"It's so funny."

Even though he knew it was not polite to do so, Margot Robbie couldn't help it, and covered his mouth and laughed, "This movie is too much."

On the big screen, as long as Batman stabbed the Krypton Spear, Superman would die.

At this critical moment, Superman used the ultimate protection skill-Masha!

Then, there was an inevitable laughter in the premiere theater, and many people like Margot Robbie who had never read the relevant comics couldn't help laughing.

"Is it so funny?" Murphy asked softly.

Margot Robbie nodded and said in a low voice, "The reason Superman and Batman are fighting is far-fetched. The reason for stopping and not fighting is simply..."

She couldn't think of a suitable adjective except shaking her head.

Murphy could only shook his head. In fact, for passers-by audiences like them, this kind of stalk was really too much.

Since Murphy used Lux ​​Lesser in "Man of Steel", this time "Batman v Superman" can only get a congressman to get Lux Lesser out of prison and let He continued to engage in other things, and colluded with General Zod, the remnant of Krypton...

Of course, for comic fans, this film is enough to make them fascinated, such as Injustice, Reverse Lightning, Darkside and other stalks have appeared one after another.

Then there is this Martha Terrier. The reactions of comic fans and passersby are completely different.

The comic fan saw that Zach Schneider almost completely restored the Martha Terrier in the comic, and was very excited.

The biggest feeling for non-comic fans like Murphy and Margot Robbie is that the reason for stopping fighting is too far-fetched.

Then, such a picture popped out of Murphy's head.

"Superman: Martha..."

"Batman: Martha?! Why did you mention Martha!?"

"Superman: Because my mother's name is Martha."

"Batman: Huh? What a coincidence? My mother is also called Martha!"

"Louis Lane: You guys have a haircut! Go find Martha and then Lex Luthor to settle the account!"

"Superman and Batman: Oh, good! Stop fighting, look for Martha, look for Lex Luther!"

Such a scene is only fleeting. In order to shoot "Man of Steel", Murphy also read some comics about Superman and roughly understood the psychology of the two people.

Martha is the reason why Batman believes that Superman is not cold-blooded, because Batman was shocked that a **** thought about his foster mother as a mortal before he died, and felt that Superman was still a kind person in his heart, plus with him The late mother had the same name, so she turned enemies into friends.

In this respect, there is nothing wrong with this turning point.

The problem is that people who have read comics can read these, but people who have never read comics can't understand it at all.

The most direct consequence of this shooting is that there are two completely different reactions in the premiere venue. The comics are fascinated, and the passers-by audience laughs directly on the scene.

In fact, even if passers-by can see it, if it is not a fan of Superman or Batman, there must be a far-fetched feeling about this scene.

There is no problem with using this kind of stalk in comics, but comics and movies are two completely different carriers. The latter has a wider audience. Some things that are talked about in comics can be directly moved into movies. Will become the target of being frantically complained.

Murphy has a very clear understanding of this, so when filming "Man of Steel", the plot development almost completely abandoned the comics.

Apart from the Martha Terrier, there is another thing that makes non-comic fans incomprehensible. Superman has a clairvoyance and can feel the troubles wherever there is wind and grass. As long as an accident occurs, his girlfriend Louis Ryan can be rescued in time. Why does Martha have an accident Can't even feel it?

Comic fans naturally understand what the reason is, but in the eyes of non-comic fans, there is only one point, the super sensory ability is in the crotch...

The film ended after Bat Super combined forces to kill General Zod. There was enthusiastic applause in the theater, especially comic fans, who were so excited that they had seen too much familiarity and love from "Superman vs. Batman". The plot of the.

"Will this movie have a bad box office?" Margot Robbie asked in a low voice.

Murphy shook his head, "No, this is the first time Superman and Batman have appeared in a movie at the same time."

"Yeah." Margot Robbie nodded slightly, and then said, "Your "Man of Steel" has laid a great start for this series. The box office of this movie under the name of the sequel should not be bad. "

Murphy just smiled and said nothing.

With such a large investment as a DC comics superhero movie, it is impossible to fully expect comic fans to support it. Perhaps with the appeal of these superheroes, the first few box offices will not be a big problem, but after the appeal is overdrawn, passers-by audiences I am afraid it will be difficult to be attracted to the theater again, comic fans are a relatively small group after all.

Similar to this kind of film, you can't always use reasons like ‘we are filming for fans’ and ‘as long as the comic fans are happy’. I’m afraid that passers-by audiences will not enter the theater if they say a few more times.

As Murphy said, "Batman v Superman" performed quite well at the box office.

The film landed in more than 3,800 theaters in North America early on Thursday night, and earned 25.7 million US dollars that night. This result can be said to be very good.

On Friday, "Batman vs. Superman" was expanded to nearly 4,300 theaters in North America, and it earned $82 million on the first day. This achievement broke the record for the highest opening day in North American film history!

The appealing power of Superman and Batman is beyond doubt. Both appear in the same film, bringing an effect of 1+1 far greater than 2.

However, after the first day, the fans of the film began to spread to word of mouth, and the negative influence spread instantly through the Internet, which directly caused the single-day box office on Saturday to plummet by 50% compared with Friday, and only received a little more than 40 million US dollars. Box office numbers.

In one day on Sunday, "Batman v Superman" dropped below $30 million, and North America received more than $150 million in its first weekend.

As a sequel to "Man of Steel", the film went high and low, and the box office in the first weekend did not reach the $170 million to $180 million that Warner Bros. expected.

Overseas, although the film has performed equally well in overseas markets, it has created the highest superhero-themed drawing record in the UK, Mexico and other markets. The film’s world first week score exceeded 350 million U.S. dollars. It is also a superhero. The best start in the history of the category movie, but Warner Bros. and DC Comics are not happy.

Because the negative evaluation of "Batman vs. Superman" is like a virus, starting from North America, it spread to all overseas countries and regions where it was shown in just two days.

"There are a few moments that make the whole movie worthwhile, and the film also introduces a fascinating new Batman. But the film has the problem of a chaotic story and a weak narrative."

The evaluation of Warner's "Empire" magazine can be considered to have left some affection, and other media are not so polite.

"If there is any justice or dawn here, then the audience will give up Zach Schneider's slow, almost dead superhero hodgepodge. This $250 million tombstone foreshadows DC's superhero movies. There is an urgent need to pause and then rethink Murphy Stanton’s step-by-step plan for them."

-"The New Yorker"

"The film is too long, the story has not unfolded, and there is almost no epic feeling. "Batman vs. Superman" can satisfy those diehard fans as long as the two DC comics titans fight together. For other audiences, They have no idea why these two giants are going to war, and why they are going to truce!"

——"Premiere"

Those mainstream media commented more sharply, pointing all the fingers at the top of Zach Schneider and Warner Bros.

"So far we still don't understand why Warner Bros. replaced Murphy Stanton with Zach Schneider. Although these two directors are both typical dark styles, it is not difficult to find from this "Batman v Superman", The darkness of Zach Schneider is only reflected in the style of painting, and there is no such black charm that Murphy Stanton's film exudes from the bones. "Batman vs. Superman" brings "Man of Steel" to the darkness. , Heaviness and thinking about destruction!"

-"Los Angeles Times"

"In front of the "Man of Steel" that is full of mission, epic and heavy feelings, this "Batman vs. Superman" is basically like a kid messing around."

--"New York Times"

If it's just the evaluation of the media, it's okay to say that after all, the media cannot represent the market, the media evaluation is poor and the audience has a good reputation.

But the audience's reputation of the film is not good. There are indeed many people who give praise. The problem is that almost all these people are fans of comics, and the reputation of passers-by audiences can be said to rot at the fastest speed.

"From this film, what do we see, an alien pretending to be B, a handsome, rich and handsome man, and a prostitute who loves trouble! A wretched and neurotic villain who tossed and entangled the two Nima. How many hours! The result is not as good as the few minutes of Wonder Woman's domineering appearance in "Man of Steel"! Warner Bros., are you guys sent by monkeys?"

"There are many places where empathy is not in the clouds and mists that Manmi would really watch. Although the special effects are great! But the rhythm of the plot is chaotic, and most viewers of many plots are estimated to be unable to understand for a while, and the main reason should be the development of the plot. It’s too messy, the character description is rather scribble, even weird, and many chapters are clichéd. In some places, regardless of the highs and lows, if it is not supported by Hans-Zimmer’s soundtrack, it is estimated that the scene will collapse!"

"Zach Schneider, don't learn Murphy Stanton, you can't learn it at all, you should try to learn Michael Bay..."

On Monday morning, the first week of "Batman vs. Superman" box office and various negative reviews were placed on the desks of Warner Bros. executives.
