LOVED IT!!!!

This is the Batman story in all it's glory. If there's one guy on Earth who gives a 

damn about humans, it's Batman. If you follow the "lore", Batman keeps track of

anyone who might be a danger to the human race and figures out how to take

them out if necessary. And from the trailer, this is him letting Superman know

he's not nearly as powerful as he might think. Basically, if you get out of line

I'm the guy who's going to put you down.

 

I sooooo can't wait.


Holy crap... just watched that "official" trailer that Damien posted. Check out: .40.

Those guys kneeling have "S" patches on their shoulders. Oooooo.....

What? Let me guess you are one of those "superman movies must be full of rainbows and sunshine" types?

Not at all, I just thought for a movie that was meant to be big on Batman fighting Superman, all they did was stare at each other. 

Disappointing for me, and you gotta admit, Man of Steel was a terrible movie.

No, I don't have to admit that because I don't agree with you, I thought it was a good movie.

It's a teaser, and besides, why show us the fight?  Hell, why give out anything more than it has to?  I mean that last terminator trailer gave away the whole movie, you don't even have to go watch it now (maybe that's why they did it though? :p)

 

Teasers and trailers in general shouldn't give away a lot of the story, that's not good at all.

The trailer is really good. But so was Man of Steel's, and we know how that one ended up.

 

Yeah, as the highest grossing Superman movie of all time.

Yeah, and also a piece of ###### movie.

 

You can think that of course, but as far as the studio cares, MoS was a big success, and obviously the numbers show that a lot of people went to see it.  $660million worldwide is not a small number for a movie to pull in.  I have little doubt that BvS will break the $1billion worldwide mark at the box office next year.

in comparison to what exactly?

 

i thought it was entertaining.   some parts were crap but some i enjoyed.     i came in with no expectations though. 

this new movie looks bad ass.     i did not like the idea at first, but i think it could work really well and be huge.

I have no doubts about the financial performance of this movie, why are you even bringing that up? All I was saying is, we shouldn't judge the quality of the movie based on the quality of the trailer. If we go that route, then Prometheus is one of the greatest movies ever.

In comparison to other action/drama movies and other comic book/superhero/action origin movies, but also compared to a movie as a narrative device and visual medium in general. Compared to the likes of first Iron Man or Batman Begins, which are closest to it (Batman Begins especially, as it ushered in a more serious tone for these movies, which Man of Steel desperately tried to achieve), Man of Steel fails on almost every level. It fails to establish any character you care about, it's pacing is horrible, the plot is dumb, the tone inconsistent (and imo, completely wrong) and the third act is mindless, boring action with next to no stakes.

So don't go see this next one then? You make this posts like you're being forced to go to movies you have no interest in.

 

Like I said earlier, I enjoyed the first one. Could it have been better? Yes it could have been. What movie couldn't be better? But it was far from a terrible movie.

When did I say anything that would indicate I wouldn't go see this one? I'm just saying that, even though the trailer is really good, I'm still skeptical about the quality of the final movie, seeing as how burned I was with Man of Steel. Am I really nonsensical? My last jab in Jurassic World thread for instance is obviously more cynical and if I annoyed anyone there, I wouldn't try to justify it in any way, but why are you people acting like something like a silly Batman movie is beyond reproach?

I'm using the financial success of the movie as an indicator of how good or bad the general movie going public thought of it.  I don't take a few critics reviews on things as defacto,  Until I see it I won't know if I'll like it but a good trailer helps show enough to get you interested in seeing it in the first place. Regardless, the money a movie brings in is as good a metric as anything to use.

I couldn't disagree more.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
