MOS wasn't, and the impressions say its the same flavor of movie.

A WB/Snyder movie.

Man you really have problems being optimistic about Superman.

A real fan likes all the movies, and doesn't have waive ring faith right before the release.

The only reason you are saying this now is so you have an out if it doesn't go your way.

There have been several people who dislike super hero movies and blockbusters, yet thought BVS was great. Sounds like it is a crowd pleaser so far.

Hard to tell without proper Press Screenings. With just over a week to go doesn't seem like they have much faith in the Press giving this a thumbs up.

Difference is though this has Batman and Snyder's Darker tone suits Batman. The mistake was probably giving MOS a dark tone as well so now it feels like 2 Grimm movies in a row.

But if you want to take Bats anger towards Supes seriously, then probably best to keep the tone darker for this one Imo. Can lighten it up with JL.

WB held the press back for Mad Max, Disney with TFA. It's standard practice.

Marvel films have earlier reviews due to releasing overseas first.

That's just a common practice for WB. Like Playa said they did that for Mad Max and TDKR. Among others.

Ah ok.

9 days to go. Although could be as long as 12 for me as I didn't pre-book due to being on holiday. So will just grab one when I can now but has to be a good seat on a good screen.

😆 Um, NO? If a movie is shit it doesn't have to be appreciated. Unless you're a shit connoisseur. MoS wasn't that good. And even if you're in the realm of people that genuinely like it; there are reason why some Superman fans wouldn't.

1. Russel Crowe beats up the world
2. Overly dark tone for a Superman movie
3. Worst Pa Kent ever.....
4. Zod was a laughing stock........
5. and got his neck snapped by Superman.

Me, I was okay with MoS but understand why many people dislike it.

I liked those things you didn't like. How can you say Kevin Costner was bad? Seriously, its Kevin Costner. And Russel Crowe was great. I dont see how you are being a debbie downer on these points. There was nothing wrong with some change from the past.

Zod was hardly a worse villain than generic and completely forgettable losers like Malekith, Kurse, Ronan, Destroyer, etc. The list of Marvel villains who are nothing more than cannon fodder for the hero can go on forever. At least he had a motivation and something he strived for, other than RAWR I NEED AN INFINITY STONE!

The reactions are strong so far.

WB has made some damn good comic films in the past.

Oh quit being a fanboy and judge for yourself, nerd.

Iyo but he didn't compare to Ultron or Loki.

Wait until you see Thanos in the infinity films you will jump ship.

Um, I'm not saying Zod was a laughing stock because of his motivations and characterizations (however I don't feel that it seperates him from Marvel villains in that regard).

My point was that he was supposed to be a General and a soldier; DESIGNED to be superior at combat and war. And yet he got taken out by a scientist and a farmboy. That's pretty f***ing lame. Not sure why you had to bring Marvel into the mix anyway....never said that Marvel villains shit on him or anything.

That's the majority tbh, going by home entertainment sales.

Of course the majority didn't "love" it like they did Winter Soldier or GOTG. But they seemed to have enjoyed it enough for repeat viewings.

That isn't true at all. You just continue to speak for others. I heard from plenty who think this movie stunk. You only speak for yourself. The numbers don't lie.

Zod was the same type of villain as Ronan and Malikeith, just with more screen time.

All pretty one dimensional.
All strong military types
All wanting revenge for their people
All wanting to destroy a planet/universe or turn it to their liking (Zod,Malekith)

Zod: "RAWR I need revenge on this one specific person! "

Same shit. Like I said only difference is that Zod had more screen time to flesh or his motivations more. But it was basically ,"Rawr I need to kill jor-els son!".
The other 2 had some of their story arcs clips taken out the film.
The only reason Zod is even remembered more is because he got his necked snapped.

So does anyone know what the big spoiler is that is being leaked on the net? If it is what I think it is, then man, they are really being tough on Superman fans. Not to mention being obvious as f*** given what has been shown.

Because Inhuman craves for negative reactions:
