Dumb.

I’m not sure why I’m supposed to plunk down $ to choose sides when two good guys fight each other for whatever reason.

I can’t accept the premise, so no way not even will I rent it from the library. They can go pound sand.

Wonder Woman steals the show, and the rest is dark and boring. I will wait for Red Box...

I halfway expected to see that black tranny in Orange is the New Black as a gay Superman and Samuel L Jackson as Batman.

It was panned and it’s losing money.

Pretty much like I suspected. I’m smarter with my spending. Bullets and such instead.

I just have no interest in this. I saw Man of Steel on TV and hated it. I just can’t motivate myself to go to the movies. I didn’t even see the latest Star Wars after seeing all the rest on opening day (I might have been a few days late for the original).

I don’t understand why Batman would fight Superman if they’re both on the side of Good?

I’m a huge comic book geek, and I’m sure I will watch this movie eventually, but I’m in no hurry. The only great movie that Warner/DC has produced so far has been the The Dark Knight only because of Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker.

Their movies tend to be too dark, too loud, overwrought and overhyped.

I’m much more looking forward to Captain America: Civil War in May.

From what I understand, the fight between Supes and Zod in the first movie leveled a Wayne Industries building, killing hundreds of Wayne’s employees, so he sees Superman as a loose cannon who has to be taken down. In the movie, Batman’s been operating for years, and Superman was a complete unknown until that battle, so he doesn’t know or care about us motivation.

This is why Batman and Superman are fighting:

Batman fights crime his way. Suddenly, Superman is swooping in to "save the day." But Batman (and the citizens of Gotham) are misinterpreting the way Superman fights for justice.

Batman sees Superman as a legitimate, if not unprecedented, threat to his city. So he's going to man up and take on this "supervillian."

What Batman does not know, is that Superman is a pawn for Lex Luthor for his own nefarious purposes. Once the two of them realizes this, they join forces, along with other superheroes in the background like Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

There. I just saved you $20 bucks in tickets and another $30 in popcorn in soda.

The movie's entire production and marketing costs are estimated at $1 billion dollars. So, it has to make a billion dollars just to break even.

How can it be losing money when it just opened with what is apparently the largest opening weekend ever?

But you speak as if you have seen it. Instead you're going off of others' opinions. I'm going to make up my own mind on Monday.
