Batman vs superman. Worth a watch or don't bother?

Worth the watch

Sloppy but entertaining

Got a thread I just started this morning after watching the extended cut. Still first page I think.

I think it's worth it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll rent it

Terrible movie but it's batman vs superman so you have to watch it at least once

It's awful. Truly awful and I think it's a very very bad sign that people found it enjoyable. I don't blame them but I think it's bad that we can let such low quality get encouraged. There might have been some interesting aspects of the film, but there was so much innthebapproach and the execution that is simply unacceptable.

Pretty much this.

What the hell? We don't have to like the same movies, or have the same taste in clothing or food either for that matter, but if you like something that I don't, I don't have the arrogance to say "that's a very very bad sign".

It's the first live-action film combining Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. The special effects are top notch, just as good as any Marvel film.

Ben Affleck's Batman is as good as Chris Evans' Captain America or Michael Fassbender's Magneto. Dark, brooding, unhappy with the way the world is, and doing things about it.

Henry Cavill's Superman is as powered up as Chris Hemsworth's Thor, he looks exactly as he should (well, technically minus the red pants), and his relationship with Lois is no worse than, maybe a little better than, Thor's with Jane.

Gal Gadot's Diana Prince is as intriguing as Black Widow undercover, and when she unleashes, is just as impressive as any superhero we've seen on film.

The overall plot is not any more farfetched than CA: Civil War. If anything, we see probably a more realistic angle; the opposition to a superpowered figure is not some super-secret evil organization or forces from another world, it's public and government apprehension about someone who, if he so chooses, can act without consequence.
Both Luthor's and Wayne's motivations are completely believable, and given the immense resources they have (both are right on par with Tony Stark financially, who foots the Avengers' tab), anything that either come up with, is no more outrageous than anything we see from Stark or Xavier.

Nothing from this film is any more far-fetched than watching three flying aircraft carriers lift off from hangers in the Potomac, in the middle of D.C. No plot device is more bizzare than rewriting the Cuban Missile Crisis into an anti-mutant armageddon, or having someone transport RFK Stadium smack-dab onto the White House lawn.

edit to add: nothing in this film is any less believable than some bizarre madman walling off an entire city and taking it hostage with a nuke, or a super-secret agency of assassins plotting mass genocide by unleashing a fear gas and releasing the criminally insane, either.

It wasn't the movie you imagined it would be. That can be aggravating at times, sure; but this is not a movie from a single novel. There are lots of comics with these characters, and some are just like in the film, some are darker, some are lighter.

etc....

Amen.

I enjoyed it

I mean, its garbage. If you want to watch it, you deserve to suffer through it like I did. As far as the movie itself is concerned, I think it may be the worst theater experience I've ever had.
