How is it Batman V? More like Superman VI or Batman IX.

This movie is good. It would've been better served by not having to introduce the rest of the Justice League (versus starting with standalones) but it does a solid job of having to do all that heavy lifting.

I enjoy it. Watching the Ultimate edition now. This is better than the MCU movies from the same year.

I’m in the actually kinda liked this one side. Felt like it at least took more chances than some of the Marvel works of that time. Even though some parts definitely failed considerably.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I have not. It's been so long I probably wouldn't catch the differences.

It’s a bit long, but still the better version.

It clarifies the muddled plot, but many of the problems are still there.

This movie has a lot going for it but it suffers tremendously from too much plot and some pretty atrocious writing.

And the "Martha" scene was just a bad idea from the get.

Still Anders is right about its ambitions and how it compares to the MCU films from the same period

I dont know why people say it's less safe than Marvel or takes risks. It's pretty standard dark and gritty garbage.

Just finished it. Not sure it will make the top ten of 2016, but it’s really good.
