help much. Wonder woman is....there.

They wanted to do too many different storylines at the same damn time. It's retarded and far too long. If you want to make Superman: Doomsday into a movie, do it, but don't cram origin stories, dark knight returns, and JL tie ins with it. They should have just made Superman: Unchained

Autistic lex is not a bad characterization
>>
It was a good movie. Deconstruction done well, Lex was a great villain (but a poor interpretation of the character) and it just melded well together.

Not saying it was perfect, but it made sense where it mattered and was good overall. The third act is still sloppy, though.

I really dug that whole montage. It was very TDKR with all the news outlets discussing things on TV and the imagery was really cool.

>maybe he's not some devil or Jesus character. Maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing
>>
>>84151355
It's alright. Critics were a bit harsh on it in my opinion. Enjoyed it for what it was but that was only after the buffer of hearing about it. had I gone in with my hype-levels prior to release I probably would have been disappointed. Honestly it mainly just gets absolutely shat on here as a reaction to people spending over a year constantly trying to incite shit with the claim that it was going to blow any other capeshit out of the water and then furthered by people convincing themselves that it was a masterpiece and anyone who didn't like it was just too dumb to understand it.

>I want the moralfags to leave. That shit gets pushed down our throats almost constantly in every other form of media than BvS.
The main problem with Batman killing is that it brings up the question of how criminals like Joker and Harley are still around if he has no problem gunning people down. I assume it's because he's only gotten unhinged enough to start killing somewhat recently and his rogues haven't been too active in that time, but if that's the case then they didn't make it clear enough for a lot of people. You can't make a character who's specifically known for his "no kill" policy start killing people with little explanation and be surprised when people react negatively. That doesn't mean you can't do it, but just be aware of how the audience will react and make sure to win them over with the story.
>>
>>84154364
batman's whole arc was re-claiming his moral code.


And I'm not one of those 2deep4u fags, but there are a lot of people who just do not understand certain plot points and somehow think its the fault of the movie. I do think there is neat symbolism and intent behind that symbolism worth discussing (and if people didn't keep marking the symbolism as a negative, I'm sure people wouldn't be so adamant in defending it), but I don't think its needed to enjoy the movie.
>>
>>84152980
raging idiot literally BTFO

All the extra stuff makes sense and fits into the themes of the movie except for one thing. When Keefe goes to Senator Finch and describes the loss of his legs as this weird emasculation, using all this psychologically loaded language. What the fuck was that about? It's like this weird castration complex angle that isn't present in any other part of the movie. I guess you could say it fits with Bruce's feelings of "powerlessness"/impotence, but still I don't see why it needed to be included in the film.

>He made me half a man
>My wife walked out on me
>I can't even piss standing up

What the fuck? Unless we're supposed to assume his injury literally castrated him why describe it that way? Definitely intentional on the part of Snyder/Terrio.

Visually faithful... not to the right things, necessarily... spiritually hollow.

It's like, Snyder could have, in a different life, been a master art forger.

Like, he sits down, with an easel, and, a month later, there's this previously unseen Rembrandt coming out of some reclusive billionaire's private collection, and Zach Snyder is the one selling it "on their behalf".

And he walks away with a few million for his troubles.

Turbo shit, faithful to the source material means staying true to the characters, not just a paint by numbers shooting of comic panels to the big screen. If you don't keep the characters the same as how they are in the comics, you have failed as a director, no matter how "pretty" everything looks.

I'm glad somebody finally understand capeshit. It's nothing special but you can have fun watching it. It's on the same movie making level of a c list action flick. Kinofags need to stop under simplifying shit and Pureist fags need to stop demanding filmmakers to give a shit about comics because they don't care. Capeshit is the worst thing that has been made since it get's fanboys out of the woodwork and have stupid arguments. I do understand I speak for myself as well, but damn it we should be more sophisticated.
>That shit gets pushed down our throats almost constantly in every other form of media
This. Batman shouldn't kill but damn this moral code shit doesn't need to be brought up n every fucking Batman movie. Then again, Batman is a 1-D mary sue, so they have come up with some bullshit speech for him about killing so that way he can be to to edgy teenagers and is all "2deep4U"

I saw Gal Gadot at a signing, and I told her that seeing her in a film gave me the courage to confront my and my girlfriend's families about our relationship (girlfriend is jewish and I am Iranian). Gal told me that was great and hugged me and gave me a peck which accidentally(?) landed on the lips. My girlfriend saw and after the signing she told me we needed to take a break.

But the characters ARE the same. Just because they aren't focusing on the aspects you personally like, doesn't mean they aren't true to the character. Batman has had lots of elsewords and stories that deal with the aspect of him going overboard and what it takes to bring him back. There are lots of stories that explore how Superman makes Batman a better person. There are lots of stories about mad scientist Lex who just hates Superman's very existence and wants to prove to everyone that he is a fraud. There are plenty of stories about Superman struggling with how much power he is allowed to exercise, if he should interfere in political matters, and trying to find his place in a society that can't help but compare him to gods.

Read Byrne's run on Superman, and Byrne's lex. Read golden age superboy and lex stories. Read Dini's World's Greatest Heroes. Read Kingdom Come. Read the Earth One stories. Read Batman Year 100 and Year One. Read Lex Luthor, Man of Steel. Read comics you goddamn plebs.

That's exactly the problem with BvS. It takes itself WAY too seriously and tries to do so many things, but as the saying goes, the higher you aim, the worse the fall, or whatever. Because it literally falls flat on its face.

People are gonna cry "console wars" but the thing is, that's what Marvel Studios gets more so than Snyder and WB. Now those movies, those are just meant to be good fun for the most part. And they succeed because they know what they are.

Meanwhile, this is literally a movie that tries its damned hardest to NOT be very fun, in a movie with Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman in it. How is that even possible?
