"It's so funny."

Even though she knew it was impolite to do so, Margot Robbie couldn't bear it anymore, covered her mouth and laughed, "This movie is too messed up."

On the big screen, as long as Batman stabs the Kryptonian spear gun, Superman will die.

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

Then, there was an inevitable laughing scene in the premiere theater, and many people like Margot Robbie who hadn't read the related comics couldn't help laughing.

"Is it so funny?" Murphy asked softly.

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

Apart from shaking her head, she really couldn't think of a suitable adjective.

Murphy could only shake his head. In fact, for passer-by audiences like them, such a stalk was really too much.

Since Murphy used Lukes Lesser in "Man of Steel", this time "Batman v Superman" can only get a member of Congress to get Lukes Lesser out of prison, so that He continued to do things, and colluded with General Zod, the remnant of Krypton...

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

Then there is this Martha stalk, the reactions of comic fans and passer-by audiences are completely different.

Comic fans were thrilled to see Zack Snyder's almost complete restoration of the Martha Terrier in the comics.

For non-comic fans like Murphy and Margot Robbie, the biggest feeling is that the reason for the suspension is too far-fetched.

Then, such a picture popped up in 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 mom's name is Martha, too!"

"Louis Lane: You guys are still playing! Go find Martha, and then settle accounts with Lex Luthor!"

"Superman and Batman: Oh, good! Stop fighting, find Martha, find Lex Luthor!"

This kind of scene is just fleeting. In order to shoot "Man of Steel", Murphy also read some comics about Superman, and he roughly understands 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 god thought of his adoptive mother who was a mortal before he died, and felt that Superman was still a kind person in his heart. The late mother had the same name, so he turned an enemy into a friend.

In that respect, there's nothing wrong with the twist.

The problem is that people who have read comics can understand these, but people who have not read comics can't understand them at all.

The most direct consequence of this kind of filming was that there were two completely different reactions in the premiere venue. Comics fans were mesmerized, and passers-by and audiences laughed directly.

In fact, even if passers-by and viewers can understand it, if they are not fans of Superman or Batman, they must still feel far-fetched 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 to movies. It will become the object of crazy complaints.

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

Apart from Martha’s stalk, there is another point that non-comic fans can’t understand. Superman’s clairvoyance is good, and he can feel the danger wherever there is trouble. As long as his girlfriend Louis Lane can be rescued in time if something happens, why does Martha have an accident? Can't feel it?

Comic fans naturally understand the reason, but in the eyes of non-comic fans, there is only one point, Dachao's sensing ability is in the crotch...

The movie ends after Bat and Super join forces to kill General Zod,

There was warm applause in the theater, especially the comic fans, who couldn't help being excited. From "Superman vs. Batman", they saw too many familiar and favorite plots.

"Is this movie going to do poorly at the 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."

"Hmm." Margot Robbie nodded lightly, and then continued, "Your "Man of Steel" has set a good start for this series, and the box office of this movie in the name of a sequel should not be bad. "

Murphy just smiled and said nothing.

With such a large investment in a DC Comics superhero movie, it is impossible to fully rely on comic fans to support it. Perhaps with the appeal of these superheroes, the box office of the first few films will not be a big problem, but after the appeal is overdrawn, passer-by audiences I'm afraid it will be difficult to be attracted to theaters again, comic fans are a relatively small group after all.

Movies like this cannot always be prevaricated with reasons such as 'we are filming for fans' and 'as long as comic fans are happy'.

As Murphy said, Batman v Superman did pretty well at the box office.

The film landed in more than 3,800 theaters in North America in advance on Thursday night, earning $25.7 million that night, which can be said to be very good.

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

The appeal of Superman and Batman can be said to be beyond doubt. The two appear in the same film, which brings an effect of 1+1 far greater than 2.

However, after the first day, 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 earned a little more than 40 million US dollars. box office figures.

In one day on Sunday, "Batman v Superman" even fell below 30 million U.S. dollars, and it earned more than 150 million U.S. dollars in its first weekend in North America.

As a sequel to "Man of Steel," the film's opening weekend box office did not meet Warner Bros.'s expectations of $170 million to $180 million.

Overseas, although this film performed equally well in overseas markets, it set the highest opening record for superhero themes in many markets such as the United Kingdom and Mexico. The best start in the history of the genre movie, but Warner Bros. and DC Comics are not happy.

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

"There are a few moments that make the movie worthwhile, while introducing a fascinating new Batman. But the story is messed up and the narrative is weak."

The evaluation of Warner's "Empire" magazine is still a bit sympathetic, and other media are not so polite.

"If there's any justice or dawn here, audiences will abandon Zack Snyder's sluggish, near-dead superhero hodgepodge, a $250 million tombstone that heralds DC's superhero movies There's an urgent need to pause and rethink the step-by-step plan that Murphy-Stanton has laid out for them."

The New Yorker

"The film is too long, the story has not unfolded, and there is almost no sense of epic. "Batman v Superman" can satisfy those diehard fans as long as the two giants of DC comics fight together. For other audiences, They don't understand why these two giants are going to war, and why are they going to stop!"

"Premiere"

The evaluations of those mainstream media are more sharp, pointing all the fingers at Zach Snyder and the top management of Warner Bros.

"So far we still can't understand why Warner Bros. replaced Murphy Stanton with Zach Schneider. Although these two directors are typical dark styles, it is not difficult to find out from this "Batman vs. Superman", Zack Snyder's darkness is only reflected in the style of painting, and there is no black charm emanating from the bones of Murphy Stanton's films. "Batman vs. Superman" brings "Man of Steel" to the darkness , heaviness, and thought-destroying nothing!"

Los Angeles Times

"In the face of "Man of Steel", which is full of sense of mission, epic and heavy, this "Batman v Superman" is like a child playing nonsense."

"New York Times"

If it's just the evaluation of the media, it's okay to say, after all, the media cannot represent the market, and there are not no movies with poor media evaluation but good audience reputation.

However, the audience's reputation of the film is not very good. There are indeed many people who give positive reviews. The problem is that these people are almost without exception fans of comics, and the reputation of passers-by audiences can be said to be rotten at the fastest speed.

"From this movie, what have we seen, an alien pretending to be B, a rich and handsome man pretending to be cool, and a prostitute who loves to make trouble! A wretched and neurotic villain, tossing back and forth and entangled Nima two How many hours! The result is not as good as the few minutes of Wonder Woman's domineering debut in "Man of Steel"! Warner Bros., are you all monkey-sent teasers?"

"There are a lot of places where empathy is not what comic fans would really watch. Although the special effects and fighting are great! But the rhythm of the plot is chaotic. Most audiences probably can't understand many plots for a while. The main reason should be the development of the plot. It’s too chaotic, the character descriptions are rather sloppy, even weird, and many chapters are old-fashioned, regardless of the ups and downs in some places, if it weren’t for the support of Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack, the scene would probably collapse!”

"Zach Snyder, don't learn from Murphy Stanton, you can't learn at all, you should work hard to learn from Michael Bay..."

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