WoM is gonna be real mixed. Hardcore DC fans will love it but it may be a bit too much for general audiences to take in, and I've seen some people who just straight out hated it and there will be the sheep who follow critics. Why it's that polarizing still baffles me but we'll see if it hits 1 billion or not at the box office.
I'm watching Man of Steel right now and I forgot how much I liked the movie. They did a really good job with the movie, especially with exploring Superman's humanity. I feel like there was too much hype and high expectation for the movie. I think people were comparing it to the marvel movies with a high standard and perhaps the controversial ending did not help the movie at all even though I think it was a great way to understand why Superman became Superman. I'm bummed that MOS and BvS has gotten a lot of flak from critics and fans as well. I don't know what DC can do to fix this.

If it had it my way, I would've done things differently. For example, I would've had
Phase 1: Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, Batman, BvS,
Phase 2: Suicide Squad, The Flash, Aquaman, Justice League
Phase 3: Green Lantern Corps, Cyborg, MOS 2, Batman 2, Woman Woman 2, Justice League 2
Phase 4: Other DC projects
I really liked Man Of Steal and 300. Critics stay doing the absolute most. Most reviews are mixed, its score is too damn low for the reviews its getting, even if bad. All the scores under 6 are really hurting its score. Most critics aren't calling it tragic just okay. Score is messy af.
Hmm, Mad Max Fury Road didn't triple its budget tho, just like Man of Steel didn't.
I read a report that estimated it lost a bit of money actually (before DVD sales).
I think WB didn't have any idea what a great movie they had. Their marketing team is absolutely tragic and it showed again in the campaign and trailers for BvS. The point is, unlike Zack Snyder, Miller knows how to tell a story.
Maybe Warner's better at promoting 'fun' movies. Highlights from movies that opened last year:
Magic Mike XXL Budget vs. box office: x8
Intern x5
San Andreas, Creed x4
Vacation, Focus x3
it has the same metascore as the worst reviewed Twilight, and worse than Fifty Shades of Grey.
so if you're fine with that level of critical reception...
Its a comic book movie not some oscar bait type thing. Why do reviews matter so much? I mean its great to have but these movies are great to see in imax for the cgi and action. At least for me. lol
i will see this tomorrow ( i was suppose too see it today, but base on reaction decide to go tomorrow so i can movie hop) and mostly likely this movie will not get my coin, from what i am hearing so far this is a total disppointment. This was one of my most anticipating movie this year. Most of the negativity is directed at Snyder (which going to ruin the Justice League movie), i don't why they didn't fired him after man of steel ( only WB would higher a director to direct their franchise after such failure of MOS which he was majorly responsible for) and jesse heisenger base on on what i am hearing prove me right that he is horrible Luthor and if he is a cringeworthy as suspect he is, whew i am really going to...
Man of Steel wasn't a failure. Atrl does the absolute most. Ya'll in here acting like MOS was on some Fantastic 4 type ish. It literally did better at the box office then most of marvel's stand alone film besides like two Iron Man.
Will it get in the 20s? Mess
