Early reactions (like those on Twitter) are almost always universally positive. BayTurtles had a pretty hugely positive reaction to early screenings on Twitter, and... well, that didn't exactly hold. People who see early screenings are especially excited, and often more emotionally invested in liking it than they would be otherwise. You get a better idea of the consensus in the weeks after it opens.

I hadn't really considered that, but however bad it is it most likely isn't as Bad as B&R..

That's not a yardstick any film should have to resort to.

Looks like I spoke too soon!
Why would you put two people with bitchy resting face together in one movie?
The contempt in that film must be off the charts!

When you try to sacrifice yourself by taking a Nuke to the face sacrificing urself for the greater good and then pretty much raise yourself from death's door via healing urself. That sounds and looks a lot like Jesus.

He was definitely a tool as well though.

Lol, exactly. I think we're the only ones who read those comics.

You kinda of did by labeling everyone fanboys and insulting their ability of being objective...... It was pretty obvious........ I am justing asking everyone be careful of what they post and be civil we don't want or need a repeat of the "TMNT Movie" section again. That is all.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie get bad "early reactions", they're usually good no matter what movie. When a movie has a mixed opinion you can go in knowing that you may enjoy it but when its overwhelmingly negative its for a reason, I guess I'll find out soon enough. I do think this movie had very high expectations from the general audience so I believe that's what's giving so many bad reviews but I don't know.I still don't 'think the movie is that bad it may just have all these flaws that people are blowing up. I'm watching the movie tonight, so I'll definitely post my spoiler free thoughts on it.

It's fairly horrifying. As timid and reactionary WB are... I could easily see them pulling the plug on everything short of Wonder Woman (which is already filming) and sitting on all of the DC comic book IPs for another decade before trying this all again. And even if BvS isn't Shakespeare, I still want to see the Justice League unite on the big screen before I die (and maybe a punchout match with Darkseid), and a proper GL movie.

Transformers 4 was a bad film but still made over $1 billion worldwide. So I think it could be similar with Batman vs Superman too.

By the Amaranthus hope you, your family and friends are OK after what happened in Belgium yesterday.

[CyberCubed]

I wonder if this will affect the Batman solo movie coming out.

Man, the neogaf thread on the movie has people having meltdowns:

You made my heart grow 3 sizes today.
I'm fine. Don't live close to Brussels and I never have to be there.
No idea about my friends. I lost contact with most of them after an incident in school.

WB allegedly held an emergency conference call overnight.

A hell of a lot better than the six inch version that comes with the piece of the Batman grapnel prop. I was going to purchase one until I noticed the sculpt on the face was so blocky.

Spoiler:

Too much of a "dude" face.

Zack Snyder, in his interview to the Wall Street Journal, answers to criticism about death toll of Superman actions in Man of Steel...by comparing it to death toll in The Force Awakens.

I went, really? And I said, well, what about [‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’]? In ‘Star Wars’ they destroy five planets with billions of people on them. That’s gotta be one of the highest death toll movies in history, the new ‘Star Wars’ movie, if you just do the math.

OK, so Superman in his vision is equal to the quasi-fascist empire?
That explains a lot.

I almost thought he was joking when he said that. It's such a stupid thing to say.

It's not like Finn tripped on a wire and accidentally started up the giant laser. It was the evil Empire destroying a planet. Is that what Snyder has to compare Superman to in order to justify his wanton destruction?

Snyder would have been better off comparing Superman's actions to a) someone who comparably has to do destruction to do good and b) a good movie, because TFA wasn't a good Star Wars film.

[NinjaPug]

Jesus...will Snyder ever stop trying to justify the choices he made in MoS? This latest round of justification is his worst yet.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Snyder's comments remind me of another director who also had poor excuses for his bad choices... hmm...
