About

It's Batman v Superman: The Dawn of Justice!Set your faces to anger Snyder-Fans because this "film" gets a pasting. Perhaps the speech marks are a little cruel there because there are certainly people in this who "act". I've only gone and done it again haven't I. It's just hard you see because there's very few redeeming aspects of Batman v Superman. The plot doesn't make sense, the reason for conflict is non-existent, the antagonist is completely unthreatening (and may as well not be there) and it is once again, an ugly movie to look at. Other than that, it's barely average.Plus!It bombed. Not really, not on the surface but it did. We usually cover your basic box office stats: worldwide takings vs budget. However, BvS is interesting in that it experiences one of the biggest drop offs in blockbuster history. Not only that, it had a pretty ridiculous marketing budget which skews the takings somewhat. It's covered in more detail in Part 2 but from a pure financial point of view, you can see why the production of Justice League was as troubled as it was.Also!Look, Zack Snyder has misunderstood comics. We go into a bit of detail on The Death of Superman and Dark Knight Returns (which I continually call Dark Knight Rises because obviously) and look at where the movie diverts from their storytelling. This also brings up characters' motivations and the sequence of events that make the comic book storylines engaging and why the movie version misses the point of them.Thanks for listening!email isitabirdpod@gmail.comtwitter @isitabirdpod https://twitter.com/isitabirdpod Instagram: search 'isitabirdpod' and look for the usual logoyoutube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUXLIzqezSGihfXS6p7v5g Countdown to March 18thSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/isitabird)
