I thought the movie as barely okay and too bad Reinhart didn't knock home one of those 2 great Eichel passes, especially the one with 20/secs left. But love the kid

Batman vs Superman is getting the same reviews from fans and critics that My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is getting if that tells you anything.


I am too much of a Dark Knight series fan to even fathom a reboot with of all people Ben FattyMc(frank)Face Affleck as Batman. God I F"N HATE that casting. Like Affleck but not as Batman.

ironically that was prolly the best casting job... Maybe Gal Gadot as WW, though she needed more screen time. And Jeremy Irons as Alfred was very good... Eisenberg as Luthor was just awful

Interesting... I just don't like his fat jowls hanging out of the mask.

Eisenberg as Luthor I think had to be a fall back plan after someone else passed it up but who knows. More star power means more views usually.


I will probably Redbox it one day but I still haven't seen that first Superman movie yet either.

I know a lot of critics were tearing it up because they said it was nothing more than 2.5 hours of placeholder to setup the ACTUAL BvsS which is the sequel in like 2 years.

- CoHo_to_B-Lo

We only have 1 contract open left I think...

Vesey or Caggliano?

They both are top 6 potential guys...

I think Vesey wants to go to a certain team and that is the only reason why he went from telling them he would sign to now not signing. Probably not Buffalo though.

Everyone in FL has a dog and it's really funny to see them pick up their crap after they do their duty.

hopefully by August 15, ol' beady-eyes will have fortified the forward ranks to the point where it won't be a big deal if another team grabs him

If he goes to the Liffs I wonder if Nashville could dig up any grounds for tampering ? The whole father working for them and all.

Maybe he wants to play with his buddy Jack?

Just crazy that Nashville offers him top 6 and playoff hockey and he stiffs out on a meeting with the GM who traveled to him. Sounds like something that would happen with Yzerman in Tampa, not Nashville.

Now feeling better about thinking it wasn't that good Thx homie

I really like that they didn't pander to the audience, meaning they made it assuming those going already knew the characters.

I need to see the full 3 hour director's cut, especially with the one 45 second deleted scene they released yesterday!

I give it a C+
It's a Zach Snyder Movie... visually awesome but some of the laziest story telling ever.
Like i don't understand why Supes hates Bats.... yes he takes things to the extreme but well the only time we've seen this Superman deal with a live adversary... well you snapped his neck and destroyed half a city. Other than that you save people from natural catastrophes..so go write your sports column paper boy.
And yes depending on how you interpret some of the scenes thats how the first part of justice league could play out.

Unless the kid wants to live in a certain part of the world more than another what incentive does/did he have to hold out like this ? Really the only other thing would be money you'd have to think. Some type of under-the-table handshake or something.

BREAKING: #CBJ first round pick @ZachWerenski signs ATO with AHL's @monstershockey → http://cbj.co/werenskisigns



So this is different than an ELC they are saying?? Anyone shed some light on what an ATO is? Says that he is protected from 2018 expansion draft because of the AHL ATO

I didn't hear or read that. Then again he told the Pred's on multiple fronts that he was signing with them.

Affleck was the best on screen version of Batman to date, he was that good.

Eisenberg did a very good job protraying Luthor for exactly what he is: a complete and total megalomaniac.

People need to stop comparing to what was before and go in with an open mind.

It's not like the comic books don't change the tone, motivation, and direction of every character. Hell, they do that every decade or so.

His own dad told him to sign in Nashville, and he told them he was. Something happened for sure for there to be a massive fallout like that. I think Boston is the frontrunner. IMO.

He said "Don't read into that" when asked about his family being with the Laffs. But who knows? Could be a cover so they don't get in trouble.

I think a ATO is a PTO with no money changing hands, simplistically put.

He doesn't hate him, he dislikes him, for two reasons.

1. He thinks he is taking things too far with what he is doing to criminals
2. He, meaning Superman, is hated on massively for what happened in Man of Steel and yet the Gotham Bat (love them calling him that) gets virtually no hate for what he is doing.

I believe it basically means he won't burn a year of his entry-level deal as an ato is a tryout contract...when he signs with the jackets, it will be a full, three-year elc
