Many critics have been giving Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice mixed reviews since its initial release, but Henry Cavill thinks that what the fans think is more important.
He explained to Yahoo Movies that,
“The interesting thing is that we get the critics who have their personal opinions, and the thing about personal opinions is that they always come from a place. And there’s a preconceived idea which you have to get past a critic before you start writing your article or your review, and that affects everything.”
The film is predicted to make over $150 million in just its opening weekend, and Henry Cavill is positive that fans will help make it there and beyond.
“What is really going to matter, I believe, is what the audience says because they’re the ones who are buying tickets, they’re the ones who want to see more of this kind of story or not and so the audience’s voice is loudest and after this weekend the audience, at least partly, will have spoken.”
In agreement, actress Amy Adams who plays Lois Lane says that she knows:
“Zack [Snyder] doesn’t make the movies – or none of us – are making the movies for the critics, you can’t go into it with that perspective. I know we really hope the fans like it and so far the reaction has been really positive on that front. If you’re interested in a film you should see it and form your own opinion rather than just going on the word of somebody [else]”.
Zack Snyder, director of the film, is also happy with the finished product.
“I’m a comic book guy and I made the movie based as much as I could on that aesthetic, and so I don’t know how else to do it 100%, so it is what it is.”
