Sooo you don't think that's weird....a billionaire big city playboy and a socialite, at the funeral of a small town reporter in Smallville?

And what exactly was Clark Kent's cause of death? A major fuckup, they could have just said he was missing. They really can't kill Superman ever again so there won't be any tension of him dying in Justice league or any of his stand alone movies....Or they just might be THAT stupid.
 
When Flash came to Bruce and said Lois is the key it's looks like they're going with the Injustice story but it's being rushed. Superman hasn't been a hero long enough and they're already killed him (now there's nothing at stake because we know they won't kill him again) and now they wan't to make him into a villain.

Ok.o_O. Just confims how stupid that shit is then. Chromed out casket with no body, fuck outta here nigga.
What is a Memorial Service?

Much like a funeral, a memorial service celebrates the life of the deceased. The only difference is that there is no body present.

Memorials
are often held in a church, a fraternal hall, or other appropriate location, and take place a few days or a couple of weeks after the death of a loved one.

Correction... It just confirms how stupid YOU are. o_O
 
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

2 of the most iconic DC comics characters finally meet up on the big screen in
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to duke it out.....but is it any good? Yes and
no
Director Zack Snyder gets some things right linking his Man of Steel film to
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in a terrific opening sequence showing Bruce Wayne's/Batman's point of view of when Superman
battled Zod over Metropolis ,which along with a Kryptonian terraformer caused massive death and destruction
Also there is a great summary of what drives Batman

Ben Affleck is as great as i thought he would be as Batman,hitting all the right notes,along with his great chemistry with
Jeremy Irons as Alfred also quite good in his portrayal of the loyal father like figure in Wayne's life
Henry Cavill is still serviceable as Superman but i wanted to see more range from him.I truly hope i see more of it
in the DC films to come and a further exploration of the Batman and Superman relationship.
Gal Gadot is fine as Wonder Woman and i admit right here i went into super geek mode when she does a a
certain thing during an action sequence
Amy Adams does well as Lois Lane ,the investigative reporter taking risks worldwide,and also the loving girlfriend of the man
of steel.
There are some really glorious and exciting moments in the film even if you're the slightest Comic Book fan
I had no worries about the action sequences because Snyder can direct the hell out of an action sequence
The fight between the two titans has some great moments

The bad stuff:What's odd i was kind of digging Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor when he first appears he's calculating
and you know he's up to no good.Then he starts doing this odd sniveling thing with a slight moan ,that soon goes to manic.
I did like the beyond sinister things he did that kind of shocked me,but his portrayal would have worked as a different DC villain
but as Luthor......NO !!

There are plot holes and a couple of things are left unexplained

The flow of the movie is definitely off at times.I can best describe it like this you're at an amusement park and you know what rides you want to
get on but you keep getting distracted by other little amusements in the park,and you only get to a few rides that you wanted to get on

The final battle which was partially ruined by a trailer months ago has it's moments but of course would have worked better
if i didnt know it was coming

So is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice worth seeing in the theatre:YES
Do i think it's a good gateway to the upcoming films:YES

Not a perfect film,and it's the first in awhile that i have had to struggle with grading in awhile

Scale of 1-10 a 7½
I completely disagree with anything good in this review - except Batman, and even he got shitted on
there should never have been a movie where Batman shoots someone with an m60 machine gun! FROM LESS THAN 15 FEET AWAY!

7.5 is too generous

The definite advantage here is the cost- no embalming, no casket, no grave liner or vault. The organized memorial service movement wants to do away with elaborate funerarl rites advocating "dignity, simplicity, and economy" instead. The feeling is that spirituality is sacrificed with all the materialist trappings associated with funerals




Dude you are trying WAY to fucking hard. Enjoy eating whatever they are giving you but don't judge me for someone giving me a TV dinner and then get mad and tell me is filet mignon. Again your dumbass thought LEX LUTHOR vandalized Robin's suit.
 
Well this doesn't look good...

Updated ‘Batman v Superman’ Numbers Take Away Warner Bros.’ Box Office Record
batman-v-superman-ben-affleck-bruce-wayne-slice-600x200.jpg

Though Warner Bros.’ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice undeniably had a huge opening weekend at the box office, it seems as if early estimates were slightly over-eager.
Weekend estimates had the domestic tally at $170.1 million and a global total of $424.1 million.
Those numbers were enough to put Zack Snyder’s film in the top spot by far for the domestic box office race, as well as making it the biggest opening for: a DC Comics film, Snyder himself, movies opening in 2016 (beating outDeadpool), as well as the biggest openings ever for March, Spring, and Easter weekend. All of those records still stand.

However, the new estimates, which put Batman v Superman’s take at $166.1 million domestically for an adjusted global total of $420.1 million.
Still impressive. That 2.35% dollar deficit has knocked the film from the perch of Warner Bros. best opening ever; the #1 spot is still held by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 with $169.2 million. So close.

henry-cavill-batman-v-superman-600x399.jpg



And yet the reason for the drop in estimates from Friday and Saturday’s box office numbers to the actual report on Monday is this: Batman v Supermanhas apparently set the worst Friday-to-Sunday domestic box office drop rate for a superhero movie ever. AsForbes reports, the Stateside box office take for BvS dropped from Friday’s $82 million to Sunday’s $37 million, for a drop of 55%. For a comparison, Fantastic Four dropped 48% over the course of its opening weekend. Even taking the Easter Sunday holiday out of the equation, Batman v Superman’sFriday-to-Saturday drop came in at 38%, second worst only to The Dark Knight Rises’ 40% drop.

This opening weekend drop over the film’s first three days in theaters not only accounts for the over-estimated box office, it heralds lower-than-anticipated totals for Batman v Superman’s total theatrical run. Negative critical reviews and already slackening box office turn-out suggest that the film will ultimately hit closer to Iron Man 3’s $409 million than Marvel’s The Avengers’ $623 million. We’ve said it on previous box office write-ups: Batman v Superman was expected to have a massive opening weekend; the real test of its success will be told in the weeks ahead.

I tried to tell motherfuckers that those numbers were inflated. This isn't a good sign. Word of mouth is going to kill this. :smh::smh:



Ok... Now someone explain the plothole in this????
 
'Batman v Superman' Sets Record With Worst Friday-Sunday Drop For A Superhero Pic
On Saturday I wrote about the poor Friday-to-Sunday hold that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice suffered in China this past weekend, thinking that Chinese movie audiences were unique in their haste to forget about the widely panned superhero mashup.

But after studying the film’s global release results, I realized that I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Things were far worse in North America than in China. You couldn’t have emptied North American theaters where the movie screened faster if you’d yelled ‘fire’ in the middle of the auditoriums.

Indeed, according to the figures I’ve compiled from Boxofficemojo.com, Batman v Superman has set a new record for the worst Friday-to-Sunday drop for a superhero movie release in modern North American box office history. In dropping 55% from its $82 million Friday debut to its $37 million gross on Sunday, it pummeled all prior records for weakness in theatrical staying power. It even beat the nearly universally reviled and now long-forgotten Fantastic Four reboot, which dropped a comparatively modest 48% across its opening weekend in the summer of 2015. You might be thinking that Sunday was the Easter holiday, which could account for the big Sunday drop. But that still wouldn’t explain the Friday-to-Saturday decline of 38%, which was the second worst opening Friday-to-Saturday drop in the annals of superhero releases, after a 40% dip for The Dark Knight Rises.

As the chart below indicates, superhero movies that don’t hold up well over their first weekend tend not to sustain much energy at the box office over the longer course of their theatrical runs (as indicated by the “Opening Weekend Multiplier.”) The correlations aren’t perfect, but as things stand on Monday morning, Batman v Superman‘s soft Friday-to Sunday hold suggests a final domestic box office gross closer to the $409 million earned by Iron Man 3 than the $623 million earned by Marvel’s The Avengers.
Biggest-Fri-Sun-drops-for-superhero-pics.jpg



It was easy to overlook this fact amidst all the media euphoria over the film’s undeniably huge opening weekend, the fifth best in North American movie history. Many observers objected to the critical drubbing that the film suffered, holding up the first day’s and first weekend’s haul as incontrovertible proof that viewers loved the movie. Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at comScore, was quoted saying “Reviews don’t matter. The Batsuit and Superman’s cape are made of teflon.”

But opening day grosses are far more closely related to marketing spend than they are to audience affection. At Warner Bros, the studio that released the film, it must have been disconcerting for executives to watch the picture’s grosses plummet from Friday to Saturday (-38%), and again from Saturday to Sunday (-27%). I imagine that for them it was akin to the havoc a roller coaster plays with your stomach after you crest that first hill and plunge rapidly to earth. Only this roller coaster isn’t going back up, and the sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach doesn’t go away.

The steep decline in the Batman v Superman numbers points to the unfortunate likelihood that, apart from DC Comics fans, North American audiences don’t like the movie very much. This is problematic for Warner Bros in two critically important ways. First, if the picture’s audience evaporates too quickly its chances for reaching profitability will be threatened. As a friend who is a key player in the Transformers franchise tells me, “These tent-pole action pictures don’t really make as much money as you’d think. The difference between the revenues and the expenses can be pretty slim.”

Second, the studio may face headwinds in its strategy for Batman v Superman to launch a new spate of sequels, spinoffs, and inter-connected franchises that will serve as a reliable anchor for Warner Bros’ movie slates for years to come. The studio’s management has elected to hire the same creative team that made Batman v Superman to oversee the franchise’s future pictures. If mainstream audiences aren’t enamored of the flagship film, it’s going to be a major challenge to win them back.

So I take it that this is the moment where the Palm hits the Face or D.C. Fucked it up and needs to sell their soul to Bruce Timm so he can save them. He is literally their only hope.


 
Damn i just read that to break even this movie has to make 800 million due to marketing and production costs. Sweet Jesus..... Why???

It made 166 million over the weekend. Variety says it needs to make a billion to be considered not a failure. It's going to make its money back but doing a billion is reaching. It did open over seas this passed weekend so that will help. The presale ticket sales were supposed to be on par with Star Wars. The word of mouth isn't going to push the financial success of this movie.

Dude... look what I just posted. D.C. might be in trouble.

This shit had a bigger drop off then Fantastic Four (the extremely crappy version).

Ok... Now someone explain the plothole in this????
so.....
I guess this was Luthor's real plan for Zod?

The organized memorial service movement wants to do away with elaborate funerarl rites advocating "dignity, simplicity, and economy" instead.

Dude you are trying WAY to fucking hard. Enjoy eating whatever they are giving you but don't judge me for someone giving me a TV dinner and then get mad and tell me is filet mignon. Again your dumbass thought LEX LUTHOR vandalized Robin's suit.
They wouldn't have a casket at his 'memorial' if Superman was just an unknown 'stock boy', who worked at the local Walmart. But Superman was a worldwide Icon, so yeah, they threw a city-wide parade and put some MONEY into the 'production' of the whole thing.

It's like the difference between a band playing at a local talent show... And the same band playing at halftime during the Super Bowl.

One show is gonna have a lot MORE shit in it. That's just common sense.

Hence, notice the drastic difference between Superman's funeral services... And Clark Kent's funeral services. Superman gets a big-ass statue and a custom-made casket / or headstone.

Clark Kent gets a (non-descript) pine box.



Lastly, miss me with your bullshit. :hmm:

As I stated earlier... notice that the handwriting on the pay stubs and Robins suit is nearly IDENTICAL. :yes:

Plus I already admitted that I was wrong. :

So that's a 'minor' mistake to make compared to YOU thinking that Superman was being buried in Metropolis in a silver casket... then getting really upset that he actually WASN'T. And trying to make it seem like everybody else was just as confused as YOU were about the whole funeral scene. :rolleyes:

FOH. :hmm: That's retarded.
 
WB/DC is going to be on damage control going forward. Look for possibly Brian Cranston or another fan favorite actor to play Lex Luthor and a respected director to direct the JL films and Snyder having scheduling conflicts.
 
Well D.C. is getting fucked here. So I guess they wanted Zod's love and he was more then willing to provide.
yeah - the analysts don't get it
they are saying the comic book fans will / are supporting the movie

The comic book fans / geeks are the ones that drive the positive word of mouth of a good film
I've seen it for Deadpool Kick Ass and the Dark Knight - those three are massive hits because the core fan base loved the work and spread the word - then non fans came in and saw a good movie and continued the good word
 
Sooo you don't think that's weird....a billionaire big city playboy and a socialite, at the funeral of a small town reporter in Smallville?

Exactly...

They wouldn't have a casket at his 'memorial' if Superman was just an unknown 'stock boy', who worked at the local Walmart. But Superman was a worldwide Icon, so yeah, they threw a city-wide parade and put some MONEY into the 'production' of the whole thing.

But How would the world even know he was dead? Who would have been there to tell everyone? Batman isn't and Wonder Woman wouldn't. They likely left.

So that leaves Lois there to tell the story how he died while still holding on to Superman's dead body. Well fine... that works.

But no... They Fucked it up and had an actual (in the casket) funeral for Clark. How did the body get there?

OK... Let's say that Batman and Wonder Woman took his body before everyone came, because Lois wanted Clark to be buried a man. Fine that works... But show at least one line or a scene that mentions this.
Right now... I'm the government. I show up, because it's obvious the fight it over. I see Lois. I see this dead rampaging monster. I don't see Superman. Lois says he is Dead and I just go with that answer.

Lois says he is dead. She is a reporter.
So it must be true.
Ok.. Let's have a funeral.

GTFOH..
 
And what exactly was Clark Kent's cause of death? A major fuckup, they could have just said he was missing. They really can't kill Superman ever again so there won't be any tension of him dying in Justice league or any of his stand alone movies....Or they just might be THAT stupid.

I think they are just that Stupid.
 
WB/DC is going to be on damage control going forward. Look for possibly Brian Cranston or another fan favorite actor to play Lex Luthor and a respected director to direct the JL films and Snyder having scheduling conflicts.
If next weeks box office numbers are through the floor:

JL production will be on hiatus

Wonder Woman's script will be double checked with a microscope and probably given to Affleck to review... if there wasn't a lot of action before there will be now (IMO - they should write Joss Whedon a blank check to just be a consultant on this movie)

Batman will be fast tracked

WB will watch to see what happens with Suicide Squad before moving forward with the other movies


oh - and a bunch of execs that didn't do proper risk management on this project will be fired over the next 6 months
 
The film opened on Easter Weekend, and had the biggest Box office numbers for an Easter weekend to date. I think it will do fine in the long run.

There wasn't any cameras or reporters. Clark Kent was and is a nobody. Kent's funeral or at least the burial was very small. So it's not Bruce couldn't have gotten around unnoticed.

7.5 is too generous


You know... I'm going to be honest here about Batman in this movie. If you really think about it beyond actually killing people, what exactly did he do that was better then the previous versions of Batman.

I mean the movie was quick to point out that Lex intentionally dropped clues for Batman to allow him to find the Kryptonite. Alfred was the one that actually tracked down Martha Kent. So he didn't use his detective skill to find her. All he did was push a couple buttons on the Bat computer to break the encryption... So it's not like he had to use his Brains to break Lex's passcode. So what did he really do?
 
Exactly...



But How would the world even know he was dead? Who would have been there to tell everyone? Batman isn't and Wonder Woman wouldn't. They likely left.

So that leaves Lois there to tell the story how he died while still holding on to Superman's dead body. Well fine... that works.

Lois says he is dead. She is a reporter.
So it must be true.
Ok.. Let's have a funeral.

GTFOH..
First of all... Neither Lois, Batman, nor Wonder Woman gets to 'decide' where Superman / Clark Kent gets 'buried'. :smh:

Martha Kent (Superman's mom) would make that decision, since he did not (officially) have a wife. :rolleyes:

So none of that bullshit you typed applies to anything whatsoever. :hmm:

You just keep talking outta your ass. :smh:
 
And what exactly was Clark Kent's cause of death? A major fuckup, they could have just said he was missing. They really can't kill Superman ever again so there won't be any tension of him dying in Justice league or any of his stand alone movies....Or they just might be THAT stupid.
I think when Laurence F. character went to see the newspapers as they were coming off the presses, he opened to one of the middle pages and there it said that Kent had died covering the story or something similar.
 
If next weeks box office numbers are through the floor:

JL production will be on hiatus

If Zootophia is number 1 next weekend... DC will be on suicide watch.

I think wondering about why Superman casket was empty and how his body got to Smallville is nit picking. I don't know what was the explanation for Clark Kent missing in the death of Superman story but there are much bigger plot holes to be concerned about. Just my 2 cents.
 
The film opened on Easter Weekend, and had the biggest Box office numbers for an Easter weekend to date. I think it will do fine in the long run.

Numbers don't lie man.. Especially China's numbers. DC has a problem. They have to 800 million.
