Blade is ok but the CGI in that movie is *awful* :lol

I actually like Blade 2 and 3 more. I love Ryan Reynolds in Blade 3.

There are moments in Blade 2 where the CGI is even worse, but that ending fight scene with Nomak is fantastic!

Blade 2 is my favorite. I don't care for Blade 3 much.

I like them just in the order. 1 to 3 being the worst. 1 was great.

Oh crap, we're talking about a Marvel property in the DC thread. Hurry, everybody scram before Hef gets here.

My fault! Sorry sorry.

So back to DC. I'm not a huge DC fan, but since I assume studios will be doing R movies soon enough, which DC characters really need an R rating? So obviously nothing like Superman or The Flash.

So apparently there will be a Blu-ray version of B v. S called The Ultimate Edition which will be rated R for violence.

Is that really necessary?

Just the first sign that some studios did not learn the right lessons from Deadpool.
I don't think it has anything to do with Deadpool.  Snyder probably hasn't had time to do an alternate cut incorporating more adult stuff as a reaction to Deadpool - he is doing prep work on Justice League Pt. 1 which apparently starts filming in April.

No, this seems like something that would have been planned all along.  You know, because DC is harder and grittier than Marvel.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

And that's fine, and since you like it, I'm glad it will be available to you.

But an R-rated Superman film just seems weird.  Like they have forgotten where they came from.

There is now no chance of me seeing this in the theaters. I'll wait for the Blu-Ray. Not because of the R rating but becasue I want to see the film that the director truly wanted to make.

So...you're going to wait for the version of the film you don't want to see? Isn't the R-rated version on Blu-Ray only or is it going to be released in theaters too?

This couldn't possibly affect me any less than it does. I'm not even sure I'll end up seeing it in theaters, I'm awaiting the critical and commercial response before I take the time and money to see it. I'm leaning towards not seeing it in theaters. The R-rated factor completely depends on the material that made it R. If it's senseless violence that adds nothing but "oh wow cool they're violent with their super powers!" (which is honestly what I'm expecting), then meh. Otherwise, I don't see the big deal. I'm picturing something that Doomsday does though, not the heroes. It might also be as simple as them showing the actual carnage and destruction of what their battle has wrought in full view instead of a coy "okay, you know people died but we're not showing it".

Either way this isn't a huge deal.

The film he truly wanted to make is the theatrical release.  Not sure why you would think otherwise.

Most of the time when I hear "director's cut" I think it's the version the directed wanted. I think a lot films shown in theaters are heavily influenced by the decisions of the studio powers that be. Look at what happened with the latest Fantastic 4. I'm not sure if the R rating is a directors cut or not, just the impression I got. Also, the extended cut of the final Hobbit movie was rated R and it was just because of one scene where some orcs got decapitated. Wasn't that big of deal.

I would guess it's the same thing with this.  Probably one or two scenes that went a little to far to come in under the PG-13 wing that they cut - just putting them back in.

But nowhere has it been stated that this is a "director's cut."  It's just another cut.

For that matter, Peter Jackson has been fairly adamant that the "director's cuts" of the LOTR films are the theatrical releases, NOT the extended versions.

I don't even know what you're saying.  The humor in the MCU films is natural and not forced.  That's one of the reasons for their appeal.

It's getting less natural, though I have enough faith in the Russo Brothers to have a good balance in Civil War, and that Crossbones isn't gonna be a fuckin stand up comedian like Ultron. I get that the humor is part of the MCU, and Phase 1 it was all very well integrated (naturally might I add) and it definitely worked for Guardians of the Galaxy, but now it's getting too much. Age of Ultron was definitely 20% plot, 80% jokes. I was like OK ENOUGH ALREADY. Awful, disappointing movie, and Ant-Man was a ball of fluff.

Back to the DC flicks....

Snyder posted the first official production photo of Justice League with the man, Jason Momoa



Im not sure what character some of these costumes are gonna be for, or even if they are completed, but that Flash costume looks fantastic! And I can't wait to see Momoa's take, because people still view Aquaman like he was portrayed in the classic Super Friends cartoons, and not in the comics. Momoa is gonna bring it, and he is so stoked to be part of the Justice League.

Also, has anyone watched the Young Justice show? I hear good things, but is it worth investing my time to check out?

That kinda sucks since I was hoping he would return as J Jonah Jameson (which he has said himself he would like to do) and this kinda closes the door on that. Still, he's a personal favorite.

How is it a bit part? Everyone remembers Gary Oldman and JJ as their respective DC and Marvel characters. They are integral parts of the supporting cast.

They don't necessarily have to be, mind you, they could play bit parts, but they haven't in the past.

I'm not saying their not important.  I wouldn't be excited if it was but in the big universe right not it is smaller.  It's less time than a big part like Captain America that's in multiple movies and he is able to have multiple roles, in multiple movies.  That's all I'm saying.

Oh yea, I get that, I think one difference here is that JK as JJ was one of those defining moments in casting. People still look back on those original movies and think that JK was the perfect JJ in every sense. It's not like Bryce Dallas who was a fine Gwen, but who cares? Or Topher Grace. JK made a lasting impression, evidenced by the amount of conversation being had about him and the endless MEMES about him as JJ.
