Less than 2 weeks out, no Batman v. Superman reviews.

No, it's a little hard to review a movie that hasn't premiered yet

[SiegePerilous02]

Because the embargo hasn't lifted yet...

And what few, non-spoiler filled early reaction tweets we've gotten have been mostly positive.

I'll be scared if bad reviews come out. No reviews just means no ones seen it, so why would it effect my opinion?

[MindofShadow]

Naw, because I don't give a hoot what the reviews say, i'll be there opening weekend

just means less chance of running into spoilers

Yeah, with most big movies like this reviews will be embargoed until the week of release.

[Baggie_Saiyan]

SW was embargoed until a few days before release. So....

The prequels got decent reviews, I'm going to wait till two weeks after the films been out to get an accurate reading of the film. DC fans have basically ruined any credibility fto give a fair appraisal of the work.

When studios aren't confident in a movie (or when they know it's a dog), they sometimes clamp down on pre-release critic screenings and reviews in order to minimize negative word-of-mouth and not adversely affect the opening weekend gross. Arosenbarger's implication is that the simple lack of reviews indicates something negative.

That said, this is a tentpole movie (studios treat them differently) and we're still two weeks out. I wouldn't worry until Wednesday.

Interesting, I'd never really noticed that before.

Yep, and what that guy said was really common sense stuff:

If you liked Man of Steel, you'll like BvS.

If you didn't like Man of Steel, you probably won't like BvS.

If you liked Man of Steel but hated the wonton destruction, BvS might have something for you.

Isn't that what is to be expected?
