Thought the movie was dope. Went to a 9:30AM showing to avoid crowds and the theater ended up being about 3/4 full anyway.

The first half is a drama, the second half is the action. Easily better than Man of Steel or The Dark Knight Rises and it's way better than the last few Marvel movies as well (discounting Deadpool because I haven't seen that yet). I hope the hit job the critics are doing on it don't deter people from seeing it. I need a full-fledged DC live-action universe.

If you want corny action comedies, watch Marvel movies. If you want something more serious and with a message, watch DC movies. Ironically, they're each doing the opposite when it comes to TV. Both styles have their place though.
Not better that The Dark Knight Rises.

Rises blows this out of the water right down to the action, that Nolan can't even do properly :mjlol:

Behind You
would you concede that BVS is mindless entertainment then?
No because it attempts to be more than just mindless entertainment. You can disagree with how successful it is in that endeavor but you can't act like the movie didn't try to be more than just mindless entertainment.

JUST CAME BACK FROM THE MOVIE :blessed:

My Review on the way

Major Praise: fukkING BATMAN !!!! :lawd:
Major complaint: CGI !!


- REVIEW -

Movie started off slow but it made sense why, explaining the aftermath of the metropolis attack and also the worlds take on Superman

the Bat lifting young bruce up was not needed tho lol, shyt was comedy status in the theatre. :mjlol: nikka twirling like he dancing on ice

Ben Affleck played BATMAN, how Batman is meant to be played, Bruce knowing HE IS Batman and that Bruce is his cover (not Nolans bull crap where the nikka aint even wanna be Batman cause some dumb bish died :scust: )

Visually, everything about Batman was AMAZING, his entrance into the Batcave was beautiful, hell the ocean view crib was too flawless, gave us the insight of what Billionaire Bruce was all about. :whoo:

I liked how Bruce was the Batman we loved, he showed signs of PREP TIME (training and plotting to fight Supes), Knew a number of languages (Russian), COULD ACTUALLY FIGHT

Jeremy Irons was a class act, thats a suave Alfred if there ever is one, shows that he's more than a Butler but a partner who can handle himself (once again :scust: @ Nolans Alfred)

Whoever says Superman was dull and emotional is most likely a Marvel stan who thinks being emotional is tears and cracking jokes 24/7 , the nikka was upset when talking to his mom cause the world wasnt sure about him, shyt when the damn Senate hearing went off you could see the disdain and grief on his face, he knew he fukked up somehow and he was tryna fathom all the dead people..

Eisenberg.. WOW, now i see where all the complaint comes from (seems more riddler than Lex), BUT PLEASE dont let that distract you from the plans and his execution of it all, THE AUDIENCE AT MY THEATRE loved him especially his jokes, shyt he was menacing, i could hear people chattering about how scary he is...

When he sent the piss jar and ol girl was SHOOK AS fukk :merchant:, the whole cinema was silent, shyt was tense

Now his theme song.. WOW, HIS DAMN THEME SONG, if that didnt make him more menacing then im sorry, you just a hater.. cause that theme song when he got off his helicopter.. WOW, i was literally clapping cause shyt was just WOW..

Its funny how he never personally called himself ''LEX'' tho but addressed people to him as Alexander, so it might be a play on him not being the typical Lex we know but a variation of the alternate Earth Alexander.

''crime wave in Gotham'', ''WATER IS WET'' :mjlol: fukkING DEAD LOL

There's no reason anyone should complain about the movie being too dark, we have a Bruce who has been fighting crime for 20 years and has SEEN IT ALL, Alfred alluded to that with the constant theme of ''Good men turning Bad'' i saw it as both a play on supes and Bats, especially Bats cause this is an already established DC universe, one can come to the conclusion that Bruce was never this dark, the loss of Todd most likely pushed him over the edge, which is why he didnt seem to care about the level of brutality he handed out anymore. :smugdraper:

With Supes, here we have a newbie superhero still coming to terms with his powers, and on his inception of being great has a hand to the loss of thousands of lives, he's still coming to the terms of what he caused/ could have prevented and also how the world doesnt seem to see him as a good guy. Of course he's not gonna be cheery, give the guy a break.

It was good to see an angry Supes tho, even I felt the terror. :whew:

NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE in the cinema was a fan of the romance between clark and lois :russell:, shyt nikkas was groaning when he sent the ring and when he stopped the fight with doomsday to save her, nikkas laughed all over when i shouted ''Let her die'' :lawd:

I think people shyt themselves in the first hallucination with the big ass Bat lol (i almost died yooooo)

I was the only one who got the Darkseid reference in the cinema smh (fukking noobs), evil supes = GOAT.. nikka fried the regime with no thought (Injustice ??)

Am i the only one who felt the Spaceship interaction with Lex was hinting at Braniac ?? the way the tentacles moved and the talk about the ship having knowledge of thousands of worlds, lol i mean.. BRAINIAC

Wonder woman was BEAUTIFUL.. i liked how they made her graceful and still showed she was a threat, she wasnt fighting doomsday to survive, bish was having fun :blessed: they made her a princess and a warrior and it worked.

Once again, I stand with my notion that DC has a sleeper with Aquaman...nothing has ever been done underwater and especially amazing.. so i think DC has a chance to own something in this CBM era, if AM is done well, i think DC willl gain an edge, Drago looked damn good :ahh:

Still iffy on Flash but we'll have to see, Cyborg cant comment, was nice seeing the Motherbox in action though.

...... IN CONCLUSION

The hate the movie is getting is HIGHLY unwarranted, whatever reason you have against the movie shouldnt be anything less than 60%

VISUALLY = 8/10 (would be higher if not for that cgi cringe fest when supes got nuked :scust: )
Story line = 6.5/10 (they had A LOT of stories to tell and not enough time)
Action = 10/10 (warehouse scene = GOAT fight scene EVER !! #2 is from Winter Soldier)

overall the movie is a must see, def seeing it again, its that good.

Which is an opinion I do not agree with and due to the attempt it makes BvS more than just mindless entertainment because mindless entertainment doesn't even try to be more than that.

what's worse, a dumb movie that knows it's dumb or a dumb movie that believes itself to be smart?

The Dark Knight Rises was a decent effort. It wasn't mind blowing but I wasn't bored by it like I was BvS. Like I said I loved the action in BvS but the rest of the movie it felt like I was tolerating it to get to something interesting. If you aren't into the city destroying fights that were the style of Man of Steel then you won't even like the fighting.

People are trying to act like something deep or dope is going on here when it's all heavy-handed and simple and takes way too long to set up. There's almost no character development in the entire film. Maybe a tiny bit on Batman's part but his character pretty much turns on a dime.

If DC wasn't already so knee deep in pushing for JL I'd say they should scrap this whole cinematic universe and start over. Timm and Dini's animated universe was light years better than what's here.

I wonder how long these movies will continue to bring in money just off the character names when the quality of them is getting progressively worse.

30 RT score :camby:

I actually loved the first half of the film before the big fight


I agree and we really need to change the narrative.... this was a good film.... but it was a good film like a good player in a bad game

If this was basketball.... this was like a game where;

Batman was Bron dropping 40/15/10
Superman was Kyrie dropping 25/6
WW was Love dropping 17/13

But Lex was JR shooting them out of a W with some apparent minor issues from the other cast falling flat with Dela, Triston, Mozgov the "reveals"

And bad calls or etc by the refs or costly turnovers equating to pacing, decision making, etc.

Overall.... "good" game, but something was off that cost them the W:russ: But on no fault of the major players (excluding one)
