    ^I respect your opinion Brue, but I disagree on every level. But hey, that's what opinions are for.

      ^^^^ ditto on that. Much respect but disagree. Fan faith doesn't have most loving the movie. If that were true than BvS would have been a mega hit. The movie have a lot going for it obviously.

        ^Well said! I'd be more inclined to blindly love a DC film...and yet I can't.

          Part of the reason behind that is because DC/WB has yet to make a comics-based film really since Superman II that you could blindly love. Granted, the MARVEL Universe and the DC Universe are two entirely separate beasts, but whereas the minds and talents behind the MCU have found a way to, at least partially, transfer the magic from the printed page to the silver screen, DC and the suits at WB haven't found that formula as of yet.

            Still have not seen it...looking more and more like a Rebox rental for me down the line.

            I'm just not getting that spark...Iron Man 3 and Avengers 2 left a sour note for me...I truly hated those two flicks, more so than Batman v Superman.

            I like Evans/Captain America...but Downey/Iron Man gets on my friggin nerves.

            If Cap wins, I'll check it out...

            But if Iron Man ends up winning here...I'm going to commit seppuku...I swear...

            PM me for those specific spoilers if you don't mind...I wanna know right now.

              They are different beasts but all DC has to do is get the right director and install a little fun, drop the all gloom and doom crap. Keep the action they have going but make their heroes likable. What made Christopher Reeve so great was people actually admired the hero the played. He was the All-American red white and blue hero everyone knew. After all fun is what made comic books ...... well fun. It's not the difference in DC and Marvel heroes but how they are played and portrayed. Yes, I'm a Marvel guy but still my all time #2 hero movie is Superman the Movie.

                Reeve's Superman is alive and well...as Captain America as played by Chris Evans.

                  It's funny, I've all but given up on fully enjoying a cinematic version of my favorite hero, Batman. But I can rewatch Superman I, The Phantom, Captain America: The First Avenger, and Ant-Man over and over. Those films work for me on serveral levels. Daredevil (Director's Cut) is close, too.

                  But maybe I have too much invested in Batman, IDK.

                    Yeah he gets on Captain America's nerves in this movie as well. You should go see it!

                    Did you like Winter Soldier at all? Similar.... but different from this one. Even with all of the characters it a pretty well balanced movie, plenty of popcorn scenes, but that's not a bad thing.

                        Makes me wonder if Evans could pull off Superman. Now THAT would be interesting...

                          Winter Soldier was pretty good, yes.

                            I don't know why but it's bugging me you won't see it Hector.

                            If I lived closer, i'd kidnap you and take you to the movies.

                              Cavill is a good actor...but Snyder is slowing destroying him...you can bet the bank...he would've done the same to Evans.

                              Evans could've pulled off Supes...but again...Snyder would've messed his acting up too.

                              Here you go, Supes and Cap...
