So why did the critics hate it?
It wasn't because of the script. The Dark Knight trilogy had one of the most horrible scripts of all times and yet it is well regarded.
It wasn't because of some poor choreographed scenes because TDK trilogy and Marvel movies (with exception of Winter Soldier) had bad choreographies.
The acting and casting was fine with exception of WW, Ben was really good.

So what was it?

i think the difference is that the dark knight captured a zeitgeist of its time. it was a movie about the emotional feeling of the waning days of the bush presidency in america. american audiences were realizing the fatigue of a perpetual war on terror while a major economic depression was hitting the country, and the dark knight really captured the public's feelings of regret, anxiety, fear, vengefulness and desire to move on. It suggests that there's no easy answers to terrorism, corruption or hatred, but demonstrates that striving towards maintaining one's moral dignity is the better option even if it means death. Say what you want about the screenplay, but the film was a complex take on these very period-relevant themes.

In comparison, Batman v Superman is an esoteric philosophical treatise of an Objectivist analysis of Christianity. Not quite the same.

On a side note, it's funny to think of TDKR being a story about a populist uprising against the establishment. If they actually waited the 8 years Baleman spends in hiding, it would have come out this year where it would have been way more relevant. I wonder how TDKR would resonate if it was released against Civil War this year?

Oddly, DKR came was released a few weeks after the beginning of "Occupy Wall Street." Obviously the timeframe for the making of the film does match up with the beginning of the movement, but it is interesting that the movie explored such similar themes more or less by coincidence.

Is that way he's constantly helping people and feeling torn and guilty about the unwated consequences of his actions and the ensuing negative reactions?

The Batman that didn't murdered anyone directly and only can only be accused of manslaughter much like Christian Bale in the previous movies?

Come on, man.

Somebody didn't payed attention to the screen.

True.

Just the sequel-teasers that were bad.

There are lots of uplifting moments.

It was never going to be a big fight.

Not everyone and everybody start to like him after his sacrifice.

This. I love how people are saying superhero movies should be lighthearted when really the exact opposite is true.

The 'critics' are just lazy. They know everyone likes the marvel movies so they dick ride them. They also remember how they 'helped' return spiderman to marvel and how they destroyed fan 4 stick. Maybe subconsciously they think that they will be rewarded for their efforts?

I don't know. The backlash seems strange. Maybe they all hate Snyder for some reason? Maybe they've always hated capeshit and know there won't be any reprisals for hating a cinematic universe that only has 2 movies and isn't owned by the larger entertainment company in the world?

Did we even watch the same movie? What about his pain when the bomb happened? Or his sacrifice? Or when he talks to his mother? Or when he gets mad at the bat for being a vigilante? Or when he's scared shitless of them killing his mom?

Like the whole point was that even though he's human in feeling some people see him as an alien with the power to destruct everything. I mean the movie even has the fuckig martha scene where the bat REALISES this.

Perfect? The movie tackle precisely this. People place too much importance on their idealized version of Superman and then lash out when the man doesn't meet their expectations.

>>67839646
Ironically Snyder tapped in into the modern psyche too, and called out on it being cynical, instead of commending it like Nolan. Now look at the public's backlash.
>>
>>67838111
Because Snyder doesn't know how to manipulate emotion.

He wanted a dark brooding piece, so he made the whole tone dark and brooding throughout. All good surely? Well no.

See, in the same way a horror builds tension then releases it with a scare? Good movies do that with all emotions. The 'comic relief' serves a necessary thematic purpose, because without moments to break tension there's no relief, just a boring slog.

When crtics say this was 'joyless', this is the issue they are aluding to. Snyder builds grim dark moods but never relents, never gives a glimpse of joy to make the melancholy matter. In the end, you just get a test of patience and endurance.

>Gotham is beside Metropolis. Why wouldn't Superman have heard about Batman earlier?

Superman's came from Kansas and spent most of his life traveling the world. He has only lived in Metropolis for two years.
The scene where he meets Bruce Wayne he sees a commotion near his car and then ask who the guy was before even getting to really see that it was Bruce.

>Also why couldn't he have save Gotham since its across the pond?

Save from what?

>Why did Lois put the staff in the water? And how did she know to get it?

She knew that it was something that hurt her boyfriend. Then when she heard Doomsday's roar she feared that it could be kryptonian. You've to understand that in this world super-powers = aliens/kryptonians. That's Batman thought Wonder Woman knew Superman, because she displayed super-powers. He thought she was kryptonian.

>Why did Batman act like a wuss because someone else has a parent named Martha?

Batman's obsessed about his mother and when Superman said that name his autism kicked in. When Lois showed up and explained the situation he had a PTSD where he saw himself as the murderer of his own parents. All of this gave him a chance to redeem himself by saving a "Martha".
>>

It's not about martha you stupid fuck. Supes saying martha just made him stop because he didn't know what supes meant. When S explained he was talking bout his mom, batfleck realised that supes was just some dude with powers who cared for his mom and not an alien killing machine.

He made the EXACT SAME FILM HE HAS BEEN MAKING FOR YEARS. It's the same visuals, the same themes if martyrdom, the same overdramatic bullshit over and over and over again. Sucker Punch wasn't a safe film, but that doesn't mean it automatically has merit, because on the whole it fucking sucks and there is little commendable about it.

Snyder takes characters and themes and, rather than building an experience around them, forces them to conform to his unbelievably childish/troubled teen worldview. He does not have the emotional or intellectual maturity to execute what he's trying to accomplish on the screen, because all of it stinks of pathetic teenage nihilism.

Snyder has a visual style which masks a wealth of ineptitude and consistently puts out mediocre films with heavy themes that trick people into thinking they're seeing something weighty when they're not. It's broad strokes of black with a thick brush and a heavy hand, and it's exhausting.

>everything must be a homogenous mess
Yeah, it's awful having Superman being a symbol of hope. Should he struggle with it? Sure, but not be in constant boring despair.
Does Batman walk the line between psycho and hero? Sure. Is it cool to see him go full psycho, sure. Is it cool to see Supes a yin to his yan and draw him back? Fuck yes, but with something as contrived as MARTHA no.

You literally are blinded to what was already enduring about their dynamic in favour of newer is better and edgy teen angst is best.

If you actually bothered to read comics at all, you'd know that nearly since the Silver Age, back in the SIXTIES, Superman's characterization has been fairly consistent. He's a guy who was raised by wonderful parents who instilled a strong sense of right and wrong in him, and also gave him the impulse to help others. He does good for its own sake, he sees himself as more human than alien, and he has a very cheerful, sunny disposition. It has been this way for half a century.

And yes, I DO want to fucking see that Superman on the big screen. If Snyder wants to do something different, he can MAKE HIS OWN CHARACTER. His Superman isn't Superman, it's his own original thing stuffed into Superman's skin.
>>
>>67840938
Agreed, much better than expected with all of the mixed reviews.
>>
I've seen a lot of critics complaining about the trend in modern films of rebooting old for-all-ages movies as gritty and inappropriate.

They consider Batman v Superman the biggest and worse example of this trend. They genuinely thought that BvS should have been a lightheated and charming movie for all ages like the past Superman and - weirdly - Batman movies were. They include the Wonder Woman show in that too.

So really what we've here are just critics fighting a perceived trend in Hollywood.
>>
>>67840924
JB?
>>
>>67840740
It doesn't matter which is 'right', what matters is which is most consistant and satisfying. Snyder's interpretations while valid, don't satisfy some. They've seen what Snyder is trying to do, done better and with versions of the characters that resonate more.
It's not that Snyder's interpretations are invalid, they're just weak.

Batman wanted to hunt and kill Superman to validate his existence and mission. The "Martha" connection fucked him hard because he realized that he wasn't going the meaning that he so desperately wanted for his life, he was going to betray everything he stood for. Because in that context he was the man about to kill a young boy's mom. He was Joe Chill.

He does good for its own sake, he sees himself as more human than alien, and he has a very cheerful, sunny disposition. It has been this way for half a century.

That's exactly the guy in the movie. He has a sense of right and wrong, he does good for its own sake and he sees himself as the small boy from Kansas. He's just doesn't know how to deal with his own limitations and the expectation people place unto him.

You problem isn't with his personality, but rather with his situation. You want a Superman that can solve any problem and save everybody. This Superman can't. He can be everywhere at once, he can't be there always on time, he can't predict all the consequences of his actions and he can't always resolve the problem. He's not your idealized SUPERman. There are no absolutes here.

>not muh Superman
This is the problem with capeshit. It's fucking cancer. Do you honestly think there is only one right interpretation? There is none. Superman wasn't born a boyscout. "But..But muh Superman is the right one" It may be so but your interpretation may be the wrong one for another comicfag. The problem with capeshit is that it's not like a book where there is one version of a character or one writer on the wheel. Filmmakers have to try and choice one out of many Supermen and for every choice they will always be fucked because it will never be muh Superman. Capeshit is dead. Bury it.

Explain why Superman is on his high horse about Batman being a 'vigilante' even though he answers to no one, going so far as to smash a military satellite right in front of a general just to give him the finger. Explain why Lex wants to create a giant monster that will destroy the planet he lives on just to get Superman. Oh right, because he's craaaaazy! Explain why Batman instantly is best buds with Superman because their moms have the same name. Explain why Wonder Woman didn't come help during the incident in Man Of Steel even though she was happy to jump in during the Doomsday fiasco. Address those and I'll be back with about fifteen more.

Actually the whole movie was bad.

Name one. Superman helping people while looking depressed doesn't count. Neither does awkward humor.

It's the name of the fucking movie. It's what they're selling the film with. Don't make shitty excuses.

>Not everyone and everybody start to like him after his sacrifice.
It doesn't work either way. If everyone is unaffected by his death, they despise him, making his sacrifice meaningless. The other option is everyone basically saying "He's a dangerous alien who could kill us all he needs to be kept in check! Oh, he died? How sad. He's the hero we deserved."

The defense force for this shitty film is embarrassing.

But that's just where this adaptation fails. Superman actually is able to do all that. There's a reason everyone trusts him and idolizes him, it's because he really is as good and great as people think he is.

On that note, it's absolutely terrible that anyone would hate and fear him. That's not in the spirit of Superman at all. People love Superman. EVERYONE loves Superman. DC's superheroes are trusted solely because of Superman. The only people who hate Superman are villains.

He doesn't care about anyone other than himself and he wants to feel power over Superman.

>Explain why Batman instantly is best buds with Superman because their moms have the same name

He isn't. He felt the need to save Superman's mom.

>Explain why Wonder Woman didn't come help during the incident in Man Of Steel even though she was happy to jump in during the Doomsday fiasco.

She had abandoned Men's World and only through the movie's events that she felt compelled to finally after all these gives lend her strength once more.

Yes, it actually does, that's why I stressed that Superman's characterization has been consistent for so long in the comics. A lot of comic book characters don't have a consistent characterization, so there is no one valid interpretation of them, but Superman isn't one of those characters. Superman actually does have a fairly consistent character.

Why do you think so many people are convinced Snyder hates Superman? People know how Superman acts and Snyder's Superman doesn't act that way.

>Not bored, disturbed. He's disturbed by people's adulation and adoration.
You're projecting your own meaning onto the scenes in order to justify how bad they are.

>The Metropolis attack, Africa massacre, the capitol bombing, Did you watched the movie?
Yes, I did 'watched' the movie. He looked either confused, bored, or irritated in all those scenes. Henry Cavill is not he best actor and he was receiving basically no direction from Snyder about how to react to all this. We get no sense of who he is other than a Jesus metaphor. The one scene of him actually confiding in Lois consists of him whining about how no one likes him.

>Rubber bullets.
That was never mentioned in the film, don't make things up.

>He came back more brutal.
... What?

>He doesn't care about anyone other than himself and he wants to feel power over Superman.
That's retarded.

>He isn't. He felt the need to save Superman's mom.
Why? Why is this dangerous alien who could 'burn the place down' suddenly okay by Bats because he has a mom? Why in one scene is the entire motivation set up throughout the entire film thrown out the window? In what universe is this good filmmaking?

>She had abandoned Men's World and only through the movie's events that she felt compelled to finally after all these gives lend her strength once more.
That's retarded.

>The end.

The issues have to make sense, and yes, there does have to be a satisfying physical confrontation in a movie called Batman Versus Superman.

So is that the reason why in Geoff Johns' recent arc on Action Comics Superman failed in his plan to save Ulisses' dimension killing in the process trillions of alien life?

Because according to you Superman can't fail. His super all the time. But in recent comics he's constantly failing. Heck, months ago he had his secret identity revealed to the entire world and lost most of his powers. Are the comics wrong now?

I think this is what they were going for but they should have given us more than two seconds to feel the impact of that pivotal emotional moment before moving on to more punching and explosions.

No, he turned them into actual human beings.

Jonathan Kent care for his son and the huge socio-political and espiritual impact his existence could have in the world. He didn't had all the answers but wanted his son to understand the importance and responsibility he carried on his shoulders. For his son's safety and the safety of the world he opt to sacrifice his own life to give his son to make the right choice whenever he felt ready.

Martha Kent cares deeply for her son and suffers greatly to see her kid being hated and persecuted by the people despite only trying to do good.

For some reason that anon and you think that this is a travesty against the Superman character. That he should be able to do everything and hide his emotions with a grim on his face.

You guys want an idealized Superman. Superman in BvS can't be that. He's struggling against that very notion.

There was no evidence of that in the film. In fact, there are several very awkward shoehorned lines in which Batman mentions that the part of the city they're in is abandoned - no doubt a response to the criticism of the previous film that was similarly defended by autistic manchildren - so I can guarantee all anyone saw was a bunch of pink light flashes.

The whole "didn't understand it" meme is completely true. The complaints about plot holes are in every thread but almost every "plot hole" is explained multiple times in the movie.

Not idealized, strong.

I've read of Supermen who were just tools of the state, Supermen who became the state, SantaGod Supermen and Supermen ushering in Armageddon.

What they all had was a fall, an arc that showed how thy changed and twisted, as we watched in horror we cared.

Snyder wants the payoff with none of the build up, the fallen, Jaded Superman before we ever saw the shinging exemplar.

That's why his Superman, while just as valid as say Superman At Earth's End, is a weak attempt at best using the character. It's lazy, shallow, all fall no tall, all bang no build.

MoS/BvS Superman isn't jaded. His first outing was his big failure. Actually not saving his father was his defining failure. Throughout the whole movie he's struggling with his own physical limitations, the huge responsibilities and public opinion, and despite faltering a bit he still stood up and saved the day.

So i don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Here's an idea, start a thread asking what people thought Superman was thinking during those scenes. I guarantee you it will become a shitfest of people screaming at each other just like this thread is. Don't act like your interpretation somehow has more credibility than mine for no reason.

You know exactly what I'm talking about. Like everything else, this weak version of Superman is rushed. Snyder assumes we care, just because it's Superman. But he doesn't bother to build a troubled hero piece by piece, he builds an accident, an apology, a coincidence and a Death he did nothing to earn.

Snyder's Superman is a weak lazy interpretation, relying utterly on pre existing love. The gamble failed.

You know what actually funny?

People who actually read alot of graphic novels, not just the capeshit kind experienced the glorious 00s for graphic novel adaptations:

>Sin City
>V for Vendetta
>300
>Watchmen
>(arguably) The Dark Knight

Then what happens?

Robert Downey Jr makes capeshit movies go mainstream and suddenly a generation of normies think that all capeshit movies have to be one-liners and funny.

Im not gonna pretend like I didnt enjoy avengers 1+2, because I did. However, the MarvelEU basically created the illusion of how capeshit is for normies.

Then you get this generation of wannabe film critics who expect to see another pg13 version of RobertDowneyJr-man being so clever and get what a man who is essentially god does when encountered with 2 men who want him gone.

Its like people have forgotten 300 and Sin City and Watchmen (watch the DC), arguably the best comic book movies of all time.

>people are defending a movie with the most forced franchise building of all time

I'd really love to hear how you would defend that godawful labtop sequence.

also
Luthor is out of place
Luthor has no real motivation
The soundtrack was terrible (playing Wonderwoman's theme music during the climax instead of choosing something appropriate for the climax)
Terrible cinematography (funeral scene looked like it was from a Ford Commercial)

I disagree. I think he's a very interesting character and i was moved with his struggles. I even cried when he died and lots of other people did too in the cinema.

You cried because of a particular cadence and being faced with mortality.

You didn't cry for a character that's two shoddy films old, there's no way you could form an attachment so profound in such a short messy time.

>>67842970
The giant list of plot holes in BvS, many of which have already been mentioned in this thread at least once

1. Why did the people working at the Wayne building in Metropolis not try to evacuate during a full-scale destruction of the city by aliens until their boss said it was okay to evacuate?
2. Why does Superman feel he has the right to criticize Batman for being a vigilante when he himself is operating under no sort of jurisdiction and will literally smash a spy satellite right in front of a general of one of the most powerful countries in the world just to make a point?
3. Why - beyond generic lines about Gods and men and what not - does Lex Luthor want to kill Superman so badly that he is willing to create Doomsday and sacrifice his entire planet and himself just to accomplish this?
4. Why did Lex create Doomsday if he wanted Batman to kill Superman?
5. How did Luthor find the other JL members? How did he find Martha Kent? How did he discover that Clark Kent was Superman? How did he discover that Bruce Wayne was Batman? When?
6. Why did Batman no longer care that Superman is a dangerous alien capable of destroying the planet because their mothers have the same first name?
7. Why did Batman have a dream about things that haven't happened yet? He is a normal man without precognitive powers.
8. Why did Lois Lane throw the spear away for no reason? Didn't she realize they might need it?
9. Where was Wonder Woman during the entire Man Of Steel incident? Why did she not feel the potential destruction of the entire planet was worth her attention? What was she doing?
10. Why was Lex given access to both Zod's body and the alien ship?
11. How and why did Lex know how to do any of the things he did in the ship?

"It was explained in the comics" doesn't count. Neither does "It will be explained in future movies," because there's no way of proving or confirming that.

>Luthor is out of place
>Luthor has no real motivation

Luthor's the guy that place all the pieces and moves the plot.
His motivation was fucking spelled by the character several times. He projected his issues with his own father and God unto Superman. He believes that a person can be powerful and good at the same time and set out to prove this reasoning against Superman. He tried to complicate Superman and put everybody against him in order to make him crack. He also wanted to usurp Superman's power just like he did with his own father and company.

Just how many times will we argue about Lex's motivations?

I'm not saying it ruined the film, but it sort-of pokes a hole in all the goodwill defenders have giving this film.

Anyone pretending that Snyder was reaching for something "deeper" and more meaningful with all of the stranger choices in the film can't argue that the film had a HUGE corporate influence, that probably compromised most of the choices made in the making.

>>67843304
>Then what are you doing here?

I like all genres, and don't dislike wathing a shitty movie. Especially something that takes huge swings like BvS and misses

>>67843425

The guy created a war machine that destroyed the city and seemed to want to destroy civilization. Then he bragged to Batman about how there were powerful aliens on their way to attack earth
>>
>>67843395

>there's no way you could form an attachment so profound in such a short messy time.

I did. His journey of self-discovery and his guilt-ridden life made me very attached to the character. He's just a good kid trying to be good, but the world keep conspiring against him.

GET THIS: Lex doesn't care about others. When you finally understand that you'll understand the character.

>>67843500

>I'm arguing that the movie is shitty
Then you came to the wrong place.

Its like trying to convince a woman that romcoms are bad movies. Just because they arent Citizen Kane, doesnt mean they cant be good in their own genre.

>I was curious

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Let me get this straight, you actually went to see it despite not liking capeshit?

>>67843460

Not according to critics, which ironically are now 100 years later giving the same recipe bad reviews.
>>
>>67843527
Well, good for you I guess. It's real dedication to lie on the internet to win an argument.
Tell you what, I'll concede. This Superman is just slightly more valid than Superman At Earth's End. Well done.
