[Movies] The DC Cinematic Universe - The David Zazlav Dumpster Fire.
Three weeks ago, they were still trying to edit this movie down to its theatrical form, so they can't have planned it out that damn well. I'm curious just how long the uncut Blu-Ray will be.
I think Zack Snyder said the uncut version is 3 hours, whereas the released version is two and half hours.
I've got a free movie ticket for a local theater, so I'll cash it in on this and mention my thoughts on the movie.
My prediction = mixed bag.[DOUBLEPOST=1458601958,1458601922][/DOUBLEPOST]
At this rate, BowieLee will have been right that most of us end up seeing it despite all the mockery.
Nope, still not seeing it theatrically. (Have no babysitting lined up, and even if that changed, I'd rather see Deadpool first.) But I am curious to hear other people's impressions, mostly to figure out how soon we'll try to procure it.
Well yeah, if you have kids it's not like Batman vs Superman is whim-situation

I'm mostly going to see it because my buddy whose wife doesn't let him play video games any more deserves to get out once in a while, otherwise I would wait for netflix.
Oh, that guy. You're doing a good deed, sir.
Snyder talks about why Grant Gustin isn't The Flash in the movies.
e: And yeah, no personal plans to see the movie in theaters. I'll wait for Redbox.

Point ahead of any of that being that the films and the shows are separate continuities and having an actor shared between them would be confusing.
Yeah, I feel like that's a perfect reason. Trying to meld the tv/movie universes could be a real shot in the dark. It works sometimes, but as shown with SHIELD it can cause huge pacing issues when in-between feature releases.
The TV stuff is also much better established right now. This is only the second movie for this DC film continuity, while Flash is on the second season and Arrow's been on for years. And now we have Supergirl. Snyder's right about tone--if Man of Steel set the tone for the films, that doesn't exactly blend with all the fun stuff on Flash.
Watched Amazon's exclusive clip and I'm still just not sold on this. It looks bad.
"You're not brave. Men are brave."
Okay, Batman, and that can be a good critique on Superman from a certain perspective, but it sounds really awkward and maybe not the best time.
Oh well, at least this Batman can enunciate.

Supergirl and Flash crossing streams next week!
And then they break out into song.
That's on Earth 5, where all dialogue is sung.
You seemed to be more knowledgeable about DC comics than anyone I've ever met. How big is your collection?
Hahahahahahahahahahooooooooly shit.

Hah!
It seems to have plateau'd at 42%, which is better than what it was at earlier, but still pretty low even for a cape movie.
I think you mean Captain America. Which is even less motivation to see this.

This entire movie was miscast from start to finish IMO. Batfleck? Lex Facebook? The amazing tiny amazon?
From what little I've seen, I think Aflec and Gal Gadot actually do pretty well. I could be wrong, they could turn out to offer terrible performances, but the reviews I've seen coming in don't list them as the problems, but instead the poor pacing and incomprehensible plot.
Three weeks ago, they were still trying to figure out how to put this thing together. Early fucking March, when it should've already been in the can. Doesn't surprise me the plot is incomprehensible when at that time they still weren't sure if they were going to include the Flash footage.
What I hear is Batman is basically the best part of the movie.
I've told Wonder Woman is. Still pretty telling.
