If BvS was nothing but two hours of debate between Batman and Superman with a single fixed camera it would be a far better movie. Also, it would mean Superman had more than 4 lines of dialogue in a movie about him.

That's what he tries to do in the comic and it works perfectly, batman has to provoke him into a fight and almost defeats him with some tricks he knew wouldn't work, then fakes dead, which was ultimately his goal, only superman hears his drug slowed heartbeat, realizes what Bruce was doing all along, and winks supermanly allowing batman a plan to success because he's superman and very nice, basically imagine a "good" story, also zach Snyder stinks and his butt stinks and he likes to kiss his own butt

Gorilla Salad posted:How the gently caress would it be? Well, an internet provider that would normally not give out your name and address to an individual without some sort of police involvement, court order or human error, will as a matter of course tell large and powerful copyright holders exactly who has downloaded that thing, or interrupt your service on potentially spurious accusations, because those holders have the power and influence to negatively impact an ISPs bottom line. It may have been legislated to be a protected practice in the US or certain states, I don't know, but that certainly wasn't the default.

I want to say the turning point was IIRC Terry Von Felladay's otherwise excellent reexamination of the first three Transformers movies, which was a critical review of what the Transformers movies were trying to accomplish but failed to execute well (the whole Megatron literally transitioning from a powerful masculine figure to a feminized copy of Optimus Prime completely missed me until that thread but stuff like Optimus is really the bad guy and the theme of facial destruction as death of identity is easy to spot). My guess is that SMG saw the attention it got and decided go whole hog except going with Zizek quotes instead of visual proof.

The Krypton sequence is cool, I guess? But the action is so chaotic I have no idea what is going on. The movie starts out with the premise that everyone is an rear end in a top hat. It's so cynical. Starting from the council, to Zod, to even Superman's birth mother. And it's definitely a theme that continues when we get to Earth. Jor-el isn't much better. "He'll be a god to them." Wow great, that's what we really need. Are we supposed to agree with this guy? Normally I wouldn't say so but knowing Snyder... Speaking of Snyder, I don't think he is a good director. He tries too much and too often to make things dramatic, which renders them comical. I don't think any of my points are new or groundbraking, but I'm personally trying to make sense of why I think this is one of my most disliked movies ever. It's even despicable.

I sort of wonder if MoS would have maybe been a bit better received if the film had ignored Krypton almost entirely. The audience and Clark both start off from the same place: Just discovering a vague alien background, we know almost nothing about where comes from, what his home world was like, the circumstances of what brought him to Earth, if there are others like him, etc. When Zod shows up, how much of what he says is true and how much is a lie could be open to a lot of interpretation and scrutiny, does Clark believe him, do we believe him. When Holo Jor-El appears, not even he could have all the answers, either, if the key maybe only kept information up to a very short time prior to the launch of the Kal's ship.

Now we have grumpy hobo Superman who randomly saves some people on an oil rig to prove how heroic he is. Then we have a disjointed flashback to when Clark was a kid. To be edgy, Clark doesn't know how to control his powers so everything looks horrifying. He also uses his eye beams to purposefully burn his teacher's hand when she tries to get him to escape from a closet. (Wtf I didn't realize that on the first viewing) His mom shows up to calm him down, which is supposed to show what great of a mom she is. But then we find out that his parents don't let him play with the other kids. Good going Kents. No wonder Superman is such an emotionally repressed weirdo. Now that I think about it, these flashback scenes really weigh the movie down. I think they're unrelatable like meeting Jake Lloyd in the Phantom Menace. Also compared with Batman Beyond, I think it only had a couple of flashbacks leading up to his parents death, and then one scene as a college student while attending Joe Chill's trial. As Superman's answer to Batman Begins, this movie fails in every way. People say Nolan's Batman was brooding, but this film spends way more time on Superman angst. Now there is the infamous bus drowning scene. These dramatic moments are really killing the pacing of the movie when we're slowing down every five minutes. As we know, Jonathan yells at Kent for saving people even though it seems like other people view them positively. Now we meet Lois Lane. Superman has to cauterize her wound by putting his eye beams into it.

Lois wants to convince her boss that she met an alien. Her justification is that she's a Pulitzer Prize wining reporter and sounds utterly unconvincing. Superman is meeting with Jor-el on the ship who proceeds to infodump everything. Why is he there if the ship is 20,000 years old? I don't know. S stands for hope on Krypton. Have you noticed that Jor-el is very patronizing towards humans yet? Meanwhile Superman does nothing remotely consisting of leadership in this movie or Batman vs Superman. He doesn't even get to be the founder of the Justice League. Superman's first flight scene is pretty good to me. I honestly can't stand Amy Adams as Lois Lane. I'm not sure what else I've watched with her. The Muppets? She was good in that one. She tells about how Clark is supposed to be a hero and can't quit, but it's never shown in the movie. Compare with Batman Begins, where Bruce risks his life to save Ra's Al Ghul. Now we're at the dumb tornado scene. It always stuck out to me when I watched it how immature and bitchy Clark was. What is he supposed to be, 14? "You're not my dad!!!" How is this supposed to make the character sympathetic at all? Then what's up with his dad being such a bitter guy who's discouraging his son from leaving the farm? The tornado scene is awful. I don't have anything new to say about it except for this panel from the comics:

Lois Lane and the Daily Planet should both be horrible and controversial sensationalists. The closest anyone at the Planet ever got to a Pulitzer Prize is when someone snuck into a party being held in the honor of the late Roger Ebert and took a photo of themselves with his award. The headlines and articles in the Daily Planet for the day after the events of MoS detail Zod's perverse breeding factory in lurid and inaccurate detail, an article wondering about if it'd be a crime to have sex with an alien, Could Superman beat Goku or Chuck Norris in a fight, etc.
