I never really got the explanation of that plan. Are they in the Phantom zone or are they dead? Can she & Stabler theoretically pop back up at some point?

I read she is the phantom zone with the others from Krypton. I am sure there could be a way to write that they come back. Can do similar to what happened in Superman II, or have something in outer space hit the ship. Or Braniac can release them. There's many things they can do.

finally saw it. Did not enjoy it. Eisenberg was awful. Affleck was mediocre to me but I think that had more to do with the script to be honest. So tired of this EMO ass superman. It was way too long also. Action scenes were still good because that's why Snyder is good at.

The scores are 72 RT and 74 imdb. Still a C grade:umad:



Snyder didn't give him much to work with. There's multiple scenes where he doesn't even say a word. He barely spoke the first hour.

Look at this:

:dahell: He looks like he'd rather be somewhere else and not saving people. The lack of color doesn't help the mood either.

Maaan irrc Lois was all broken up about the innocent people that got killed in the deser,and Superman didn't give a damn,and was on some "lets have bathtub sex:shaq:",may have even said he didn't care,but I could be wrong about that part:patrice:?..That's my thing,i wouldn't even mind the emo superman if really got the feeling he was torn up and conflicted over the burden he got on em....I think you are partially right about him not being given much to work with,and I had that complaint with MOS when I had the same issues about Henry Caville....so some of it is definitely the dialogue he is given,but I gotta question are they limiting his dialogue because he doesn't have the chops to pull it off:jbhmm:

Even without the dialogue,there were oppurtunities for him to show us something,things a better actor I think would've just done naturally....even though a good director should probably step in and coach him through it when they see he looks empty,or they see his acting feels flat...its almost like they don't see it:dahell:

I don't think the director is blind,so this must really just be the depiction they want Caville to do:francis:...Maybe its apart of his growth,and maybe a true sequel would've given us a better chance to see it...maybe he's supposed to be a uncaring,uninterested Superman who doesn't really want the job,who grows into Superman who does...Its taking too damn long for me though:comeon:

His lack of emotion at the Capitol building exploding:laff:.


edit-fukk what I just said,Superman shouldn't have to "grow" into somebody who gives a damn,thats kindve either a you do or you don't personality trait:pachaha:

I wasn't much of a fan of Batman Begins at first. The more times I watch it the more I think thats the best "Batman" movie :jbhmm:

Although Batman 89 and Batman Returns will always be my favorites :to:

Batman Begins is the most batman movie out of that whole trilogy. Dude aint even use his batarangs in the sequels

‘Batman v Superman’ Embraced on Social Media Despite Reviews

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” may have been vivisected by critics, but fans on social media have shown a greater appreciation for the onscreen showdown between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel.

Fifty seven percent of the conversation on Twitter following the film’s debut has been positive, according to social media tracking service Fizziology. Less than 10 percent of the tweets about the film have been negative, with the rest falling under the neutral banner. Fizziology says that reaction is in line with the reception for blockbusters such as “Furious 7” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

That’s a big difference from how most major critics greeted the film. The New York Times’ A.O. Scottentitled his review “Batman v Superman…v Fun?,” New York Magazine’s David Edelstein branded it a “storytelling disgrace;” and the New Republic’s Tim Grierson called the picture a “joyless slog.” That added up to an anemic 29% “rotten” rating on critics aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

“I’ve never seen this kind of disconnect between critical reaction and fan reaction,” said Ben Carlson, founder of Fizziology. “A lot of the conversation was about how the reviews were wrong.”

The positive Twitter reception is also counterintuitive because “Batman v Superman” only received a mediocre B rating from CinemaScore. The tracking service is intended to measure audience sentiment, and in this case, the result signaled that fans enjoyed the movie far less than other Batman and Superman films such as “Man of Steel” and “The Dark Knight.” However, the CinemaScore improved with audiences under the age of 18 and under the age of 25, who handed the film an A- and a B+, a signal that younger, digitally engaged crowds like the film better.

Despite the bad reviews, “Batman v Superman” hasfound success at the box office, earning $209 million in its first week of domestic release. Beyond the reception, there was an enormous amount of social media activity surrounding the film that may have helped it weather the critical slings and arrows.

Throughout the year leading up its debut, “Batman v Superman” was tweeted, blogged, or shared about over 180 million times on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Google+ and Wikipedia, according to social media tracking service ListenFirst Media. Among 2015 and 2016 releases, that only trails “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (232 million) and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (273 million).

The conversation intensified from Thursday through Monday when audiences were actually beginning to get a look at the film. Conversation volume surrounding “Batman v Superman” hit 1.4 million, according to ListenFirst, trumping “Deadpool” (1 million), “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (981,231), “Furious 7” (973,582), and “Jurassic World” (610,579).

“There are certain times where the overwhelming excitement and engagement from the average person can carry a film at the box office,” said Jason Klein, co-CEO of ListenFirst.

Both ListenFirst and Fizziology provide data for most of the major Hollywood studios, including Warner Bros., the studio behind “Batman v Superman.”

Fizziology’s Carlson said that there were certain elements of the movie that fans seemed to embrace, in particular the introduction of Wonder Woman and Ben Affleck’s performance as Batman.

“From the very first teaser trailer, this has been a film that people have been hungry to talk about,” said Carlson. “The thing that’s interesting is that interest has built and built and built, and you don’t always see that.”
