take it to the force awakens thread
Are you saying this heapa bantha poodoo was better than force awakens?
lol well considering this is one of the best movies I've ever seen and TFA was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, I'd say that's a safe bet
Force awakens has a few movie making problems. It doesn't have any Star Wars problems. Prequels were riddled with Star Wars problems. Force Awakens was pure Star Wars.
BvS suffers from fatal movie making and storytelling problems. Every main structure in basic filmmaking is catastrophically unsound here. It's a disaster unfolding as you watch. Like a simple bridge that should have opened and been beautiful and the pride of the people of the town it's in, crumbling and disintegrating on opening day, with everyone watching.
The fall off for second week numbers is already down over 50%.
I don't get how they could screw this film up. Should have been so easy to make a brilliant and interesting and action packed batman v superman film. This film is an atrocity. Hope the Deadpool effect comes into play and they make the follow ups do less with more money.

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 keep meaning to go into threads I have no interest in and tell everyone I have no interest in the subject but I always forget because I have no interest.

what a groundbreaking opinion
I'm with LV. Fuck that noise.
Sheesh, wasn't trying to break new ground. I don't keep up with this thread, but had a conversation with a friend yesterday about how we'd be excited for a Superman movie that was lighthearted and fun. Just thought I'd share and see if anyone felt similarly.
I am sorry trag, hate for this movie has me on edge
