The guy Jeremy who does the CinemaSins video does sins for the trailers on his own personal channel. Of the first trailer for
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice he seemed excited, now, though, he said that the movie will probably be like
Terminator Genisys. This is because Doomsday was revealed and he is probably going to be a part of the third act. Now it's not that Doomsday was revealed, it's how he was revealed. Bombastic, grand entrance, and a big reveal kind of moment. It's not that it was in the third act, but how it was revealed.
People have been saying marketing should've been like
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, you know what, maybe it should have been. They aren't too far apart, though. In it's very first teaser the new Star Wars film revealed the third act shot, Kylo Ren igniting his lightsaber in the forest ready for battle. Never mind you that the description of what happens in that scene had already leaked. However, the way it was done was nuanced and almost subtle. We all knew it was in the third act, let's face it, but we could believe it might even be part of the first act. The first
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer is like the first Star Wars one. So is
Captain America: Civil War, although that film also showed what happens in the third act in the trailer, albeit they did it like Star Wars.
The thing to note, though, was either you loved the trailer or hated it. Sure there are some of you who are like Doomsday's cool but [frick] Lex Luthor or Lex Luthor's cool but Doomsday looks like Abomination (which is kind of the point, given that Doomsday's just a grey version of the Hulk made by DC to kill Superman). Most of you loved it or hated it. General audience loved it. Look at those YouTube reactions, tweets. Most people loved it.
I love
Man of Steel, sure dialogue is bad and there is a colouring problem (it made Superman have the skin tone of Paige), but a lot of that seems gone in this movie. There even seems to be a lot more humour (because Superman destroying an asshat's truck isn't funny right? - it is funny, people in my theatre laughed). However, still people are criticizing this. They agree on the most part that the visuals and general look of the movie will be gorgeous. However, they pander on and on about overstuffing and multiple plotlines and subplots (even though there is one plot, perhaps a few subplots and a character arc for every round character). This all leads to one conclusion: critical reception for this film will be divided.
As shown by WhatCulture, there are people who decided they will not like this movie when it was announced. As shown by almost everywhere else, there are people who decided they will like this movie when it was announced. As I've shown, even though
Man of Steel is in the "Rotten" section of Rotten Tomatoes, a majority of reviews are positive and 76% of the audience liked it. It is not a bad movie. It is like
Fountain or
Vanilla Sky or that Che Guevara movie - it is polarizing. I can tell you this, maybe
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will have a slightly lower score than 56% or maybe it will have a slightly higher score. The score, though, will be around there though because do the math - this movie will polarize. I want it to be good, and I'll probably enjoy it, but I know that the reaction will be divided.
