It makes my fic loving heart leap like gazelle.

You should see the pics Kappa posted on the last page then. The tension between them in bed is real.

EDIT: Scratch that, make that page 30 now that I just started a new one.

BVS is not a person. Legs, is an industry term, look it up. Fatty is in reference to just how much was stuffed into it, like rolling a fatty...

Get over yourself, please.

Still, you could have been more considerate with your description of the film's reception.

It's not that hard.

Or you're pointing out every little thing considered immoral. Dude, come on this isn't ballet, it's a movie that once more is going to divide audiences, maybe less than Man of Steel though. If you're going to get worked up by a simple comment on a movie someone has issues with, then move on from it; It's not that hard.

Looking into seeing the movie soon just for fun. Does anyone have pictures though of Flash's costume? I heard rumors of him making a cameo, but am curious.

Edit: Or.... take the route of AB... Seriously dude, even if I don't understand someone's point (even if rather strange), must you be this big a jacka@@?

It's not his job to educate you on terms and phrases.

Google is your friend.

Be nice to movies everyone

[TigerClaw]

rumor has it that Atlantis will be the main antagonist in the Justice League movie, take this with a grain of salt, given where this rumor is coming from.

Maybe that was the plan... at this point, I think they're scrambling to find a new director.

I wonder how much they've offered Nolan to return.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

So does that mean Aquaman and Namor traded universes? Next thing you know, the Atlantean king will be trying to make a play for Lois and holding cruise ships hostage to force the land-folk to stop poluting....

[Sumac]

Next few weeks will be very interesting, when it comes to news about DCCU.
Or so I hope.

I'm sure there will be plenty of news, they are supposed to shoot Justice League: Part 1 this month.

I know. What is this world coming to? Poor BvS.

[plastroncafe]

We have lost longstanding members of the board due to people badmouthing this movie...

[Bry]

These movies have torn this community apart.

Y'know, kind of like this:





(But seriously, while I may not agree with Leo about these movies, like, at all, I did kind of enjoy the debate while it was civil-ish. Now that the movie's out and is gonna perform however it performs, and after all the metric tons of brown and grey rubble have been cleared, maybe he'll find his way back eventually?)

[CyberCubed]

Saw the movie. It was slightly above average. But some things struck me as odd:

- Did we need 3 different dream sequences? The one where Bruce is at his parents grave and imagines a Man-bat like creature attacking him, the scene in the middle-east with Batman killing, Parademons, Superman....and then the scene with Superman talking to his death father? I mean...what?

- Superman doesn't need a grimace on every time we see him. He needs to smile, to laugh. We really need a Superman who doesn't look like he's in great pain or sorrow all the time.

- Can't make my mind up on Lex Luthor. While this wasn't my ideal version of the character, the actor played him decently well so I'm conflicted.


Did enjoy Batman, Alfred, Lois, Wonder Woman, and so forth though. Batman being a violent killing machine does take a bit to get used to though.

The first time, I thought everything was fine, until it wasn't; I apologized thinking it was all my fault. The second time, well... F*ck that noise.

He's a good guy, I like him well enough. I'd love to hear what he thought, now that there's finally a mess ... film to talk about.

[shuriken]

I didn't particularly enjoy most of the movie. It's weird it felt like 4 movies in one, strewn together at the least minute. This could have easily been 2-4 movies without feeling rushed and or convoluted.
What's more are there are scenes that could have been left out completely to develop the characters more (MiddleEast Batman vs Injustice Superman? WHY)
With that said I enjoyed a good amount of the movie.
Pros

Spoiler:

-Wonder Woman was great
-Batman was good
-The scenes of Superman helping people.
-Action was intense
-Alfred
-Doomsday's Evolution
-Lois Lane and Clark Kent's relationship was actually shown
-Gave a good setup to the grudge Bruce has with Clark
-enjoyed the conflicted side of Superman
-The snippets of Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg we saw
-Superman as God comparison was interesting but...

Cons

Spoiler:

-It went on far too long and Snyder would not stop beating me over the head with it which I found patronizing, annoying and pretentious.
-A lot of the movie felt pretentious.
-Why would Batman just want to straight up kill Superman? I woulda enjoyed it if he just wanted to beat him and show him that he could, not straight up kill him.
-Sadness, content, contempt and rage. These are the only emotions allowed.
-Some smiling would have been nice. He doesn't have to be the Joker but Supes helps people because its the right thing to do and that's just who he is. Snyder's Superman looks like he's either conflicted or costipated everytime he shows up.
-Eisenberg's Lex was like the bastard child of Joker and Riddler. Like Joker lite.
-Pacing is all over the place, it felt like 4 movies strewn together.
-I hate this blue filter. It doesn't have to look like a cartoon, but have it look like your actors are alive.
-Everyone but Diana seemed like they would be unpleasant to be around.
-The whole bullet thing was stupid

Overall though I found it interesting and ambitious at best, pretentious and annoying at its worst.

[AT-Man]

It's a fu*king movie, do people seriously quit discussing altogether because of a movie? Is this thread that important?

[Krutch]

Edit: my bad

[CyberCubed]

I still don't get where they got the idea for Batman to brand his criminals with his batarang came from. That's just...way too wrong for Batman.
