DC rips Marvel off.
Marvel rips DC off.

Roses are red.
Water is wet.

I blame Jack Kirby.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Water is wet.

Water isn't wet.

OVER9000 joke is the only thing I know about DBZ.

Tracking for $110 mill opening.

That would put it behind such DC titles as Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice ($166 million) and Suicide Squad ($133.7 million). Box-office observers note that Warners has yet to make its final marketing push. Also, rival superhero title Thor: Ragnarok, which debuts domestically on Nov. 3, could be obscuring tracking. Thor could debut as high as $125 million for Marvel Studios and Disney

"Ride aint over yet. My man. Whoaaaaaaaaa!!!" [emoji23][emoji23] alien invasion: check. Light beam: check. Funny quips/ one liners: check check. Superheroes come together: checkkkkk. All that from the trailers. I truly hope the movie itself is different from "that other franchise". For the average moviegoers (non geeks / not comic book savvy) this movie will just look like a total ripoff. BUT it may work in their favor lol

Well, comics inherently use the same themes/tropes and usually very similar visual gimmicks, so I don't really understand this "it's been done before/I've already seen that" argument...
Portals/Light Beams, alien invasions, getting together to save the world, etc etc etc, have all been present in comics for basically ever.
The only thing that used to distinguish MCU from DCEU was the latter's more serious tone, which, alas, did not find favor with the average movie-going public.
So now we have this presumably "lighter" JL.
Big deal.
But to argue that "we've seen this before" as something to hold against this movie is kinda silly IMHO.

Wow I forgot that BvS had such a big opening weekend.

Then 2nd weekend it dropped 500% lol

Sneak peek of the new score:



Starts off good and has a couple moments but pretty generic overall.

I think at about 1:55-2:10 it sounds kind of like the Nolan Batman theme? He really did mean he was going to be bringing all these sounds together

That's what happens when a film breaks your heart and destroys a childhood fantasy.

You are not wrong. I just hoped JL would have been somewhat different. I hope at least we get that in Flashpoint.

Theme reminds me of Legends of Tomorrow.

Holy crap he stole the Terminator theme!

Listen to the underlying rhythm not the horns.

Yeah, it sounds like generic music you'd hear during the credits. I can't see that getting stuck in my head, unlike the BvS soundtrack.

Holy crap he stole the Terminator theme!

Oh wow, I knew that sounded familiar.

 

[jye4ever]

Yeah the beginning is very Terminator like.

Honestly that has to be Elfman’s worst attemp at a hero score.

That was really bad.

Generic is accurate and very boring.

I could hear some of that 89 influence but barely it was all just noise to me.

As it stands right now the Avengers theme is definately better than JL IF that’s the JL theme.

 

[GasparZizou]

Even phoning it in Zimmer managed to pull off a nice soundtrack.

No wonder why Elfman wanted to lean on the classic themes.

JXL feels like a huge loss right now.

I mean if that’s all Elfman’s got to offer than yeah I agree big time with your post.

Please tell me there’s more lol.

I love the main themes from MOS/BvS/WW.
