I hadn't even thought of that, but yeah.
If there isn't an over-reliance on Joker/Batman/$$$ to carry the film it's a kinda brave move.

Now part of me wants to see if I can sneak into the Monday screening out here just to drop early impressions again

They did for the trailers. The trailers made it seem like he has a pretty good role. Even gave him his own character trailer.
Not really an Aquaman villain (aquaman need to keep all 3 of his for his solos), but they could have replaced him with King Shark.

Just be clear this time. Last time Ahasverus was throwing your name everywhere as a champion of BvS' success lol
Tell that to the marketing. By the time most people find out they are a minor part of the film, their asses are already in seats watching the thing with the expectations that it's a villain team movie with Batman and Joker in it. Whatever "bravery" there is in the making of the film is undone by the "cheap" methods they have used to sell the film to people. That is if we consider less Batman/Joker to be brave and more Batman/Joker to be cheap.

I WASN'T WRONG :'(
All joking aside, that's hard. It's really easy for me to find something I like in films, especially blockbusters. There were parts of BvS I really liked and parts I didn't. Personally, I'm of the opinion that it got piled on way too hard. I've seen far worse movies that have reviewed better.

If anyone in here deserves their taste to be questioned it's Bronson. With his weird fish fetish and whatnot.
Do it, we want to know if this movie will be divisive among us!

Joker cuts indeed.

@manthx Apparently "Bye Bye!" scene and the scene of Joker slapping Margot in the streets is not in the final film.
Aka my avatar scene isn't even in the movie
R.I.P
I liked that one
He wears the same Alex Ross' design suit here & I hope this one is not cut

I'm into fishsticks, what do you want
I think it's the only screening happening in Philly, so lots of people jumped on it. It'll probably be a total shitshow just to see a film like 3 days in advance
You don't have to explain it to me. I love my fair share of crap.

Wat, I hope this isn't true. Joker is one of the most intriguing characters in this movie, let's be honest. I doubt there's more than a handful of likely viewers who aren't curious about how Leto's version stacks up to past incarnations.
Removing "a number" of Joker scenes? As in, a number more than one? Hell no.

I could argue that TMNT (snow mountain) and Transformers 3 (Chicago getting fucking crushed) are worth a watch just for their big setpieces
I have no idea why that movie got the budget it did, but I do like the way they shot the fight scenes and racing scenes.
Plot wise it is fucking garbo though, and I dunno why it was PG-13/Speed was cursing like a sailor
Oh no.

Cause it's iconic. I remember all flashes of the freaking Joker especially one where he looks boss with a tux, throwing down a grenade he set off with his teeth, and has his gun pointed at the camera with half of his face messed up.
I'm seeing this tomorrow night, maybe I needed a dose of reality before going in.

I still remember the moment anything BvS-related went to hell on GAF: when you confirmed for someone that it was basically the Iron Man 2 in terms of film-making.
Holy shit did things go downhill fast from there.

Fair
But yo, you have to drop a positive word tomorrow
This thread deserves it. It needs it.

It'd feel quite curious if that was cut because assuming the pre-scarring tux Joker is still in I'm guessing no "showing how he escapes" scene would feel really odd.
I only remember seeing the grenade in teeth bit, not the waving but I only just tweaked it's the Alex Ross suit design so maybe i'm just slow on the uptake

I don't recall that, but the reaction that I got to the BvS thing makes me reaaaaaallly hesitant to drop any early impressions on a film here. We've seen what one tweet/review does.

We'll be nice, I promise!
Fair enough. I can see people liking aspects of it, but I have to question the camp on GAF that declares it an misunderstood masterpiece.
BvS looked to be in trouble after that second trailer. I wasn't completely surprised to see it review poorly, even if it reviewed worse than I predicted.

It's stupid, I like dumb-ass movies like Furious 7 because they jumped a car through a skyscraper 3 times
Most film reviews should take the reviewer's tastes into account, but it usually doesn't happen
Someone else can handle it!

Assault on Arkham barely has the Joker and he still leaves a mark.

ya idk about barely
plot started centering around him halfway through and he was in the climax as well
GAF loves its DC film threads.
Poor Star Trek Beyond's OT can't even make it to 3 pages (superior 100ppp)

never been in an imax cinema. so im planning on watching this on imax. is it worth it?

Those people are fuckin stoopid
I am a Cloud Atlas truther though, I enjoy that movie way more than I should
That's mostly cause everyone rolled to the Spoiler Thread IMO
Weren't twitter impressions positive for Warcraft?
They were? I actually didn't follow that movie at all TBH!=p
That movie's great imo. Everyone see that instead of this shitty DC film.
thats what hes saying, all early Twitter impressions are always positive
Even the spoiler thread is pretty light on conversation.
From what I have seen, the conversation pecking order on GAF seems to be
1) Star Wars (at least pre-Bobby leaving)
2) DC films
3) MCU films
I imagine that DC gets more talk than Marvel in the official threads because there is more to fight over.
Even Fantastic Four 2015 had positive Twitter reactions...that's insane considering how bad the movie is.
That movie was average

I'd say that's about right, though in a perfect world Star Wars would be relegated to Community so I can just ignore them forever
