No, it would be a terrible casting, just as Jessie as Lex was.

Except Jesse as Lex wasn't terrible...

Ah, yes. Because the round and round arguing of opinions always works out well.

Just saying, just because some people didn't like his interpretation of a fictional character doesn't mean it was a bad casting.

Thing is, you don't have to "defend it" every time someone mentions it. Just turns into the same guys arguing the same points.

Re: Batman Vs Superman - Dawn Of Justice

Initial cut of the movie was four hours long.

It was a lot to juggle. So the plot lines of a couple characters had to go. These people are currently in the movie but we don’t track them, and it’s okay. What’s kind of fun is that we went back and did an extended cut where we put a lot of this stuff back, and we refined it into the same rhythm as the theatrical release. So what was once a nearly four hour cut with absolutely everything was ridiculous – ended up being about a three hour cut, once all these added storylines were refined with the fat was cut out.

This news makes me want to wait for the extended cut DVD/Blu Ray. I know people talk about wanting excess fat trimmed off but i'm one of those people that likes to see everything as originally edited by the director and editor.

This movie is definitely a case where I would love to see everything Snyder intended. There was so much packed into one film I can imagine he had to make a lot of tough cuts.

I just wish we could get the 4 hour version.

Re: Batman Vs Superman - Dawn Of Justice

I still think it should have been two movies.

Would've loved it if they did that. Considering all the storylines, I find it hard to believe no one involved in the making of the film said "we should release this in two parts!"

Hopefully, the extended version improves some of the story/pace issues.

On pace to finish at $850-900 as it fell out of the top 5 domestically in it's 5th weekend, nice Screen Rant article recounting the release and it's issues.

A couple of snippets:

It’s still possible that the studio will listen to fan requests for a theatrical release of Batman V Superman‘s R-rated director’s cut, but it seems more likely that Warner Bros. will now be looking to maximize the appeal of the movie’s home video release, and the director’s cut – with its promise of more hardcore action scenes and appearances by characters who were cut from the theatrical version – will play a significant role in the Blu-ray and DVD marketing. Moreover, a follow-up release could prove to be tricky to place in a summer full of blockbusters like Captain America: Civil War and X-Men: Apocalypse – not to mention Warner Bros.’ own Suicide Squad.

As for where Batman V Superman‘s final standing will be in terms of profit (including TV, merchandise and home video release), SNL Kagan analyst Wade Holden offered an estimate of $278 million, while Wunderlich Securities’ Matthew Harrigan said that Warner Bros. will likely be “satisfied” though not “elated” by the results.

The DC Extended Universe has naturally been compared to the Marvel Cinematic Universe many times, so it’s worth remembering that the MCU did not kick off with its biggest box office hits. Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger all grossed significantly less than Man of Steel and a lot less than Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and it wasn’t until all the characters teamed up for The Avengers that Marvel finally saw really explosive box office results. Considering Batman V Superman is only the second movie in a whole new universe of superheroes, $850-900 million worldwide is not to be sniffed at.

Really, the chief area of concern for Warner Bros. is Batman V Superman‘s critical reception, rather than its ticket sales, but the studio is fortunate in that the next DCEU movie appears to be very far removed, both in terms of its story and its tone, from Batman V Superman. If Batman V Superman had been immediately followed up with Justice League then there might be a more urgent need to change tactics, but since Justice League doesn’t arrive in theaters until November 2017 the studio has a lot of time to think carefully about how to market its next epic superhero team-up.

It may be a boring conclusion, but based on the available information Batman V Superman‘s box office results are fine. Not a runaway success, not a disaster, just fine. As for its mixed critical reception – well, tomorrow is another day for the DCEU.

Re: Batman Vs Superman - Dawn Of Justice

Hm, this sounds about right. Honestly, I think (though I haven't seen the movie i'm going by what i've read) that the people behind this are doing a great disservice by making it 90% crazy action. At least the Marvel movies try to tell an overarching story and the action while not as awe inspiring at least ratchets up with each set piece culminating with the big end scene.
