Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

So are the people that liked Man of Steel also liking this movie?

As one of those people, I'll let you know. My birthday is coming up, and this is the most appealing thing in theaters right now, so to heck with the critics. I'm gonna see for myself.

Personally I can't think of a Ben Affleck movie I care for.

Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo!

Afflek was our first clue...or third or fourth clue.

Affleck was most of what the movie had going for it.

You saw it? Or you're going from reviews?

Personally I can't think of a Ben Affleck movie I care for. Maybe Smokin' Aces, but it's almost as terrible as it is good...

I was going from Man of Steel and Affleck

No familiar with the saying "two wrongs don't make a right," then?

To be fair to Affleck, I've not seen Phantoms.

Affleck is rarely my problem in the movies I see him in (unless he's directing them) but still, very poor returns as far as I am concerned.

Imagine being on the set of Justice League in a couple of weeks...

Imagine being one of the producers. They already sunk so much money into JL, and the script is done (hopefully). So even if they fired Snyder. it'd be very difficult to turn the ship at this point. Especially since the biggest issue most of the reviews have is how dark the tone is.

While I'm still reserving judgement, maybe one bit of good that can come of this is getting some different writers involved. David Goyer has made both good and bad movies, but overall I think he gets too much comic book movie work.

I completely agree.

I liked it.

[Relaxing Dragon]

I liked Ben Affleck in it (but then, I expected to). The rest was generally a baffling jumble of a movie.

Yeah, saw it last night. As a movie, I liked it. As a representation of Batman and Superman, I'm less enthusiastic. Batman's a bit off (but Affleck was actually pretty good. His performance was one of the few that I've seen that actually treated Bruce Wayne as something other than an afterthought, and a bit heroic in his own right), Supes is way, way, way off. Luthor's... interesting, but I don't know if I'd call it a good portrayal of him. To be fair, I've watched a lot of the DC animated stuff recently, and Eisenberg's version comes off poorly in comparison to that Lex.

But once you move away from them, the other characters are pretty good. The bits and pieces we see of Gadot are great. The brief scenes with the rest of the League actually look pretty good too. Except for one scene in the middle which didn't make a lot of sense period. If this had been, say, Atlas vs. The Revenant, I think people would have liked it a lot more. There are some really impressive scenes in it. But it's far too gritty a version of Superman.

Any talk of a directors cut?
