I mean....I do. I'm far more interested in a good plot than I am special effects, if that's what you're getting at. To me that's what distinguishes the really good comic movies (like The Dark Knight, for example) from all the other comic retreads that get made and remade every other year. I'm not interested in comic book movies simply because they're comic books movies.
Check out this "chronological" supercut of all trailers. Not bad at all. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uMBYddT8gi8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
There looks to be a some really interesting ideas in this movie but am just wondering about the execution. Man of Steel explored some great ideas but it just dragged and got to hokey at times. I'm also wondering how they are working in Wonder Woman. It looks like she is going to have more of a role than just an add on so we can get to the Justice League movie. It looks like her character might actually be involved in the lead up to the showdown with Doomsday.
It looks like the fight with doomsday will be kind of boring like the long fight at the end of Man of Steel. Superpowerful people shooting rays at each other and hitting each other over and over, destroying whole cities, etc.
After the breakaway success of Star Wars, I would hope more studios would take that approach to trailers. Lots of hype, little on the plot. Instead we continue to get little mini movies from the studios. It's Batman and Superman, it sells itself.
Unless it doesn't and the most expensive movie ever made flops simultaneously destroying perhaps the two most valuable comic book characters in existence.
That's a weird thing to roll your eyes about. First, DC has 2 scheduled per year going forward but Marvel has been putting out way more movies in the last several years. If the poster you were responding to is sick of Marvel movies, he's sick of ones that have already happened not ones that are scheduled for the future. And Spiderman being from a different studio doesn't mean anything to casual or even moderate or even major fans. Spiderman is a Marvel Comics character. Comics fans are loyal to labels (Marvel and DC mostly) not to studios. Sorry seclusion, but this was a silly post.
According to people in the know, Doomsday is not the big surprise twist in the movie and as such they weren't worried about revealing him. The movie is 2.5 hours long and everyone involved swears the trailers have not released the juicy stuff. We all knew Batman was going to fight Superman. We all knew Wonder Woman was in it. All they've revealed is Doomsday and apparently he's only the beginning of the third act. WB was rumored to be worried because the script from Chris Terrio (Argo) was supposedly too smart and the movie was too good to be a blockbuster. That would have been a good problem to have but the rumor has been thoroughly debunked. Everyone from DC Comics to WB, Affleck, Snyder, Gadot, Cavill, Eisenberg (not a comics fan but a huge fan of the film), and Irons is very bullish on this movie. So are super-fans that have seen it, like Kevin Smith. I'm very hard on superhero movies. As a lifelong comics fan I'm very hard to please. But I have NEVER seen Batman fight live-action like he did in the final trailer and it was a beautiful thing to see. And I am pleased by the reports of the complexity of the film. I haven't been this excited by a movie (superhero or not) since 1989's Batman, the first modern Batman movie, by which I was highly disappointed. In fact the only superhero movies I have totally loved have been The Dark Knight, Superman ('78) and Superman II. I truly believe this one is going to leave them all in the dust.
Do you have any idea on the suprise twist or villain at the end? I figured it wouldn't be Doomsday. It needs to be something bigger.
There is no way this movie can be worse than Age of Ultron even if the ten minutes of footage released so far are the best ten minutes of the film. It's crazy to me how critical people are of this movie when Marvel has been given a pass for AoU and the second Thor movie. I feel like the hipster crowd has just decided they hate anything DC unless Nolan is attached to it
Have heard from my Hollywood sauce that if this movie is critically panned (and early screenings weren't so good) then Zach Snyder will be out. So it might be best if that's what happens.
