I like the comments about inspiring superhero and all that. But I actually responded pretty positively to what snyder was doing in BvS. So comments about this being "the first good dceu" movie are failing to ring with me
It looks like the multiple other comic movies I can see every year. But good on them for making something a lot more people will like, and I was planning on seeing it for sure so I'm glad it's shaping up to be pretty good.

Pretty well over superhero movies entirely, but if RLM guys give it a resoundingly good review I might see it, just to support female directorial/lead roles.

sounds good but i'm going to wait for reactions of good sites/writers. i don't really care for twitter opinions of buzzfeed, tech blogs and video game websites.
the part about the optimistic tone has me excited tho

My current DCEU ranking would be:
MoS: Average at best and mediocre at worst.
BvS: Disappointing, but I consider it better than MoS.
SS: Definitely terrible!

Wasn't this supposed to be shit?
Not to diminish the fact that this seems actually decent, but "the best DCEU" film means nothing when the rest was horrible.
Cause randos on the internet are always right
It appears to me all DCEU movies social media reviews have people creaming themselves.
I still remember certain social media people wanking themselves silly with glee over Suicide Squad and BvS and I'm sorry those movies are gutter trash!
I'll wait for some impressions I can respect and trust.

Ww was the best thing about BvS

I'm a big fan of Rucka's Wonder Woman so this is encouraging.
That's an odd way of saying Batman.

That's nice to see. I'm still not getting my hopes up too much since a lot of superhero films that review well end up falling flat for me so I'm taking these tweets with a grain of salt. Still, it's pretty cool to see a DC movie getting a positive reception, it's been a while. And the praise for Gadot seems to be unanimous and she was my biggest concern with the film so... Yeah, bring it on, Patty!
Also very pleased to see that Rucka liked it. Best WW writer ever imo.

You just got added to the list, Woofington.

The odds were not in her favor. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior and DC has shit the bed at every opportunity. But I've seen tweets from reputable sites praising it so the curse may have been lifted.
Paul Dini 'liked' Suicide Squad, didn't he?
Paul Dini wrote Arkham City and thought that was good so not much trust in him
I'm mean we're comparing Dini to Rucka here. Dini and Ostrander were just happy to see their respective creations on the big screen. You might think Rucka is biased, but he keeps it real at all times.
I mean, in fairness, it's wierd, but I've seen a serious disconnect between the stuff writers write and the other fiction writers enjoy. George RR Martin really like Wheel of Time, which I think is epically bad, as just one example. So Greg Rucka liking it fills me with some hope, but it's not a confirmation of anything.
no that was Batman.
ww was a shit out of place forced cameo/muh universe building tool that had no character , no purpose to be in movie. also she had worst scenes with that email sequence and her terrible acting and not being able to speak english didnt help on library scenes

Did you watch a dubbed version or something? I had no trouble understanding Gal in any of her scenes in BvS.
Not being able to speak english? If you speak english and couldn't understand her I think the problem lies with you.
It's with those kind of lines that help to separate the trolls from the honest opinions

Man of Steel: 2/3rd a terrible, TERRIBLE Superman origin movie, 1/3rd the live action DBZ movie dreams are made of.
Batman v. Superman: The worst film of 2016, The worst CBM ever made and possibly the worst film of all time.
Suicide Squad: ...at least it isn't the worst DCEU film OR the worst Will Smith movie of 2016
