Batman/Superman Dawn of Justice movie review thread

[CyberCubed]

The movie is nearly out so this is a review thread.

Rule #1: Talk about the movie

Rule #2: No bickering

Let us discuss history in the making! Batman and Superman meet for the first time in a movie (and I hear Wonder Woman is in this movie too), so let's get to it.

I for one welcome Cybercubed as our overlord

The rating on Rotten Tomatoes isn't up yet and there are two reviews on it, but both are negative and in Spanish however.

This movie is going to be much bigger than I thought, I guess it was logical but you kind of forget about the small facts that Batman and Superman are huge pop culture icons, it doesn't matter if they aren't as popular now. I've had tons of people who don't like superheroes talk about going to see this movie including my parents whose last superhero anything was probably taking me to see Batman&Robin when I was a kid. The Demographic for this movie will really be a general audience.

In other things I re-watched Man of Steel, I hadn't watched it since it came out on theaters. I remember liking it a lot but didn't have time to see it again and then never did and have spent all these other years hearing about how terrible it was. It definitely has flaws, I mean did we really need all that time spent in Krypton? Did Jor El really have to die right before the planet exploded anyway? And then losing Pa Kent as well, how many dads did they have to kill anyway? The Genetic code being on Superman is a bit weird as well and I'm not a fan of Lois here. But none of those are huge flaws, I can nitpick similar stuff from the Nolan trilogy and other superhero movies. I do think people have it out for Superman in general with the whole "he's boring". Which I disagree with but this movie could have used better pacing, that's a legitimate complain.

I got my ticket, i'm seeing it on Saturday. I still haven't seen Man of Steel yet, is it still worth watching.

I noticed that and I saw that there was a lot of positive reactions from a early screening.

i was so enamored with the Nolan Batman movies when i first saw them.
but being a huge Batman fanatic and watching the movies over and over they stared to feel very dry, and in many parts very dull.
i still enjoy them for what they are, but i'm really excited to see the BvS bring back the fantasy element into the DC film franchise!

yeah, you'll probably want to see Man of Steel before the sequel?

the end was a bit over the top, but it definitely was pretty cool!!!

Ok thanks, I will watch it on Friday as i'll be off work. I'll download it from ITunes.

Live broadcast of the European Premier of Batman v Superman.



Expect more reactions from the European premiere.

you're welcome!

it's definitely worth a watch, and the events of BvS seem to pick up right after the end of MoS.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Friday night showing with a couple of my mates; they're on their own for rewatching Man of Steel before, though... I need to finish the last two episodes of Daredevil and then do MoS.

Lotta damn fine CBM/CBTV this week.

[NinjaPug]

The review embargo from critics is up at 6 pm/est today. I'm really curious to see their reactions. It's tough to get too excited about reactions from fans at a premiere. That setting typically jazzes up the reaction.

[myconius]

i'm going to completely ignore any and all feedback from reviews till i see the movie for myself.

i don't want to have any preconceived notions of the film going in.

Never trust spanish reviews, especially anything that has "latino" in the website name.
