This is interesting, this person tweeted the embargo is lifted at midnight PST even though we've seen a lot of reviews already.

Hmm, who could have possibly called that, that the embargo wouldn't be lifted from the majority of reviews until like 2 days before release?

who cares what she has to say she is that dumb critic who wanted a pg13 cut of deadpool for her 8 yr old and started blaming marvel/critics for the negative press on BVS.

Maybe they didn't want to make the same mistake as Fox did when they lifted the embargo early for X-Men.

*NinjaPug* · 06-01-2016, 02:47 PM

It's not even two days before release. It's 14 hours before the first showing. Not a surprise though.

Because they had a mediocre to bad movie to hide that will absolutely get bent over and taken on a very harsh ride by critics?

Yeah, they will have early showing tomorrow night, but I plan on seeing it Saturday.

They did this with Batman vs Superman and Star Wars too.

I haven't seen Batman vs Superman yet, but...there was a legitimate reason for the embargo on Star Wars. They were keeping it under REALLY tight wraps.

Not because it was bad.

Movies like BayTurtles 2 and Fant4stic and BayTurtles 1 are embargoed until release because they're very bad and the producers don't want to risk critics calling it bad impacting the box office in a negative way.

Hopefully it backfires on them this time.

I was being serious, the first film was by no means great, but this one is a lot worse, it's even less coherent and I didn't think that was possible.

*Vicky82* · 06-01-2016, 03:02 PM

What happens if a critic breaks the embargo, do they get sued or something.

I thought they just didn't get invited to future early press screenings or something?

If a critic breaks the embargo on BayTurtles 2, they'll be punished in the most severe manner possible: they're forced to watch it again.

If it was a good review, watching it again wouldn't be a problem for them

Did they really even need to have him in it at all then?

Also both movies had horrible use of villains.
Jesse Eisenberg was just not right as Lex Luthor. He would have made a better riddler.

The main villain in Civil War was very forgettable and random (Putting it kindly)

Also both movies did not stay very true to their source material and were simply shells of the source material. (Civil War arc) and (Dark Knight Returns)

So summary both movies share.
-Bloated StoryLines
-Bad Villians
-Character overload
-Bad adaptation of source material.
