BvS now showing up on "The Worst Movies Ever Made" Lists...lol


http://lifebru.com/the-worst-movies-ever-made/13/

once again I say....BvS is the single most MOCKED film in Hollywood History....

It truly will live forever....50 years from now when an Awful movie comes out and it has a terrible creative failure in it, people will say "Well Its bad but at least its not "Martha" bad".......

by the way I'm well aware there some that like this film, and you do more power to you, everyone is entitled to thier own opinion....but those who like it are in a very small and seems SHRINKING minority...but astonishingly it seems the impossible is happening, somehow BvSs reception is even getting worse with AGE...

I truly did not think BvS could get MORE HATED...I mean its already the most mocked and made fun of film ever, its already got some of the worst reviews,ratings and audience scores ever for a CBM, Its already directly responsible for an Entire JUSTICE League film being canceled(remember, JL was greenlit,announced and had release dates to be a 2 Parter, but embarrassingly right after BvS came out to universally hatred, WB didnt trust Snyder anymore and forced him to make it into 1 film) BvS is already directly responsible for Zack Snyder being Demoted, as from 2013 to 2016 Zack was the BOSS and ran the DCEU...embarrassingly within 2 weeks of BvS release, Snyder was Demoted while 2 new people(Berg and Johns) were brought into to run the DCEU branch, most embarrassing, in the press release WB specifically states "Snyder Will answer to them" ...

you would think it couldnt get much worse than this...

but hilariously it did...we got the FINAL answer to just how much DAMAGE BvS did on November 17th 2017 WHEN Justice League became the single biggest missed opportunity in Hollywood history as a direct result of Audience hating BvS after audiences lost all HOPE and HYPE from the trainwreck that was BvS...

BvS opened to 166 M....JL Opened 93 M....that means literally almost half the people who saw BvS did not care or come back to see its sequel JL...

Marvel Studios is currently on its 3rd Avengers film(4 if you count Civil War), and The Avengers is now the Only Franchise in Movie history to start out with 3 straight films making over 1.4 Billion....The Avengers is officially the biggest box office draw and attraction in Hollywood history...

Its made over 6 Billion dollars with 4 films....and instead WB's Justice League franchise is DEAD after only 1 film that LOST them over 60 Million.....

^ BvS...A movie that KILLED a Potential 6 to 10 Billion dollar franchise in JL....

I've always wondered why Warner/DC's alleged fans didn't flock to this movie as well as JL. From the days of IMDB one would think that their numbers were legion. It appears that their vastness was greatly exaggerated with their vocal screams stating what the expected Box office would be! As a comic book fan I did see both but it defies reasoning that so few so-called loyal and devoted fans attended even the Opening Weekends for both movies. What kept them away?

To your point, not only were the movies poorly received but the Studio and Snyder didn't have an intended audience and or they crafted the movies for a select few. That would be forgivable if they were indeed crafting "Art" but it appears that they were making "Vanity" projects.

I think the actual core of fans is fairly small.

I think the actual core of fans is fairly small.
I find that stunning given the long history and iconic status of Warner/DC. How can DC attract and or rebuild their fan base?

reply

well what I mean is that core fans alone are not going to make 300 million plus box office. They are probably around the number of comic sales, so with films they depend on casual fans and the general public for revenue. Why did they not like BvS or Justice League when Marvel films are as terrible as those two? I don't know, but the core fans are not going to finance the box office.

I think the best critique I've read on BVS, was a recent online article (from The Verge, I think). Looking back on it's roll out in 2016, the writer made the best point about the movie's problems and eventual failure. He noted that WB didn't invest the time in creating a world that viewers felt comfortable in, nor characters that they knew. Sure, everyone knows who Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are but not a new, cinematic version of these classic characters. The studio (seeing the financial success of the MCU), rushed the job. Instead of spending cash on early movies to introduce the DCEU universe and warm us to the characters, they ham-fistedly slapped together a shortcut that was neither fun nor cohesive. To call BVS "good" is to close your mental eyes to glaring faults. Superman all dour and moody, Batman murdering people, Wonder Woman acting mostly disinterested... these are clearly NOT who their namesake doubles are from the comic pages. And don't even get me started on a plot that was all over the map.

reply

While there is not a substitute for doing "The Work" there is an adage of "Work Smarter Not Harder". I can't fault WB for doing a different take on Superman, Batman and the JL. In all fairness Marvel's MCU and the Avengers are very different than Marvel canon and all the print canon that covers all the various iterations over the past 60 plus years. Warner's approach of working in their eyes smarter could have paid off if they remained consistent to a singular vision or idea and were willing to see it all the way through.

It was counter-intuitive to try and reinvent established characters almost on the fly but for me Warner was too heavily invested in the ONE version of Batman that became currently popular and that was himself a re-invention of classic Batman. For me classic Batman and classic Superman were not starters but yes These versions of Batman and Superman were too foreign. Warner tried to tell cobbled together disparate stories from the pages instead of taking one character version of sticking with that.

BVS is a mish mash of too many stories shoe horned into a film and a universe and characters that narratively no one cared about.

reply

So true.

It's upsetting to think how this could have been a movie for the ages, if only it had been done right. I still shake my head.

reply

You need brain to understand Snyder film marveltard

reply

If you like this film, you don't have a brain

reply

Go and watch crap kid Disney film bvs is for mature peoples like me

reply

How is this film mature? It's the same rating as marvels movies ?

reply

Bvs was r rated so does mos Snyder cut is also r rated lol marveltard

reply

No it wasn't, just face it , bvs was shit

reply

Don't reply do this douchebag. He's obviously just a dumb kid who constantly repeats the same thing.

reply

I agree about it being pointless to reply to him (even though I do occasionally because I'm very stupid). But he claims to be 48 which I tend to believe only because no kid lies and says they're 48 (28 maybe but no kid who wants to be older wants to be 48). Really the only people who would lie about being 48 are people 49 and older....

reply

I think it's WAY worse if he's really 48,lol. I have to believe he's intentionally trying to sound mentally disabled.

reply

Whatever his story, it's definitely not normal behavior lol

reply

Also, he doesn't represent DC fans. At least not the mature ones.

reply

Me andre etc are true dc fan not fakeass dc lovers aka secretly marveltards

reply

That's not how true fans behave.

Edit: never mind. I see from your username that you're specifically an extended universe fan. Yes, there's a difference between that and a DC fan.

reply

I'm a dc fan since 1973 when I was 3 before several peoples in this site have born lol

reply

It doesn't show. I'm not saying you shouldn't argue your points but your method lacks total and utter dignity. Very ungentlemanly.

reply

Shut up marveltard lol

reply

Thank you for proving my point. You're no DC fan. You appear to be a rather mundane idiot.

reply

"Go and watch crap kid Disney film bvs is for mature peoples like me"

Well done sir. Excellent troll.
Wait , you were being serious?

reply

Bvs is for mature peoples and it is true lol

reply

That's where it belongs.

reply

"BvS...A movie that KILLED a Potential 6 to 10 Billion dollar franchise in JL...."

And if that happens I for one will owe this film a debt of gratitude. I might even watch it .

reply

Admit it you hate bvs because you cant understand the masterpiece lol

reply

no i did my homework .. i watched this:
"best BvS recap ever lol"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNjhtHyihJ0

saved me from watching the film :)

reply

that is 10 times better than the really thing, and i didnt switch it off after 2 mins

reply

you guys deserve crap bullshit films like thor crapnork and guardian of the shit 2 lol

reply

never heard of those films

reply

Wrong dumb shit, I believe that Jurassic World with Bryce Dallas Howard out running the t-rex in high heels is more mocked then anything in BvS.

reply

Goddamn you billbrown7071 Ive never read such RENTENTLESS SAVAGRY! WITH NO MERCY!! (DC fan huddled in corner after reading ur post "have some mercy sir..be kind..pleease" said in feeble beaten tearful voice)

AGGGRRAAAAGGHH DAMN YOU AND YOUR STONE COLD FACTS! GOD! DAMN YOU TO HELLLLL!! lol

reply

Really you do not present much of an argument, but assertions. BvS made $873 M world. 63% of the audience liked it on RT. Justice League did okay. 74% liked it on RT. DC CBM will continue on.

Oh man did you just screw up, its almost like you intentionally said things that I can easily destroy you on....

ok here with go, I'm now going to go point by point and obliterate you ....

BvS made $873 M world

^^^^
right and due to WB letting the budget balloon out of control to 350 to 400 Million, BvS Made ONLY a small small 100 Million dollar Profit....for example to let you know how bad that is, Marvel Studios made more profit from Ant-Man 1, despite it making only 519 M WW....

Next the reason why 863 is Truly awful is because, Exceptions for BvS were 1.5 Billion....With 1 Billion + being the Floor....Man Of steel just made 670 M, and Now WB was adding Batman for the first ever Cinematic Meeting between B+S, The Last 2 Batman films that featured ONLY Batman both Made over 1 Billion....there was not 1 box office site or analyst that predicted BvS to make Less than 1 Billion....The Fact that BvS Literally Made almost 200 Million dollars less than The Last SOLO Batman film is nothing but a colossal and unimaginable FAILURE

Next,within 2 weeks of BvS's release, WB DEMOTED Zack Snyder, and hired Berg and JOhn's to now run the DCEU branch, and Most embarrassing, WB canceled an entire JL film immediately after BvS's release, JL was announced, Greenlit and already had release dates to be a 2 parter....after Snyder shit the bed with BvS, WB forced him to make the film into just 1 film, lol and not only that, they mandated Johns had to over see the entire production , be on set looking over Snyder should.

and finally, Lets not forget, BvS is directly responsible for Suicide Squad being a complete mess, as WB went into full panic mode after BvSs release and wildly interfered in Suicide Squads post production, SS was Done, It was a completed film, after BvS came out to universally hatred, WB tried to complete change the TONE of an already completed film, They hired a completely new Editing company to come in and make a different cut of the film to try and lighten the tone and add humor, lol and then astonishin(and I've never heard of this ever being done before) They held 2 different screenings for test audiences, 1 showing the directors cut of the film, and 1 showing The New cut made by an outside editing company, and decided which ever one tested better was the one that was going to be released....the new cut won, just barely, this of course resulted in disaster with The film getting torn apart for being mess

this is not an exaggeration, about the ONLY thing you can say about BvS's box office in a positive light is.....It didnt flop....thats it....It disappointed in every way possblle , It was a disastrous, It didnt get close to exceptions, It ruined at least 3 future films, It got people fired and demoted....But It didnt flop


63% of the audience liked it on RT.

^^^

please for your own sake due some research before throwing shit out....

lol BvS's cinema score(The Only true way to track Audience reactions) was a B-....The Awful , Literally among the worst ever for a CBM, Its the same score has Catwoman and Green Lantern....

Next BvS, Had near historic Box office Drops after Opening weekend, and in some cases Literally Never before seen Drops....This is from a direct result of Word of mouth not only being bad but POISONOUS

DC CBM will continue on.

^^

right DC CBM's will go on....but "The DCEU" the started with BvS is DEAD...Its creator(Snyder) is fired, Its Dark, Depressing and colorless tones are no more, replaced now with extremely colorful movies filled with humor like Shazam and Aquaman, all future movies are intentionally being written to distance themselves from The DCEU, WW1984 is intentionally written and taking place in this time so it can be a solo film free of any Justice League connections....The Flash movie is based on Flash point but All Justice League characters have intentionally been written out to distance itself from The FAILED JL Film and FAILED DCEU...

reply

and its now confirmed BOTH Cavil and Affleck are out as B+S, With Batman being completely rebooted and no Superman movies coming for years....

lol the DC films Will always "Go ON"....but the DCEU is DEAD....and its DEAD as a direct result of BvS being the biggest Trainwreck nt Hollywood history....It was supposed to start a Cinematic Universe, Instead we now know It In fact KILLED a cinematic Universe, It was so awful, so wrong, There was truly no way to recover from it....


Justice League did okay. 74%

^^^

I almost didnt even respond to this as I didnt know if you were entirely serious but now I do think your serious so I'll go ahead and embarrass you...

by "Okay" do you Mean A film that LOST at least 60 Million Dollars?

By "Okay" do you mean a Film The Astonishingly resulted in BOTH DIRECTORS being fired(has that ever happened before) lol BOTH Zack Snyder and Whedon were Fire once thier cuts were shown....Snyder was fired immediately after showing his first cut to WB....Whedon was brought on, Completed the film, immediately after its release, Patty Jenkins demanded he be fired after seeing the film and seeing what He did with Wonder Woman in The film

By "okay" do you mean, Never getting a Sequel?

By "Okay" do you mean Awful reviews, bad cinemascores, average audience scores, MONSTER Box office Drops due to Bad WOM....

By "Okay" do you mean nearly All Cast members coming out and speaking against the film saying they were disappointed in what made the cut and didnt make the cut...

By "Okay" do you mean a film that had "Avengers Type Potential and expectation" yet couldnt even mount HALF of its box office in ANY WAY...I mean Literally In every way possible JL couldnt even equal 50% of Avengers Box office....
*JL made 93 Million OW....thats not even half of The Avengers 207 OW
*JL Made 228 Million domestically, thats not even half of The Avengers 620 M
*JL made 647 Million WW, thats not even HALF of The Avengers 1.5 Billion +

were talking about the biggest missed opportunity in Hollywood history here, A film that had 1.5 Billion + potential and could have been a 3 to 5 film franchise and Its DEAD after 1 film and Your saying thats "Okay".....your entitled to your opinion, But I can guarantee theres not 1 exec at WB, saying at board meeting "JL did OKay", Theres not 1 box office analysts saying "JL did Okay"

lol Marvel Studio is currently on thier 4th Avengers film(5th if you count Civil War) and The Avengers franchise is now Officially The Biggest box office draw and attraction in Hollywood History, Its the only franchise in History to have 4 straight films open over 175 Million, make over 400 Million domestically and make over 1.150 Billion, most recently Setting the all time Opening weekend record with the latest Avengers film and becoming only the 4th film ever to top 2 Billion....Avengers Is literally Biggest box office draw and attraction ever, has resulted in 6 Billion dollars+ and could go on forever.......and WBs Justice League franchise is DEAD after 1 film where they LOST 60 Million.....

lol A Franchise that could have and should have resulted in 6 Billion +....Is DEAD after 1 film .....and you think thats ""Okay"

at this time, You should log off your computer, go smoke a cig, and feel SHAME!

reply

The only thing that's more embarrassing than the DCEU is your grammar lol! I mean you completely butchered the English language retard...not only that but you also indirectly say something positive about DCU by admitting that if WB would get competent executive producers and director that Justice League would very likely rival Avengers, well I don't know what your problem is with DC, maybe it has something to do with your claim that DC fans are obnoxious trolls but Marvel fanatics are just as obnoxious and immature as any DC fan, so maybe both sides just need to give it a rest cause this is getting out of hand.

reply

First, you didn't make any argument of the kind until I brought it up; Your OP has no argument whatsoever. My argument is not comparing apples and oranges as you are doing, but judging BvS on its own merits. Snyder was successful with DoD (1978), 300 and others. The writers were David Goyer and Christopher Nolan. So no problem there. However, MoS did not turn out as fresh like the Christopher Reeve version. It was not terrible either. Henry Cavil made for an excellent Superman when Reeve was pegged as the status quo. What happened to the MoS vision by the creative team incl Snyder is really murky. I think Snyder wanted to lay the groundwork first by having a Superman series like the Dark Knight trilogy. However, some force in the process made the decision to go with MoS in the can vs letting the release date slip and making it better. The people in charge were ready to make a better movie to kick off its franchise, but some group wanted to release it ASAP. Thus, the mixed reviews.

After the mixed reviews, what is the direction to go? Again, the background story becomes murky and it *appears* that Snyder is the one to lead putting the new Superman franchise into mothballs and release BvS. I'm not sure if this is the case as Snyder wanted Wonder Woman, Aquaman and others. For some reason, the production team became impatient-greedy. Once BvS (and Justice League) was given the green light, I think it was pretty much under the same guiding force as MoS. Moreover, expectations were stratospheric for BvS and understandably so. When it didn't meet expectations, that's when the critics came out of the woodwork en masse. Who's to blame? It's Nolan and Goyer, I think. They picked Zack Snyder to helm the critical reboot. Even with Snyder on board, his initial plan was to bring the Superman storyline and reboot up-to-date per his vision. This vision changed once MoS was in the can. It could be some other prod person(s), but they're unknown.
