BigglesSWE posted:Just watched The Incredibles 2 again, this time with my girlfriend who didn’t care for the first one that much. I have to agree with her sentiment and say that the sequel is much, much better than the first movie. It balances the slow and fast much better and it’s overall very creative and fun. 21 Muns posted:I wouldn't go so far as to say that The Incredibles 2 is better than the first, but I do think all of the people crowing about how much worse it is than the first (and particularly the people who think Screenslaver is a less interesting or less coherently written villain than Syndrome) are coming from a place of pure nostalgia. I falls into the same kinda zone as Monsters U did, where the advancement in technology led to better lighting, better designs, better camera use, basically everything that was a hard limit was removed and the filmmakers are more free to express their ideas without compromise. So it looks amazing and every scene flows smoother and it's just a much better production both in 3D animation technology and cinematic technique. But does that directly translate to a better movie? Monsters U didn't have nearly as strong an emotional core or thematic throughline as Monsters Inc, though I still liked it, and Incredibles 2 has the unfortunate fate of following up The Incredibles, which I feel is a pretty unfavorable comparison since that movie is pretty drat fantastic at both of those things.

All the sequels are pretty bland, honestly. Finding Dory, Toy Story 3, Monsters U, Cars 3, just incredibly forgettable plop.

I hated Finding Dory. I hated how they comvenienced her short-term memory loss and I hated how the entire film was a string of chase sequences to the point that it startled me when they had a slow moment around the 50 minute mark. You know what? Hate's too strong a word. I hated The Boxtrolls.

I genuinely found Finding Dory more appealing than Finding Nemo but dad films don't do much for me while Dory's still hit home.

I remember the classism and how painfully apparent it became that the villain was so desperate to just be accepted and loved, but more than anything I remember the outright anger I felt towards it. It was a horrible injustice that wasn't treated as one.

I liked Toy Story 3 a lot and felt it was a great thematic continuation to the series for a few reasons. Kind funny considering the villain is more or less what might have happened to Woody and/or Buzz if they'd failed to find their way back to Andy in the first movie.

I should probably note that I never thought the first Incredibles movie was that great. Not bad, far from it, but to me it was quickly overshadowed by Ratatouille. To each his own. I think the sequel is better. I went to Wikipedia and discovered that there’s a very short synopsis published for Toy Story 4. Apparently trying to find Bo Peep who was hadwaived away in the third movie.

I THINK I still prefer Monsters Inc to Monsters U, but the scene where Mike realizes that he's just straight up not meant to pursue his dream while at the summer camp is done so incredibly well.

I know there was some controversy about Gwen Stacey's footgear, but I personally find sticking landings en pointe cool as gently caress. Ballet is awesome and makes for amazing fight choreography. Excited.

CeallaSo posted:Why stop there? Make all of the female hyenas bigger and stronger than the males, and have them treat the males like poo poo as they regard them as inherently of lesser worth; in a hyena pack, even the best and strongest of the males is considered lower in the social hierarchy than the weakest female. Also, give all the female hyenas big ol' dicks. Das Boo posted:It's weird, I've since forgotten a lot about Boxtrolls.

It also had a heaping helping of transphobia thrown in there, seemingly for no reason because from what I've heard it wasn't in the original book. Boxtrolls was a bad movie for a lot of reasons.

Sony produces some real crap but they actually experiment too. Must be weird at that studio, you can either be hired to work on sonething minblowing like Spuderverse or you can get assigned to The Star or The Emoji Movie. Can’t think of another studio with those crazy highs and lows

I think it's just that they had no idea what they were doing when they hired Lord and Miller for Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, and got real lucky. And since then, both minions and The Lego Movie came out and they've been chasing their own dragons. Probably would be better off trying to do something new rather than aping the rest of the industry, cause it's fairly evident that Illumination/Disney/Warner's Lego Features have captured their respective markets. Reminder, Sony killed both Lauren Faust's Medusa feature and Gendy Tartakovsky's Popeye film (which looked gorgeous). So unless your last name is Lord or Miller, or even Sandler, as far as Sony's concerned you can go gently caress yourself.

Gendy is so good at motion in his animation. His characters in his CG movies move so differently from everything else around, and they work much better for physical humor that is kinda hard to do in 3D animation.

dirksteadfast posted:As great as the test footage for Popeye was, I can’t imagine it would have made the studio much money. Yeah, it wasn't that Sony killed it so much as Tartakovsky bailed on the project because he was unwilling to play nice with the studio's demands and since the whole film was his passion project from the start it withered on the vine and died without him driving it. The same thing happened with Medusa, Faust left the movie after a year of development citing nebulous "creative differences".

Between Into the Spiderverse and the latest spider-man game Sony seems to be pumping some serious funding into reviving Spider-Man. The game is so polished that I'm convinced they were willing to lose money on its development just to improve the brand. From the trailer Into the Spiderverse seems flashy enough that it might be a similar deal, or at the very least they were willing to take a chance with where they spent their money.

I really hope that Spider-Verse has Japanese Spider-man show up. He actually showed up in the big comics crossover event, with his giant robot as the heroes' trump card.

Why was there never another Tintin movie after the one Spielberg made? Seemed like it was set on being a continuing series (and there's obviously little shortage of existing stories you already have for Tintin).

Wasn't it a passion project for Spielberg, Jackson and Wright at the same time? and obviously all three have their schedules filled Herge heirs/Tintin owners are probably stingy about the license and the first movie did not exactly set the world on fire.

Spider-Man PS4 is also Marvel's jump into a sort of MCU like gaming universe. Which is loving awesome because it's been poo poo mobile games for years until they were like "Welp, Activision's done with him and Disney Infinity is dead".
