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.

      Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
