Batman Vs Superman! A Dull SCotUS action film? Or the Next Great Comic Book movie?

Ok, that was really good, especially the last 30 seconds or so. Who knew about Taylor and Batman?

No, it is never too early to declare for Team Clark or Team Bruce.

Hopes are ionospheric high with this one. Definitely seeing it in IMAX.

as a huge comic book fan i have no desire to see it, i admit to liking most of the x-men films, the '89 batman and bits and pieces of the nolan franchise, especially the first film in it's entirety, and oddly enough the most recent spiderman films

couldn't get through an hour of the avengers, had no desire to see either hulk or thor, have yet to watch captain america, but loved Agent Carter, watched twenty minutes of green lantern and gave up

I loved the new Batman trilogy, liked Superman Returns and hated Man of Steel. I had serious concerns about this one but I like the way it is setting up in the trailer. Nutcases see Superman as God so naturally Batman has to take him down because people shouldn't worship Superman. I like that premise (if that is really what it is). It also hearkens to The Dark Knight Returns which is probably the most influential work in the Batman universe. I'm starting to have hopes.

Oh, and WW is clearly going to have a bit role but the idea is to set up her movie, so I'm ok with that.

the third series in the Dark Knight comics just started, i didn't like the second installment as much as the first, but this one looks promising, a grown up Carrie is the new Batman, the series is called The Master Race. there is also a one shot prequel, Dark Knight Returns: The Last Crusade, planned for early this coming year

The second Dark Knight series was a disappointment. I am looking forward to the upcoming Frank Miller book. The Dark Knight Returns was one of the biggest reasons for me to obsess over Batman. The other one happened to be Alan Moore's The Killing Joke.

I used to have a first edition of the Killing Joke. No idea where it is right now. Lost to time after I moved to NYC and most of my comic collection stayed in Massachusetts.

There Are Some Serious Quality Differences Among Superhero Movies

The movie was filmed with 70MM special effects scenes, so here is a list of theaters that are showing it in either 70MM film or IMAX With Laser:

http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2016/02/batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice-imax-70mm-laser-screening-information.html

The list of 70MM showings is probably complete. However, I suspect that there are some IMAX With Laser showings that aren't listed, so if you happen to live near one of the larger IMAX venues it might be worth asking your theater.


For those who don't already know the differences (or the significance), in this sort of IMAX movie, scenes with ordinary dialog are shown in normal widescreen format. But for special effects scenes, the projected image expands in height dramatically to display a much bigger picture.

For "70MM IMAX" (sometimes referred to with the number 1570 or 15/70), the resolution of the expanded images is 8K (both horizontally and vertically).

"IMAX with Laser" uses projectors with a 4K horizontal resolution.

Any other IMAX theater will be "Digital IMAX" (also known as LIEmax). These theaters use projectors with a 2K horizontal resolution, and the image does not expand to the full height of the other two versions (although it does expand a little bit).

I can confirm that the Grand Rapids 70MM showing is correct:

Are there any version that were filmed with a good script?
I guess we will find out soon.

Uh oh, a 40% on the Tomatometer isn't good.

I think I'll wait for a cheap download in a few months and see 10 Cloverfield Ln instead. Now that thing's getting some good reviews.

Talk about taking an ice water bath in the Antarctica in the middle of a winter blizzard. I already have my ticket ... so please pray for my soul Rosborne.


You better see that bloody movie! It's AWESOME! Seriously! John Goodman needs an Oscar nod for this one.

I wish you the best of luck. Maybe you will be able to find some redeeming quality to it

40% at Rotten Tomatoes isn't the greatest, but it isn't completely terrible either. There will certainly be problems with it, but the movie should also have some redeeming features. I've enjoyed plenty of movies that Rotten Tomatoes placed into the "middle percentages".

Now, if they'd ranked it 10%.....


For what it's worth, I finally got sick of conflicting figures for the resolution of 70MM IMAX, and went off in search of figures that are grounded in reality:

11,753 x 8,772

Are you going to see it in 70mm IMAX? I see that New York City has one of the 15/70 prints this time:

"AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 & IMAX -- New York"

Nope. I wish that was the case. Someone else picked the theater. Seeing it at Times Square.

The Onion Reviews ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’

One minute to carnage and destruction. Seek shelter!

Reviews are pretty bad. Probably have to see it anyway.
