Captain America: Civil War has officially outgrossed Batman v Superman by over 70 million dollars despite only being released in North America for 10 days and Worldwide for 17 days. it did go below 90% on RottenTomatoes, but I'm okay with that since it still is at 89, vs Batman v Superman's Abhorrent 27%. 8th highest gross in 10 days, and is on pace to end up between 420-445 million domestic and 1.2-1.3 billion worldwide. coming off 85 million internationally and 72 million domestically this weekend. Just...*Slow claps* Well deserved. Can't wait to see where this one ends up. Saw it a second time this weekend and loved it even more this time. it's just so fun, so smart, so mature. I mean, I did poke a few holes in the story, but the 'cinematic expansive world' thing works because you can kind of tuck the plot holes away in a "I bet this will be explained in this other movie" or you can explain it away. Baron Zemo's plan wasn't needed in the wake of Sokovia? actually it was. They needed that little nudge, and that's why he hired Crossbones in the first place. Just. so many little things that seemed unnecessary could be explained away with whatever you'd like. Not really worth fighting with the minor plot holes that are few and far between....unlike Batman V Superman which seems to spit in the face of the logic set up internally Like why not give Wonder Woman the Spear? Why did Lois Lane throw said spear into the water? and no, 'because she's stupid' is not an acceptable reason. How did anyone other than Superman know that Doomsday was Kryptonian? Only he and Lex were there for its creation and only they knew of its origin. Why would batman go "I thought she was with you", When he had actually SENT her the email with the information showing that he knew who she was. He asked for her and was still like "I thought she was with you". Why in the world would Superman say "Save Martha"? NOBODY CALLS THEIR MOTHER'S NAME! that's just so stupid. Anyway, it's clear throughout this movie that Superman and Batman both are stupid, which spits in the face of the concept of Batman being super smart. It's just dumb that they didn't try to talk it out like Stark and Cap did in the airport scene. Also, it's clear in the Avengers that they're not trying to kill one another. "The plan was to go easy on them" or "You're pulling your punches." Character depth through actions and motivations. Batman v Superman was NOT a 'mature' movie, it is an immature, adolescent movie that thinks 'gritty realism' is the same as 'maturity'. Nope. IT's dumb, it's loud, it's an exercise in style over substance, Please don't confuse 'mature' with 'violent and gritty'. this is not the 90's. We are not angsty teenagers. |
That's what I was thinking... I mean, Wonder-woman was fighting him pretty well without super-effective weapons. She couldn't actually kill him, but she was clearly quicker and a much better fighter. She could have probably taken him out with the spear, or at the very least weakened him enough for Clark to kill him.
