<p dir="auto"><strong>megaknocker</strong> — <em>9 years ago(August 06, 2016 01:57 PM)</em></p>
<p dir="auto">Make no bones about it - this was arguably one of the worst CBM's I have ever seen.</p>
<ul>
<li>Motivations were paaaaaaaper thin</li>
<li>Disjointed and jarring editing job</li>
<li>Improper use of flashbacks</li>
<li>Forced obnoxious use of nostalgic pop tracks from multiple decades that don't lace into the narrative</li>
<li>Cringe-worthy dialogue and excessive lip service due to character cramming</li>
<li>Dark and dreary saturated cinematography throughout</li>
<li>The main antagonists were the worst of all recent CBM's</li>
<li>Forced cameos (Batman's somewhat ties into the film, but at the same time feels so shallow)<br />
This movie was my worst fear. I thought I would give it a chance, even though my gut feeling was not good and that was well before the reviews started pouring in. The trailers came off like a kooky pop song bathed in sugar and having already seen what the WB has been up to the "bait and switch" factor was high. I can count maybe two or three things I liked - the hilarious Belle Reve main security guard and then DeadShot. But that's it. I initially enjoyed Amanda Waller and then the train started derailing as she progressed into outright villainy.<br />
The screenplay was a messy, juvenile hack job and some of these characters simply should've have never made it to the big screen together - the worst offender being Enchantress. I mean David Ayer and Co. literally made themselves a baloney, grape jelly, and ketchup sandwich on gluten free tree bark. The battle in the third act was sheer nonsense, which is where you end up when the writing leaves you no choice and things are happening just to happen. Can't forget the absurdly blatant racial stereotyping with Killer Croc and El Diablo. Some of the comments coming out of their mouths made me want to smack David Ayer in the mouth. Can someone tell me why Katana and Captain Boomerang were even in this? The latter was more useless than Batman at the end of BvS. By the way there is no chance the events in this film would have gone unnoticed by the prematurely formed League members.<br />
Jared Leto's portrayal wasn't actually half bad, but he and Harley's hamfisted love story was distracting to the overall narrative of the film. He was basically a glorified marketing tool. For God sakes please get rid of that distracting grill he was wearing. Just completely unnecessary and I'm sure I left out a lot other things too (oh ya Rick Flagg for one). Seriously I must've looked over at my sister and her boyfriend 15+ times - all of us with the "what the hell are we watching" on our faces. This movie should've never been made - at least not this early in the DCCU. It was a rush job, trying to capture the demo Deadpool and GOTG did (not a fan of those films either).<br />
I give it a 3 out of 10. As someone who doesn't come from a background of knowing these characters from the comics (outside of the obvious), it's hard to ignore/forgive the flaws - they practically claw at your eyeballs making suspension of disbelief damn near impossible. This movie makes BvS actually feel like a coherent, well structured film. I just want to know how how any studio exec can proceed with something like this. The quality control has completely gotten away from the WB as they rush to unspool their DC universe.</li>
</ul>

<p dir="auto">No, its scheduled to start production in 2017.<br />
Look it up.<br />
Out of curiosity, why don't you just not watch the sequel?</p>

<p dir="auto">They will not start filming on that schedule. It'll be 2020 before we have to endure more of this crap.</p>

<p dir="auto">According to reports filming should start sometime in 2017.<br />
So it will probably come out somewhere between 2018-2019.</p>

<p dir="auto">When you have a guy dressed up as a flying rodent and another guy flying around in a red cape and booties, do you really need to try and depress everyone to be taken seriously? I do say "try" because even though it was dark and gloomy, BvS did NOT connect emotionally. For example, Million Dollar Baby had a depressing ending because you CARED about the lead character. The writing and set up were superb and balanced. There was humor, kindness and intrigue before the depressing turn of events. There's NONE of that in BvS at any point or in any act. Everything feels piecemeal and nothing feels set up at all. That's the definition of shallow and a prime example of terrible writing and poor story structure.</p>

<p dir="auto">Im with you Megaknocker but I thought the Jared Leto and Robbie sucked ass as Joker and Harleytheir love story was cringe worthy but the acting was even worse if you ever read a comic about these two<br />
~If the realistic details fails, the movie fails~</p>

<p dir="auto">Ghost Rider is a good comparison because after the awful first one why make another? After MOS was panned, why did the WB stay in this direction? SAME mistakes.</p>
