The only one I've really liked out of the entire genre of superhero movies is Guardians of the Galaxy. It felt like a Comic to me which I prefer as opposed to the "real life" they try to put in most Superhero movies. But then again I also liked Batman and Robin, the first Batman and the Original Batman (West). Again they all had more of a comic book feel.
The rest were ok. I can't even watch avengers. It's like more of a drama then an action flick in my opinion. |

All those bad / negative reviews out there for the movie??? .....they're MUCH too kind. Pointless drivel with a sad nothing of a plot line. Villians that are just annoying. Flashbacks that are just stupid. Even Wonder Woman was boring.
Go if your just curious but bring a pillow so your nap will be comfortable. |

It sucked. I can't believe they are letting that fuck, affleck have his own movie. I will watch WW and Superman movies as stand alones, but I'm done with anymore DC movies. I just can't stand that dickless, takes it in the ass, affleck.

I was disappointed in this movie, I thought it wasn't great at all.
DC tried way too hard to make their own Ironman. Ben Afflek I thought wasn't great either, but that's just my opinion. Apparently he's going to have a stand alone movie, I'm not saving the date to see it. |

I didn't think it was as bad as the reviews made it out to be.
I hate Ben Affleck, for the record. I also hate Ryan Reynolds but I enjoyed the hell out of Deadpool. It's a reasonably enjoyable 2 hours. I came to the movie with pretty low expectations and left satisfied. |

It was fine pretty much sums it up.
Its got probably the least accurate Batman ever... but a pretty darn good Bruce Wane and Alfred. Superman is a tortured soul who's less powerful than previous Superman portrayals. Which is in keeping with the less powerful superman we got in Man of Steel. I think most of the criticism of this and the most recent Superman movie stems from people not realizing this Superman isn't as powerful as the previous versions. Previous versions would have been able to stop certain things... this one can't. The fight scenes and visuals are outstanding. |

I actually really liked it and most everyone I know did too. *shrug* I enjoyed it; heaven help me, I even couldn't find much bad to say about Aflack's Batman persona. He portrayed Bruce Wayne as jaded and tired and kind of cranky, which was the idea, I thought. There have been a few times in my memory where the divergence between what critics had to say and my reaction has been this large. The other time that springs to mind was the original Stargate movie, with Kurt Russell and Spader. Siskel and Ebert were all, "They wanted to blow them up with a nuke!" re: the plan to send a small nuke through the Stargate in the event that the aliens proved to be a danger to Earth. Two thumbs down. I loved the movie; enough that I bought two different DVD/Blu-Ray versions. You'll only know if you go and see for yourself. |

And in this one he's pretty much figured that out but doesn't have the superspeed that would have allowed him to not kill even his opponents in the past. In this... he doesn't have the option of just blocking the bullet and thus can't not kill and can't prevent certain tragedies. And his inability to save everyone weighs on him heavily. |

I went in with low expectations and was very pleased that it was better. It's a comic movie. Take it for what it is. Truthfully, they got an aweful lot close to the orginal Frank Miller story. Also, for someone who spent many a pubescent night pining for Linda Carter i think they did a good job casting Wonder Woman. While Gal Gadot wasn't terrible, she'll always be a stick figure. An Amazonian warrior princess doesn't weigh 90 lbs. Hence my penchant for buxom brunettes!

I liked it, however I won't argue with anyone who didn't. The goal of this movie wasn't to tell a story of Batman v Superman, it was to set up a movie franchise and DC's universe. For that, I am very excited because there were a lot of interesting teasers to future events. However this movie has a lot of flaws.
The downfall to this movie was just trying to cram in too many different storylines, and in spots is just gets a little disjointed. It's a Man Of Steel sequel, a Batman movie, and a movie about the social impact of having a Superman in public, along with a Justice League setup. DC is made an attempt to go straight from Man Of Steel to Justice League without setup movies for all the individual characters which was too much without making a 4 hour movie. Zach Snyder isn't that great of a director, but he does a fantastic job incorporating comic panel frames into live action movies. BvS is full of them, just like he did in Watchmen (which has a lot of the same flaws as BvS). Visually it makes for an impressive movie, but the direction isn't great. I came away more excited to see where they take the franchise than I did this anything that happened in this movie. |

Denny O'Neil was a great Batman writer (and the one who actually brought the character out of the campy '60s), but he was never able to write a good Superman story. It was the same with Marv Wolfman (New Teen Titans), he could do wonders with the street level heroes like Nightwing, but fizzed out writing Superman. But, you give people like Grant Morrison, Alan Moore, Mark MIllar, Mark Waid, and Kurt Busiek a shot to write a Superman story and they excel at it. |
