Even Kevin Spacey chewing scenery and hamming it up couldn't save that turd, that is still better than X:3 and apparently BvS, which I am not at all eager to see now.

It's a tv commercial, you can see it for free.

I will say that while Indian media is way too in love with musicals and romantic comedy they have a good grasp of slapstick.

I guess technically that's not Bollywood since it's Tamil-language and not made in Mumbai but I don't think anyone outside India knows/cares about the distinction, so

I loving hate India's fixation with musical romantic comedies because their action comedies are on point and funny/good to me and probably international audiences too.

Batman is the Punisher but with money.
He dodged Nam as he was rich so wasn't forced to kill.
He lost his parents instead of wife/kid as he was on a rich only night out.

They are the same super hero, except Punisher helps stop crime.
Batman delays it from happening again when they escape/are released.

i like when people go why you so mad they kill it's realistic. it's because killing is the coward's way out. i'm watching a space god with laudable morals fly around in blue and red tights (which they made even stupider btw) i don't need realism i wanna watch a hero be good and do good.

No, I mean in that Batman in this movie kills people more explicitly and unapologetically than the Punisher does.

He turns one guy's car into an exploding flail he uses to crush his buddies to death with

Also lol at the fact that Bruce's parents still die at a showing of Mask of Zorro its just a re-release of Mask of Zorro

Zack Snyder has never been able to tell a coherent story with the exception of 300 and Dawn of the Dead which could have had the entirety of their plots written on one side of a dinner napkin. He should be a DP or something 'cause he has a good eye for visuals, but absolutely no other directorial skills.

Honestly I think the initial reception to the first few frames of 300 introduced at Comi-Con 2006 have carried him through just as many poo poo movies. Where would the cinematic universe be with out Comi-Con's knee-jerk reactions to clips from such cinematic gems such as Snakes on A Plane?

I love how they've got a hero called Vigilante and his costume is a hat plus his scarf pulled up over his mouth. Reeeal loving stellar effort there, dude.

DC rebooted Vigilante somewhat in the '80s, wearing a ski mask and goggles. The guy runs around in as DC Comics version of the Punisher, with the same stopping grounds, same methods, etc. The confusing part is the cowboy Vigilante shows up often as well, because he was part of the Justice League, so all those guys have to get face time once in awhile.

its not a bad movie in its own right and as an adaptation its not nearly as much of a shitshow as most. i liked it.

its just really idk superficial compared to the book. prob cause the book should never have been made into a movie and even at 3 hours long they cut a ton of good bits

I also liked Watchmen. I never read the GRAPHIC NOVEL because comics are for children.

I saw Batman vs. Superman and I'm still unclear as to what the plot of the movie actually was.

I saw it and I dunno why the reviewers were so harsh to be honest, it has some reeeeeeeal bad pacing issues in the beginning but I probably enjoyed it more than some Marvel movies and definitely more than Man of Steel.

I went and saw it tonight. The casting on lesser roles was bad. Alfred would've made a great Gordon (if Gary Oldman didn't want to do it) and Lex would've been an incredible Riddler. Too bad they hosed that (and so much else) up already. Oh well, my dead gay favorite franchise. Everybody has one of those, right? Right.

E: I enjoyed the end sequence stuff, though. From Doomsday's birth and on, I was into it.

There's literally a thank you to Frank Miller in the special thanks section of the credits, so basically, yes.

He does brand criminals with the bad symbol leading to the other criminals killing the branded ones in prison. I think that actually one ups Frank Miller's insanity.

Making a Steel movie that never even mentions Superman might have worked but .... well, not in this universe. Same applies to the Catwoman movie that didn't have Batman.

But apparently Hollywood hasn't learned their lesson since they just announced a Venom movie which won't have Spiderman.
