I gotta go write, but last things I'll say about seeing #BatmanvSuperman. (Personally, I was happy.)

1. If you loved Man of Steel, you'll love BvS
2. If you loved Man of Steel, but not the end -- BvS may redeem that.
3. If you hated Man of Steel and the whole grim/dark thing, okay, probably not for you.
4. Wonder Woman is fearsome.
5. There's a moment between Batman & Superman that'll make even the most cynical eye tear-up
6. Fan will have a lot to discuss (and fight over.)


quote:

Today, EW's latest issue is focusing on Zack Snyder's superhero gladiator match and says---

"Nobody In This Film Is Pulling Any Punches...Beneath the action set pieces is an intricate tale of hidden agendas, psychological turmoil, and even some complex theological questions- plus alot of smashing. "

EW adds that although much of the film is devoted to Henry Cavill's Superman and Ben Affleck's Batman, Dawn of Justice is also very much a Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) origin story. They also echo the sentiment that most early screeners have shared, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman steals the show in her supporting role.




Has several more tweets if you'd like to hear more

I'm tearing up right now just thinking about it. It's probably like the end of The Dark Knight Returns fight. Superman showed that he cares for Bruce.

Getting more excited everyday for this movie.

Even for Batman? Batman is suppose to be grim/dark. I can understand not liking Superman in the setting.

I liked Man of Steel more than most on this board, so maybe I won't hate this movie too much.

I wonder if this will affect the middling critic response like MoS.

This has been obvious all along.

man of steel is excellent. i've never cared for any of the superman films but that one got me.

More people liked Man of Steel than want to say so on this board. I think most just wanted to stay out of the battles.

I loved it, and so did most of my friends. I will say that none of us are superman fans thou. Growing up, I actually never cared for the character much.

You can go to other boards and find more balanced likes vs dislikes. On some boards the likes are the majority.

Comic book or Superman boards are the worst, because most big fans have a very specific Superman in mind.

I honestly think it's more hate for Superman himself than the actual movie itself. Just people trying to be hip and edgy.

frickers.
