BvS BvS Rottentomatoes score - how important will it be, and what do you hope for? - Part 5

[Leenie]

I'm shocked I didn't see this pop up sooner.

 

[Baneis8feettall]

We'll see soon if critics & audience feel so different about the movie.

 

[Zero_Effect]

So what will get the higher RT score BvS or Green Lantern?

 

[MrsKent26]

I think it's probably best to accept that it's going to be 30-35% at the highest. It's unfortunate, but it's reality.

 

[Sarcastic Fan]

34%

33%

 

[Lily Adler]

I actually agree Superman is now a tainted property and he will never get a solo film again. Henry Cavill, Amy Adams have been screwed over by WB/DC yet again.

 

[GreenKToo]

I really doubt we're gonna get Superman as a solo property again in the near future reboot or sequel. They've 3 cracks at the apple with fanboys unsatisfied and reception mixed to bad, while Batman still puts butts in seats and seems to come out well in this thing.

If you're hoping for them to attempt another Superman film again after all the drama the character costs for WB, forgetta about it. He'll be in JLA and other films I suspect, but I doubt they're gonna search for yet another white night to revive the characters solo film prospects.

I agree. Everyone wants to reinvent the wheel when nothing is wrong with thr current one.
Oh well, such is life.

A batch of negatives just hit for me in the last 10 mins or so, it could very well hit under that mark.

 

[lodeus]

I worry about marvel since I myself am getting tired of their formula. Daredevil was such a refreshing experience the studio though.

 

[Jekecy]

Imagine, just 2 nights ago those early rumblings of positive buzz and now poof.

I say this with love; many posters have shown to be treacherous when it comes to the dialog surrounding this film. It is especially damning when for the better part of 3-4 years there has been this constant mantra of "waiting until you see it".

The 1st wave of tweets and reviews didn't go away. They're still there. Once the RT wave hit, we all ran like sheep. I know for a fact over half the people posting right now hasn't seen the film and they're already calling for Zack's head. It's absolutely laughable how spineless some people have presented themselves.

Bash the film all you want, but have the gall to actually speak from personal experience.

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein

EXACTLY what I referring to. Hence my "literally"

Love how we're all carefree joking about when the entire cbm genre just took a massive hit to its reputation...

If Marvel wasn't KILLING it right now, i would agree. Hell, even the new X-Men movies are really good!

Wow, that's a really glowing compliment! I totally agree that it's the best Superman comic in years. Have you seen the pitch for his dream MOS sequel?

[YT]ygWvAqvTrVI[/YT]

He might not have the most likable personality, but he has THE BEST ideas for Superman stories.

I have not. I'll give it a look. Glad I'm not the only one who enjoys his vision of Superman.

 

[Bane Cook]

I feel like Murph in Interstellar

"WB, did you know? He told you, right? You knew. This was all a sham. You left us here. To get hyped. To be disappointed."

 

[Baneis8feettall]

Bright side: Critics loved BvS more than My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2.
Dark side: Nowhere near at My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

 

[Leenie]

Sucker Punch is currently sitting at a 23%.

Does anyone think BvS will match that or possibly be worse?

To be fair, I've been against Snyder since MoS came out.

 

[Kargo Warrior]

Their inability to strike when the iron was hot, is the biggest problem WB has had. They only started planning a shared universe following Marvel's tail.

Just imagine them having a foresight like Marvel did, planning their universe on the laurels
of The Dark Knight trilogy instead of starting all over.

Imagine a Batman replacement spin-off with JGL, a decent Superman film, a Wonder Woman spin-off, a Superman sequel with the temporary Batman in which similar to the Empire Strikes Back the good guys aren't strong enough, which in turn makes Christian Bale come from retirement, taking over the mantle while JGL becomes Nightwing.

There's your Justice League film. Gazilion $ guaranteed. During that film you can add Flash or Aquaman, or you can leave them for the sequel.

WB, on the contrary, isn't building a universe. They have had a single film that wasn't very well received and instead of slowing down they've crammed everything into the sequel hoping to elude about 5 steps in the build-up so they just have their money making machine in the Justice League films.

Didn't they learn anything from Sony and their ASM2 debacle?

Doubt it

This is depressing. Superman doesn't deserve this.

I really do worry for the DC Cinematic Universe. I'm not at all worried for comic book movies altogether, though (especially after how well Deadpool has done and how Marvel Studios keeps on truckin').

Sony didn't learn from their OWN mistakes in Spider-Man 3. You think another company will notice? Hollywood is brainless.

 

[NJCaliboi]

I honestly wish I could go back.

The worst part about this is I can't be excited when the movie is about to play. Nothing is more exciting than being in that dark theater room. With TFA, the ratings were great and I was pumped out of my mind. And I'm a bigger fan of Superman and Batman than Star Wars. But this has just taken the air out of everything. Couple of my friends dropped out from watching and refunded their tickets. I'm still on the fence.

Did this really happen? Sorry I don't mean to doubt you but it's a little hard to swallow that two of your friend refunded their tickets because of the reviews. If I'm wrong I apologize for doubting, but yes I most certainly do doubt this.

 

[Kane52630]

I remember saying a couple months ago (with of course the usual backlash from other Hypesters on here) that Synder and WB only cares about Batman and ta-da here we are...

Nolan didn't want his trilogy involved with all that so WB respected his wishes and left it at that. Plus there would be a bunch of plot holes that I won't get into

 

[Bane Cook]

3 years I waited for this. But it seems Batman v Superman was never real. Just a dream from some fanboys on a message board.

 

[socool]

Seriously. Man of Steel was my access into really, really liking Superman and I left that theater pissed. I want Superman to be cool--because he can be!! I've seen it before!! But WB just...I dunno. They don't know what to do with him it seems.

But, once again, I haven't seen the film. Maybe the critics are being harsh...I hope so...

I can already see the cover of the bluray
