I enjoyed Watchmen and 300 but neither is as genuinely entertaining as The Rock or Bad Boys IMO.

I'd watch The Rock over any Snyder movie every time.
I just never thought a BvS thread would culminate into a post about Watchmen vs Bad Boys.
58 pages, it's gonna get off topic from time to time. There's only so many "this movie is going to suck" posts people can do.

Sucker Punch is one of the most visually arresting, gorgeous, monumentally stupid films I've ever seen.
I loved watching it, but was dumbfounded by how bad the plot was.

Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long lol

If Mason fought Mike, who would win?
The Rock was ****ing awesome. Banging the prom queen and ****

so what does Batman vs Superman have to do in order to be considered a "success"?
does it need to hit a certain box office number or can it "underperform" as long as it lays the groundwork for batman, wonder woman and, hopefully for DC, the justice league movie?

It's pretty much exactly what I thought would happen

Needs to make a billion dollars, is the number I've heard thrown around. And that's the floor. Barely acceptable.
It needs to not suck
I was thinking it should hit the iron man 1 or capt Merica 1 levels to be considered successful.
Of course I have no idea what those numbers are, but it seems to be in the same setup phase of the movies.

Budget is huge for BvS as opposed to those movies, though.

Man of Steel made $668 million, 43 million in profit, and is considered a failure. What did they spend the $225 million budget on?
Winter Soldier made $714 million, 166.2 million in profit. Budget of $170 million
All numbers via wikipedia.
I would think the lesson learned here is to reduce the cost of the movie and promotions to increase profits. But DC is going a different direction apparently.
quote:Besides the budget, I was thinking that this might be more along the lines of IM2 or CA 2 in atmosphere personally. I mean we already had Man of Steel, and Batman is supposed to be well established like Iron Man would be by CA 2. Meh.quote:

Has to break $1B.
For some reason, I'm having trouble gauging how this thing will do at the domestic box office.
It could top out at $300M or make $500M+ and neither would surprise me.

I think this movie will be huge overseas, but probably sneak past 400 million.. Total gross just under a billion. I'm not entirely sure how rewatchable this movie will be. I'm of course basing that on absolutely nothing and will probably be dead wrong.
We should wait for ryam's prediction. He's usually dead-on.

Watchmen
All 3 movies have immense 're-watchability', imo, and are at least as good as anything that Michael Bay has made.
Sucker punch?....I'll leave that one alone.
300 was utter garbage compared to MOS...I couldn't even get thru the whole movie.
quote:lol did you understand the context of that comment? Someone mentioned Michael Bay as producing movies that can be entertaining and/or retain a certain level of re-watchability (and thus implying Snyder has not).
