Wut,
We have gotten a big chunk of a Batman setpiece fight, Wonder Woman leaping into the fight as well as dialogue, extended clip of Batman fighting Superman, a flash of Lois & Clark.
Doubt we see anything else new though.

Who is buying these tickets? This movie looks to be about as good as the last Superman.

The Batman v Superman movie will be a two hour tracking shot of every single DC character crying in the rain.

I don't think that Superman V Batman is an interactive movie although it would be cool if people could control the action during the fight.

Nope. Unfortunately they are not going to have the 70mm cut. I booked tickets to AMC Citywalk. It's the only one with a full size IMAX screen with 70mm cut
I think even Renner is amused by the atrocious blue costume.

bought my ticket this morning ^_^ midnight showing.
All of these are extended shots of previously shown footage. They haven't shown anything past that Doomsday reveal yet.

I loved that it took things people didn't like about Man of Steel and jiu-jitsued them into being part of the story.
I'll add that I love the way Batman and Superman fight: http://www.ew.com/article/2016/02/29/batman-v-superman-clip-ben-affleck-henry-cavill …
I'm not the critic, so I won't review BvS. I'll say I prefer a troubled Superman and thought this delivered. It surprised me, too.
I gotta go write, but last things I'll say about seeing #BatmanvSuperman. (Personally, I was happy.)

I don't know how hard it is for people to grasp a movie called 'Batman v Superman' might actually draw in a big crowd.
At this same point Deadpool was tracking at $50-60m over three days IIRC so that's probably something to keep in mind.
I'd say the good money would be on $160-175m at this moment in time but it could easier go higher...., or lower I suppose.
The main thing to take away from this is that BvS is connecting with people and it will, unsurprisingly, find an audience.

what if i wanted to love MoS but there were like 2-3 incredibly stupid things that kept me from doing so?
is there something as comparably stupid as the twister scene, for example?

Well:
And he thought the score was amazing, so I think overall he loved the movie. Or was really happy with it at least.

Number 3 is a HUGE issue with me :/
You can't be surprised that the film takes that direction given that all the material we've seen from the film clearly shows its grim/dark aesthetic.
I don't see how they can really avoid that with a direct follow-up to a pretty self-serious movie involving most/all the same characters. Batman isn't going to be the one to bring levity to this universe...
Snyder gonna Snyder
This. That stood out to me on the list. Really curious as to what that is going to be.
I don't see the relevance.

#3... uh oh
Very very interested in that.
Then you will likely take issue with the entire slate.
Suicide Squad? Also I doubt Flash or Shazam will be anywhere near this grim.
I'm saying no one should be surprised a new Zack Snyder movie adopts the kind of tone present in every other Zack Snyder movie.
Number 3, yikes.
Why? Batman is inherently grim-dark. And what's wrong with having a grim-dark comic book movie? We've got a ton of rainbow coloured and a one-liner every 20 seconds in 12 MCU movies so far. X-Men movies aren't really that or grim-dark and ride the line in between. Now we've got something on the other end of the spectrum. Variety is good.

grim/dark is fine, kinda hate that term though. it's about as corny as saying "edge"...
the problem is whether or not it's executed well. we have 14 comic book movies a year. they can't all be the same light-hearted thing. not to mention none of them have even done extremely well with that balance yet since spiderman 2. i'd say tdk and dofp had a good mix of both. but some people here think tdk was too self important and humorless, and dofp was shit. so, whatever...

Agreed, don't really see the issue as long as the movie holds up.
Depends on their roles really but you're still talking 3 out of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern Corp, Cyborg and Aquaman. Then there is Justice League Dark as well.
I mean... if someone else tackled this same story, would they deviate so hard from a dark tone when the core of the story is "Superman is a fucking danger to the planet after thousands were killed in an alien invasion, and I, Batman, need to stop him"?
I didn't hate Man of Steel but I didn't think it was that good either. Certainly had a lot of issues. BvS despite being mostly a Batman film has a more saturated and brighter color palette than Man of Steel.
If they took the issues of MoS and improved upon them then this should be a good, entertaining film. My main concern is the pacing.

Have no issues with any of this. Have a feeling I'm going to love this movie.

That tracking estimate is low, I think. Which has to make Warners happy.
Grim/Dark is a term I think people have largely been using to wrongly describe something else. Just because a story is serious or perhaps to serious, and one doesn't like that, that doesn't mean it's a grim story. I would guess some don't want to be seen as describing something as "to serious" or "to earnest" in what it's attempting and then not liking it. That might be seen as a negative on the person. So saying it's to "grim" makes them come off better and pushes the negative on the film itself.
I forgot who now, but someone pointed out that it's a strange strategy.
Usually rivals will try to make a film seem larger than possible so that there's a bit of deflation when it comes in under expectations.
this seems to be a case where folks may be downplaying its potential, which would only benefit Warner if it easily surpasses them (which believe will)
