You really pulling the last strings of an olden sweater....

You cannot complain about trailer, because it is pretty decent.

You cannot complain about affleck. Since, it looks like he is doing an ok job...

So.... you got nothing.

Ohhh. Wait. you can call him fat. Score!

Good job not impressing anyone ;)

 

good-job for writing a complete lecture, concluding nothing.

The difference between this and Nolan's batman is that his batman was more the "real life" batman. Example his suit was pretty much retrofitted from something else, and no real over the top comic book moments. 

 

Do you think Superman would fit in Nolan's films? No.. 

 

Anyways, Superman > Batman.

 

 

I believe the first major difference between this and Nolans batman suits are the armor.  If you go back and look at the suit Affleck is using, it's got nowhere near the "armor plating" look to it that the above Nolan suit does.  Guys, that's 90% Ben, he's buffed up, look at the comic con panel when he's standing next to Harvy, he's f'ing huge man.   The new suit has very little "padding" and "armor"  It's more like the traditional comic/animated version where it's really just a thin suit and it's shape is mostly just how batman is physically as appose to any rubber or Kevlar armor/padding making him look built/buff.

Some of the crew over at Cinefix are doing a "Superheros in training" thing where they are using this guy who basically gets all these actors into screen shape to play whatever superhero it is by doing this massively hard workout regime etc. In about 8 weeks some of these guys doing it look RIPPED and some just look like they lost weight and look way better. So I don't doubt Affleck did somehing to bulk up - whether it was this or not. Because he looks HUGE compared to Cavill.

Mad Max: Fury Road proved that you can have an all action film with limited dialogue and still make it compelling, whereas films like Man Of Steel and Age Of Ultron fell flat. To me Superman seemed like an extra in his own film - Zod was the more compelling character.

I don't get that at all.  While I also enjoyed its visual spectacle, I cared for its characters far less than in MOS.  Zod is supposed to be more compelling.

Mad Max: Fury Road demonstrated that you don't need length dialogue to make characters compelling - it's how they're portrayed and their body language. Sometimes having a character say nothing is more interesting. Superman in MoS simply wasn't very compelling or relatable and I'm concerned, based on the trailer, that Lex Luthor won't be either. Certainly he bore little relation to the character I've seen in so many other forms (previous films, comics, TV series, animated films, etc). The action scenes in MoS were terribleand excessive and BvS looks to be going in the same direction.

 

A lot of people are really excited about the trailer but to me it looks to make a lot of the same mistakes of MoS. That said, it's just a trailer and they can be misleading. The only thing that's clear is that the CGI is terrible.

The effects look amazing to me.

Just some scenes, hit something like the same bad point on uncanny valley as scenes in Blade 2/3 (forget which one had the ninja style vampires) and a bunch of other bad CGI in cinema.

Not quite sure what it is, it can't just be the lack of access to the virtual muscle tech used by ILM as plenty of animators have made scenes without such tech that looked more realistic to me.

I don't know, maybe I'm even wrong and it's just that they've overworked the postproduction and actually made the actors and their movement LOOK like it's CGI at those points, heh.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.

      These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
