1 minute kind of trailer. Just because. Featuring Badass Batman line at the end.

I never noticed this til now, but the scenes at 0:39 and 0:40 look like Batman from Superman: Red Son.

The review embargo is over, so they're starting to come in. 29% right now on Rotten Tomatoes.

Metacritic has it at an average score of 46, with 2 positive and 12 mixed reviews over 14 reviews total accounted for.

Damn those RT reviews are ugly. Looks like that 2nd trailer was bang-on in representing how good the full movie is

Despite my criticisms and doubts for this movie, this makes me sad. I loved Watchmen and 300 and hoped Snyder would pull this off. Reviews are saying this is the equivalent of that Marky Mark Transformers movie.

Why do DC and Warner Bros always have to make this so hard on themselves.

Sounds like it's another idea that has promise that gets destroyed when the executives start sharing their own ideas of what the movie should be and then becomes a mis-mash of epic proportions.

Hire somebody to oversee with a singular vision, let the people good at making movies do their thing, and then get the hell out of the way.

I feel like Disney has proved this is possible with Marvel, and from the early returns Star Wars, why can't they get out of the way and let DC have it's own strong universe.

What a rollercoaster.

I initally wasnt all that enthused about this movie, then the initial trailer comes out and I was pumped!

Then they release the next trailer and all of my enthusiasm evaporated.

Then theres amazing pre-sales and initial reviews and the last trailer and I'm pumped again!

And now this.

Yeah, I can't handle the roller coaster. I'm just going to see it and judge for myself.

My baseline expectation is a better Man of Steel.

It's still Zack Snyder, and he has his style that seemingly everyone but audiences rave about.

Early fan reviews are still pretty positive.

Not a high bar.

When I heard Affleck was going to be Batman I feared the worst but ironically from many of the reviews that he's one of the best parts of the movie.

Between recovering from the awesomeness of Deadpool and the upcoming hype for Civil War, I will admit little excitement for BvS. I still might go see it though, it is freaking Batman and Superman in the same freaking movie!

The reviews pretty much look as expected: lots of great action scenes but too much time spent on the background of the JL and bringing everyone together.

Reading the reviews, sounds like the movie just takes itself waaaaay too seriously. I would think considering this probably won't do well we can pray they ask Nolan to direct a Batman/Superman movie in the future. Apparently needs to gross at least $800 million worldwide just to make money, and I'm guessing it might do that (70% chance) but that's still a massive disappointment considering the characters.
