I want the movie to be good but like Star Wars 7 I'm going to be super cautious about getting excited.

yeah, the only thing i really liked about the trailer was the armored bat suit (at least what we could see of it).. i actually thought the normal suit looked a little silly. i'm a little more wary of how affleck is going to do now that i've seen him in the suit. but i'll still hold off until i actually see the movie.

i also think the fact that eisenberg is luthor will prevent me from getting fully engaged into to movie.. it'll just feel like eisenberg is pretending to be luthor rather than actually being luthor. his acting is just so similar in almost everything he's done that it's going to be difficult to see beyond that.

the trailer, and the movie just seem too dark. i understand that a movie like this needs to be dark.. but not all of it. man of steel had the same feel to it. i guess it's just snyder's style. i just happen not to like it. i guess it just looks a bit to stylized and less realistic. i mean, the avengers clearly aren't real, but the world they're in seems more real than what we've seen in dawn of justice. it's like the whole movie has a dark filter on it (that's an assumption based on how man of steel looked)

and you're right about the marvel universe vs dc.. marvel seems to have taken their time, had a plan in place and are following through. dc on the other hand looks to have seen the success marvel is having and is trying to play catch up.

it's a shame they couldn't have used the dark knight movies as the beginning of their universe similar to iron man 1. i mean, if the rumors are true, they're introducing batman, wonder woman, and aquaman in one movie.. maybe it'll work out, maybe it won't. i just don't think they'll be able to flesh out these characters as much as marvel has been able to do with theirs. plus, i think iron man 1 is a far better starting point than man of steel was. it also helped that when iron man came out there wasn't another iron movie released a couple years prior to compare it to.

at the end of the day, it's just a trailer for a movie that is still a long way from being completed.. so, who knows how it'll turn out. i just wasn't as psyched for this as much as i was when i saw the first age of ultron trailer.
