Brother bought us tickets to a lovely 1015am screening, California time. That way if it sucks trying to get out after it's over won't be such a task.

According to the film's producer, the home version of the film was confirmed to be R-rated and due to the fight scenes going on longer than allowed for a PG-13 rating.
The extended scenes themselves won't be any different than the theatrical version, just them lasting longer is what triggered the ratings change. Quote:

the plot preview on the website for a local cinema has Russell Crowe in the cast... I'm assuming that is a mistake?

I don't know what it is, but....
Warner Brothers has warned people of a major spoiler that's made its way online. Also makes me think of any rumor ever heard about this movie is true... Maybe I'm wrong. |

Just won some pre-screening tickets to this from a local radio station. Showing is on Tuesday apparently. Guess I'll let y'all know if it turns out to be "meh" like I predicted, or if it pulls something out of its ass and ends up being decent.

Early Twitter reactions have been positive. Because I dgaf about spoilers I've read some leaks and honestly, if true, the story sounds far better than Man of Steel. However, that's just words on a message board, so who know how it's actually going to come across.
Tomorrow at 6pm pst will be judgement day, as WB will lift the critic and fan embargo, and reviews will flood in. So we will actually see how if at all it is an improvement over Man of Steel. |

Reading some very positive tweets about B vs S
People really seem to like Wonder Woman & Batman |

I've read the same. It is fan reaction though, which could be misleading. I'm eager to see the critical takes hit Rotten Tomatoes tomorrow.

Yeah, I went onto IMDB to see if it had any ratings yet. With about 4,000 votes, it had 9.5. However, I then read some of the reviews and most of the ones I read were people rating it 9/10 without even seeing the film. Their reviews full of terms like "apparently it will have Wonder Woman in it which will be awesome...".
So yeah. |

Don't worry, I'll try to be first to post reviews here. I will say that I love the score and felt that part was nailed. But I liked the last score and it ended up being better than the movie.

One cannot go to IMDB to gauge a movie. Every single movie has at least one "omg worst movie ever" thread in it.

You should see the Superhero Hype boards. They're the shit stain of message boards. Overreaction, bickering, fighting, fan boy arguments. It's the fucking worst.
A negative review of a movie and the world is ending, or a critic gives a movie they love a bad review, that critic is bias, has it out for the director/character/genre. |

Two Spanish reviewers posted negative listings on Rotten tomatoes, breaking the embargo. Nothing else has surfaced from any other critics on RT.
About 40 minutes away from said embargo lifting and seeing if Zack Snyder made a universally well received film or of it's another divisive effort typical of Snyder's resume. |

I loved it. It didn't feel congested to me like some reviews claimed. I was invested all of the way through. Seeing it again on Thursday.

It was getting slaughtered to start. 3% to start now in the low b40s. Man of Steel landed at at 56%. Granted it's still early, but the same issues Snyder failed on in MoS seemingly are still presently active in BvS, except it's bigger and louder.

Just got back from this, and I've got a little bit of a review. No spoilers for plot either so read on if you're interested in my opinion.
I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong, and I was definitely wrong about this movie... mostly. It improves from Man of Steel in pretty much every way. It didn't feel like a cluster fuck either which was one of my biggest concerns. Ben Affleck as Batman was also really great. I feel like he did a million times better than I ever expected him to, and Henry Cavill or whatever his name is was much better as Superman in this IMHO. Michael Cera was also amazing in his role in the movie. Total surprise from him. The fight scenes were also really good. The way they shot them it actually felt like something straight out of the comics, especially the final fight which was just awesome. However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There was still a lot wrong with the movie. For starters the casting on many characters is still shit. Wonder Woman was waaaay too tiny, and no I don't care if that's a "nitpick," I refuse to accept it, especially when Batman and Superman look so accurate to the comics. Her acting was also pretty meh IMO, and her accent bugged me for some reason. Flash also looks like a greasy little weasel that I just want to punch in the ball sack. I was also right when I said Batman was waaay too brutal and violent in the trailers. There were times in this movie that I felt like I was watching the Punisher instead of Batman. [tiny spoiler, but nothing plot related] I mean Batman kills like literally dozens of people in this without even batting an eye, and he does so with guns galore. GUNS! WTF, Batman, you're breaking both of your biggest rules like they mean nothing?! Of course I'm hoping they explain this in a future movie. Maybe it'll turn out that Robin died and it pushed him over the edge? IDK, Alfred does say "things HAVE changed" to him at one point so yeah... [/end of spoilers] Overall this was a pleasant surprise of a movie. I'd say it deserves like an 7.5/10. Not perfect, but far from the abomination I was expecting, and leagues better than Man of Steel. Last edited by Wishbone; 03-23-2016 at 03:03 AM. |

So, the critical reception is worse than Man of Steel so far. I wonder if it doesn't turn around if WB will delay justice league and find a new front man. They've thrown an awful lot of money at Snyder and for him to turn around and deliver back to back turds with their marquee characters isn't good.
Even if the movie makes money, you can't bank on a franchise that's not producing quality films. Especially when the first two involve your two most recognizable properties. |

Never understood why critics are bad people. Find it juvenile to think that they're these awful beings. The trolls who think there's bias towards marvel fail to mention the TDK series is critically acclaimed and that if Snyder actually made good movies they'd call them such.

I don't care about the R rating for the home release unless I get to see Gal Gadot / Wonder Woman naked or Ben Fleck's dick.
