I liked it. I think they set up a good premise for why they would fight and also how Wonder Woman integrated into the story. I can see where some people would have faults with it, but I over all enjoyed it.

I disagree completely, I don't understand why Superman would fight batman
to get his mom back when he can hear Lois Lane and save her on another continent but cannot hear his own mom when she is kidnapped, get real! Also Superman would not just let Lex Luthor go, he would grab him and tie him up so he could not get away before going to fight batman, ridiculous.

this movie is a 6/10 max.

I had to do a sanity check....

BvS is currently @ 29%

Tranformers: AoE is @ 18% and made 1.1 billion...so I guess there's still a chance.

The Ben Affleck backlash was stupid in the first place. He's a great actor.

he is an okay actor, but i think a lot of it was because how terrible dare devil was. he also has never had a "tough guy" role where he stood out, if anything at all.

everyone i have heard talk about him in batman and superman though was that he did a great job.

Maybe people like him because the rest of the movie sucks so hard.

I'll be seeing this next week. I think Affleck is a competent actor just not an especially good one. If his character here has the typical affectless role that seems to be the rule for this sort of movie, that's not a hard thing to master. So of course he's going to seem like he did a great job.

I'll be interested to see if he has any scenes where he has to demonstrate any actual emotion.

I just watched it.. it's possibly the stupidest movie I've seen in quite some time. There's so much wrong with it.

I'm really confused how Batman just drops his whole beef. "Your mom's name is Martha? My mom's name is Martha!! What was I thinking, best friends forever!!!"

Well it was kind of sudden and not entirely obvious, but the thing is he had visions related to it, and realized that Superman was more human than he thought (because he loved his mom and was willing to do anything to save her). It really had nothing to do with the name itself, but until he told him she was his mom he wanted to know how he knew his (bruce's) moms name.

I am giving this movie a 6/10. I am very disappointed. And this movie confirms my favor to the Marvel Studios Universe (not so much the xmen and FF stuff).

The action is fine, actually very good it's the set up to the action that is clumsy.

Also it's cut down from 3 hours to 2.5 hours.

I'm willing to entertain the idea that the 3 hour cut forms a more cohesive story that sets up the action in a less clumsy manner.

When I first saw the trailer my initial reaction was "uh oh...looks like a total shitshow". Unfortunately the reviews and people I've talked to seem to agree with that original assessment. Looks good financially though lol.

Going to watch it this afternoon though, probably with at least three drinks in me.

Okay..for those who have seen it. How does it compare to Man of Steel? How does it compare to Daredevil (movie)?

I must have zoned out, the only visions I remember him having were all the "Superman is going to kill us all unless you stop him" type. The closest to normal was when the Flash was breaking through the time barrier (I think that is how that could go?) and was telling him he was right about "him". Even that lead us and him to believe that Superman must be killed. The moment he changed and became BFFs was really bad. He literally just went from about to using the magic spear to suddenly teaming up. No explanation, no real overcoming whatever.

Naa you didn't zone out that bad, that was some seriously bad writing.

But I don't expect much from Goyer personally.

Depends on what you thought of both of those movies, Daredevil is complete crap, MoS is just meh crap. I'd put it closer to MoS.
