The reviews are going to have to be stellar....along with a couple drinks....to watch a human fight Superman, the indestructible alien that can carry skyscrapers into outer space.
Some who've seen BvS say Wonder Woman steals the show. So unless you've seen the movie (and it seems as though you've not), it's best to reserve judgment.
Some who've seen Green Lantern think it was an awesome movie. Some people are quite stupid.

Gal's a model, yes, but she's a relative newcomer to modeling. She plays the character Gisele in Fast Five (solid popcorn flick), Fast & Furious 6 (ditto, but not as good as Five) and Furious 7 (haven't seen it). She got the role of Gisele in '08 when she was a noob to acting (she had one other credit, plus commercials). It's not like she came from out of thin air in 2014 and landed the part of Diana.
She stands out as a bad actress in a film series with primarily bad acting. She made Paul Walker look like a great actor.

You did write Zack "has a bad habit of casting models instead of talented actors."
Yes, and Mark somehow interpreted that to mean "Every actress in every Zack Snyder film, and even sequels to his films that he didn't even direct, is terrible." I never said that. I never even specified actresses. I said actors.

Since all the actresses Mark mentioned weren't models, I guess that soundly quashes your criticism. Malin's acting was bad? Doesn't seem any worse than Liz Olsen's in Age of Ultron. I don't think Evangeline is going to get nominated for an Oscar for her participation in Ant-Man, either. (I like Liz and Evangeline, too, so don't go there.)
No, because that's completely dumb. And so is this completely irrelevant comparison of Malin Akerman to Elizabeth Olsen.

Another dash for cash.....increasingly common.
Uhhh, their fight is basically ripped right out of the comics. And they've fought in the comics numerous times. It's a pretty classic showdown. Superman always holds back because he's Superman, and Batman always has the upper hand because he's much cleverer than Superman and doesn't hold back. The big difference here is that the whole movie is hyped around this fight that will ultimately end in the two teaming up to fight a bad guy(bargain brand Doomsday) and then becoming friends.

I've never heard/read anyone say/write Green Lantern was "awesome." Change it to Superman Returns, at least, if you want an extreme example. Or even The Force Awakens, which is now one of the most overrated movies to hit theaters in the last 30 years.

[sarcasm] Yeah, she's no Kirsten Dunst. [/sarcasm]

Put down that goalpost. Actors can mean both actors and actresses now (you see actress used a lot less now). You said Zack has a "habit," right? Since you've adjusted the parameters of your agument, who else was previously a model? Gerard Butler? Ving Rhames?

No, it wasn't. You said Malin's acting is bad. I said it isn't any "worse" than Lizzie's in AoU, or Godzilla, for that matter. They served their respective roles.
And oftentimes, the acting isn't the problem. The best acting in the world can't save bad writing.
Which is why I've always found a lot of the criticism directed at Jake Lloyd to be really cruel and unfounded. Just read some of the dialogue in The Phantom Menace. Laurence Olivier could not have squeezed blood out of those stones.

The actor(s) weren't the problem(s) with those movies. George Luca$ was. That said, any random scene from Watchmen is better than the entire Star Bores prequel trilogy.

Kirsten Dunst is a great actor. Have you seen the Fargo series? She just didn't care to put in good performances in the Spider-Man series because those movies are hokey.

You just proved my point. Mark misinterpreted what I said, and so did you, clearly.

So if someone has a crack habit, do they only consume crack? No food or water, just crack? Your argument is completely pointless and nonsensical.

Who the hell was talking about Age of Ultron or Godzilla? You're trying to make this a Marvel vs DC argument for no reason.
