I really enjoyed it. Was it perfect? No, of course not. But I went in expecting certain things and came out satisfied.

I've just been watching Man of Steel in preparation for this film. I remember when that came out, a lot of people panned it, too. Maybe this particular style isn't for everyone? I've got a good friend who I work with who absolutely loathes Man of Steel, but he is TeamMarvel.

 

I'll go in with an open mind and expect something similar to what we got with Man of Steel. What's this about 30 minutes extra footage in the blu ray release? What's all that about?

The film was going to be three hours long, with extra plots, violence and nudity which would give it an R rating.

 

As for saying it's not for everyone, that seems to be a running theme with much of Zack Snyder's work...

We just watched some Man of Steel on Amazon, after watching BvS on Friday - and the difference in quality to us (my gf who isn't into super hero films), was very clear.

 

Man of Steel was emotionally driven and had a more realistic edge to it, like Clark on the oil rig and Russell Crowe's input. Its really a clear-cut difference in the overall experience... :cry:

 

Hoping Captain America doesn't mess up..

Damn. Critics clearly didn't get word around enough to stop the opening weekend from being MASSIVE.

 

$424.1 million worldwide, the biggest superhero opening weekend and the fourth biggest opening weekend of all time.

 

Deleted scene released by WB, titled "Communion".

I really enjoyed the film but it feels like it was made to be three hours long and near the end someone asked for half an hour to be cut.

I saw this today with a friend who is a huuuge Marvel fan, isn't massive on DC and hated Man of Steel. To make matters worse, he was late to the cinema by about 40 minutes due to an accident holding up traffic on the way in. The people selling popcorn and drinks kept looking over and giving sympathetic smiles like I'd been stood up for a date! I could have cried. :heh:

 

We managed to get into our seats barely seconds before the film was about to start. Within two minutes, the guy next to me had spilled his entire drink of coke onto the person next to him (luckily not me!) and rustled his sweets all the fucking way through the film, which irritated me and my friend. Adding all of this together, he shouldn't have enjoyed it.

 

But he did and I really enjoyed it, too. I watched Man of Steel again before seeing this and I do think that the two films marry well. I will say that I went in with reeeeeeally low expectations due to the reactions from critics, etc. But, I didn't really want it to end.

Yeah, to me it was the Greek tragedy I always wanted to see on screen. And it's building towards the space opera it needs to become.

Hans Zimmer has announced his retirement from superhero movies scores.

 

Damn, one of the best things about this film...

 

Yeah, gutted. I'm not surprised. From what I read many months back, he actually decided to walk away after Man of Steel and ruled himself out of the running for BvS before changing his mind. So, it looks like this has been on the cards for a while. It might be a good thing for him as an artist not to be associated with just one genre of film, so I imagine that could be part of his reasoning.

 

I'm seeing him next month when he comes to Bournemouth. Very excited! :D I'm a particularly massive fan of his Interstellar soundtrack. Man of Steel's music was also superb. As was Inception. Fuck, the list just goes on.

This was a travesty! Worse than The Amazing Spider-Man 2, worse than Spider-Man 3... worse, even, than the Affleck Daredevil (I can't believe I'm saying that, but it's actually true!).

 

It started off alright and looked to be building toward something good... but it had a couple needless bits which made absolutely no sense whatsoever as they had NOTHING to do with this film, even if I got the references, and then it was completely ruined by the decision to condense what should have been the most epic of all DC moments, and a standalone film in its own right, into 15 minutes of shite. Utter shite!

 

1/10. DO NOT watch!

I can see your point @Daft, and while it does make sense in that respect...

With regards to the ending of the film:

Saw it yesterday. This basically applies to me:

[..]

I enjoyed it, but I had really low expectations. I made my peace with certain bad decisions months ago, and went in to see Batman and Superman in one film, and fight, and to get my first glimpse of Wonder Woman, and without the need to complain about things I'm already expecting to be bad. I thought the action was great, and I liked some other things, and objectively I can't call it a good film, but it simply met my expectations.

 

It all comes down to how the DC cinematic universe is handled: poorly. I already knew that from the start, and obviously the film confirmed this for me.. All the prominent characters should have had a film before this ensemble film. Seeing a Batman film before this would have made this an even more enjoyable experience. I guess the film serves "adequately" as an introduction to Wonder Woman, but I'd also would have liked to see more of her. Some more Diana Prince scenes would've helped. The same goes for Lex Luthor. A lot of characters I felt little to nothing for, since I'm not yet invested in those characters. They should've removed most references to the Justice League and meta humans to make room for the characters that are actually in it. Justice League better be phenomenal, because at this point I have, well let's say 50% interest in The Flash (which is not because of this film), and 0 interest in Aquaman and that other dude.
