I'm not really surprised at the bad reviews. I thought Man of Steel was absolutely terrible and completely missed the mark on capturing the spirit of Superman. I cannot believe they allowed Zack Snyder to direct another super hero film.

Initial reviews I'm seeing are mediocre. Been expecting that all along. The trailers along with castings have left me underwhelmed. Think I'll be waiting for the rental...

I never look at reviews. The trailer either interests me, or it don't. I think I'll like this movie. May not be the best superhero movie this year, but it'll be one I'll like. Civil war will probably be the best one.

A week or so ago the editor at Heroic Hollywood said expect bad reviews even if the film is good because there is an effort now in some circles to put superhero films down!

If you look less at the overall rating and more at the company's the reviewers work for and who voted it Fresh or Rotten!

All these voted Rotten!
Newsday
New York Post
Entertainment Weekly
Hollywood Reporter
GQ Mag (UK)
Forbes
Times (UK)
Miami Herald

Those voting Fresh...
People Magazine
AP
Forbes
USA Today
Empire Magazine
Variety

:eek:lol: yeah...no.

One of my fave youtube reviewers, Chris Stuckman, said the movie, while with its good aspects, was a mess. the dude is huge into comics and what have you as well. Highly doubt his C+ grade was part of an effort to put comic book movies down.

I'll still gladly go see this, but I'm not surprised at all by the average reviews for this. (that being sad, i'm loving all the positive talk about Affleck's batman/bruce wayne. might be the thing i'm most looking forward to in this.)

LOL, yeah I'm sure it's a conspiracy. Come on man....

Anyway, I'll still see it, but I wasn't expecting it to be the best thing ever.

Forbes voted it Fresh and Rotten? Lots of fan reviews say it's a stinker, so I don't think it's just publications with an agenda. The consensus seems to be that Affleck does a great job and everyone else not so much.

I know who he is, I prefer JohnFlickster! Among several other Blutubers I follow!

So it appears the part of the movie everyone was worried about (Affleck as Batman) is the best thing about it and the rest of the movie is a jumbled mess.

Bring on Suicide Squad.

I have a feeling that Suicide Squad won't be that great.

8.5/10 at Heroic Hollywood

I didn't read the main part of the review because of the spoiler warning. It does say the following in the summary:

"I thought this was the perfect start to the DC Extended Universe. I had a tiny issue with the pacing in the first act, but a second viewing and the second and third acts make me forget my issue entirely. I love this film so much. The story is very complex and you need to pay very close attention to every detail. For certain things you’d really have to know DC Comics lore to understand. [REMOVED SPOILER] I wasn’t too sold on Affleck until seeing this film. He is the definitive Batman and his performance blew me away. Wonder Woman is the star of this movie and the entire crowd agreed by screaming each time she appeared. Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor was the perfect mix of insane, evil and downright brilliant. Jeremy Irons was a great Alfred and was the perfect comedic presence in the film, if you like sarcasm. Last but not least, Superman. Henry Cavill gave us one hell a performance. They redeemed Superman. This film is everything you want it to be and then some. You will laugh. You will cry. Go see it. Grab your tickets and take your kids. They will love it. I know I did. I’m taking my nephews this weekend!"

Critics are dumping all over this one. Fans like it. Not sure what to do.

I dunno. There seem to be quite a few fans on IMDB that watched it and said it was lackluster. It seems to have the same complaints from people, that it drags in too many spots and the writing/plot gets lost along the way.

'Muddled' is a word I keep seeing.

It is kinda ironic that Affleck is the one thing with consistent praise.

So the Dark Knight Trilogy got good reviews because it is Marvel? :crazy:

I'll freely admit I have preconceived notions about the direction Zach Snyder is taking the DC Cinema U. I didn't care for MoS despite being excited as all get out about it until I watched it. I left very disappointed. Dark and gloomy Superman who let's Pa Kent get sucked up by a tornado is not what I want from Superman.

Even the "good" reviews I've read have backed up those same concerns. Dark, dour, gloomy, excessive destruction, etc, are consistent words being used. That's not what what I want to see.

Saw an interesting thought earlier. If The Dark Knight had come out tonight instead of Dawn of Justice, would we be seeing the same reviews? That it's an overly dark, needlessly moody take on a superhero movie?

It works for solo Batman.

The Daredevil show is pretty dark too. It works for that character.

Superman? Not so much.
