I was kidding. DC movies are shit. Zack Snyder is becoming more and more of a hack with each new film.

That’s a bit premature.

Not disagreeing, but I really liked his take on Watchmen.
He took the comic, as it was, and put it on a cinema screen - although I know I’m maybe in the minority in holding this viewpoint

Almost my thoughts to a T. to quote myself in another BvS article:

Exactly. The DCAU’s “World’s Finest” nailed this idea. And in “Kingdom Come”, Superman didn’t leave the world behind, the world left him.

I have no issues with it being serious or dark. I actually like that is is serious. I just find that Snyder does not really understand what “dark” means. Batman does not need to go out of his way to murder people or wield a gun for it to be dark. A lot of the “dark” content in this film is great.

Aside from Pa Kent, I…

exactly... the movie is considered bad not because its different or too dark, but because its bad with poor pacing and poor motivations

I love what you said here and maybe I am splitting hairs but the problem with superman isn’t his narcissism, he’s narcissistic in many other mediums. Kingdom Come comes to mind....sorry for the pun. However Snyder’s Superman lacks the inflexible principles that make superman the boy scout. That superman struggles to…

Because while the characters change and evolve over time they tend to keep certain traits, or at least grow in an organic way. The versions presented in BvS are huge leaps. And actually when that has happened in Marvel movies people have complained. Mandarin for instance.

We do not mind changes that makes sense and…

Yeah I didn’t understand that about this review at all. It seemed to want to say that Batman was good because it was different from Marvel superhero movies. But it was no different from DC superhero movies. It’s like arguing the new Apple iphone is good because it’s different from any andriod that has come before. It…

I loved the Dark Knight. Its narrative falls apart a little bit at the end, but the first hour and a half to two hours of the movie is really, really solid. The issue is that it’s a well-edited movie that makes its point without beating you over the head with it. It meanders a bit towards the end, but up until that…

Clinically speaking, we refer to this as “Episode One Syndrome”. Treatment is different for everyone, but it generally passes with enough time.

That line immediately left me taking everything else I read as satire...and then it seemed it was actually being serious and I didn’t know what to believe anymore.

Honestly it really does feel that way.

DC/WB tends to miss the point of why things are successful though. A lot. They have one thing successful and they try and turn everything into that.

Injustice would make an awesome movie...if you have the regular versions of these characters and identify it as a separate…

I feel about Ang Lee’s Hulk the same way this dude feels about BvS. It’s a suitable superhero film that strives to go deeper and that teensy bit of originality makes it worth it. The failure was in the execution of the actual superhero parts of the movie, like the obligatory fight at the end which everyone demands but…

Hell, I liked Ang Lee’s Hulk, and I still would spittake if anyone tried claiming it was a “classic.”

That’s true, especially during the first act of Jessica Jones. However as the season went on, jokes faded in favor of visual horror. Same can be said for Daredevil for the most part.

The criticism of Marvel’s house style is more or less on point. But it seems absurd to level the criticism that everything is too funny when Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies brooded their way to a giant haul of cash at around the same time that the Marvel approach came together. BvS is not daring to be different;…

My big problem is not that these representations of these characters are bad per se; but that they are not the ones that really should part of their main canon. They would make a great sorta “Elseworld” telling after we have a number of movies under our belt. It actually felt like a better setup for something like…

“Ang Lee’s Hulk, a forgotten classic”
