People complained about Age of Ultron, but at least that movie was fun as hell to watch and still kept the heroes in character. This movie however bored me. It's not Fantastic 4 levels of bad, but it's not that good either.
Oh god no BvS is terrible but Fantastic not getting a clever shitty title from me movie is the shittest thing since WW2
I liked BvS
+AshXXMayftw just because BvS it terrible doesn't automatically make Age of ultron any better. it's still garbage.
8th wonder of the world
Sorry, but to me Ultron was still a blast to watch, while this movie was just terrible.
***** but you saying because this movie is bad everyone can't critise AoU anymore. some of your points you say about the movie i don't agree with either. are banner and widow in character when they suddenly have romantic feelings for each other for no explained reason (it make lois and superman look lime romeo and fucking Juliet) is hawkeye in character when he suddenly brings the entire team of avengers to his home to meet his family. is ultron in character making stupid jokes about omelettes. only when i read comics or watch cartoons he was a cold, dark, calculating machine who was also a hell of alot stronger too.
then the generic avengers vs faceless army.
i personally prefer BvS
I am 100 percent curious if this film's script would have received a passing grade at any film school. This was seriously one of the worst stories I have ever come across in a movie, let alone a film that features DC's three biggest heroes in Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.
Too many moving parts. Nothing came together in cohesion. It felt like some director's wet dream in attempt at making an artsy film (an overload of dream sequences) instead of an exciting superhero flick. I came in realizing the critical consensus wasn't good, but I hoped beyond all hope that this movie would be somewhat OK. It wasn't.
+The 54th Deadline You know what is funny I had the same feeling as this guy as soon as the credits started everybody left the theater drained sitting through 2 and a half hours. No this would have gotten the screenwriter /editor/director thrown out of school what a mess this movie was how do you ruin batman, superman, and wonder woman in a movie have zack snyder involved in it :-(
joe b It broke a lot of movie rules in a bad way, like telling and not showing. For example, the part where it just glossed over Batman stealing the Kryptonite from Luthor's company without actually showing Batman doing it. Just seeing a batarang sticking out from the display case was absurdly lazy.
I think the movie would have been passable if it just had some action scenes sprinkled throughout the story. Now, I am not an action junkie or anything like that, nor would I think action scenes alone would have made the movie that much better... I just think the movie was horribly paced and pieced together. It was an artsy film with a superhero concept. Bad combination.
At least there's still Civil War to look forward to.
Yes thank god
Yes, I can't wait to see Spiderman to become a devil worshipper.
Arttu Lehmonen What?
TheJustin4848 Is everyone seriously so hyped up about Civil War that they have forgotten or just ignoring that it will eventually lead to One More Day?
+TheJustin4848 Oh man, I cant wait so DC fanboys will say that Marvel bought critics
I'm not a movie critic, I'm just someone who agrees with this entire video
That bullet thing made no sense. Why would Luthor give his mercenaries experimental bullets only his company can make? It just makes it easier for people to trace the plot back to him. It's not like regular guns and bullets are hard to get. And why would people even believe Superman was responsible for the massacre? Luthor's men killed the terrorists with guns. Superman doesn't use guns because he's Superman. So it should be obvious to everyone that another faction was involved. It would have made so much more sense if Luthor's troops used some kind of experimental lasers to make it look like Superman killed the terrorists.
Almost nothing in this movie made sense and Luthor is the worst.
I guess Luthor knows Bruce is Batman. But how was he able to perfectly manipulate Bruce into fighting Superman? Did he blow up the Capitol building just to push Batman into fighting Superman? How did he know that Batman would be able to build a robot suit and make those Kryptonite weapons? How did he know the exact time Batman would be ready to fight Superman so he could kidnap Martha to make Superman fight Batman? How did any of the Doomsday stuff make any sense at all? Did he think he could control it or was he just fine that Doomsday was going to kill the world?
+KingOfMadCows Every inch of the movie was dripping with baffling nonsense. I neglected to even mention the gun issue. Thank you for pointing it out.
***** I don't why Lex would give them custom bullets. What did they do that normal, less traceable bullets wouldn't have accomplished?
Yawn of Justice! Had no heart, no brain, and no courage to tell the story behind the characters. What a mess.
lmaooo
Personally, I thought it was pretty great. It definitely had some problems, but was overall a good movie. Also, do people realize that there is a batman solo movie that will be coming out? Everyone is complaining that batman kills people for no reason. What do you think the batman solo movie will explain? It would have been extremely strange for batman to explain why he is killing people to Alfred, who has been working with him throughout his career as Batman and was there for whatever event made batman start killing (probably the death of robin). Okay, rant over now!
+Tanner Tilkens I'm with the change but I completely understand why people hate the idea of batman killing people because it takes away from his character like on under the red hood Tim asked batman "why is the Joker still living , why didn't you kill him for taking me away from you" and batman says all I ever thought about was subjecting him to all the torture he's dealt to other then end him but that would make me like them and take me down into a darkness I won't come back from"
+Tanner Tilkens thank you for saying that
I shouldn’t have to wait for another movie to come out to explain the movie I’m currently watching.
That is the best summary I have heard yet. "Batman and Superman don't like each other, except then they do. Also Wonder Woman." Lol
Do you really think Snyder took Film 101? If you do I think you give both him and Hollywood too much credit.
+Gottfried Osterbach The weird thing is I know for a literal fact he did. He went to the same school as Michael Bay. This isn't even a joke either.
+GeekyGlassesTV Shots Fired LMAO
Since it looks like they're letting him direct JL, they should make him take it (again).
+GeekyGlassesTV Sounds like this movie went way over your head. For intelligent people that can connect the narrative this is a great film. Very subtle nuances, but you wouldn't understand the film just like most critics.
+Gottfried Osterbach The plot was a mess in the second half, but I thought the first half was pretty good. If you really listen to the dialogue in the movie was excellent. The Martha part was a bit ridiculous, but people are ignoring the terrific dialogue. Especially Bruce's monologue at the beginning which I thought was brilliant. I thought the characterizations of Superman and Batman were great and spot on. The problem was the story kept jumping to these other places instead of having a central focus.
The best review on this disaster of a film. No defined plot at all. Zack Snyder needs to be fired!!!
+Yohan IsraEL The plot was actually pretty well defined. Which part(s) did you have trouble understanding?
+Mike Omm marthaaaaaaaa
+Nickel Mgtow Lol. Yes sir
+Mike Omm I Understood Batman's stance, but the way they became friends. Martha?!?! No, not well done. Too choppy for me.
+Yohan IsraEL It had SO much more meaning than that. it's just apparently a lot of people can't think deeply anymore. It could have been a lot better, but that joke is rather dumb since people fail to comprehend the deeper meaning (which i thought was pretty clear)
Anyway they didn't become friends because they have the same mothers name. For one that name just made Batman have flashbacks and reminisce the past and remember what it felt like feeling lost and alienated in the world. So he understood how that feels and probably wouldnt want another person to have to experience what he had to and in the beginning half of the film you see how Batman views Superman as a threat and how the world views him as a god like being, but in that fight you see Superman having hit rock bottom and basically begging Batman for help. So Batman saw Superman in a different perspective. instead of as a threat he saw him as just a human, fighting and trying to do what he can to save his mother who he loves, which probably never occurred to Batman before, That Superman basically an all powerful being can be just as human and make mistakes as everyone else. It shined light on a new veiw point that probably never occurred to Batman before. So it's so much more than just they have the same mothers name
This is the straw that broke the camels back. I thought Snyder would learn from his mistakes BUT NO
+Sam Epic
Actually you can thank Chris Terrio(Argo guy) for this crap he rewrote the script and screenplay that's why it's so shit.
+navylaks2 So it was Terrio who directed and edited this too? He wrote the first draft? It was his vision? There is only so much you can do for a shit story. Specially the guy whose story is still in control of the project. They were still doing rewrites on set. Just shows you how much of a mess this movie was. A lot of it can be fixed from cutting its run time down by eliminating scenes that do nothing for the narrative you're trying to tell. None of that was on Terrio.
Jason Diend
Well Terrio didn't write Man of steel and that was a better movie
I think Wonder Woman and Batman are getting the Obi-Wan Prequel treatment. Everything in the movie is so bad that their 'not bad' looks amazing in comparison.
Batman v Superman?
more like
Ben Affleck v Man of Steel v Jok...i mean Lex v creature made by Mickel Bye v Wanda Woman
The down of justice
+Tom of Steel Why so serious?
He didn't say anything about MCU and didn't mention anything about Marvel in general.
He was just joking and you took it personally for no reason.
Grow up
it's just a movie.
+Plush Trap Batfleck v Snyderman
+Tom of Steel Your s0 mad i love it. Lmfao you already know its a wrap when civil war drops.
Tom of Steel damn i never knew that DC fans were so quicklly offended just by a joke
And no im not a fan of The MCU
Sure i watch their movies but when i went to The cinema to see this movie i was hoping that DC will finally come back with a block buster (just like The dark knight)
....or at least something that woulden't make as much controversy as man of steel.....
I still hope suicide squad will be a better movie...
+Tom of Steel you fucking gag for Batman. You are a piece of shit
This movie failed because:1).they crammed too much shit into it.This should have been 3-4 movies not one.Instead of slowly building up their CU,similar to the way Marvel did,they just crammed everything into a 2,5 hour movie.None of the storylines goes anywhere.
2).Plotholes galore.
3).None of the characters resembles their comic counterparts.Batman is basically the Punisher,who at some point killed Bruce Wayne and took his identity,Superman is flying around with a look on his face like he's constantly constipated,rammin people into concrete walls(like that african terrorist/guerilla-leader),threatening Luthor to ''beak him to pieces''.Speaking of Luthor:who the hell,told Eisenberg it's a good idea to play Lex like a Jim Carrey parody of the Joker,on crystal meth?!
4). The movie tries so hard to be gimdark,it comes off as unintenionally funny.Just watch the scene where Sups,meets Bats for the first time and threatens him(*GROWL VOICE* ''do you bleed?) or how everybody is talking straight into the camera and re-assuring that there are no civilians around,when the final fight with Doomsday starts or Luthor's final monologue in jail:''the bells are ringing,RING DING DING DING DING.pause for dramatic effect.. RING DING DING DING DING!!!!!'' I swear to God,I laughed my arse off at that scene.Or the whole Martha thing!
+doubleP I laughed when Lois opened the package Clark sent to the farm. So predictable, so pathetically manipulative, so little reason to care.
OMG.. this is exactly how I felt after I watched BvS. I was really hoping for this movie to be good, and thought early reviewers were a bit misguided, but after watching the movie, I was like.. I want my time back, I want my fuc*ing TWO AND HALF HOURS back!!
This review did a way better job of story telling than Batman vs Superman! Good Job!!!
+Marvin Wade Er, the review completely misunderstood the story. The movie told it better... all you gotta do is pay attention to it.
+Mike Omm marthaaa
+Mike Omm Yep, Marthaaaa
+Cameron Willis Ah, you didn't understand it either. I blame Snyder and the writers. They appear to have vastly overestimated their audience.
+Mike Omm ima just wait for the solo batman movie
Wow mate! in my opinion, this is one of the best breakdowns of a dis-jointed movie. I am a huge DC fan and I am still scratching my head...
+Jim Jenkinson Thanks a bunch dude :)
It's like Batman was trying to be Lex, and Lex was on crack.
This movie was very frustrating to watch ,as a Marvel fan I went from schadenfreude to fremdschämen, I prefer Marvel but I don't want DC to lose like this.
Much like with Green Lantern, it's utterly baffling how WB/DC could have such a coherent competent animated movie and such a shit fest with the live action, there is such a massive disconnect in a studio that should in principle have their shit together.
Seriously why are people like Alan Burnett or Paul Dini or Bruce Timm not part of the creative process in these projects?
I grew up on DC and I hate this movie.
I have the DVD's for the cartoons in the 90's; I have a collection of my favorite comics from DC; I rush out for the animated movies they yearly make; I even still have the DC Magazines that they sold at the 7-11 when I was young...
so I say this not as a MARVEL baby... but as a DC Kid... I hated this movie. It was a garbage fire made out of my childhood.
+Ghdefg Same here. We went in to see Batman v Superman, came out having seen Batfleck v Snyderman.
That had to be the BEST review of this movie I have seen yet. Well done.
it is amazing. have you seen endless jess' review?
lol
Yeah... I've seen a hundred and one reviews that are fairly generous, though the general consensus seems to be that it's "okay." It's refreshing to hear someone just tear the whole thing down.
Because, really... this is something that we've been waiting for for years. Decades, even. For many of us, this was the most anticipated superhero movie of all time. We wanted... no, we NEEDED it to be GOOD. GREAT. ICONIC. A REVELATION.
Trying to settle for "okay" sinks the bar lower than it ever should've gone.
Especially since we live in an age where we can have a decent damn ANT-MAN movie. Freaking ANT-MAN. Freaking GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. No one ever even HEARD of these guys, and they knocked it out of the PARK.
This was Batman and Superman.
"Okay" is a failing grade.
+Joe England Deadpool did a little dance and pissed on this movie.
To the sound of Shoop.
Agree 1000%
+Joe England Yeah, I enjoyed a talking raccoon and a talking tree more than 2 of the most iconic superheroes ever. If this isn't a failure on the movie's part, I don't wanna see what is.
Matthew Huff Lol epic comment
ben affleck's batman was the only good thing about that movie.
+I been blazinggg Surprisingly, the one thing people thought will suck ended up being the one and only good thing.
+SamVision
A lot of people also thought Jesse Eisenberg would suck as Lex Luthor and...he did.
so true .. and to think before the movie came out we were worried about his performance more than the story which turned out to be fuckin horrible
Actually most of the movie was brilliant ..Snyder's superman is purist to the creators that we've had on film ~
Anyone who calls the story horrible has no perspective on movies...And Superman was true to the lore ~
fuck it HERE IS HOW YOU DO THIS MOVIE!
1. start out with the JL movie, fuck the origin stories. its getting tiring anyway
2. make it clear that supes and bats don't like each other and have clear ideological differences as they fight together
3. have a few movies go by, rushing this was stupid
4. have bats come up with counter measures for the JL in case they go AWOL (he actually does this in other mediums)
5. just as they warm up to each other, supes finds out. he is devastated and now has a very real reason to fight bats
6. bats misunderstands supes and vice versa
7. more plot happens (not putting much thought into the details)
8. they go to blows
9. SOMEONE ACTUALLY FUCKING WINS, none of this "we are going to be friends crap during the fight"
10. make the effects of the fight permanent, whatever they may be
fuck me, give me all that Hollywood money for giving you a far superior outline. you know whats sad though? this movie will still make money because of the "fans", real fans don't accept garbage from something they love.
+Chase Wilson Amen!
In a word: yup.
As a huge fan of DC comics I hated this movie, hated every source material insulting moment of it
You and I both. It's baffling when fans of this movie claim that it represented the characters well when it very clearly didn't.
I know right, those people need to watch the justice league animated series. That was a perfect representation as opposed to this emo superman, clown Lex Luthor and murderer batman who's a detective only when the plot wants it and an irrational idiot the rest of the time.
+Max G
It's pretty sad when a kid-oriented cartoon can represent the characters far better than a multi-million dollar blockbuster film can.
Masked Guy Yeah, but that's what happens when the people behind the project are good writers and actually have passion for what they're doing. Funny how that works.
Max G
Exactly. Zack Snyder and David Goyer clearly don't know as much about the characters as they think.
12:01 of absolute truth right here. The universe thanks you.
yup
0:00-12:00
That's the truth.
THIS REVIEW
was better than the whole
fucking movie.
My six years old kid told me, after he came back from the movies with his grandma, "Dad, there was Batman and Superman and a boy who wanted to be the Joker" That's where this fucking movie went wrong.
Witty boy indeed.
This movie is so bad, it makes Spider-man 3 look good
+D180223 lol SPiderman 3 is my guilty pleasure...*LOW-KEY*
+Daniel Tallon You just tore me apart. You were my bro for not hating Spider-Man 3, then my mortal enemy for hating Amazing Spider-Man 2. :( it makes me so sad that people hate that movie.
Right now I'm James Franco lying in Peters arms at the end of Spider-Man 3. Do you think the relationship can be repaired?
+D180223 Oh bull fucking shit
Spider-Man 3 is not even the worst of the franchise. BvS is so terrible, it makes The Amazing Spider-Man 2 look good.
It's so bad, it makes The Last Airbender look not all that bad.
Edit: At least M. Night Shyamalan made the movie easy to follow along and give it a rich color pallet.
Lex was acting umder orders to make the earth defenseless against Darkseid, hence getting bm and sm to kill each other.BM spent his deranged life putting his life on the line to save others and was shocked when SM cared more about someone else than his own life. on and on. Five year old children can understand the movie, perhaps they can explain it to you along with how to use a spoon.
*under
+nosuchthing8 Lex was acting under orders to make the Earth defenseless against Darkseid? If you can find a five year old who can explain that plot point without prompt after viewing this movie then I'll give you a fiver mate because I've come across absolutely no one who took that from the movie.
As for the Martha thing, I get the intention, my point is the execution was a clusterfuck.
+nosuchthing8 troll alert, the film is a mess, pacing is terrible, it is full of unnecessary scenes and subplots while probably cutting out about half an hour of content that might make the plot make sense. if you enjoyed the film thenb good for you, as someone that appriciates a well told story this one is a mess for all the reasons this review states and more.
+nosuchthing8 maybe you need to learn how to use a spoon
+nosuchthing8 fine, but that doesn't mean it was done well. WHO THE FUCK WOULD REFER TO THEIR MOTHERS BY THEIR FIRST NAME IN THAT SITUATION??
What ruined the film for me? The film had way too many montages and dream sequences; it flashed back, it flashed forward and even sideways a couple of times.
I guess they were trying to introduce Aqua Man and other future characters but it was so badly done. Why introduce characters in such a ham-fisted way if they are not even part of the immediate story?
So pretty much you prefer a batman solo film instead?
+Ian Crutchfield The concept of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman in the same film is cool. However, their execution was just horrible. The premise of introducing us to, "How they got their powers" or "How they met" is so tiring, overdone and lame. Why couldn't they just have a movie where the relationship is already established without the tiresome backstories?
Instead of rehashing, "Their origins" they should tell a good organic story without the obligatory 30 minutes of destroying some city.
A good movie would start out with a good mystery; a well-developed, well-written villain and tell us what is motivating him. Instead of these cardboard cut-out, non-motivated villains. Then have the heroes work together with their unique skills to figure out the who and what.
I am sure that I am not the only person who would appreciate a movie that is 40% story, 40% developing the villain and 20% CGI instead of 80% CGI, 15% story and 5% character development... nuff said.
+Fivestarmichael interesting point
I earn $12/hour and I called in sick so I can go to the cinema....I went to the cinema and there was only VIP seats available....I paid $24.....you get the irony????
Wait a minute! The whole premise of this movie is so fucking stupid. Batman wants to kill Superman and Lex Luther is trying to obtain Kryptonite because he also wants to kill Superman. If Batman is trying to kill Superman why would Lex Luther want Batman dead? Logically if he wanted Superman dead he would have simply left Batman alone... in fact, he would have given Batman the Kryponite to help him do it.
+Fivestarmichael Lex wanted Supes to kill Bats so the world can see him as a murderer. If bats kills superman, then goal accomplished. Thats how i saw it. Whole film Lex is trying to have public and go against Supes by framing him. Doomsday creation is just him going over the edge.
+Kevin Paulino Execution needed to be done better, no doubt. Potential of a powerful story but put too much in.
+Kevin Paulino -- Lex Luther is supposed to be a genius yet he devised the most convoluted, Rube Goldberg plan to achieve his end. Very poorly written... the whole plot is a plot hole.
This.....may be my favorite BvS review lol. That's really saying something because I just watched the Red Letter Media review sooooo...well done!
+Stefan Filipovits Wow! High praise indeed!
+GeekyGlassesTV Cant wait for your video on how to fix this film or what you think of the current state of dc :P
slayertakim1 Will eventually do a figure it out on it...eventually...
The worst part is that The Dark Knight Returns and The Death and Return of Superman are doomed forever. No one will ever try that again on movies. That is so depressing...
Great point.
Fuck WB
this movie deserves to be on the top 10 worst movies of 2016
It's not the worst, but the most disappointing
It is still incredibly bad, along with Suicide Squad. I simply don't have any desire to waste my money of these incoherent and badly written comic book films anymore. The Marvel films are still pretty fun though despite some of their flaws.
more like "the worst superhero movie of all time"!!!!
this year pretty much had the most disappointing movies rather than worst or bad.
Last year the only notable disappointment is Disney's Tomorrowland.
The biggest disappointment in the movie for me was the fact that this movie is called batman vs superman but rather than having them fight for the entire second half, their fight (if you can call it that) only lasted 5 or 6 minutes.
+Alejandro Salvidres Batman vs Superman: Dawn of a slight scuffle.
I get that, but for me as a movie it was really good. I know that fan boys hate it, but still as a movie it was good. I loved it.
You were WAYYYYYYY too kind to this movie.
Great review. I loved the analogy of Daredevil vs Punisher as better examples of how to work out the should-vigilantes-kill question. Overall, I was disappointed in the film. However I do think other people should see it. Two of my co-workers, who like action films but know very little of comic book movies, saw it and liked it.
Luthors plan
"Right..." - Geordie accent
You just broke me there :D
Thank you for this video, finally somebody gets it for once, finally a sense of logic here...
That rant was so beautiful :,)
When Superman was being all "you are my world" to Lois, I was like "Dude, there is literally a GIANT F**KING MONSTER RIGHT BEHIND YOU DESTROYING THE CITY! STOP MAKING OUT AND DO SOMETHING!!!
Lex Luthor Senior would've murdered his son had he known the monumental stupidity involved with, a. Kidnapping Superman's mother knowing superman is highly unpredictable at this point in his evolution, and b. Creating an unpredictable godlike killing machine that could destroy the goddamn continent.
+Tom F Park Yeap, you don't see Lex being a genius at all in this movie. Congrats Zack.
Never figured out why Batman expected that Superman would just come fight him. It just made no sense.
+Joe Schmoe
also how Lex just happens to throw Lois off the roof at the same time BaTMaN is calling SM to fight. And how the Flash now uses the speed force to enter peoples dreams...
TLDR version: this movie has more plotholes than the Star Wars prequels. If you ignore all the plot holes, BVS is lots of fun. But there are SO MANY. -Luthor knows Bruce Wayne is Batman, yet invites Wayne to a party AND allows him to continue hacking his systems, even after his hench-girl caught Bruce in the act. -Metropolis CBD is 5km from Gotham CBD??? -The World Engine attacked Metropolis... which means Wayne Tower is also in Metropolis, not Gotham. -The Batman vs Superman fight happens a ruined area of Gotham, but it was Metropolis that got wrecked, not Gotham. -Superman kills someone in the first 5 minutes yet threatens Batman for being too violent. -The CIA (not Superman) was tracking Lois at the start... yet somehow he knows where Lois is *and* that she's in trouble. -Lex Luthor's plan to unleash Doomsday, with no way to control him, means his masterplan leads to his own death or imprisonment, no matter what happens. -Batman wants to *lure* Doomsday from an uninhabited island *into Gotham*, even though he spent the first 90 minutes hating Superman for doing the same thing... -The spear was irrelevant; Wonder Woman cut off an arm with her own sword. -Wonder Woman could have wielded the spear while Superman waved his arms and shouted "over here, dumby!" I could go on for hours...
Even just ignoring the plot holes, it isn't really that fun of a movie.
When you have to wait through so much mopey Superman and pointless bullshit to get to them, it kind of sucks some of the joy out of the actually watchable scenes.
Bluemew1234 I liked it well enough the second time, once I tuned out the story and focussed on the punching and explosions :p
I can resolve a few of your plot holes, need to see the movie again for the other stuff:
1. metropolis and Gotham are separated by a 10 mile bay iirc. they are sister cities.
2. Wayne tower wasn't destroyed it was wayne financial.
3. Superman bull rushes the soldier but does not kill him. This is confirmed by the narrator after the desert scene. Superman killed no one except for doomsday.
4. the spear was still needed. did you not see his arm evolve into a but spear? That's the thing about doomsday: every attack was making him stronger.
5. WW couldn't have thrown the spear as she was keeping doomsday at bay with her lasso. And she was barely able to do that.
+HeatForce *blunt spear
HeatForce I can accept most of that, but the way it was filmed made it look like plot holes. Eg. It's hard to see how Superman didn't kill the guy, especially when he could have just used his laser-eyes on the gun, or caught the bullet, WW could still have used the spear while Superman distracted him from the other side, she could have cut off Doomsday's head without the spear then chopped him into pieces etc.
since the Iron man movie back in 2008 ...marvel gave backstories of the avengers and established its cinematic universe....then released the avengers movie....DC tried to do the same thing with one movie...
Batman sending Wonder Woman an email titled "Justice League Setup" made me cringe so hard my teeth hurt.Also,that cheesy music when we saw all the other JL character cameos was also...akward.As for Superman's death,it really wasn't necesarry.You mean to tell me that Wonder Woman couldn't just chop Doomsday's head off? Her sword was cutting him like fucking butter.But nooooooooo,we need DRAMA HERE.Lex's plan doesn't make any sense indeed....Superman was a fucking moron,he is being blackmailed by Lex and instead of going to Batman and telling him whats going on,all he does is walk agrresively towards him expecting Batman will just stand there like what the fuck?
*sniff*
That was beautiful!
Most accurate review ever!!!
I swear it's like you were inside my head.
I especially loved the opening rant.
This review is so good I have it on a continuous loop.
When I saw this movie A piece of me died
This is practically what I felt after watching the movie....
I have few notes, in defense of BvS, but yeah....this is probably the BEST critique of this movie.
I can't believe I actually agree on everything you complained about this film
This movie should be called Justice League Preamble, because it's pretty obvious that a fight between these two will have no significance - certainly not in the actual Justice League movie. If you saw this movie, you essentially paid $10 to watch a 2.5-hour advertisement. And not even a good one.
+Donelle Lee not true... good movie will always be better than bad movies.... Amazing Spiderman 2 was so horrible i was angry that i paid my money for it.... it was even worse than BvS in my opinion because it didnt even had any cool stuff on screen
Donelle Lee again like in BvS there was no story.... they made romance plot, but she was gonna go to oxford and stuff, so what, it doesnt matter to movie whatsoever.... why did we watch it?....
then electric dude comes, does some shit and she investigates him, hack her company, they chase her but she escapes, yep, they forget about it and nothing happens
then electric dude is doing bad stuff, they take him down.... his part was actualy well done, good character arc, but in the end it doesnt matter for Parker, one less bad guy.... Gwen dies, that was good part but horribly rushed, suddenly another bad guy appear for last 10 minutes just to delete entire love story
Donelle Lee it had bad reviews also... not as bad as BvS but ton of people dislike the movie as well.... audience gave mixed reactions as well.... for me its low point for Spider man... i need a great story in a movie, if there isnt one i cannot watch it.... i think Pixels were better only because it had coherent storytelling and AS2 didnt have any, it was all over the place
As an Irish gal I should be immune but dat accent doe. 10/10 would bang.
+xoxBelllaDonnaxox I'm sorry to inform you but I'm also ginger.
+GeekyGlassesTV Say it ain't so.
"...and my housemate once got pizza delivered from the shop next door..." Hilarious.
I know right?!
If you change the costumes,the names and WB said this was an original movie (extraman f greyman)then this movie would have probably been seen a "so bad is good" type of movie. But because this is "batman vs superman" people have to pretend like everything wrong with this movie is a secret masterpiece. Not even the hardcore fans seem to enjoy this movie and what i mean by that is that they seem to have a real pasion justifying the probleams of this movie,but are completly oblivious when talking about what they actually like about it,in fact,they usually mention things that where never established in the movie. They use the plot holes of this movie as a way to create their own fan fiction and then they act like the fan fiction is the actual movie,and if you disagree with them then you "didn't get the movie". If you like the movie then that great,but like it for what it is,not for what you like it to be. Because maybe the Martha scene is just the Martha scene.
Spot on. as a DC fan myself, this movie sucked
I just watched the movie with me parents, we agreed on that the movie exceeded our expectations: we expected it would be bad, it wasn't...
It was WORSE.
Good one! What is that accent btw? Scottish or Irish?
+akashmihir84 Geordie :)
+GeekyGlassesTV Okay, wait, what is it??? That was driving me nuts. Trying to figure out the accent, I mean. That was a lot of the reason why I watched this twice though... so it's working.
+NotSoSuperPete Next door to SCOTLAND thus explaining the 'cornfusion' of the accent.
+klyana130 Indeed. In fact it was actually above Hadrians' Wall. Personally I don't think Newcastle and Scotland sound similar (especially as that's like saying Mexico City and USA, despite USA having a variety of accents just like Scotland) but yeah, it's a bit of an obscure one.
NotSoSuperPete A Brogue is a Brogue is a Brogue! Heh Eirn GoBragh
As just any other movie shown in theaters, BvS is fine, maybe even good. As a comic book movie compared to Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight, the Winter Soldier, Deadpool, and as the first step into the DC Cinematic Universe, it really is fumbling mess and a failure on many levels.
+Daniel Tallon Spider-Man 2 is one of the best Superhero movies. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is horse shite.
"Wait, you're saying that Spider-Man 2 was a good movie?" Yes, it's critically seen as the best Spider-Man movie.
No time for foolish Andrew Garfield Fanboyism, we Marvel fans need to ban together to fight back against foolish DC Fanboyism.
There's another thing that bothers me about the dream sequence. The film made it clear that Batman was the one having these dreams. So my question is, when and how did Batman acquire the power of precognition, or become a prophet? Because these dreams are not just dreams according to the script, they're visions of a possible future, and he had no prior knowledge of Darkseid, not even a clue. It's ridiculous.
If it were up to me, it would have been more plausible if it was Wonder Woman who had these dreams-- her character is more based on magic, and it would give her character something else to do other than... whatever her purpose was in this movie **cough** plot device **cough**
Not precognition, as such, he received a message from the future. How will be revealed in JL; if not then it sucks a bit. BvS is the middle of a trilogy or tetralogy or something, it is acceptable to leave us wondering. There is a bit of a clue, he Flash is part of one of these visions and, if you read the manual, The Flash can time travel. It is a bit obtuse though, fanservice, really, for geeks to masturbate over. It had me wanking like a safari park chimp.
David Morgan It would've been acceptable if the message from Flash wasn't a dream, because anyone who knows Flash knows he can time travel. But isn't that bit a dream that contained another dream? It didn't happen while Bruce was awake. That's why I'm cringing because Flash doesn't have the ability to communicate through dreams. If they wanted that, might as well use Dr. Fate or something.
A bit of mystery via a cryptic message is also acceptable, except they executed it incorrectly by inventing powers certain characters don't have. They're basically pulling a FOX with the X-Men universe. Shameful, really.
+Aes Sedai Absolutely. No doubt, the aim will be to limit The Flash in the JLA film; suborning established canon to the needs of the plot. I guess I am accepting of this sort of thing because it is so common in comics. Comics are riddled with characters possessed of magic powers that make plotting difficult. How do you write coherent stories for characters who can move at infinite speed? You end up creating some ludicrous justification for reducing the hero's powers; every time. Even worse with time travel. I sort of see cludging as a necessary aspect of the games, very few writers are good enough to avoid it entirely. Look at The Authority for a super hero series where cludging, especially moral cludging, is avoided, to an extent. It's pretty different to The Avengers or JLA, with heroes racking up bodies and toppling governments. If you are a fan of super heroes or space opera you have to accept randomly introduced new abilities and equally random restrictions on established powers; it just goes with the territory.
David Morgan Actually, being an avid comic book reader since I was a kid, I'm very familiar with how comic book characters behave. Due to issues of continuity, it's important for these characters to be consistent. They can't just randomly manifest powers when it suits them (unless that IS their power a la characters like Darwin in the X-Men). They always have a specific set, and if they do gain a different one, there's always a story arc that explains how and why. Nothing is just introduced without an explanation. Which is why it bothers us a lot when characters like Flash starts showing powers he doesn't have without at least an exposition as to why. I'll use Batman as an example since he's very well-known to the public--it would be like him suddenly gaining the ability to morph into a bat and no reason is given for it. Everyone would go, "wtf? Batman can't do that"
But I can understand if someone has enough flexibility to accept random changes like that. Because I know for a fact that not everyone is as OCD as me about details lol.
+Aes Sedai Again, I agree. If The Flash develops the ability to project himself into dreams it'll be a plot point in a future film; this is just the hook they'll hang it on. My guess is, a bad thing will happen, but Flash can always go back in time to fix this, so the writers will deny him this, probably through some Nu Gods tech, in the end, there will be some plotline where he figures out how to send his consciousness back to warn Batman.
I guess they were worse in the 70s, but I've never seen mainstream comics as being overly obsessed with continuity and a pretty solid capacity to suspend disbelief has always been required. I'd love it if every hack comic book writer stayed true to the character bibles, but they won't.
Spot fucking on! Also, good job using Rambo as your example of a 'badass'!
my favorite part of the movie is how batman and superman stop fighting for the sole reason superman says "martha" which is both his and batmans name and from then on they are best friends ignoring all the fucking build up of the rest of the movie because their mom has the same fucking name
+Chuck n0rris 55 I don't think anyone who made this movie understand how people work.
I hope they get rid of Snyder.
+Megatron Me too. I'm really not a fan. He knows how to make a nice picture but doesn't remotely know how to make a movie flow on any rewarding level.
+GeekyGlassesTV the style over substance syndrome pumped up to 100
basically, its trying to be Nolan but lacks the genius....Snyder in a nutshell
+Megatron I wish they'd give Bruce Timm and Paul Dini a chance. At the very least, have them come in as consultants. They've pretty much already built a DC universe and it's beloved by fans.
But there have been rumors about WB trying to get George Miller to work on one of their DC movies.
+Megatron Maybe its because I actually really enjoyed Man of Steel but I'm more inclined to believe a lot of the issues with this movie were due to meddling from Warner Brothers
Ben Affleck himself could direct a better movie.
This is the best review I have heard in a long time
Spot on review man! Only one thing though, I'll have to respectfully disagree with you on the Wonder Woman part. I thought she's the best character in this whole mess of a movie. Unlike Batman (and Superman and Lex Luthor to an extend), she doesn't have all that backstory crap or anything in the movie and she has her own charms and mystery. The reason she might seem bland is because the movie devotes all its time to all the other nonsense plotlines. In fact, you could say that the only reason Wonder Woman is here is because the studio is desperate to set up for the Justice League (and I agree, that email scene is so cringeworthy...). She's not needed at all in the overall plot of this film, but she could show up as a cameo, in her 'Diana Prince' persona and not in her hero costume.
The people who are to blame are the writers. They try to cram SO MUCH OF EVERYTHING into one movie it results in the mess that happened. BvS should've been only about Batman vs. Superman. Batman's origins and motivations shouldn't be needed, but since in this universe, he never has his own origin movie before (heck, Superman got his own origin solo movie, so why shouldn't Batman, arguably a hero that's as iconic as Superman, if not even more, have his own movie to establish his own character first?) so they had to find a way to establish Batman's character in the first half of the film while also establish a dozen more plotlines. The same goes to Lex Luthor, who should've appeared in the movie, not as a main villain but as an observer. Let Bat and Sup have their battle on their own, while Lex just observes from the distance while cooking up some evil plan to be put into motion...in the next film. Doomsday should've never happened here.
Back to Wonder Woman, I like her because she doesn't have all that crap in the movie unlike Batman. She just shows up when needed, however forced it is, and makes every second on the screen count, both in her secret identity persona and her heroine persona. Does that mean she's perfect? No. Her own origin film (as well as Batman solo film) should've come before BvS to establish the characters first. But as that didn't happen, how she acted in BvS is assumed that the viewers don't have to care about her for now. She's just there to look good and set up Justice League and that's it. And Gal Gadot has done a fine job for her part.
The one thing I really hate in this film is, ironically, another main female lead Lois Lane. She makes that same mistake that made me dislike her character in Man of Steel, in that she seemed to have appeared EVERYWHERE the plot needs her to be. In the words of Jeremy from Cinemasins in his review, she's basically 'a chess piece, being moved around by the screenwriters, breaking all the rules of chess, mind you'. And the plot seems to make her out as all-important. The Flash appearing from the future telling that Lois will be important? WTF does that even mean??? And not to mention that very cringeworthy scene of her dropping the Kryptonite spear into the flooded basement, only to go back to recover it later when she somehow realize it is instrumental in defeating Doomsday, getting herself trapped and made Superman go save her AGAIN!!!. Arggg... I don't hate Amy Adams, but Lois is such an awful character in BvS...
Anyways, great job on the review! I enjoyed it. ^_^
Where it fails = nowhere..the movie was fucking amazing and brilliant ...storytelling ,scrip, the flow ..all was on point ...As the two newest (and most controversial) additions to the DCEU, Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck had a lot to prove to 'fans' who doubted they could ever pull off their respective roles. And they did, with precision! They exceeded the expectations and delivered performances that were beyond memorable. They are quintessentially these character from this point forward.
Gal was simply amazing. She conveyed a Diana Prince that was both mysterious and alluring who had great chemistry and a refined confidence about her. She played the role in a very clever and captivating way and Gal demonstrated that through her range of acting (verbally and non-verbally). Whenever she was on screen, she stole every moment. Gal has re-defined the character of Wonder Woman for a new age of heroes.
Ben did a fantastic job. He delivered an emotionally scarred Bruce Wayne/Batman. It was complex and multi-layered and you felt his battle with his inner demons. Ben showed us a character forced to face his failures and triumph over them. He channeled a tortured Bruce who was blinded from seeing the truth and a weary Batman to stubborn to listen to reason. Beautifully blending the two together, Ben is Batman!
This was the first review that was Accurate. Can't say it was 100 percent accurate because like you said, You didn't even scratch the surface. Oh, and lets not forget "grandmas peach tea" where he pees in a cup and blows up capital hill. And for some reason Superman decides to "shut off" his super vision. So he comes in all Superman G'd up with a cape and outfit, but fails to use his supervision in which no one would know whether it was "turned on" or not. This movie is idiotic. I wonder if he smelled grandma's peach tea aka Lex's pee in there.
+CJ Zanders The chair was deliberately lined with lead, they establish this. Kal couldn't see the device in it. Also, Kal states and regrets that he didn't pick up on the bomb because wasn't looking. He was pre-occupied by his first official statement to humanity, the weight of everything on his shoulders, and the rift that was opening between him and Lois. This film doesn't treat Superman as a caricature of perfection where nothing can one-up him. It challenges him and in doing so it honours his character. It is to be commended for that.
Perfect review. It says everything that I have been screaming about this film.
Both DC fans and Hack Snyder have ruined the word "badass" when it comes to Batman.
As much as it hurts, you are 100% correct. Before seeing the film, I heard that it was trash and got very worried. Went to see the film hoping to love the film and kept my expectations very slim and just like you said, the film was a disaster. What's so sad is that all the potential was there, they just didn't know what to do with it. What a waste of a film.
After rewatching Watchmen, I was concinved Snyder can do any Superhero movie he wanted and pull it off and Man of Steel proved that but BVS was too big of a project for him.
+Christian charles He just had to do what he did with his other adaptations, use the damn novels as your storyboard and have a SOLID writer help you emulate the original stories of The World's Finest
odlanra serdna He at least needs a co-director as well as a team of writers who want to bring the DCCU to life and flourish.
Snyder needs to work with Scott Snyder haha, agreed man. You can't do mediocre with the World's Finest, also get rid of Goyer
As a guy who loves Man of Steel
this movie is a disappointment
Yes Man of Steel was so much better than this.
Great review. I think some of the biggest gripes I had during this, aside from everything you mentioned were;
When I go into a movie, any movie, let alone this gargantuan BATMAN VERSUS SUPERMAN of a movie, two icons from my childhood sharing a movie together...I expect to FEEL something. I sat there for 2 and half hours and didn't once feel anything. I didn't feel excited about what was happening, I didn't feel pumped up when Bats and Supes finally went at it and I didn't feel sad when Superman died. I mean, they're doing the Justice League movie, so we all fucking know as soon as he died he'll be back anyway. It just failed to evoke any kind of emotion from me.
My other gripe was, the movie just wasn't fun. I mean, I found Deadpool enjoyably average. It was a solid 6/10 for me, not a bad movie but not as good as the fanfare it was getting. But at least Deadpool was FUN.
When you have a movie called Batman v Superman and one of the biggest, most complimented aspects of the movie seems to be Wonder Woman, you clearly have a problem. 2 hours of talking for about 10 minutes of Batman and Superman going at it with handbags until a really shitty CG Uruk Hai comes in and fucking ruins the end of the movie. I mean, from the moment Doomsday comes into the fray, which you literally couldn't give a shit about since they've just thrown him in at the end. Take out Doomsday and your superheroes and stick in some robots instead and you've got something straight out of a fucking Transformers movie.
This movie, a sequel that was just an original story. An original story for Justice League. It was just a 2 hour long fucking trailer for Justice League. Marvel spent 4 years crafting their cinematic universe whereas DC feels like they've done theirs in about 4 minutes. I mean, I get it, I know time isn't something they have, they have to catch up and time isn't something they have but I was just really aware that they were trying to cram so much in and saying LOOK, LOOK HERE, THAT JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE! WE'RE DOING THAT!
Captain America 3 starting to look really good right now, even though it hasn't come out yet.
Finally, someone who sees things for what they are!
+Marcos Armendia I wish I can say the same about a lot of people, that say that this is cool :P.
+miamifiction I know, right?
Marcos Armendia
Yeah.
the guy doing this video is hilarious
+ted myrick Cheers dude!
He spoke the truth though, zack directed a pile a shit.
+GeekyGlassesTV They have a cave troll!, we have a Hulk, laugh out loud!
What else is new?
yes he is.. Lmfao
I'm not a huge comic book movie fan but, loved man of steel so went and saw this, I want my time and money back!! I couldn't get out fast enough!
I agree with the lazy part when introducing the Justice League. I can't believe their was no one in the whole WB/DC company that thought hey guys we gotta introduce these characters better than just by email.
+Nana Gyambibi Thank you. I 1000% agree. How...just how did it get past everyone with them saying yeah fans will definitely be satisfied with this. My friends and I discussed this movie a whole lot. How it failed, how it could have been improved with not much work, and how we would have written a Batman v Superman movie. One thing we came up with was this. Multiple end credits scenes. Yes it was a pretty stupid movie, but X-Men Origins Wolverine came up with a pretty cool concept. Depending on what movie theater or what time you saw the movie or something you got a different post credits scene. Our idea was to have different post credit scenes dedicated to just one of the justice league cameos and make them all way way more exciting and detailed. The one concerning Aquaman was going to be him threatening and then destroying a whaling ship during a storm and actually using his powers.
This video's fucking gold.
Lol I actually liked the movie, but this review is hilarious. Especially the part about Lex's plan, it's so true and i was laughing my ass off at work here, thanks.
Just wanted to say I really, really, REALLY love the breakdown of Lex's dumb plan. I mean my God it's like they stole that plan from an episode of Power Rangers.
I thought Lex Luthor was the Riddler until they said his name.
I made it through the movie just fine, but I only lasted 23 seconds with this video.
+Jeff Summers Congratulations?
+Jeff Summers ---- *I LOVE YOU JEFF.... for saying you were fine with the movie than this video*
For some reason, this movie feels just like Amazing Spiderman II to me.
thats exactly what it is. but even that horrendous movie got better ratings than this movie.
Batman Vs Superman should have been a TRILOGY. Not just one film
"Look at me! I'm wacky!!"
XD OMG THIS DUDE IS HILARIOUS
0:30 - 0:53: Honestly, I can't find any phrases truer than what you just said when it comes to Batman v Superman as an actual movie.
3:22-4:09 lol well said good sir what an incoherent, amalgamated hodgepodge! Trying to do way too much in too little time!
I'm so happy to find a review that is as passionate as I was
Usually when someone rants about a movie like this, makes joking comparisons and simply rants on about how much they hated it it's more of an angry reaction of the film than a well structured, researched and planned out review. But this was perfect! You addressed everything wrong with the film that I couldn't even explain! Loved it!
+Heinrich Joubert Thanks a bunch dude! This is exactly the style I aim to give off in my reviews so this is a big compliment! Thank you :)
+GeekyGlassesTV couldn't stop laughing and couldn't stop agreeing 😂 you got yourself a subscriber!
Heinrich Joubert Glad to have you on board! Hope you continue to enjoy the channel :)
haha this is the most accurate review ive seen. damn it you sooo damn right on everything! XD kudos!
holy shit finally, so many people are taking half measures when reviewing this shit because of the "fans" or rabid idiots as i like to call them.
finally someone is coming out with how terrible this movie really is, i just thought i had become an old cynical man. well i basically am, but i am an old cynical man who is right this time.
+Chase Wilson I genuinely couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was beyond terrible.
0:45 "Death of Superman"
0:53 "want my spoiler free review?"
Well to anyone that did is going to be pissed
it was well known for fans that after the showed doomsday.. they would adapt certain pieces from the death of superman... and for non fans.. they don't know what goes on in the comic book death of superman.. could be symbolic or whatever
I said it's "like they mashed two comics together" not "this is what happens in the comic".
The source material the movie is based on is common knowledge. The title of that source material happens to be called "death of Superman".
This is no more a spoiler than saying "You know that Edge of Tomorrow is based on All you need is Kill?"
+GeekyGlassesTV when the title is called "death of superman" then it is kind of a hint.
Anyway he doesn't really die so I guess it's ok.
I can kind of understand what they were attempting with the whole "Martha=friendship" bit. (Emphasis on attempting) They were trying to say that because Bruce couldn't save his own mother, Martha, when both his parents were gunned down, and that Martha was his father's last words, he's taken aback to learn that there is in fact something somewhat similar between Superman and himself. The whole movie took every step to emphasize the stark contrast between the characters of Superman and Batman, and now finally we see common ground for them to build trust of one another with. However, the way the filmmakers handled the whole thing was so shabbily put together that seemed like one of the crew members kid's was being asked about how he wanted Batman and Superman to make up, and he realized that both their mommies were named Martha, Zach Snyder overheard this, shouted, "Sounds perfect! Print that SOB!" and there you have it.
Y'know I think this movie would've been better if everyone spoke in a Geordie accent
+jason newstead I think so too :)
This is really well done. Your review is superior to the dozen I've heard so far. Keep it up.
+BluesHonkey You're very kind. Thank you :)
Genuinely the best review about this complete primary school thrown together nonsensical "movie" I've seen. Hit the nail on the head with every point you made, and for that you've earned yourself a sub mate.
+Chris McLeod Thanks a bunch man! :)
This movie was Orphan v Orphan: Dawn of the United Children
