BvS Ultimate Edition is a fine film. And the warehouse scene is Batman's best fight scene ever.
"I rhyme with tyre - And cause pollution - I think you'll find - It's the best solution: What Am I?"
"And that's the essential problem with 'Planetary' right there. When Elijah Snow says, 'The world is a strange place'... he gets Dracula, Doc Savage and Godzilla... When we say it, we get The Captain Fire-Cock Rock 'n' Roll Spectacular."

Problem is it made most of its money the first weekend. Before people knew how bad it was. Once word got out the box office dropped like a rock. Compare that to Wonder Woman which had the lowest opening of any DCEU film
yet Wonder Woman went on to have the biggest domestic box office of all the DCEU films because of good word of mouth and repeat business. All that proves is people were hyped to go see BvS when it opened. While with
Wonder Woman people had become leery of the DCEU and so not as many showed up the first weekend. They kept Snyder for Justice League because they were too far in and were worried changing directors would cost too much
money. In retrospect they blew way too much money on JL anyway and would probably been better off money wise to have just bitten the bullet and fired Snyder in the first place. I'll bet they would have had a better movie
that made more money if they had hired someone like Whedon to do the whole movie on his own. We wouldn't have had mustache gate for one thing.
Done with DC. Can't handle the constant whiplash! Time to go on a hiatus!
Snyder's a one trick pony? I assume you're just looking at dollar amounts. I'm looking at good filmmaking, e.g. Dawn of the Dead, Watchmen, Man of Steel, and, yes, BvS: UE (and that's still not the unexpurgated version he wanted to give us, not entirely). 300 was a hit, but I was never into it (nor the comic).
Whedon more or less made the same Avengers movie twice.
