My favorite part is that Nintendo has kept it completely under wraps and everyone is making assumptions.

They need to show something soon.  They have to.  They’ve announced that it will be released next spring, so within the next 9 months, yet the release window is literally the only thing they have officially announced for it.  That’s typically the last thing that’s brought up.

And the assumptions are all over the place.  It’ll be cheap and affordable.  It’ll be really expensive.  It’ll be a VR system.  It’ll be a mobile console.  It’ll be less powerful than current hardware but portable.  It’ll be more powerful than any console to date by using resources from other NX systems.  The list goes on.  Speculation is well and good, but at this point all I want is some information.

You know what?  I love seeing all the rumors and speculation going around right now about the Nintendo NX.  You know what I’d love even more?  SOME FUCKING CONCLUSIVE INFORMATION OR A DEMONSTRATION NINTENDO!!!

the only person I thought was a bad casting choise was flash. the rest of the movie made perfect sence to me and I enjoyed the pacing. it didn’t stay on anything to long to get boring. I just don’t know how lex found out who superman was.

As I said, to each their own.  90% of Lex’s plotline didn’t make sense because 90% of it took place off screen, even in the extended edition.  Couple that with horrible miscasting with Jesse Eisenberg who plays the role more like he’d tried out for the Joker and got snubbed and the character as a whole ends up being annoying and nonsensical in all that he does instead of coming off as one of the smartest and most influential villains in media.

The motivation for the fight is pointless.  The motivation for Lex to hate Superman is pointless outside of “Lex hates Superman.  Lois Lane being in the movie at all, let alone as much as she is is pointless outside of “Lois and Clark have to be together.”  The reasoning for the fight to end is insultingly forced and stupid.  It’s a movie that sacrifices so much time and buildup for exposition the audience already knows, while completely ignoring exposition that actually furthers the plot and makes decisions and choices feasible and understandable.  Instead of having a cohesive story it tries to set up action sequences, which are good, but are painfully rushed lumped towards the end, and are often hurt by sickening camera work.

There was so much in that film that made me ask why in the worst of ways, and that shouldn’t happen, let alone in a comic movie and especially in one that’s trying so hard to set up a cinematic universe that I really want to see.  It had some good scenes, but the movie as a whole was an absolute mess that put a sour taste in my mouth for comic movies that was thankfully soothed by Captain America Civil War (which manages to tell largely the same story 50x better and with a conclusion that was satisfying instead of shoehorned in), and has been further eased by the trailers for Wonder Woman and Justice League.

I don’t get all the hate on bvs. I watched it on friday and it was very good, only 1 real plot hole but a solid 4 out of 5. just as awesome as kung fu panda 3

To each their own, I suppose.  BvS had many plotholes, a storyline that made little to no sense due to motivations never having grounds, pacing that was either ridiculously quick or a dreadful slog through exposition with little in between, painfully blatant attempts at setup for 5 other movies, and poor characterization and/or casting for many well known and beloved characters.  It’s helped somewhat by the extended release, but still suffers from a lot of issues that are inherent in the plot, and don’t save it from being a bad movie.

It’s one of the only films I’ve sat through and was livid afterwards, one of the only times that I watched  a movie and considered it a legitimate waste of time.

Kung Fu Panda 3 was great, repeated and largely unnecessary, but still great.  Batman Vs. Superman was horrible and a waste of time and money IMO.  I’m just glad that the controversy and backlash that it received opened DC’s ears and they’re actually learning from mistakes instead of doubling down on them.

The first trailers for Wonder Woman and Justice League have dropped from Comic-Con and they actually look really good.  My god, DC seems to actually be learning from the backlash and responding by making better decisions, being truer to the characters (in most cases) and letting their movies about people in brightly colored spandex have a little bit of lightness in them.

I’m still shaky on Suicide Squad, but this looks to be the direction that I’ve been hoping for from DC, not Marvel, but not broody McBatman-ed in every property.
