God damn this thread is long, the official movie threads shouldn't be the "rumors, news, filming" threads that get made 1-2 yrs in advance


Anyway, movie was a B-...i absolutely cannot get behind their makeshift Heath Ledger's Joker wanna be Lex Luthor. Lex ain't never been a psychotic autistic idiot, shyt ruined the movie. :camby:
"That's not Lex Luthor, that's his son" :troll:

I agree, I don't know what Snyder was thinking.

The 8-4 and fiery moats
So some of my other thoguhts:

- cgi looked like i was watching a video game
- who was the giant demon monster? Was he made up for the movie or is he from the comics?
- Amy Adams is too old and lacks the charisma needed to make Lois not annoying, terrible choice
- Wonder Woman...not digging their choice, she's weird looking (which I guess works since Wonder Woman is some Amazonian) and too skinny...I'd love my wonder woman to be built like serena williams, but Hollywood ain't going for that so oh well
- affleck was good as batman
- they need to give some dimension to superman, two movies in and outside of his action scenes, there's nothing interesting about him, he's not even selling his conflicted nature well
- the forced intro of JL :beli:, let's be real, most people don't know those other characters, but maybe launching their solos after JL will be successful
- i too take issue with batman shooting people and branding them - did I miss why he was branding them?
- i also didn't put together supes hate/mistrust of batman, they made batman's mistrust of supes clear, but not the other way around
- I have to say it again, Jessie Ledger and his Lex Joker was so fukking horrendous, that alone drops the movie a full grade
This is one of the main reasons why this movie is not doing well. Might be doing decent in revenue, but the mix reviews show how a lot liked the movie while others hated it. I see a lot of people complaining about these parts or things similar, but seeing complaints like these makes me feel like people aren't too familiar with DC outside of cartoons, tv shows, etc. And that's fine and definitely understandable. I enjoyed the movie, but DC has to realize a lot of people aren't gonna stick with the universe they're creating cuz they threw in too much in the film that could irk casuals. And this isn't a knock at you bruh, cuz you most of the points you made were valid.

CGI wasn't a problem to me. Especially compared to other comic book films :yeshrug:

Giant monster was Doomsday, who also killed Supes in the comics.

Only problem I got with Amy is she doesn't have dark hair lol. Other than that, no real issue to me. I can see why people aren't feeling the choice tho.

The Wonder Woman thing is gonna be argued to death. I had an issue with her being skinny at first, but I thought she played her role well. I can't really picture Hollywood using a bigger built woman anyway.

Superman was always a hard character to make interesting to me. Even in the comics I get bored with him. They do need this Superman to show a lil more emotion. Maybe brighten up his costume a bit. I feel now that the public sees him as a good thing

More people fukk with Flash and Aquaman than you think. Cyborg on the other hand...nope lol. Tho I feel his solo film will surprise a lot of people. Dude can be real relatable to casuals.

Batman was extreme, but he can be just as extreme in the comics. The branding was a bit much, but also showed how crazy dude is.
The Supes and Bats beef was one of my fav parts of the movie. Dudes clash like that in the comics and other forms of media too. Supes thought Bats was a psychopath in a costume. He wasn't far off from the truth really :heh:. They're so different but in a way they're not.
And Lex grew on me, but I still hate what they did to him :shaq2:

So they would get murdered in prison
That Bat prep :wow:

Nah, im not, it's just the corny culture of "let me be the first to make the thread" that permeates here. I think the season 6 GOT thread was made the same night season 5 wrapped up. :stopitslime:
Whats crazy is I wasn't the one who changed the title to be the movie discussion thread...I just created the thread back in the day to cover all the non-stop casting and storyline rumors plus the trailers that were coming out about it.:manny:
And 90% of this thread is dudes fighting anyway.:mjlol:
