BvS BvS: Early Tweet Discussion Thread (NO SPOILERS)

[dodong27]

Yeah, so far buzz seems to be positive. How soon do you guys think reviews will start to hit?

Reviews won't be out til 03/22 3pm, that's when the Embargo is lifted.

I will have my own review up on my YT channel. I've been waiting for so long to say something about this film!!! It's been a week now since I've seen this film.

Unless I missed something, one for certain hasn't seen the movie. The Vanity Fair columnist (not critic) is prejudging. I don't know who that other guy is or how he's seen the movie. That is not a professional looking Twitter page so I doubt he's in the media.

I was referring to the Brasil critic as the other one not that other pre judging woman. Yes as for the other guy bit suspicious myself as he hasn't tweeted anything since December until now.

 

[Unbreakable Lex]

Doesn't the embargo lift on the 22nd? I'll certainly be in here on the 21st to give my thoughts, whatever they might be worth.

If they are negative, just lie to us, for your own sake.

The movie could be fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and still have 3 out of every 10 people who watch it hate it.

There's always going to be negative reviews. Even some movies which get nominated for Academy Awards (The Revenant) have 2 out of every 10 people not liking them.

General audience is almost always more forgiving, just look at Jurassic World and it's 3x multiplier off a 200 million opening despite a 71 RT

Yeah, at the same time I think that people closing down every review as "clearly biased" isn't particularly healthy too.

Most of my friends weren't massively impressed with Deadpool - mostly because it was so universally praised that I think they thought it'd be the second coming of comedy and superhero movies. By the time I saw it, I really enjoyed it, in big part because my expectations had been lowered by my friends disappointments.

A lot of my disapointment form my original TFW viewing was for similar reasons.

Completely writing off any negative feedback entirely will only lead to people being disapointed if the move's a just a good movie, and not an epicly amazing movie.

My dislike of Snyder is well known, so I'm not too keen on the Watchmen comparisons. I won't agree with the reviewer who had written it off pre-view though, more because of Afflecks involvement than anything. He's actually got a lot of experience at acting, writing, producing, and probably as much directing experience as Snyder. We already know he's re-written a lot of parts - he has so much professionally resting on this film that I think he wouldn't settle for making another Daredevil.

Have you guys seen this? I guess Joanna Robinson is yet another critic who has made up their mind about the movie before even seeing it.

It's pretty pathetic.

Why bother to go and see a 2 hour and bit hour movie if you're going to hate it anyway? I suppose it gets her some attention, which is probably what she wants.

Just give us a quick thumbs up/down.

You people tweeting/responding to them are absolute fools. You are feeding the trolls who clearly crave the attention.

Someone on the last page is proud of being blocked by her. You should be ashamed of contacting her to begin with. It hurts them more when you ignore them.

 

[king666]

Ana Maria Bahiana (the person who said she missed Bale and Nolan) said there's a lot of good stuff in the movie. She also said WW is good. She's not a critic, though.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Just give us a quick thumbs up/down.

We talking 2 or 5 thumbs here?

 

[ThaIllest_89]

Personally speaking, the ONLY Zack Snyder movie I've ever enjoyed was "Man of Steel". I really felt like he was well matched for the material in the film, and I felt it gave me a more interesting take on Superman than I've seen in past filmed iterations. But, that's just me.

As for critics, ehhh... I already bought my tickets... So, I made my bed already, now I'm gonna lay in it.

Must be tough to keep all that bottled up. But you're so lucky you saw it

I got blocked for saying "how pretentious of you". That's all it took. Trust me, she's riled up more than I am at the onslaught she's receiving. Plus, now I never get to see her tripe again. It's win win.

Ashamed? That's silly.

All I'll say is:

DC Films = Graphic Novel
The Rest = Sunday Comics Newspaper

Take that as you will.

Affleck did not rewrite any part of the movie. Terrio did.

Oh, and that's another difference between the people who aren't so biased, and the people who are. The people who generally are biased against the film are much more prone to readily, and eagerly, believe any rumor that suggests something negative about the film (like WB having no plan, like BvS being so polarizing and bad that JL and the rest of the DCEU is cancelled, like the movie being so bad that Ben Affleck had to rewrite it in his costume).

 

[BlueLanternKal]

I thought Dawn of Dead was awesome. I was like, meh about 300 when it came out till one of my homies convinced me to watch it. Glad he did. Watchmen was awesome. Saw that a Lackland AFB straight out of basic so it stuck with me. And MoS was great because it was Superman. Snyder's visals helped too.

I think my biggest concern is that the fights in BvS don't look too video game-y. Some parts of the Battle of Smallville and Zod vs El took me out of the movie. I hope Snyder improved in his CG use.

But overall Snyder is cool. Especially when he's got a strong team behind him.

That sounds familiar. I think I've heard someone else say that before...

You can't apply that logic on anything. You just can't.

It really does lol. I think it was one of the first reactions we got.

 

[Bane Cook]

Welp.

Joanna Robinson ‏@jowrotethis 1h1 hour ago
Having seen all of Zack Snyder's previous films makes me MORE than qualified to pre-judge BATMAN V SUPERMAN. Thank you very much.

For some context, this is the same person who has a vendetta against Zack Snyder for depicting rape in his movies.

Last season of Game of Thrones she went on a social justice tirade for the rape scene with Sansa despite the fact that men are tortured, flayed, and butchered in droves on that show but she's perfectly okay with that(she's s huge GOT fan).

There's a lot of baggage in those tweets.

Yeah. Then again, given all the geek polarization over this film , I think that alot of fanboys and girls are like her and have basically already made up their minds on the film regardless of how it turns out.

I actually am gonna try to avoid the reviews and see it opening day without having reviews in my mind while watching it. Then I'm gonna see what the professional critics and GA say , then see what the fanboys have to say last.

Tumblr lurking neo-feminists are annoying. Hope Wonder Woman sets the Annitas of the internet straight.

Alright I to ask and I'm not trying to be rude here, but what's your position on other comic films? Did you like Man of Steel? Are you a Snyder fan in general? What do you think of the MCU. I'm just trying to gauge where you're coming from.

 

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Yeah it was one of the first reactions we got on twitter. He followed it up with loads of emoji's.
