the take that it's mostly right wing idiots liking the movie? That's completely accurate
Sounds like this is everything that fans of the DCEU have been asking for and waiting for. I am elated.
The people that weren't going to like it anyway are going to hate it, same with BvS UE and the rest of Snyder's work, which honestly is a fantastic thing. A film should never be something that caters to everyone, but should always be the best representation of the story the filmmaker wants to tell, which these day is a very rare occurrence for this industry. It's been an interesting and exciting experiment to watch unfold. And while I doubt this will be a smash hit for WB, I hope this encourages more studios and producers to have faith with in the creative visions is movie makers and storytellers of large releases like this. It doesn't always end well and with a profitable product, but I don't think I've seen anything that compares to a big budget film release that retains the accuracy ant integrity of a filmmaker's vision since Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 in 2017, and that was en even rarer occourance in that studio meddling and unfortunate circumstance didn't get in the way of it being released in a complete form. I'm really hoping we see that again with Dune later this October, because I believe there absolutely should be a space for large lengthy expensive films that cater to a niche.
And please don't confuse that to mean that I believe Snyder's work in the DCEU is high art, it's at best still a Super Hero movie that takes it's characters and audience a tiny bit more seriously then what we usually get for these sorts of movies, and at worst bloated and over-indulgent popcorn cinema.

Yea, not sure if I'm good believing early reactions.
You mean the bunch of right wing posts that are celebrating how good of a movie this is? That's pretty good proof.
It’s like one or two, I mean really.
Plenty of the post also celebrating to a hyperbolic degree aren’t.
You’re reaching
That one about the first TWO HOURS being a drag is awesome. The movie equivalent of "Don't worry, the game really opens up after the first 30 hours".
After that other guy got banned for comparing DC fans to right wing, I was hoping that shit would stop. I guess not.
I'm not but that's okay. You can disagree with me all you like.
Wow, I knew I should never enter an OT Snyder related thread and just reading this last page, I was right smh.
I will just say these early impressions are usually postive so I'm going to keep my expectations in check. The real test is when the real reviews come.

LMAO @ Batman v Superman hyping, who the hell is taking these meat heads seriously
"The first two hours are a drag "
" Good character development"
uh huh
I’m willing to sit through 2 slow hours if the rest is as brilliant as other people on social media are saying.
Good character development is a consistent through line even among negative impressions with Cyborg’s arc being called out in particular.
also, it’ll be nice to get a version without the gratuitous ass shots and boob touching.
Nobody, but I do want fan service. I demand Darkseid to be done correctly if anything at all comes from of this fiasco.
Kevin Smith really loved the movie; was gushing about it on Fatman Beyond podcast. They're gonna go on a deep dive discussion about it next episode.
Does it have an intermission or pretty set break points? I might watch in halves over two days. Kinda superheroed out this month going through the 2 Snyder DC movies and watching a marvel flick with my girl
I think he likes pretty much everything that he watches
I love they guy, but I don't think there's ever been a superhero movie that he didn't think was incredible.
Yeah I'm definitely more interested in what Marc Bernardin is gonna think about it. He's currently rewatching the Snyderverse in prep for ZSJL, just finishing MOS for the first time since he saw it in theaters and enjoyed it more now than then. Curious to hear his thoughts on BVS:Ultimate which he's never seen and ZSJL.

Press was not told to offer "positive" posts today. We can say whatever we want. Here's mine from earlier. (I somehow missed that this thread existed!)
Kevin Smith loves every movie. You can only trust that it's good if he cries about it.
Already an improvement.
Pretty happy to hear Cyborg is getting his character restored. After all the shit Ray has gone through, it will be good to see it up on the screen.
I'm not expecting good, but I'm expecting better than JL.
For almost every movie I've bothered to follow, these "social media reactions" have been worthless and overly positive. I dunno what exactly causes this effect, but I've learned not to trust the hype.
Grace Randolph is an alt-right pandering racist and I don't believe her tweets are allowed on Era.
I reported it a while ago(unless it didn't go through), I was under the impression she was a banned source too.
User warned: hostility
You're completely ridiculous and, honestly, fuck off trying to paint us as that.
I mean he hated BvS, so it's not like he just has a blanket love for the current DC films.
Dude's been raging against this movie for a long, long time. Right down to showing up in damn near every Ray Fisher topic to downplay what he was saying right up until Whedon got exposed.
Yeah, but he has very little discernment while talking about movies (I don't know about his personal tastes, I don't know the man). He'll gush about any movie he doesn't hate, which makes it hard to tell whether a movie is actually that good or just alright. Unless he cries about it.
Yeah, if "the first two hours are a drag," that means it is a bad movie.
Yeah I'm gonna wait a week for reviews to get out of the shill/fanboy zone. I remember how BvS was the pinnacle of cape flicks on twitter but oh Martha was that wrong
