I happen to like the Watchmen movie. Not because it's an exceptional movie, but because I love Watchmen and will take what I can get.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen wasn't a great movie but compared to the printed cartoon it was good.

Jerry Cotton posted:League of Extraordinary Gentlemen wasn't a great movie but compared to the printed cartoon it was good. wow. Uh, anyway, Snyder seemed to do just fine here, I thought the movie was very well shot in general. He has a love of comic-book panels and tries to recreate them with film, which is probably why he's so drawn to comic adaptations. It's over the top, but much more restrained and well-put together than some of his other works. I generally thought the film's visuals were great, particularly the very dramatic and epic three-way superhero battle with Doomsday at the end. Wonder Woman looked incredible as well, kudos to Gal Gadot for actually managing to squeeze some acting into her action sequence.

8-Bit Scholar posted:That's the thing, Marvel characters have all ruined that plotline through overruse. Comics in general really have, but I feel like it's a mirror of how twisted American culture is for "realism" in their heroes that we keep wanting to see Batman kill people, see Batman use guns, see Batman not be Batman. Batman goes in with his fists because he's a sick man who likes to feel the bones breaking, when he spin-kicks dudes into the ground so hard face-first that their spine snaps or that one guy's arm that he twisted enough that the bone sticks out from where the elbow used to be. Same reason he didn't just make kryptonite bullets and then shot Superman dead who would have stood and took it because he'd think it was a regular bullet probably.

The thing is people don't trust other people. If a guy says it's bad, you are like "well I'm a real fan so I'll appreciate it" and you see it and say that was bad and the next person has a biased reason why they will enjoy it when you wouldn't and the cycle continues.

BTW, clearly the best part of the movie by a mile. The congresswoman is giving a speech at the hearing and then suddwnly notices an ominous mason jar. She stutters and stares at the jar. "It isn't. It can't be." she is clearly thinking. Slowly, ominously, she turns the glass. And yes, yes it is. It is labelled. "Granny's peach tea." loving laffo. (It's pissssssss.)

Zack Snyder can't make a good movie. Dawn of the Dead was poo poo. Sucker Punch was poo poo. This movie's poo poo. 300 was poo poo. Everything he's directed is terrible. The only thing he's good at is making things overly artsy. He's basically Michael Bay but instead of extravagant explosions you get overwrought symbolism that lacks all subtlety and a first grader's approach at creative writing.

Groovelord Neato posted:does superman stopping the jumper come from that comic? cuz that's probably the single best superman moment ever. Yes. One of my other favorite Superman moments is when he saves some kid, and after putting him down the kid is all "I like your costume". Then Superman goes, "Thanks, my mom made it for me"

8-Bit Scholar posted:This was the thought going through my head as I went to sleep last night. Like, why? Why would he call his mom Martha? Did the writer just realize that both Batman and Superman's moms have the same name? They even foreshadow this poo poo, it's a major plot point that's set up in the first few minutes of the movie... I've yet to see the movie, but I imagine Bruce and Clark bonding over stupid similiarities in their life. "JIM!" "Jim?" "Jim... Olson. He's a trusted friend and confidant." "I... also have a Jim who is also a trusted friend and confidant." "Oh..." *Superman stubs toe on car, looks down reviewing the damage." "DENT!" "Dent?" "Dented... I just dented this car. Practically broke it in two." "I have a Harvey Dent, he's a Two-Face." "Oh..." "Pizza!" "Pizza?!" "Pizza... I love pizza. I could really go for a slice right now." "I... also like Pizza. Good pizza like classic Gotham-style Pizza, not that stuff you call Metropolitian-Style and try to pass off as pizza." "Wuh... Metro-style is great!" "In light of everything else, I'm going to assume the kryptonite has taken away your enhanced sense of 'supertaste'.

I liked it well enough, sure some stuff didn't make much sense and the actual bvs was only about 5 mins of the movie. Drinking makes most movies fun, particually visual violent ones like this.
