It aint perfect and im ok with a B+ or 7, some fanboys would say "a movie with the two most iconic super heroes ever should NOT have that low of a score!" well, it really was a movie for comic fans, and when you do that you alienate the everyday average movie goer. i can understand why some would get lost during certain parts. however the character development, depth and heart is there. it asks YOU questions and trusts you to put the pieces together. It doesn't hold your hand or spoon feed you. i smiled, i laughed, i cried, i was pumped during a few scenes, some parts made me think, etc. worst thing a movie can be for me is to be forgettable. this certainly isn't. =)

 

we live in a world were all people care about is box office numbers and how many critics said something and gloat about them.

 

then you have people saying "if you like this movie; you're not a comic fan" which is absolutely ridiculous and childish to think. i can like both, why not?

Actually, from what I've seen, it's the comic fans who are actually more upset with how the movie turned out because of how certain story arcs are being rushed out and how it will end up affecting later movies and such.
 

 

 

It's a solid film but I think they tried to force too much into a single film. DC tried to catch up to Marvel and the Avengers with just one film, instead of going slowly and filling in the backstory, and I think that's why the film struggled to the critics. 

And that's what I keep saying - this just shows that DC is more concerned with trying to catch up to Marvel and cash in on the superhero film craze. This should have been at least two or even possibly three separate movies to fill in the things they were trying to smash together into a single film. It doesn't help that the other members aren't getting their standalone films until after the Justice League movie either...

they know they cant beat marvel at their own game. where i stand at marvel;

 

i already knew about the hulk

 

i found thor to be a complete bore

 

cap 1 was ok,

 

ironman 2 is forgettable and i feel sorry for mickey who got wasted on his role. if anything BvS shares a lot of similarities with this movie by trying things too fast without taking its time. that doesnt mean they were doomed of course so i have faith dc's not gonna throw in the towel this early.

 

ironman and avengers were the only great ones of phase 1. though ironman is better. i wouldnt watch avengers again though

 

ironman 3 disappointed many fans of the villain, me included. plus that cop out ending which was funny enough; copped out by avengers 2

 

winter soldier, only good thing of phase 2. i'd argue its the best marvel movie to date so far.

 

guardians to me wasn't likable. the villain was weak and the protagonists were just a bunch of losers.

 

thor 2 zzzzz

 

ultron, i just couldn't feel the hype. and when i saw it it was just a mess. i could tell the director was poop'd

 

don't care about or like ant man.

 

civil war, black panther and infinity wars are the only ones im gonna see, after that im done with marvel movies.

 

now for dc, was it a mistep to put in too much? sure. but for some strange reason i was still accepting their decisions. does that mean im a dc fanboy? eeh i wouldnt go that far. they've made decisions that i dont approve of, same with marvel. both of these comic companies make good and bad decisions.

 

i like most of zack snyders movies (dawn of the dead, 300, watchmen, legend of the guardians, man of steel, yes even bvs) and i trust him. i can only hope he doesnt hit burn out by justice league part 2 like poor joss did with avengers 2.

It was the jump festa after the last...but i think he was talking about the Bolt manga. the sci-fi manga wasn't brought up till around the time of the gaiden if i recall.

 

I see. Was it the Jump Festa that Junko told him to shut up in a polite way 

 

Also about the longevity of the bolt manga. Even if it last 6 years it only going to have 12 chapters a year. That's what 72 chapters.

 

Another thing to remember is that the Gaiden fell off the polls after 3 weeks, and that was with kishimoto writing it and it being a weekly released manga. Here they don't have the original creator working on it, poorer artwork, it only coming out once a month, and over a years worth of negative press.. If they are not careful this story will have a very short life.

 

We can only hope that the writers keep on doing a kitten job with Bolts character. Ironically, how I find what it so post to be Sakura's spawn has all the spotlight out of the next generation. And hopefully by that time, at least one of those Naruto remake stories gets recognize enough. So far, Black Clover is ahead of the pact.

Yes. From what i recall people talking about was the five things that happened in the 2014 jump festa was: Someone dressed up liked Naruto and everyone called him scumbag, Kishi asked everyone to watch/read/continue to support bolt everyone laughed, kishimoto tried another excused about how he likes both Sakura and Hinata which depressed chie so junko told him to be quite, one editors said he didn't understand why nH happened other then kishi said it was for "personal reasons," and the main cast now including Nana shouted out their signature attack and she said "Naruto-kun" which made everyone laugh.

 

The only thing i know about jump festa 2015 was the revealed those clowns were taking over and the new posters was shown which everyone mocked. 

 

The reason why Salad has become basically the face for bolt (or at least the character actually care about or has any interest in) is simple. The gaiden which showed her off better and made her more likable then Bolt in his movie.

 

Naruto remake stories? That's a thing? Do you have a list of stories like Black clover you fit into that category?

Man, talk about opposite feeling from what I saw on Marvel movies. I'm no comic guy, so you definitely can put me in a casual side, but I can say that Marvel got my vote. Sorry, I feel DC is carried mainly on Batman. Plus, DC/WB should really stop making everything Batman or Nolan times overly depressing tone. Don't be Marvel but do it what works. I'll give Suicide Squad a chance before I think DC just don't have a chance.

I don't think it was depressing, it just wanted or asked you to think more. superman's not emo or mopey or mostly sad as others would have you believe. these characters are just put in modern times and i think we really are overly negative these days. To me, dawn of justice wasn't about the darkness, it was about these two characters lifting each other out of that darkness. Superman finds out he is worth something, that he can make a difference. and batman re-learns why he became batman in the first place after being lost and having such tough times in the past.

I get that but Batman really the only one to get the appropriate development. Superman, he seems just there. That's the problem. It has a good idea but Snyder is not your guy to do it. He's only good at bringing a scene from the visual to life.

what happened in man of steel affected batman. superman "just being just there " couldn't be more untrue my friend. superman is facing the world and the world seems to want to have a bite at him. he feels like no matter what he does, there's always gonna be the other side that disapproves of what he's doing. He wonders if what he's doing is even worth it. Its the thing pa kent was worried about back in man of steel. if he's thinking this at the age of 33-34, he would have been destroyed in his teen years. he needed and got help from his loved ones and learned that as long as there's one person that appreciates what he does, its worth it. his loved ones are his world. He inspires batman to be the batman we all know. thats more than just being there.

[Phantom_999]

Okay guys not that this isn't interesting but we have a thread to discuss the movie. This thread is for the Burrito manga and whatever kittens that happens to or in it for us to laugh at.

And that's the problem. I get that but at the same time, I don't feel it. One of the debatable problems is that this type of plot happened too soon. He only had one movie. One. It was rushed when's all said and done. Now, I can argue that it doesn't really need a another movie IF the movie didn't spend time on fillers that is Lois Lane. I won't talk more because this is all spoilers, but those time could have been for Superman.

See, when I look at the Dark Knight, it started off with Batman being seen as an icon and Batman doesn't want that. By the end of the movie, it was a complete circle, that all the movie needed to do is fade to black, show the title, and boom, I applaud. With this one, well I can't spoil but when we reach to THAT scene, all I thought was "Whoa, we're doing this now???" The follow up is also weak in terms of message. It feels clumsy.

I'll stop here but I just can't shake the massive disappointment feeling. Sorry. Just not my tea.

well i can only hope the extended cut is even better.

 

back on topic boruto sucks.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Not sure what to think on Boruto. I feel like Sarada was always meant to be fan service in some form, like that full color page that came from Jump +, though this new guy is making blatantly obvious.

i remember what doug walker said about the age rule of japan during his review on sailor moon.

Oddly enough, 14 years old is where I can be "forgiving" but only in anime/manga universe. No, not including hentai, only fan service in bare minimum. 16 years old, I'm fine. Under 14 years, awkward.

it's still the beginning of april

For a second I thought the father was Kishimoto, but then I remembered his Ex:

 

And his current waifu:

You guys think Boruto can survive as a 1 chapter a month manga let's say 30 pages each chapter??

[Bail o' Lies]

You guys think Boruto can survive as a 1 chapter a month manga let's say 30 pages each chapter??

It depends entirely on the first chapter.  The first few chapters of a manga are the most important point of the manga because they set up the story and where it's going plot moral character, and their the chapters that really draw in the fanbase. With this once a month thing it really relying on one chapter or two chapters to sell it to people. So since I'm going to be reading and reviewing it for you all and trying to keep it as neutral as possible. If they can actually make me say, "I can see people eagerly wait a month for a new chapter," then yes. If not most likely no, but I can see it at least surviving a year at least. Simple because they will refuse to let it die until at least a year has passed.

Fanservice for who? The 13 year old newer fans?

[Bail o' Lies]

Fanservice for who? The 13 year old newer fans?

In theory yes...but more likely it's for the otaku fanbase that loved hinata since she first got naked under that waterfall, and the ones that made an episode of her dancing naked under a waterfall...or was it on a lake.
