Holy sh!t snacks!
Negan + Maggie = Bruce Wayne
Negan + Maggie = Bruce Wayne
Spent the weekend with that infamous Batman v Superman (well spent most of it scouring the comments and reading the tonnes of articles,mostly)
I had in mind to blog last night after the movie, but with the recent worst dip of Internet connection here, it's just, well, back reading/speeding up back on Stephen King's 11.22.63 to get back to the differences since the finale of the mini-series.
this was, what, 3 weeks ago dayum.
anyhow I better post some of these drafts that's been stuck around the folder, and well, I suppose the impending showtime of the only one superhero (no, the movie of 2016) movie that I am to choose as the only movie this year hits today to finally catch Spidey in roughly 5-6 hours, I should defend that movie that was Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice.
I wasn't that gungho about it.
Not from the start of that announcement , what 2 years ago? I mean I was looking forward to it, and I for one loved the casting of Ben Affleck(and practically my favorite and saving grace of said film), and was still right up til the many teasers and trailers.
That's when I felt there might be too many things all at once on this movie. I don't think if it was 3 hours it would do it justice (oh, unintentional pun) ..in which I suppose the extended version is at 188mins is it? No matter, with the direction it was going, I wouldn't believe the extra half hour would make it a better film. I am not going to nit-pick, but I would point some out.
I wouldn't say it sucked, anyhow. It certainly ain't Fan4astic (that movie last year which I haven't touch it with a ten-foot pole) I did enjoy some scenes. Its just the convenience of things in the plot that just bugs me, and millions others. I would not go into the many plotholes and miscasts and etc there are so goddam many rants out there and the hate for Zack Snyder; even calling for him to be removed from Justice League, bah!
I don't blame it on Mr Snyder though. I think he did alright, his trademark shots and feel is there, and beautifully done as usual. But my probable blaming finger would be on the execs that made up the thinkthank of the DC movie universe(s) . Ok the DCEU... and to some extent the writers.
The absurdity and dumbness of the CIA's Jimmy Olsen of hiding a tracker in a camera (duh!), to the whole mess that is Lois Lane (she was written this way since Man of Steel isn't it?) and of course the unnecessary Joker-esque potrayal of Lex Luthor, hell, I could even tolerate the nonsense of "they would kill Martha!"
This I would attribute it to the writers, but I lost it with that scene of (us as) Diana Prince checking out Lex's secret military grade encrypted video folder of future teasers of the other movies coming soon. (Oh, I get it, it wasn't Lex's files, it should be DCEU chiefs computer)
That with the pointless 'discovery' of Aquaman potrayed like a simpleton sea creature/merman poking out of whichever humble seasponge abode, I mean WHAT-THE-F*#K?
Arthur Curry suffered amnesia and became lost under the sea found he could breathe and found his supposed inherited trident, became intrigued and get caught on video? That just made me not too keen on his movie. Ok, I am fine with Cyborg's, ok with The Flash bit (even though I am put off as usual with multiverse not consisting CW's universe, to me, Grant Gustin is The Flash to me, but hey, ok whatever rocks your boat DC) and the utter un-super-ness of the mystery woman in supposed amazonian battle gear and the facial-recognized atm video; to be fair, that should just be a case of doppelganger nothing to make Lex Luthor to create a persona and logo for a Wonder Woman.
Yeah, the creme de creme would be the convenience of these logos already created neatly for their respective folders. This I eff-ing put this one the DCEU chiefs.
(Hmm, I need to watch it again, there isn't one for Green Lantern isn't there?)
It is an okay film. There were nice bits, Batfleck is brilliant, as is the few lines from Jeremy Irons, of course Wonder Woman (though I am looking forward to Gal Gadot in a lead role, I mean she is good as a bit part scene, essentially in this movie it was still Gal Gadot acting like, well, what we came to expect of her atm), and err, well, the fun part of seeing J D Morgan and Lauren Cohan as Thomas and Martha Wayne.
That being said, I don't think Zack Snyder is at fault. He is definitely pressured (or teabagged) by the 'creatives' of chiefs of DCEU to be doing what he did , adding those unnecessary and mind-boggling (at least to some of us neutrals) scenes to make BvS not the awesome superhero movie we came to expect of, certainly with 2 (okay 3 counting Wonder Woman's cameo) of the most important heroes in DC lore I suppose.
Mayhap he is at fault, like what most people think, but my money is on him being under orders, in which we'll never know in the foreseeable future.
It still make money, and continue to do so, (and most definitely be a successful franchise)but this convenience piece of a film does not do justice to having so many stories and characters in a movie that opens up to its own cinematic universe.
p/s : I will not touch on what I'd think as a miscast of Lex Luthor, as I became aware that my earlier prediction years ago before a certain Steve Rogers in its first film, here (or was it the earlier blogsite?)
ii : I am not a Marvel fanboy.
the MCU took years to establish that in this medium, and hence the success of it. I do agree not all MCU movies were without fault (some were choke full of it too) and some pretty backfired, but I don't think it managed even half of the hate for BvS by its own fans,eh?
As many links and articles there were before and after the film was out pointed that DCEU was a rushed-job to compete in its own way to milk this superhero movie cashcow, I am sure they will be getting better, hopefully.
Now it is time for "Underoos"!
