BvS Have you seen the movie multiple times? If yes, has your opinion changed?

[Reel-Man]

Where?

There's a poll at the top of this thread. Unless you already voted, then you'll just see the result bars.

Seen it twice, and the film still feels disjointed. They should cut down on some scenes rather than add to them. That said, i won't be rewatching the theatrical cut. I'll wait for the Ultimate one.

I've seen it twice now. I really enjoyed it the first time. The pacing did seem abrupt in the beginning of my first watch. Not enough to bother me though... After all the intro was over, the pacing of the film seemed fine to me the rest of the way out.

During my second viewing, I realized the pivotal scene in the movie is the knightmare/Flash reveal. There is so much right there that ties together the events of this movie, AND what is to come in JL. I'm with the theory that the knightmare sequence was not a dream, but the flash somehow showing Bruce what could potentially happen in the future... or maybe what does happen... and the Flash appears at the end, traveling back in time to warn/inform him. I think the other dream sequences were there to merely throw off the audience to think that this particular sequence was probably just a dream... or was it? I think that was really smart.

The validity of this comes at the end when Luthor talks about "him". That's he knows us, that he's hungry, he's coming... and with Superman dead basically the door is open.

A lot of things happen in this movie, but I believe all that is at the heart of it. I also believe that Lex's actions were motivated by Darkseid. Thus, those are his reasons and motivations for pitting B and S against each other, and creating Doomsday as a backup plan.

My two cents. I'll probably see it a few more times. I caught more things in the second viewing. Let's not just go with all the groaning people out there who are bashing it. Open your minds and let it in.

The Flash sequence with Bruce is awesome!

It's is pivotal!

Isn't it a bit ironic to say the pacing gets better with a repeat viewing? That's because you know what to expect.

 

[Reel-Man]

Is everyone seeing the poll at the top?

 

[Manny Moo]

First time I rated at a 7/10
Second time 8.5/10

 

[KidwiththeGold]

Seen it twice... 1st time at the Fan screening gave it around 7.5-8/10 .. Watch again on Sat loved it even more gave upped to 8.5/10... Editing /pacing wasn't as off, was able to pay attention to every little detail. they really put work into this movie , cant wait to see it again next Sat !

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Yeah, Snyder's films tend to really grow on people on repeat viewings. That's not something you can say of a lot of other film makers. Not making comparisons, but Stanley Kubrick's films had that same quality. Critics hated The Shinning when that dropped and today it's considered a classic. Some food for thought. Don't forget to scrape the plate.

 

[RadioSha]

I am really happy that this movie is doing well financially. A lot of work was put into this movie.

Zack Snyder is still a glaring problem though. You can't have every DC movie be this divisive. I hope he leaves.

 

[Reel-Man]

Holy crap, considering all the bickering in some threads between the two sides, I'm astonished 18 people said they found it got better. 7 said it's unchanged and for the positive. Remarkable!

That is so true!!

I was disappointed in MOS first viewing then boom it became one of my favorites.

BVS I liked first time then second time I was mixed but I can't stop thinking about it and I see what Snyder and co is trying to do.

Here's my superhero ranking...Civil War might take top spot after this year

1. Dark Knight Trilogy

2. Avengers 1&2

3. MOS and Winter Soldier and BVS

4. Spider-Man 1&2, Watchmen

5. Ironman

6. Thor

7. Captain America

8. Superman 79 and Batman 89

 

[Reel-Man]

Good list. I can't wait to see what the other movies this year bring to the table.

Hi Reels, any idea why the positivity thread got stopped? Surely it could have been allowed for another few days?

Oh well, where are the sanest threads right now?

They reopened a new one. It's because it was getting heated and in the separate threads and we (including myself at times) were making mention of how crazy it was in the other thread (box office).

 

[DeadStroke]

My first viewing it was probably a 7, but fandom pushed it up to an 8.

Second viewing I said its anywhere from 8.5 to 9.

Cool, thanks

I've lost faith in the world at the moment and with loads on this site. Human nature is not always nice to witness.

I think it mostly comes down to some of us forgetting that we are taking to other people and not just a computer. I'm sure if everyone was talking in person, it would be more playful and less hostile. Things very often get lost in wording and text when posting online.

Pacing issues disappear with the repeat viewing. That doesn't mean the issue isn't there, it's just far less noticeable. What you'll notice is stronger structure, foreshadowing, and dense, intelligent dialogue.

Tell me about it! It's still rare to see so much negative stuff online and people being almost gleeful if someone fails. It's just nasty minded imo

It makes sense in a way as you know where to look and pick up the little subtleties and plot points better. I haven't seen it for a second time yet but that's usually the case with these big movies that have a lot of layers.

Yup.

Yes, first time I saw it, I loved the visuals but wasn't into Lex, thought the storytelling was lacking and some of my expectations hadn't been met.
Then I read some of the comments on here and saw it again and it did get better and now with a third viewing, I feel like I really got where they were going with the story and Batman & Supermans conflict and Lex. So I guess it went from a 7.5 to a solid 9 for me. I love it.

 

[Reel-Man]

Right now it's at a 9 for me. I'm wondering if this rating will hold up Tuesday or not.

 

[gqxsensazn]

Second time was much better. It gave me a chance to really look for the details and enjoy the movie more. My opinion is much higher after the repeating viewing.
