The Wachowskis did Speed Racer and that's a really good film. Its visual design and execution is excellent. They'd make an extremely visually interesting comic book film.

Except that Snyder had made 300 and Watchmen before MoS, both made a lot of money for the studio, and MoS wasn't conceived as the start of a cinematic universe.

I'd rather have Snyder and his what some may consider to be a failed vision on the screen than the Marvel movies that get put through the patented Disney movie blandifier machine.

Also MoS was well received. While looking up the embargo dates I kept finding reviews from major publications that were all positive, some of them extremely so. It seems like the backlash came from internet fans later. MoS is personally my favorite superhero film.

As a qualifier I'd say I like BvS but didn't love it, same for Watchmen, haven't seen any of his other films. Tried watching Guardians Owl of Gahoole once but kid wasn't interested. I just think it's an excellent Superman film, my favorite Superman film, of my favorite comic book character.

Shane was filmed to be in color at a time where that was still not always a sure thing and could be a novel concept. Not quite a gimmick, but definitely not the norm. Logan is a modern movie supposedly filmed to be black and white when I think I can safely say the vast majority of Logan's intended audience has never seen a black and white movie. I think it's a valid question about how Logan looks or if it's just a stupid gimmick to make you buy an over priced bluray.

Kurzon posted:Suicide Squad didn't know whether it wanted to be a riff on Deadpool, Mission Impossible, or Ghostbusters. That's because it's more riffing on Avengers, Escape from New York, Dirty Dozen than those. I'll grant you Enchantress is very Gozer-like, but Deadpool??  Beyond Deashot's name and costume, what are the similarities there?

I do think Deadpool encouraged this movie because it proved that comedic anti-heroes were viable. Harley Quinn wants to be an evil female Deadpool. Obviously the soundtrack was inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy. And Enchantress would have perfect for a Ghostbusters movie.

Suicide Squad came out six months after Deadpool. There simply wasn't the time for Deadpool to encourage the development of Suicide Squad.Kurzon posted:In the movie Waller pitches the Suicide Squad as a counter-weapon to superhuman threats, which is an odd notion because most of her recruits are not superhuman themselves and this sort of goal doesn't require press-ganging supervillains in secret because the public would totally approve of a government-run anti-superhuman police force. You're confusing a few different things Waller is doing. Enchantress is the one being pitched as the anti-Superman weapon (though also as a generally useful asset). The Suicide Squad are some disposable killers she's doing the same sort of leveraged-control over, but they're not supposed to fight gods or anything. That's why their eventual attempt to take on Enchantress is self-directed.

I guess Deadshot's weary sarcasm and Harley's ditzy moll kinda seem like Deadpool's manic teenager on paper, but the movies sense of humour have a pretty different tone I feel. There's a deep well of sadness underneath the banter of the Slave Soldier Squad, whereas Mr. Pool really enjoys what's happened to him, vanity over mottled skin aside.

Waller's got a big thing about transformations and mutations going on. She pitches them against Enchantress in the expectation that something hosed up will happen, which it kinda does to Diablo in the end. Enchantress is also ultimately pretty ineffectual. At full power she destroys a boat and a satellite dish.

This is true for the finale, but the whole mission is superfluous - Waller states that she needed to hang around so she could watch Enchantress on a livefeed? And gets directly airlifted out in a matter of seconds once they reach the roof. Also she totally sets them up in the office fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFNjh06ZnBk&t=130s

And gets directly airlifted out in a matter of seconds once they reach the roof. Right, she uses them to cover her escape to the roof, because the area is swarming with monsters. She then abandons them to die, because they're disposable. None of which means she pitches them against Enchantress.

Is there a better zombie movie than 2004s Dawn of the Dead? That movie has everything. I know a lot of people like 28 Days Later but I was pretty eh on it. I remember seeing it in theaters with my dad and not liking it. We rented the first Resident Evil movie to wash the taste out of our mouths. Dawn of the Dead 2 is so, so bad. I fuckin hate Nick Cannon. SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Nov 8, 2017 |
