I loved X-men and i think BvS was alright. I don't get the hate either, but it has already had consequences.

X-men is not exactly the most popular franchise

The only blockbuster is Days of Future Past and it might have to be due to how critically acclaimed it was by critics and audiences alike.

Also X-men are not as popular as the two most famous superheros ever.

Most people who hated BvS was cause the movie itself. Also everyone thought 1B was on lock and the real question was 1.5-2B... didn't happen. Its second weekend was terrible.

X-men didnt do that good yes but thats irrelevant to BvS which had way higher expectations

I don't think any superhero movie HAS to gross a billion to be considered succesfull, but I also don't think it was too high an expectation considering it had a 250k budget, starred the trinity or superheroes most known to mankind at the time Superhero films are in their most popular, the great precedent we had with Nolan's Batman films, and was supposed to kickstar the whole DCU.

BvS was meant to haul 1.2-1.5B and (to quote Snyder himself) "transcend the superhero genre". It is in no way redeemed by the failures of other movies, especially ones with more modest ambitions.

Lol of course not. Comparing X-Men to Batman V Superman is laughable.

Other, less popular superhero movies not doing as well doesn't take away from how badly BvS failed.

Also, it's not as if it doesn't deserve the crap it gets. It was a fucking terrible movie imho.

This has to be a joke. BvS was supposed to be DC's saving grace; a MEGA HAUL movie grossing $2B.....Xmen is not supposed to do that.
CIVIL WAR FTW!

To the OP, what does X-Men's box office opening have to do with BvS? This obsession with trying to excuse BvS has to cease. A good movie would stand on its own. I'm tired of reading threads stating" (insert movie title here) was (insert descriptor here) now what do you think of BvS?" The fact that this type of defense of BvS keeps coming up speaks volumes about the quality of the film.

I actually really dig this Xmen series. I don't get what all the hate is about.
