I think it’s amazing no one has noticed that stuff like this has always happened with funny book movies.
Almost 40 years ago, Donner was replaced by Richard Lester, after he shot 2/3’s of “Superman II.”
If the internet existed back then, that movie would have been ripped-apart by bloggers. But, you know what, I never knew how troubled that production was until the Donner Cut was announced. To this day I still prefer the Theatrical Cut even, because I’m so used to it while growing up.
Maybe the internet tells us a little too much on these productions and we should just dial it down a tad. Just disregard the disregardable as one would say.
If it was 1980, we would be calling Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder scabs for going back into production after Donner was ousted. Even Gene Hackman had the scruples not to return to shooting after. We would be taking digs on the mad-cap reshoot scenes as well (that roller-skating haunts me worst than bat nipples.)
Personally, I don’t really care about all these film troubles as it’s almost an omen (Donner-natch,) to how the film is going to turn out. Let the finished movie speak for itself after it’s issues Gone With the Wind, Titanic, for example. Plus, it’s all about personal taste too.
Some can watch BvS and see a “Dark Knight” quality movie and others might want more of a BvS in a Dark Night movie.
