Batman v Superman: Confession Time...

[Dark Shadow]

Much appreciated...and yes...this...

Ya know, I love the breadth of their entire catalog but Somebody To Love pierces right through my soul, each and every listen. It just absolutely KILLS.

[Hector]

Damn straight, one of my ALL TIME faves, that's why I posted that particular one...it was actually Freddie's favorite song...

[Hector]

I admire you're near unwavering enthusiasm Hector. I also admire the fact that you are willing to concede it got the better of you.

I wish BvS had been everything you hoped it would be. I had no problems with Adams as Lois, and loved what we saw of Wonder Woman. I liked that Bruce/Batman acted as more of a detective, and I loved Irons as Alfred.

But that's about it. As time passes, the more this movie makes me....not angry, but sad. Sad that the characters have been dragged through this mud. I just wish someone would push Snyder away and hose them off.

Chris

Yeah, push him off the bloody Grand Canyon...and have firefighters water pressure his pancake flat butt off the dirt...

Don't hold back, Hec, let us know how you REALLY feel!! LOL!

I find it ironic that BvS is best summed up by one of it's own lines of dialogue.

"Don't give me a jar of pee and tell me it's granny's sweet ice tea."

I really do know how you feel though Hector. It's always disheartening to see characters you hold sacred get destroyed in the hands of other people. Marvel's movies have so far been great for me, but the comics have gotten so bad they're one of the reasons I sold off my collection. The Marvel I grew up loving is gone, never to return and I've just accepted it and moved on. I never thought in a million years the very company in charge of my favorite characters of all time could make me completely lose interest in those same characters.

I will give DC major credit here...at least they embrace their classic properties and include them in their current universe. If you don't like BvS you can pop in Adam West, or Filmation Batman, or Superfriends. There's Batman and Wonder Woman TV comics. Marvel flat out refuses to even acknowledge their history. No Hulk TV comics. No classic Nick Hammond Spider-Man or classic cartoon DVD's...nothing. If it's not Marvel NOW it doesn't exist.

That's why I quit Marvel. I hope they love their new fanbase cause they sure as heck lost their old one.

...the BEST thing in the entire movie, the awesome and beautiful Wonder Woman...

I couldn't agree more. I thought the film was okay--liked it, didn't love it. I think a lot of that's me, though--I didn't get excited by The Force Awakens, either.

[Hector]

I liked Force Awakens enough...but was nothing out of this world for me either.

Saw at the theater once, that was it.

It's on Redbox now...went yesterday...and rented Bine Tomahawk instead, great western Horror with Kurt Russell, check it out, ha...

I just popped in my Fleischer Superman DVDs into my PlayStation, and it's all good...Superman is back in all his glory. Now that I'm at this subject, better go ahead and get the Blu-Ray set...

Same applies to my Reeve 1 & 2 Supes flicks...

[huedell]

Like you, Hector, I enjoy BvS each day better than I do the next day.

That said: I liked BvS as a disjointed vital DC project that I'll re-watch just about as much as I re-watch MoS---- which is: Not much. It's not a very engaging film if you're not a theatre surrounded by DC fans.

Of course it's stacked character roster and it's DC universe plot set-ups insist that BvS is a different animal than MoS, and as a hardcore DCU fan, I have to try to enjoy BvS where I can enjoy it. Otherwise it's more difficult to enjoy the DCEU (or whatever they're calling it) as it grows onward.

I thought Force Awakens was very cohesive and very fun and very impressive overall at being what it needed to be--- thank goodness. I can stand behind the "overall" quality of TFA---- BvS? No way.

That was cool.

I just went back to see BvS for the second time and I have to say I actually enjoyed it better the second time around.

[PNGwynne]

^Honest question: Was you enjoyment in the details for the second viewing, or more appreciation for Wonder Woman?

I'm asking because I think I know your tastes a bit, but also because I find the Nolan bat-trilogy very rough going in repeat viewings.
