    Oh please. Ppl don't want to waste 25 bucks on a ticket plus food. They ignored the critics for BvS and SS and considering the steep drops, many were disapppointed.

    I call bull on the paying off critics. Marvel makes films that are usually like Wonder woman. They're fun, easy to follow and fairly basic and generic so there isn't much to hate.

    BvS generally according to both critics and audiences was a boring soulless film with almost no action. SS was also generally seen as a flaming hot pile of garbage.

    I thought Man of Steel theatrical version was the only version?

    Both films were divisive, but not universally panned by audiences.

    part of me thinks that The Dark Knight was lucky to come before the MCU stablished this supossed gold standard of what a CMB should be.

    but everyine hates the Snyder films with passion. Is not an opinion, is a fact . Too bad of you to have an individual opinion of them.

    Yeah, im being sarcastic

    Look, I think it's complicated trying to separate someone's tastes from objective critiques of movies, and that's particularly true of comic book movies.

    Like, there are probably valid criticisms to be had of DC movies, but I think also to some degree the fact that the tone and style of the earlier DCEU movies weren't what people were expecting had a negative impact on their reception even if what they were going for shouldn't inherently be bad just for being different.

    But, as has been pointed out, "different" comic book movies can be well-received by critics, as cited with Logan or even the Nolan Trilogy. So maybe it does all fall into a failure on a production level for the DC films.

    Of course I also think there might be some truth to the idea that Marvel movies, with their irreverent and light tone, makes critics go easier on them then they would other comic books movies. But again, they are also generally solidly-crafted films as well even if they generally don't try and be more then that.

    I think it's to Wonder Woman's credit that it was probably the most balanced DCU movie (or comic book movie) and didn't have the production or tone issues the other films have had. Which is probably why it is still the best received DCEU film.

    Well, I wouldn't say expecting so much dreading as the worst possible outcome of things.

    Wow, another 'truth teller' coming in repeating the 'paying off critics' line as if it were a legitimate thing and you wonder why people aren't receptive to your gospel?

    Okay got me there but lets not ignore the fact that many people did find BvS boring/all over the place and word of mouth was toxic for that film.

    SS while yes people did seem to enjoy it more than BvS, there were common criticisms that I heard and saw from both critics and some general audiences. And the common opinion appears to be that it wasn't as good as the trailers made it seem.

    I don't know whether to trust this site, but apparently the score was accidentally leaked and it stands at 50%.

    Haven't read any full reviews (just the snippets that've been posted here), and, if the movie is substantially over-edited, which appears to be a common consensus, then I hope we get multiple cuts on the home release: I'd really like to see a Snyder cut, just to see how different it was than the Whedon-altered version.

    I'm still excited to see the movie, and I think the movie will do a very good opening weekend: whether or not it has legs will depend on the audience reaction to it, and not its critical reception.
    What can I say but, "I love comics."

    Moving forward I hope there is
    No Zack Snyder
    No Ben Affleck
    Batman films by Reeves exist in their own continuity and same goes for Bat family films
    Really all films just take place in their own worlds
    No JL for a while
    Flashpoint the hell out of this mess
