Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Well it looks like the tears are back but instead of anger there's disinterest. What's up with that?

I'd still give the movie a 6/10 even though I'm a fan of over the top destruction porn and Bat-Punisher. Batfleck and Gadot surprisingly not sucking are what bump my score up from 5 to 6 so there's that. 😐

If Snyder said Superman did not kill War Lord then he didnt kill anyone. As confusing as that scene was.

Superman pushed him through a wall and I saw it. I remembered thinking wtf Superman murdered that guy. A number of other posters andmovie reviewers pointed out they saw the same scene. OF course he died. Zack Snyder can say what he wants but that implies the guy got push through a cinderblock wall. He made that scene to look cool and now he's covering his ass by claiming the guy didn't. This Superman towed a ship; how would that warlord even survive such blunt attack? He neck would have snapped and his head bashed when Supes push him through that wall.

Watching the nostalgia critic and angry joe crossover review...

Why did no one mention before that BvS's box office drop surpassed Batman & Robin's after the first week? That means more people must've went to go rewatch Batman & Robin during its theatrical release than BvS. 😱 That... should speak for itself.
...... Suit me up uncle Alfred.

Well Batman & Robin didn't have to deal with Rotten Tomatoes scores and had a far less picky audience that would go into the film comparing it to Marvel.

Yep. Doesn't say a whole lot really. Batman and Robin came out over two decades ago. The box office was a whole different beast back then.

Yeah, there's a bit more quality control now than there was back then, I get that (and I'm not calling Synder the new age Joel Schumacher or anything, though in some respects he may as well be considered that), but still, it's pretty bad.

It could have been Supes fists going through the wall first.

That would mean Superman's head would have slammed into the guys chest or face and still killed him. A headbutt from Superman would likely kill a person. He fly at him fast enough so the guy won't have time to shot Lois. If its enough force to punch himself through a wall at that speed, it is enough to kill a person standing in his way.

Couldn't he go fist first with one hand, while dragging the war lord with the other hand?

Also was there a non-lethal way to resolve that situation? As far as I can tell it was either bull rush him at super speed or to blast him with Heat Vision (this isn't the all perfect can do anything comic book Supes yet).

If it wasn't Supes and it was a police officer, and he had a clean shot to the criminal's head, would they not take it? So either way whether the War Lord lived or not, it's definitely not considered "murder."

He could have simply snatched the gun out of his hand before he could react.

Two decades ago we were still able to enjoy a movie & not criticise it to death.

We've grown weary & more cynical with the advancement of social media.

So basically he'd be doing a DOFP Quicksilver by walking up to him, moving the gun and pushing him out of the way before the gunman can even think.

Don't think he's displayed anything like that yet in terms of speed abilities.

So far this Supes only loses his anger when those he loves is in danger.
Lois' nod to him was both "yes,I'm ready for whatever you're about to do" & also a "yes, go ahead & kill this guy holding a gun to my head."

All too true, sadly. If any of the well received comic films from back then (Batman '89 and such) were only released today, can you imagine how they'd all be nitpicked to hell now?

Yep, Batman '89 was also a "murderer."

I'm not saying I'm innocent. I've given my share of opinions & argued them to death over the years.

Even 5 minutes into BVS, I already was composing in my head my own "review" & mentally preparing myself to be critical on the message boards.
Sadly I did find that distracting me to just simply enjoy the movie .

One could argue Keaton was just a bit careless with his actions. 😛

He could have. We will see what actually happens once we get got copy of that scene to slow down the frames.
