OT: Ben Affleck Schadenfreude (re Batman v Superman)
I have not seen Batman Vs Superman. I have no opinion regarding how Zack Snyder may or may not have ruined the movie. However, I do have an irrational dislike of Ben Affleck and enjoyed this video of him having a sad immensely. If you are a jerk like me, enjoy. Or discuss the movie, whether or not you will/have seen it, etc. NO SPOILERS!!!
I don't hate on the guy whatsoever. Just like him in some areas more than others.

Doucheman is more the character he embodies.
maybe it's me but I think it's just cast
It's really all been downhill since he played O'Bannion in Dazed and Confused
He was just escorting those boys home after he heard there were some ruffians about after all.

Movie not as bad as the reviewers if you understand the feel of the Miller comic. I do think Snyder is a mediocre (AT BEST) director.
Affleck was best part of the film, hands down.
Wonder Woman completely irrelevant, totally pasted on. Gadot's performance was about as dramatic as her presence on the movie poster. In fact, they could have just put a poster up for her scenes.
Cavill is a walking Superman costume. Only marginally more relevant that Gadot's Wonder Woman.
So, "B" grade for the movie. "A" for Affleck. "C" for Snyder, Cavill, and Gadot.
A+++ for the comic book.

I haven't seen it yet either, but my wife and I are on the fence about seeing it in the theatre or waiting until it is on Amazon just based on the reviews. This tweet seems to sum it up well so far, based on some of my reading today:
Batman v. Superman is the best comic book movie to date strictly for the quantity/quality of flame-throwing reviews generated in response.

I thought it was ok. Like many have said, not the worst, not the best (by any streatch). There were a few head scratching moments that I think will probably be cleared up in the director's cut, or a sequel. I did not like Lex Luther at all. Seemed more like a crazy eccentric than a diabolical mastermind. Leaned more towards "Joker" crazy. If you go into it comparing it to a Marvel movie, you will hate it. It also seemed more like a "Batman" movie than a "Superman" movie. Affleck, I thought, was really good as Bruce Wayne/Batman. I have always like Ben as an actor since Chasing Amy, Dazed and Confused, Mallrats, etc. I also think the trailers for this movie gave away too much of the plot twists and turns.
catch 10 Cloverfield. That was friggin awesome. John Goodman will haunt my nightmares for the next 2 weeks.
might get to the theater... :)
Best Affleck movie.
Sandy Bullock.. mmmm
That said Man Of Steel was god awful and I don't plan to pay money to see this movie.
Ben Affleck was the shit in Phantoms yo
Word, bitch! Phantom like a motherfucker!

Yeah I would pay to see a Batman movie with Affleck (without Cavill's Superman nor Gadot's Wonder Woman).

If this doesn't make WB/DC fire that worthless director Snyder then there is no hope for DC and JL.

All of this ignores the fact that Superman would kill Batman in about 3 tenths of a second.
This movie, and the entire premise behind it is bullshit.
I don't care how cool batman is. He's a normal human.

The plot is fulll of cheap tricks and shortcuts. How do you motivate a good guy to do something bad? Kidnap a loved one. The ending is, ugh, just a play on emotional heartstrings -- and I dont think they (DC) are serious about it, they are going to undo it. Afroementioned shark-jump. Insane bad guy, not a well-motivated one. Frankly the entire premise of the movie is Batman fighting Superman; you get 2 minites of that and 2 hours 29 minutes of not that; so the entire film is a bait-and-switch. These should be traits of B-movies, not billion-dollar movies. Its deplorable.
Otoh... Suicide Squad looks kinda cool! And I dont say that only because Margo Robbie is in it.
Me, I'm hoping Cap 3 wipes this bad taste out of my mouth.
