It really looks a whole lot like it, with the mostly grey tones with some splashes of color, almost like it's a 300 film.
The action seems just as bombastic as before, which is ok I suppose but it makes the whole thing seem over the top and not the least bit believable. Again, that can be ok, but I'm not convinced that it's worked so far or will be able to work.
And I'm really not sure there's going to be any solid characterization given to anybody. It seems very superficial so far, which means you'll continue to not really connect with these versions of the characters.
And if this all holds, I mean what then? I can hardly imagine the reaction. It's going to be deafening silence I imagine. People won't know what to do or say. Won't the DCU just be completely dead? How could they go on? |

......................300..........really? Honestly that sepia look, with mostly shades of greys everywhere and some color highlights. Yes. It looks like everybody just walked out of a soot factory. |

No I mean the look, where everything is constantly dark, lots of brown and black everywhere. |

No I mean the look, where everything is constantly dark, lots of brown and black everywhere. no yeah, i get what you mean, yeah 300 was either very golden orange or grey blue, with very "crushed" blacks and it had a oily gloss aesthetic to it, i just personally don't see that distinct look in JL, other than maybe the black levels. |

Oh it's not the exact same look of course,
But in JL, most of the colors are black, brown, and grey. When WW lands beside AM and CB, just look at them. everybody is in grey, her colors are dark, there's black everywhere, the walls are grey. When AM jumps off batmans car, there's black everywhere, everything else is grey. When Bruce is going to recruit AM, everything is white, and brown, and black. The flashback war sequence is lots of brown and black.
There's just no color. It's bland.

It may not be a plethora of color but there is color.
Color doesn't make a movie good. If that were the case we wouldn't have so many great black and white classics.

Well I mean even the most harsh of critics said that BvS was an incredibly good looking movie, so that wouldn't be too bad.
They just forgot the most important part: the (good) script!

How could they go on? They go on and make another fucking movie. It's as simple as that. With dwindling audience participation. Seriously if this is just BVS redux, they'll only have super hardcore fans left and people who watch any popcorn flick. Everybody else will save their money. They'll have zero credibility at that point. |
