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.

      The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

      If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
