710067, "50 times better" than this is the opposite of objectivity.

BVS is a disjointed mess, that much we agree on. Calling JA "50 times better" is overstating things in a big way.

BVS actually has some things going for it.

Jupiter Ascending? The best we can say is they took an awful recipe with awful ingredients and did a good enough job cooking aninevitably awful meal. So, hey, we'll give them points for doing a better job of making every awful course in that awful meal fit together more cohesively.

Calling that horrendous mess "50 times better" than anything except perhaps 50 Shades Of Gray is a statement with zero objectivity. None. I don't care if it's structurally better than BVS, the whole of it is still one of the worst movies of it's kind in years.

I'll take the movie with at least a few good scenes and some solid characters in a piece of cinematic fuck pie in terms of execution over the creative abortion that was JA.
