Imo Yeah that film was a dour adaptation of an obscure scifi novel with an ambiguous ending and apparently lots of studio interference (the director actually brought out his own cut sometime later) and it bombed at the box office so it can't have been very good.

i'm actually a rogue learning ai so i can only base my enjoyment of things on what others say, unfortunately. i will cop to this: avengers is not a very good film. neither is avengers 2. joss whedon should be forced into the desert for 5 years, it's the only way he'll learn.

Both of The Avengers movies are some of the worst movies to come out of the MCU so far, to be honest. The first one is shot like a TV movie, while the second one is just a mess. I'm very glad Joss Whedon doesn't have much, if any, influence over the films now, that's for sure.

Liking things is better than hating them. I wish I could like everything, but I can't. Snowglobe of Doom posted:It really did bomb at the box office, audiences are idiots. On the other hand, if it hadn't bombed we wouldn't have gotten Neuromancer and Cyberpunk. And it eventually became a beloved classic, redeemed in the eyes of the people, and during the life of the director too! poo poo, is Vangelis still alive? *googles* Yes, he is. He's making music for Space Programs now, that's loving awesome.

It's kind of amazing how much better the concept art looks aesthetically compared to what we actually got in both of the Avengers movies. Below are a few concepts from Age of Ultron:

Halloween Jack posted:I'm very sure Batman is imagining what Superman's Kryptonian parents are like, not Clark's human parents. Well, all Batman's other victims have human parents. Joe Chill (that's his usual name, right?) had human parents. Problem is, they all either killed Martha or allowed 'them' to kill Martha.

This is from a couple pages back.The MSJ posted:Was his Tom Clancy movie better? It was utterly forgettable. I saw it in theaters and I actually had to look up the title right now (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit). I didn't even remember that Brannagh starred in it too. And for some reason I keep confusing what little I remember of it with RED 2 on top of that.

The original cut got trashed by studio execs with a long list of complaints. They recut it based on the requests and the theatrical cut, that is considered the worst cut, was born.

Yea everything that's great about Blade Runner is still there in the theatrical version, its just that the Final Cut takes out some things that were preventing it from reaching perfection. The Final Cut is, in my opinion, a perfect film.

Edit: Slice of life that I forgot to mention - last night I was over at my dad's place doing the grandkids thing and he was scrolling through the movies available to rent/buy digitally and crossed Civil War. "BTW, I saw that. I didn't like it at all." And I was like "What?!??!" because, of course, that's a broadly popular film. According to my 70 year old dad, Civil War is a bad film because "heroes (other than Black Panther, who 'had good reasons because his dad died') should never fight each other". Obviously I'm steering him well-clear of BvS! Megaman's Jockstrap fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Aug 4, 2016 |

But imo it lacks impact, Armored bats vs depowered supes looked like just two regular guys bar brawling, it didnt communicate how strong either were, and I dont mean in the nerdy 'supes can lift exactly x kilos' sense. There wasnt a consistent sense of mass or momentum. On the human vs human side the future dream sequence felt so obviously staged and pre-baked it looked like a routine from a musical. In fact yeah I was half expecting batman to hit the high note when he grabbed the lady on the floor's arm. And yeah now that youve mentioned it I went back and looked at some of the scenes and they totally do always arrive to a certain pose in a really un-flowing way. Also I dont like the Gal Gadot casting.

Rigged Death Trap posted:preface: Jargons not my strong point. neither is getting the right words. Ok, I completely understand what you are saying, but you also said Man of Steel was the same way and it's staged a little different - people go flying and fight at super-speed. There's a lot more mass an impact outside of the brief flying sequence at the end...I really felt the sense of impact was communicated much better in Man of Steel. I also agree with you that the Knightmare one-take sequence was pretty stagey and choreographed. Not that I mind that, but it certainly doesn't look like something more naturally impactful like from The Raid.

There wasnt a consistent sense of mass or momentum. I think there's two things going on here. There are bits in the title fight that are just straight-up brawling: http://i.imgur.com/i2RQBkL.gifv The idea here is that Superman has been reduced to Batman's level, and he's terrible at it. But this is relatively little of the fight. More of it is stuff like this: http://i.imgur.com/xZxktEv.gifv Where we see how things change as the effect of the Kryptonite waxes and wanes. That's how you end up with an inconsistent sense of mass and momentum: http://i.imgur.com/Q9GpxkV.gifv As Superman's strength returns, he's able to start bending the rules. It's inconsistent because what he has available to him is changing.

To expand beyond the superficial of a fight between wildly unmatched opponents in an abandoned hotel/apartment building, the more vulnerable of the two abandons his lust for killing when he reveals he's deluded by fear.
