Great Great Great GREAT!!!! Movie!!! Loved it all the way through! (Well except for the morbidly obese guy who sat next to me, wore his pajamas to the theatre and kept wiggling his foot the first hour in....I'm NOT kidding!) won't spoil anything for those who haven't seen it yet but all in all a terrific feature and I'm looking forward to what's next!
The Low point of the night was after the movie was over all of the foul mouth jerks swearing left and right about how short the fight between Superman and Batman was.
(personally I found it to be a pretty solid battle. (Although, with all the dialogue ripped from DKR I hope they gave Frank Miller some kind of credit)

Many of friends that saw the late (Thursday) night screening just informed me via e-mail that this movie is not what it's supposed to be and having said that I'll not see it when it's on Cable Television because one member said it here that Batman was acting like the Punisher in this movie and I don't care for this persona for Batman. So, having read all the reviews in the past few days and the reviews on this thread -
I will not see it at all.

md62 can we please be careful about spoilers? You revealed something about the film in your post that I don't think anyone who hasn't seen the film knows yet. Thanks

I'd say he's right when he says: BTW, apart from that sequence, I'd say a lot of bad guys died in TDKR too, specially in the dumpster fight. I'm not sure if the guy Batman shoots in that scene actually dies. I'd have to look at it to check, but I don't remember it being "right between the eyes". If memory serves, it's not definitively shown where exactly Batman shot him. |

(personally I found it to be a pretty solid battle. I also thought the fight was ok, except for Batman's motivation, which was pretty generic and much weaker than the one in the comic. I'm guessing those who were badmouthing it, were expecting something like the one against Zod, in the first movie. That would of course be off-base, because Batman needs to bring Superman down a peg (or a hundred), in order to fight him at all. |

The blood on the wall and the bullet hole seem to be consistent with a head shot (any spatter analyst out there?). There's no entry point on his face, but maybe he shot him trough the open mouth. |

It's crazy to me that literally not a single reviewer is giving this movie more than a 3.5 out of 5 stars. If I had to choose between a 3.5 and a 4, I'd also go with the former. There's not a lot of fine grain in a five start rating system. |

You have NOT to be, a lifelong Batman and Superman fanboy, to like these last two movies, then? Judging from Man of Steel, it may help. |

I haven't seen Batman v. Superman yet (and probably won't see it in the theater), but I find what I've heard about adapting elements of the Dark Knight Returns to be odd. I thought dark comedy was supposed to be the tone of much of DKR, especially the Batman vs. Superman fight.
Isn't that why DKR had the spectacle of two over-the-hill heroes fighting, and a hefty Batman depicted as able to hold his own through gimmickry in a fight against Sueprman. It's supposed to have an absurdist streak, and pit them against each other for some thematic reasons. Therefore, it seems weird to co-opt that scenario (including a graying Batman) for an action flick that's supposed to take place before the formation of the Justice League.

Just saw it and...holy crap.
There's no conspiracy here, the movie is just straight up garbage. Snyder DOES essentially portray Bruce Wayne as a super cynical Frank Castle and Eisenberg is every bit the massive miscast as Lex that I thought he would be. There's no real motive behind his actions, he's basically just a cackling, incredibly NON-threatening villain that would make even Jim Carrey's Riddler cringe.
How they so massively screwed this up with a $250+ million budget and a near 3 hour runtime is beyond me.
They seriously can't get rid of Snyder and Goyer fast enough.

Holy shit, that was horrendous...I'd almost be inclined to call that a hate crime against Superman fans...  |

Rubber bullet. Honest. That was in the dumpster. In this sequence, he used a machine gun from an opponent, one that had already been fired upon (and clearly trough) another body. His disregard for the enemy's wellbeing, is consistent with the one shown in the movie, and quite logical in the midst of an armed conflict. He may choose not to enter the arena armed with guns, but that doesn't mean that when he's around "no one dies". |
