Is There Anyone Here That DOESN'T Think CW was better than the TC of BVS?

Grace Randolph is all over the place
Tyrone Magnus is cool though, and he kinda is coming from the GA perspective. Like he doesn't care a ton about all of the techincal aspects of the movies, just which one entertained him more. -

I think that Civil War was easily the better film than UC. However I do feel that it was a real shame that the UC was not the edition that was shown in the cinema because it is clearly superior than the TC which was a mess.

Asa Butterfield.
Says he prefers the grit of DC's movies.
At the end of the day, I'd say I enjoy the BvS TC more than Civil War. I've just seen enough from Marvel. There are too many movies that I dislike in that franchise and it's just left a sour taste in my mouth.
I just don't care about their characters.

That's what I mean. Technically, Civil War was a superior film to BvS TC but they're both so different in tone. I Just prefer BvS' style. And therefore I like it more overall. And it's not like Civil War is SO technically superior to the BvS TC that it's night and day. One just had more editing flaws than the other.
Not enough to sway my vote.
Take Suicide Squad for example, totally different tone than BvS and I hated that one. But I've seen other people say it's a better movie than BvS
Just depends on what kind of movie you like.

I understand where you are coming from. I was a bit mixed on that myself for a while but then WS was awesome and from then on Marvel had nothing but 9 or 10s in my opinion (GOTG, AOU, Ant Man and Civil War).

AOU, Avengers and Thor 2 are the worst Marvel movies I've seen, imo. I really don't find Joss Whedon is an impressive director.
His movies are so painfully mainstream.

IMO, Civil War had the more coherent story. Not to mention more emotional stakes with the characters than in BvS:TC. We never met the current Batman, and the current Superman is VERY divisive.
With Civil War, we, the audience, has known Tony since 2008, we've known Steve and Thor since 2011, Black Widow since 2010, and Hawkeye since 2011. And the current Hulk since 2014. We've had years to get to know these characters.
Having some of the more erratic emotionally driven scenes given by Tony, fits, we know how Tony is since 2008, we know how he tends to be more emotionally driven when stress is high. This is something that has been shown to us through five movies before Civil War.
We know how Steve is never going to give up on his friends, because we've seen him be that way for four movies before this. We know the characters.
With BvS:TC we don't have ANY of that kind of background, and it doesn't work.
But that's just me.

I like your take on Civil War and how well it emotionally resonated because of the 8 year buildup.
For me with BVS, I didn't need the years of buildup. In contrast to Civil War, this wasn't a both sides are right thing. In BVS, Batman is a villain (until "Martha"). He's a villain with good motivations. And that really worked for me, showing how dark a hero could go. It's the line right out of Harvey Dent's mouth in TDK "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain". And that's what Batfleck was. A villain. Superman was the hero. -

Except that I don't see Superman as a hero in the current universe because of how badly I feel Snyder did with MoS.
I see why Batman had a hate on for Superman in this, it showed. I also think his complete 180 because of Martha was very poorly done. And don't get me started with his killing, yet having the Joker still alive and the Dead Robin's weapon being what looks like a Halberd.
Tony flipping out and attacking Steve and Bucky the second he learns that the Winter soldier killed his parents, TOTALLY in character.
Batman and Superman in BvS. Totally OOC.

I respectfully disagree about MOS Superman. I loved it. The only un-hero like thing he did was kiss Lois and joke in the rubble of dead people which took me out of it for 2 minutes.
The Martha scene is a very controversial topic. For me though, the Martha scene was Bruce looking in the mirror and realizing that he was Joe Chill in that situation. He had realized he was the monster, the very thing he set out to destroy. His PTSD was screwing with him, which was why he was acting erratic ( WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME). He was about to kill an innocent person who had human loved ones. That's what the Martha scene did for me.
With Bruce's killing, it didn't bother me as much because I kinda understood where he was coming from and the fact that it didn't happen until the Metropolis incident.
Although I think they missed a huge opportunity with the killing. If he hadn't killed yet, it would be a buildup through the entire movie that Superman would be his first kill, which for me, would have been a better buildup. Like everything is leading up to his first kill: Superman and this will be his legacy. It would have made more sense to me. -

And the part where he completely destroys that one guy's truck because he was humiliated. Such a great example of heroism there Clark. /sarcasm

Except Clark isn't innocent, he's VERY much responsible for a lot of the death and destruction that happened. So no, the Martha scene made no sense. And the 180 was WAY too abrupt.

Batman. Does. Not. Kill.
That has been part of his psychosis for over 70 years. That is extremely OOC of the character and one of the reasons that Jason Todd was so pissed in Under the Red Hood.

If he hadn't killed yet, it would be a buildup through the entire movie that Superman would be his first kill, which for me, would have been a better buildup.

See, THAT would have made sense, not a Batman that's worse than the Punisher.
