maybe people trash dcs recent releases because they still hope that one day they will get it right. just because something is put out doesnt mean one should just be glad its out. if you like it good, if you dont thats ok too. doesnt mean that if you dont you should just jump ship. kinda of like sports. good seasons and bad season, one follows hoping one day they get it right.
I def fall into this, I'm honestly just disappointed, is it ok to be that??
Let's take out all the common complaints i.e. direction, acting, casting, plots etc.
My biggest gripe right now is editing and the fact that 2 out of the 3 movies now have extended cuts. It's also kinda weird that these cuts(at least BvS, SS is yet to be seen footage wise) have made the movie more "complete" as to where the original theatrical release have left many scratching their heads. I mean BvS had roughly an extra hour, right? I dunno about many people but if i know a movie is gonna have an extra hour of footage, regardless of the movie even if it isn't a comic book film I will be waiting for the home release. Especially if you're telling me the movie will make more sense at home than it will in a movie theater. That means they get my money upon theatrical release and then once again to see an extra hour on Blu ray....that just doesn't make sense, especially when it will fill in plot points
Now, the biggest complaint I've heard about SS from people not even pro or anti DC or hardcore fans, is that the film falls apart in the 3rd act, after having a stellar first 2. it'll be interesting if that 13 minutes or whatever is put into said 3rd act to help make it more concise. If it is, it shows that the studio is just putting out whatever cut they want, regardless of quality and then releasing these "extended" cuts that will make the films drastically better. Also keep in mind the SS extended cut doesn't have unrated anywhere near it, so they are obviously hoarding the Joker stuff for some later release, probably some huge movie box set i'm sure, so that's another money grab.
I for one am not for that, don't get me wrong I'm all for extended cuts, unrated, whatever, but I'm not gonna shell out the dough for both the sub par product and the superior product later(still a very happy PS3 owner here) I can afford it, def not an issue, but I don't like feeling finessed out of my money like that and that's how I felt with BvS, I wasn't going to let that happen again for sure. Especially since it seems that now these films will get an "extended" cut every time now
If you liked the films though and have no problem with it, than you're a bigger fan than me and there's nothing wrong with that at all. I do feel that if people are able to praise something in the thread, people should be able to put down the same subject matter(obviously ignore the trolls) but if most people shelled out dough for something they aren't happy with or just want things to be better, they have every right to complain
