Can't be worse than Supes vs Batfleck.
Also, I want to watch that documentary.

There really isn't any love for the recent films (aside from me) in this thread, is there? Never mind, I have hope. Wait and see, wait and see. Mark

Jon Peters had/has always been notorious. I'd take Tim Burton's attempt over Snyder's too. At the very least it would have been laughable. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

 Heroic Accountability: Zach Snyder And Ben Affleck Discuss Consequences Of 'Man of Steel' Ending http://sciencefiction.com/2015/07/06/he ... el-ending/ | | | | Quote: Director Zack Snyder...
“I was surprised because that’s the thesis of Superman for me, that you can’t just have superheroes knock around and have there be no consequences…There are other superhero movies where they joke about how basically no one’s getting hurt,. That’s not us. What is that message? That’s it’s okay that there’s this massive destruction with zero consequence for anyone? That’s what Watchmen was about in a lot of ways too. There was a scene, that scene where Dan and Laurie get mugged. They beat up the criminals. I was like the first guy, I want to show his arm get broken. I want a compound fracture. I don’t want it to be clean. I want you to go, ‘Oh my God, I guess you’re right. If you just beat up a guy in an alley he’s not going to just be lying on the ground. It’s going to be messy.”
Which is fine to say now, but ‘Man of Steel’ came out years ago, and after the destruction of a good chunk of Metropolis and the potential deaths of thousands of people, the wrap up of the movie had no scenes depicting Superman or the world dealing with the fall-out. Superman kissed Lois Lane, trashed a satellite to scare the military, and then set up shop as Clark Kent in a suddenly rebuilt Daily Planet building, and it seemed all was right in the world. And then a few years later, after all the complaints from fans about the carnage, Snyder says it was all part of a plan leading into ‘Dawn of Justice.” Suspicious? Yes, but also somewhat brilliant, especially if he pulls it off. | | | | |
It was so bad I didn't even catch on to the Daily Planet bit  , and I don't even remember the satellite scene. It's actually just turned up on Prime, but I can't bring myself to watch it even for the hilarious Costner moments. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Henry Cavill on If We Can Expect More 'Man of Steel' Movies — Latino-Review.com http://www.latino-review.com/news/henry ... eel-moviesI want a good Superman movie so much I hadn't even realised WB didn't announce a new one yet. Because it's not likely to come from them in the next five years, maybe even a decade or more. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I tried to reply last night but ipad wasn't responding. Nicholas Cage just looked silly. He looks washed out/pale and the long hair doesn't do him any favours. Almost looks like a bad spoof of the action heroes in the 90s.

http://news.toyark.com/2015/07/11/sdcc- ... ges-169235The armoured one looks OK, but the rest are almost as bad as the previous figures that were shown.

BvS - there are some good bits, not so good bits and some confusing bits. Part of me is excited and part of me dreads that it'll be just like MoS.

I can't get past how Snyder thinks you need dialogue that treats you like an idiot. And then, apparently once again, gives Superman nothing to say... It's a superhero movie, there's no friggin' need to dumb it down! If I had to guess, pretty much all the action scenes are from the last half hour+ with a sh1tload of navel-gazing and camp little Luthor beforehand. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Seen a meme where the lack of a neck for Bats is him being prepared against the neck-snapping Supes.
