The other day has been released by the expanded version of the film " Batman vs. Superman "Which critics and many spectators smashed to fluff. It is half an hour longer, but the opinion of the film does not change dramatically. If you did not like the movie, then the Ultimate Edition will not do the weather. However, this is a great reason to talk about him again. In March, I refused to review the movie, but now it is finally possible.
Let's go from the contrary. From the nasty. From those who did not like the Batman against Superman. Consider the most frequently mentioned reasons that, according to critics, have mentioned this film. And find out why this is not so (or so).
Carefully! The whole text is solid spoilers.
There are almost no jokes in the film
This thesis of Zach Snyder was reproached by many. But who Kaboom Slots Casino said that the jokes should be? "Marvel"? The story of Batman and Superman (especially with the participation of Dumsdea) has never been funny. DC Comics, for the most part, is generally wire and hopelessness, unlike the same Marvel. Another thing is "" Justice League ".
She will not be so gloomy, it is already known. Firstly, there is a flash-even despite a difficult fate, this guy never discourages. Not so long ago, critics showed several scenes from the League, and, as they say, there are much more jokes.
Secondly, most of the film will be devoted to the collection of the team, and it is in the league very motley. It is a pity, until there is a green lantern, their bells with Batman is always an excellent comedic show. But a joke like those about the Hammer of Thor, it is hardly worth waiting. Not in DC style.
► shooting the "League of Justice" are already in full swing. In the director of the director, Zach Snyder is still sitting, despite the discontent of the fans. I sincerely hope that he will not listen to them.
The film is too gloomy
As if it's bad! And in the version of Ultimate it is even darker. Here they show burnt corpses, the consequences of the attack and people who have lost everything. A very sharp criticism of Superman is pouring from television screens, and he calls his mother at night, seeking advice and support.
There is a very big difference between the comics DC Comics and Marvel. Yes, the latter have tough series like “punisher” or “daredevils”, but for the most part it is still more friendly to young readers of history. DC Comics has the opposite: there are frivolous things like “Blue Beetle” and “Booster Gold”, but otherwise – gloomy or even openly terrible things like “Emnila Maine” or the Great Ivent “The Darkest Night”. Even the invasion of the criminal syndicate in The New 52 was furnished extremely tough.
Batman vs. Superman largely borrowed the comic book style " The return of the dark knight " – open it and immediately understand the difference.
► Hello, I am Jimmy Olsen, a very important character for the Superman world. And now they will shoot me in cold blood, at the very beginning of the film.
Lex Lutor is illogical
And all because he is under the influence of Darkside, the future main villain at least the first " Justice League ". "Batman vs. Superman" indicates this, albeit not directly, but very clearly. Noticed how Lex is stuck and cannot tie two words on a dawn evening? It is very similar to the action of hypnosis (or this presence of the miracle war on him so affected-I will explain later). And the fact that he is not very worried, that Batman stole cryptonite?
► In the “Man of Steel”, Snyder elegantly did without cryptonite, but here such a move is no longer possible.
The Ultimate Edition has inserted important evidence of this theory: Lex communicates with some kind of creature resembling a degree (this is Uncle Darksayd, but we will not go into family ties yet). Material boxes – Gadgets of Darksaida appeared in the same scene. One of them, by the way, gave the life of the cyborg – in the cinema, the emphasis is on this. And if maternal boxes are on earth, then Darxide is already spreading its influence among people. There is nothing impossible for him: he can inspire bad thoughts to people and through many light years. Needless to say, Lex Lutor is the first in line?
► degree? Very much like that. And, apparently, the allies of Darkside, like himself, will externally differ greatly from comic analogues.
And yes, in the Ultimate Edition, its “multi -way” is revealed in more detail, as a result of which Superman and Batman should converge in the battle. For what? To bring superman, the strongest hero of the earth, from the game. Well, if Batman does not cope, then there is always Dumsde. All this was supposed to prepare the ground for the invasion of Darkside, which, do not hesitate, will happen soon.
The battle between Batman and Superman lasts a few minutes
In fact, the battle between them is a large part of the film, just that battle without the use of gross force. This is especially noticeable in the extended version, where much more attention is paid to the bandit, branded Batman. It is shown what happened to him in prison, and then Clark Kent meets his wife and child, who will now have to grow without his father. The already more true reason to stop the dark knight than just a conditional “lynching”, yes?
► In an advanced version, the reasons for the hatred of Superman and Batman find faces. And this really greatly affects the perception of the conflict.
In parallel with this, several more plot lines are developing, in the theater version unceremoniously circumcised: a lot of time is devoted to the investigation of Lois Lain, to whom the mercenaries of Lex Lutor interfere.
In a word, in the Ultimate Edition, everyone has a motive, and the mutual hatred of Superman and Batman accumulates gradually and in the end splashes out.
Reconced from Martha
Many complained about this scene: Batman is preparing to stick a cryptonite spear in the head of Superman, but he talks about Martha. That was the name of Bruce's mother, so the name of Superman's earthly mother. This stops Batman, makes you reconsider your values.
► The greatest gladiatorial duel in history!
Why so? It was because of the death of his parents Bruce Wayne became Batman. This event forever changed him, made obsessed, callous, unbalanced. In Batman vs Superman, Bruce's mental pathology intensifies a hundred times: he kills people. His obsession switches to Superman – in it he sees a threat of universal proportions.
Why do people not recognize Superman in Clarke Kent? Because they cannot even think that Superman, in fact, God, may have earthly life. Batman also finds into this trap until he finds out that in fact the alien has an ordinary earthly mother. That he had ordinary earthly childhood and loving parents. What Bruce was deprived of. Therefore, he stops and ultimately takes the side of Superman.
► And of course, Lois influenced Batman's decision. Almighty alien has not only the earthly mother, but also pure, earthly love!
The death of Superman is useless
Of course, he will return. Surely not like in comics, but will return. And his death is by no means empty cliffHanther. Thanks to her, the tired, old and cruel Batman (and several years ago, by the way, lost Robin) again found hope: together with the Wonder Woman, he gathers the team and is going to fight to the last, in the name of Superman. For this, Superman is needed – to instill hope.
► The film has many hints of the past of the heroes. So, for example, Batman had Robin, and he died at the hands of a Joker psychopath. Does this mean that in a solo film about a dark knight, a red cap is waiting for us?
Lois Lane infuriates
Hello, we arrived. You read comics? If you save the world – work for Superman, then enraging everyone is Lois Lane's business. She is the main love of Superman, and for her sake he is ready for everything. She is the one who connects him with the human world, except for his parents. If the danger is in danger – Superman is ready to quit everything, even the entire league of justice, if necessary.
And when Flash returns in time from alternative, bad, reality, he tells Batman that Lois Lane is the key. Lois will probably die due to Bruce's fault (or he will not be able to interfere with this), and Superman will immediately fall under the power of Darksayd. The world will be destroyed, and Barry Allen will return in time at the last moment to warn Batman. The reality in which Lois is dead should not exist, because there will not be even the superman that we know.
► not cryptonite at all – the main threat to Superman, but the death of Lois Lain. If something happens to the girl, Superman will immediately fly off the coils.
A woman in a armored car is not a topic
Alas, the expectations did not meet-in the Ultimate Edition of the Wonder Woman, there is still little information as in the theater version. For those who do not know who she is, there are no explanations-only hints: they say, she is very, very many years old. There is nothing about her bracelets and the shield, with whose help she stops the destructive rays of Dumsdeus, nothing about Lasso ..
► Lasso Diana Prince, with whom she “pulls” the Dumsdea in the final battle, is a very useful thing. It not only does not break, but also makes people tell the truth. The local dumsde, however, does not know how to speak.
In a word, it remains an extra and incomprehensible character in this story. Correct this solo movie " Wonder Woman "Coming out next year. But those who read comics have rich ground for assumptions. The future film may well be a link between " Suicide detachment "And" League of justice ".
We will be told about Temiskir – the island of Amazons hidden from people; Surely there will be a love line with Steve anxor, which in the future should become an important person in a.R.G.U.S. – The very secret organization for which the Suicide Squad involuntarily works.
There may also be a connection with the invasion of Darkside. The new DC Comics cinema is largely based on The New 52 (the same maternal boxes indicate), which means that in the “League of Justice” or already in the “Wonder Woman” … Darkside's daughter, Grail. What is noteworthy, she was born in the homeland of the Wonder Woman, and even at the same hour. And if everything converges, then very interesting events await us, up to the invasion of the anti-monitor … But this is another story.
► No matter how smart Batman may be, no matter how fast it is a flash, in the battle with Darkside we need a superman.
* * *
Alas, the Ultimate Edition does not correct all the Batman against Superman: the Wonder Woman is still not enough screen time, the battle with Dumsdei at the end is still the same stupid. Nevertheless, the expanded version is much better than theatrical. The film no longer seems an awkward teaser of the "League of Justice", now it is self -sufficient and more logical.
It is difficult to say why these important thirty minutes decided to cut it coldly, but we will leave it on the conscience of the creators. At least now the film is perceived exactly as Zak Snyder thought. And he is damn good.
An original, smart and gloomy superhero action movie. From fan for fans.
