Eisenberg are the best things about the movie

EDIT: "Diane Lane returns as the widowed Martha Kent, here abducted by Slavic dastards and threatened with blowtorch disfigurement and death. (What is this, "Taken" or "Saw"?) A terrorist bombing on a major D.C. landmark is just another tasteless, ill-timed "gotcha!" moment. Human trafficking, intimations of child abuse (Luthor mutters about suffering his father's "fist and abominations"), a hollowed-out Superman resigning himself to the notion that "no one stays good in this world" ... the film is only slightly more pessimistic than Lars von Trier's "Antichrist." You'd have to go back to Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" to find this much Christian iconography wedded to this much sadism."

Wow.

I'm attracted and repulsed by this.

So is this strike three for Snyder, or two?

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I definitely don't believe that DC will let him write or direct Justice League after two critical flops. Of course, Man of Steel made money, and regardless of the reviews, BVS will be a financial success as well. So at the very least they may still allow him to work on one of the smaller solo films.

That said, I'd personally be glad if Snyder distanced himself from future DC films. He's had his second chance and blew it. Now it's time to give someone more talented a turn.

Unless it does wonders in China and WB gives it a pass the same way Paramount does with the Transformers movies. Otherwise, I hope someone has George Miller's phone number.

Is it too late to revive Guillermo del Toro's JLD project?

[Spark Of Spirit]

Can we at least salvage Shazaam and hand it off to someone fun instead?

So it can be in Development Hell for 9 years and then forgotten?

It wasn't in development hell. A movie actually needs to start production to qualify for that. It never got off the ground because WB/DC sat on the idea for several years and then just dropped it because it actually sounded interesting, and we all know that they can't have that.

If only it was the alternate universe where Justice League: Part 3 was on the horizon, Chris Pratt was Mister Miracle in a New Gods movie, and we're all having fights as to whether Agents of Cadmus is canon or not.

Course, it's in the same world where Brett Ratner's Spider-Man vs Iron Man: Morning of Vengeance just came out. But they can't all be winners.

Was that a bird, or a plane?

[Dr. Insomniac]

Well, I did it. I watched Batman v Superman.

And...?
