BvS: Dawn of Justice (Spoilers Possible)

Released on digital today and I decided to give the extended cut a shot. I didn't see this in theaters. Never got the chance. Plus I fricking hated Man of Steel. I don't like Superman.
That being said - this movie was good. I have no clue why it's gotten shite on like it's the second coming of that shitastic Fantastic Four movie. It is nowhere near that realm of awfulness. It's not awful at all. I thought it was really fricking good.
Affleck is great as both Wayne and Batman. Gadot is hot and a strong Diana. Both gave very good performances.
A few of the criticisms I remember reading:
Batman uses guns - so? This is an older, jaded Bat. He's obviously been through the events of the Red Hood or some similar shite. It has taken a toll on him and changed his philosophy and approach to crime fighting. This is understandable and makes sense.
"Your mother is Martha, too? Duuuuuude." - this was not as cheesy and stupid as the haters made it out to be. I expected some ridiculous moment that was completely unbelievable, but instead I got it. It was a moment that made sense to me and it felt real to me.
I can't recall the other criticisms, but those two I know I saw a lot.
Nothing felt rushed or out of sync. Maybe this was a problem in the theatrical cut, but I didn't have any problems with these in the extended cut. The whole thing flowed really well.
I'm still not happy about Grant Gustin not being The Flash in this universe, but I get the problems that could arise from trying to blend those universes together.
This movie was a surprise to me after all the flack it caught. I loved it and I'm. Now super excited about this cinematic universe. Can't wait for WW and SS and the rest of the JL movies.

Lol, why even knight for this...

Extended version is better
Yes Breesus,. Lex still sucks

Is it knighting to have a positive opinion? I'm not going to throw myself on my sword for it, but it was a good movie. Definitely not a shite stain.
But yeah Lex was pretty annoying. Not sure why they made him all Joker-like-psycho. He's supposed to be more of a mad genius type. Not Mark Zuckerburg with a psycho mean streak.

Movie is a shite-show at best.
Posted on 6/28/16 at 12:28 pm to Wanderin Reb
One of the few movies I can say would be better with less and not more.
Also, you killed superman you counts

Gadot is hot and a strong Diana.
While she isn't bad looking, she has the body of a 14 year old girl that just got her first training bra. Nothing about her exudes strength. She looks like her leg might snap in half it's so frail looking, just from walking, although it doesn't have to hold up any weight since she only weighs like 100lbs as a 5'10 woman.
And i like Gadot, but they should have picked a woman that looked more like the real wonder woman, with actual tits.
Casting Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is like casting DJ Qualls as Batman

Batman's killed in other movies as well. The meltdown was amusing to see.

The extended cut was a much better film than the theatrical release.
Posted on 6/28/16 at 1:30 pm to Wanderin Reb
The Collider guys really liked this new extended cut. John Schnepp, who bashed this film, say's he likes this new version.
Posted on 6/28/16 at 1:36 pm to RLDSC FAN
Yeah. I never watched the theatrical version, so maybe it warranted the bashing. The extended cut is a fun superhero movie though.

I was just reading Collider's review. After reading it, I'm actually going to watch the extended cut. I love these character so I'm a sucker. The movie has so many issues, but if the extended but can bring it from a C- to a B- that is a big improvement. It still boggles my mind that Synder would make around a 3 1/2 hour when he knew he only had 2 1/2 hours. Why force an incomplete story when you know the expected running time?

I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion, but.....

Makes little sense. They doubled down on MoS, rather than fixing it. It had a TON of the same problems, a terrible version of Superman, plot points rather than characters, a dark for dark's sake tone, and lots of emo tonal shifts thrown in.
It did have a few good editions, Batman and WW, but a worse villain.
I very much disliked MoS ("f-ing hated" is too strong imo), but this movie did absolutely nothing to change my opinion of the MoS world, nor did I think it had any evidence of TRYING to change the world it presented.
Again, to each his own, but I just don't see this. It was an even worse film because it just exacerbated nearly every problem in MoS, which I really didn't think was possible given the reaction to MoS.
However, maybe the extended is vastly different, I have not seen it.

why do we expect Batman and Superman to be fit muscular looking actors, but we get a stick figure for Wonder Woman?
Posted on 6/28/16 at 2:12 pm to TeddyPadillac
You have a strange image in your head of a 14 year old girl. If she looked like she did in Fast and Furious I would agree...but she doesn't.

She's the hottest women on this planet

Did they explain why Lex blew up the Capitol Building? I feel like that would have helped a great deal.
