You'd think if they bothered to show them in the trailer, they'd at least keep them in the movie. Its like Warner Bros just doesn't know how to make movies, in a very literal sense. They don't know you're supposed to put scenes FROM the movie IN the trailer, not just random scenes that you've already cut.Samtemdo8 said:You think they keep those scenes to keep the whole "Fun and Witty" tone for this reshot theatrical release ;PSilentpony said:Joker saying "i can't wait to show you my toys."

Nothing will be as silly and stupid as the Roger Moore era.President Bagel said:I never in my entire life thought I'd hear someone call Die Another Day their favourite Bond film. It's not by any means the absolute worst, but it's easily one of the weaker (and sillier) entries.
I don't know, for WB/DC, that may not be entirely true. Remember when 90% of the trailer footage from the Dawn of Justice trailers ended up being nonsensical in the movie, because they were obviously put into the script/story board because someone up top said 'That'll look great in a trailer,' regardless of how little sense it made?Silentpony said:You'd think if they bothered to show them in the trailer, they'd at least keep them in the movie.

Ultimately, we the people are to blame for this. Acting on the internet's opinion is like trying to build a castle out of the tides.Sixcess said:The behind-the-scenes stuff that is now coming out about the editing process is terrifying. Leto has no presence in the movie because most of his scenes ended up on the cutting romm floor for the sake of a lighter rating friendly tone. The picture being painted is of a studio utterly in thrall to preview audiences and willing to compromise any shred of artistic integrity or just basic competence that the creative teams are trying to deliver, because they're still desperately trying to do the Marvel thing.
And it's still not working.
I've never understood the complaint that the DC films disrespect or otherwise disregard the source material. Looking at their films from the position of a long-time comic book fan, they're much more in line with the comics than the Dark Knight films were.BuildsLegos said:Marvel dominates so much because DC can't get their shit together beyond "It needs to be miserable, confusing, and disrespectful to the source". You know, the opposite of a successful franchise.
It's not that Man of Steel had too much building punching. It's that Zack Snyder doesn't understand Superman as a character.bastardofmelbourne said:The writers at Forbes generally seem to like the new DC movies. Their tastes seem to be mostly in line with my own; the linked review is basically my opinion of the film.
They gave a really thoughtful review of BvS that I thought was a nice island of sensibility amidst the raging ocean of turbulent bile that accompanied that film's first week.

Maybe that's the problem? I know when Superman Returns came out, it caught a lot of flak for aping the Donner films and not having enough action in it- as opposed to Singer's other project, which adapted the parts of the X-Men franchise that worked (Weapon X) and dumped what didn't (yellow spandex).
Then Man of Steel comes out, gives us a new design for Krypton and a new Zod with tons of building-punching, and we don't like that either. We trash one film for being too similar and the next one for being too different.
Man, the Internet's dumb.
You're right, how wrong of me for expecting Superman to act like Superman. It's not like he's an established character or anything.IOwnTheSpire said:FTFY.Kenbo Slice said:It's not that Man of Steel had too much building punching.

Superman is an established character, yes, but he's been around for over 70 years, written by numerous writers. People say he shouldn't be all brooding, yet he has been before. People say he shouldn't kill, yet he has before. There is no one correct version of Superman, and getting angry at a film for presenting their version of this character, a perfectly valid one, is absurd.Kenbo Slice said:You're right, how wrong of me for expecting Superman to act like Superman.

Zack Snyder at least on the most Basic Level understand Superman....unlike Leifeld's Superman:Kenbo Slice said:You're right, how wrong of me for expecting Superman to act like Superman.
