In theory I'd agree 100%. That's exactly what Flash should be to JL -- unfortunately I'm very worried about the emo Flash they've cast Ezra Miller, and Snyder's comments about the Flash when saying why they didn't want to use the TV Flash. Disconcerting.

It's Barry though.

Yes, Barry brings fun into it, but Barry isn't outright funny - TV show Barry is a blend of Barry and Wally.

I feel like when fans refer to Flash adding fun to the League, they are thinking of JL/JLU, with Wally as Flash.

He did say that it would be "more fun" because Flash is a millenial and that he's not dealing with heavy stuff like Diana in WWI.

 

[Rowsdower!]

My audience generally seemed to like it. There were claps and cheers for Wonder Woman and the other JL members. But the one thing that stuck out to me was the kid I heard crying during a certain scene. Can't deny that it bother me.

 

[The_Shadow]

My theater erupted on WW's arrival. Scene was fantastic.

 

[cjs42079]

There was a teenage boy crying and hyper-ventilating when

Spoiler

Superman died

 

[metaphysician]

I always enjoy the hyperbole and exaggeration in these threads. In that vein, here is my crowd report:

There was a man in a wheel chair at my showing. When the film ended, the audience all leaped up from their seats and gave a rousing standing ovation. Unfortunately, this poor handicapped man looked particularly pained, clearly by the fact that he could not get up from his seat and give this film the proper standing tribute it deserved. Then "A Zack Snyder Film" credit came onto the screen. Suddenly a light shone down upon this wheel chair bound man. The light emanated from Zack Snyder's name onto the man. Suddenly, he was able to stand and walk and most importantly give Zack Snyder the standing ovation he so deserved.

True story.

I'm sorry, I can't buy this for a second.

Now, if you said he detonated a bomb, and killed everyone in there in an act of spite, that I'd buy.

If I am getting this right..

It's Supes' death, right? I think that's what we are supposed to do. It would be weird if we didn't (I did too; that was about the most emotional scene I have seen in a CBM).

And on the opposite end:

During my showing, people were so disgusted that people actually left the theater, went outside to the local farmer's vegetable cart, brought some tomatoes, returned to the theater, and started hurtling them at the screen. Well, that's not entirely true, I thought I saw some lettuce and artichokes in there also. It was dark so I really couldn't tell...

In addition, when Wonder Woman showed up, a couple people started shouting "Hey! That's not Lynda Carter! FAIL!!!" while everyone else just gagged on their popcorn.

Those brave souls who were actually still in their seats at the end of the movie were so angry that they ripped out their chairs from the floor and started a mini-riot. Luckily, there were only about a dozen people left unless it would have been much worse.

In the lobby afterwards, I noticed about ten people crying into their soda cups mumbling quietly to themselves. Meanwhile, several other patrons grabbed a bunch of toilet paper from the bathroom and started tee-peeing the entire theater, both inside and outside. As I walked to my car, I turned around and noticed graffiti on the side wall of the adjacent building in big red letters that said "BATMAN V SUPERMAN SUCKS!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR CIVIL WAR!!!"

True story.

Omg, lol. I love you, HYPE. Never change.

I'm copying and pasting this and wearing it on a shirt.

Every day.

As long as you credit me it's all good.

 

[teardrop]

nobody walked out during the movie, and nobody fell asleep

nobody clapped hands or went "WoWWOOO" (well we don't do that in Taiwan, and so I restrained myself when Wonder Woman showed up)

two people exchanged agreement: "you cannot trust WB to make superhero movies" when they walked out the theater.

 

[Tra-El]

BvS, to me, is a wonderful comic book movie. It's different than the other studio and drastically so. What those two are implying is that there's only very few ways to make CMB's.

Janele on ESPN is giving her review. She likes the movie a lot. Sorry if random, ESPN is on in the background lol.

See? We can have fun on both sides.

 

[Longshot777]

Silence throughout the movie then some claps for WW then some applause at the end.

I loved this movie...it's so different.

Both Avengers and this are great BUT sooooo different from each other.

Do not expect a fun movie or any cool scenes cause there is none.

But the movie as whole is great and I was glued in and can't wait for WW and JL.

For the people who hated it.....I can understand why they did.

 

[4thWallBreaker]

Pretty quiet. This list might be long, but it's only because they're the only things I noticed.

- 90 minutes in, I look to my left to see a kid that seemed like he skipped school to see this and he's leaning forward with his head resting on his fists and looking so bored that he seems mad.

- Batman and Martha Kent talking to each other gets an appropriate laugh.

- Jessie Eisenberg being Jessie Eisenberg gets an unintentional laugh during his extra over-the-top final scene, screaming at Batman.

- Doomsday doing his trick for the first time has one guy go, "Whoa!" He was alone in doing so.

The rest of the time was dead quiet.

 

[ThePhantasm]

[BLACKOUT]When the bomb is about to go off in the senate hearing[/BLACKOUT], the audience murmured uncomfortably and one guy across the aisle said loudly to his buddy "something bad is going to happen."

[BLACKOUT]When Batman saved Martha and Martha made her wisecrack[/BLACKOUT], the audience laughed. And by the audience, I mean everyone. That moment landed very well.

[BLACKOUT]When Wonder Woman showed up[/BLACKOUT] the audience reacted in various ways. Some people oohed, someone in the back said "hell yeah" which made me laugh.

At the end of the film there was scattered clapping. It wasn't one of those whole theatre clapping moments, but it was more than one group of people. Last time I heard clapping in a theatre was at the end of The Dark Knight Rises, I think.

There were several people dressed up in my theatre, so the clapping may have been fans. Hard to tell in a dark room. But the atmosphere was positive.

Tra-El, on the one hand i really appreciate your enthusiam for the movie- and for the record I think some of the critics are a little harsh too, BUT you have over 10 posts in this thread and in 98% you just keep talking about how much you loved the movie.

There are tons of threads on this board for that- the spirit of this thread is observing the general audience- you are a hardcore fanatic so you're anything but "general"- moreover I just wanted people to report back their experience and share stories.. not so much keep telling everyone that they loved the movie...

 

[JtheDreamer]

You mean they weren't throwing roses at anyone's viewing? LOL

 

[The Joker]

My audience was as quiet as a grave through the whole thing. Some people even left during the dragged out ending.

 

[Bats123]

No one really clapped or cheered or anything at my screening, like a couple of people kinda did clap at the end but, man, it was silent as hell, i just looked over to my friends and they had a face of disgust and dissapointment.

Lol, you sure you wanna use "wonderful" to describe this movie?

 

[ThePhantasm]

One more audience reaction, FWIW: my dad is a diehard superman fan (I'm a diehard Batman fan) and he loved it. He really, really loved it. I was glad about that. I was more worried that he might be disappointed in the film than I was worried about myself.

 

[the5timechamp]

At my showing the stupid screen froze right before the trailers kicked off..... We waited patiently because they said it would take a few moments to fix... 15 minutes in the *****ing started and the self entitled people started formulating what kind of things they could demand...once they heard they could get a free ticket a chunk of the audience went to take advantage...........Finally they offered a chance to see the 3D showing that was about to start, some *****ed about not wanting to pay again...I quietly got up, grabbed a pair of 3D glasses from the return box and walked in....

As for the showing:

Silence all throughout..no reaction whatsoever save 2 moments...
1 Martha Kents line about cape 2 When Wonder Woman showed up to fight about 3 women were heard starting to cheer excitedly but quickly quieted down almost embarrased.

When the film ended no applause no nothing, just silence and people walking out.

Even as I felt weird about the film leaving the cinema early hours this morning I still couldn't stop smiling and that's because as a Superman fan I was thrilled with his arc in the film.
