Yessssss, Armond White just dropped his rave review (as I expected he would). I'm almost as excited to read his review as I am to see the movie.

Re: Movie: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
having not seen the movie but having read a ton of reviews he is the first critic ive seen argue thar snyder actually nails the themes he was aiming for. but he is wrong on the nolan stuff and is such an insufferable asshole in his writing. he will adore snyder's fountainhead, i have ni doubt.

I only skimmed the review to avoid spoilers but he was pretty off on Snyder having superheroes fight as somehow being different since its a long established comic book troupe that when two heroes meet there is a misunderstanding...they fight...realize they are on the same side...then team up to fight the real villain. Its comics 101. It's such a cliche it sets eyes rolling. It's the perfunctory issue you have to get through to get to the real story. Then saying Nolan's Batman was enjoyed because it matches the comics is even farther off. Its the opposite really.

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.

He shouldn't be sad. The movie will be massively successful regardless, and pretty much every review has singled him out as a highlight.
