Unfortunately for Snyder, the viewing public has moved on from there and his style is no longer as popular. Seems like he's become the new Michael Bay, the guy with the dynamic style critics love to dump on. I still like watching Michael Bay movies, too.

I thought it was epic but then batman begins came along and it was king. Then BVS with Batman saving Martha is one of the best action super hero scenes. It’s everyrhing I’ve read in batman comics/video games come to life is it enough to save that movie, maybe not but I put that an age of ultron in the same category. Not great but fun to watch (see iron man vs hulk) Age of Ultron go 82 rotten compared to 241 fresh. Doesn't Justice League already have more rotten (88). I was hoping for an ok C- based on the previews but it looks like even that is optimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyder's Man of Steel was decent and it looked like a good starting point for the DC Universe, than Affleck came on board and everything focused on him it seems. What I am getting at is they just had Snyder's vision at first than by adding Affleck that made DC have two visions, and sometimes it is no good having too many chefs running the kitchen. I don't think it was Affleck. Don't forget a key difference between Man of Steel and the other DCEU -- Man of Steel was overseen by Nolan. For that matter, tons of folks either don't know or have forgotten Snyder's influence on Wonder Woman -- he was credited with writing the story.

fantastic_four Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 They've put the consensus up now. Quote Justice League leaps over a number of DC movies, but its single bound isn't enough to shed the murky aesthetic, thin characters, and chaotic action that continue to dog the franchise.

Nah I like Affleck just not as Batman. He looks not happy.You can tell he is miserable playing the part. Time to move on from Snyder and him as BvS has tarnished the DC brand and Snyder and Affleck were a big part of BvS. It's like in baseball if the manager and gm are not successful than after awhile you replace them. Snyder`'s been at this DC thing for what 5 plus years? As I said I was thinking 60-70 RT score,plus I figured the goodwill from Wonder Woman would have been a factor with a more positive score. I guess I was totally wrong on being so optimistic with the critics. Edited November 16, 2017 by ComicConnoisseur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatsby77 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hey - if the 40% positive score holds, it means that 50% more critics liked it than did Batman v. Superman. Progress! paperheart and ComicConnoisseur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great but fun to watch (see iron man vs hulk) Take Luthor and Doomsday out of BVS and you have a good movie. Unfortunately, those two kill the film for me. But you are right about that Batman scene - one of the finest actions sequences committed to film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwoogieman Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Quality and critical acclaim are not really factors for the DC movies, as we've seen time and again with poorly reviewed films earning tremendous amounts of revenue. So what's the difference anyway when the reviews are posted or what the 'score' is? Bottom line, the movies are cash cows and more of them are coming, critics be damned. comicjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t care about critics or box office or how much advertising cost. Thank God I haven’t changed in that aspect. Yeah, I miss the 80's when going to a matinee cost you under $5. Now, take a family with you and it is closer to $100. At these prices, that film you see better be good. ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillax23 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I am still pumped to see this movie - and will make my own judgment on it (as I really enjoyed MOS, BvS and WW (not so much Suicide Squad)). On the plus side if it is not well received perhaps BB28 will drop in price so I can scoop one up ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Ben first got the gig I was one of his biggest defenders. He just doesn't seem right. Maybe the costume? It looks kind of heavy and bulky? .
