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.

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By Nas · Posted

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.
