Batman raging at Superman that he was going to make him bleed immediately followed by Batman driving home in his demolished Batmobile gets funnier every time I watch it.

I really like that he has to stop and pick up the two parts superman ripped off, strap them to the roof of the car and then drive around with bugs hitting him in the face.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:I really enjoyed Snyder's scenes in Justice League, namely the attack on the amazons at the beginning and the fight versus the newly reawakened Superman. These scenes are just obviously higher quality than all the others. If you didn't grin like an idiot when Superman eyeballed the Flash, I don't even know what to say to you. It's such a perfect moment. I think I had the same facial expression Flash did. Such a cool moment, lost in the bland boringness that is JL.

It’s a really great “oh, I’m going to die now” reaction shot. Because of course you’re going to be scared shitless if Superman cranks his head towards you like you’re a babysitter and he’s Michael Myers. And the more that comes out about the movie, the more it’s “Joss went and reshot half the movie but what he reshot was ways to get around the setups that Terrio and Snyder and all had scripted and shot” like there apparently being a bunch of things involving Batman having Lois be his weapon of last resort if Supes came back bad, and having to pull that string before he was going to get killed - and Joss reshot chunks of the scene to make it so... Lois just shows up, driven to the spot by a cop. It comes off more and more like they really wanted an under two hour movie and Zack was like “yeah nope that’s not happening” and they removed him and brought Joss on and said “get us to 100 minutes” and he did exactly what they said.

BvS is clearly going for something very different from DKR, even if they do share a few plot elements, so it's not particularly useful to ask if it "lives up" to it, and also I'm not quite sure what definition of "dumb" you're applying here that doesn't apply to just about every other comic book movie.

hump day bitches! posted:The dark knight rises is awful and no amount of video essays can convince me otherwise. I don't think there's that much debate here. Nolan wanted to do a Tale Of Two Cities story and crammed it into the Batman framework, and the whole thing got muddied in the process. None of the characters behave consistently, and it barely feels like the third part of a trilogy.

McSpanky posted:Was that the shot that looked like John Travolta's mouth was grafted onto his face Conan O'Brien satellite interview style? I wanna say yes. It absolutely was, though I thought Cavill suddenly transformed into Adam Baldwin for that moment. I too liked the moment where Superman turns towards the Flash, and when he starts throwing punches that pulverize the environment and Flash is only barely able to dodge them. But everything right before and after is just so bad. Cyborg inadvertently pissing Superman off because Cyborg's cyborg body feels threatened is a nce idea on paper, but Cyborg's powers were so ill-defined in the movie that it just came out of left field. I think it happens once before in the first confrontation with Steppenwolf, but those scenes suck and leave no impression at all. And then Batman calls Alfred to call a cop to pick up Louis and the fight is over.Like, why not have her there right from the start? Nothing in the resurrection scene establishes that she couldn't also be there.

I think Snyder is fantastic at creating cool moments and shooting them in visually interesting ways. I just think he happens to be loving terrible at stitching them together into a coherent story and movie. I'm not a fan of the DC films at all, but I can appreciate his strengths. And Zack Snyder movies make loving AMAZING trailers. He just can't write for poo poo.

I liked it until the absolutely mind boggling decision to cut in the corny 1970's Superman theme right as psycho Superman is attempting to murder the poo poo out of Flash. What the gently caress? And it being the best scene in the movie is pretty damning because the entire sequence just looks so bad. Henry Cavill's CG face is the least of it, the whole thing is just the worst kind of "this is all in front of a green screen" muck.

What the gently caress? I hadn't even noticed the theme on my first watch then, but yeah when I watched the movie a second time recently it jumped out at me and was pretty annoying. I noticed the Batman theme the first time around, and the only thing it made me think was "Oh wait, there is music in this movie?" The look of the fight at the monument was especially disappointing because the location looked so great in BvS. From Wallace desecrating the statue to Doomsday sneering at it, the whole place was a nice bit of visualization of how the world reacts to Superman.

The score in Justice League was almost more distracting to me than the lovely CGI. It’s constantly making itself known in a bad way. I really wish we could hear what Junkie XL came up with.

Maybe Man of Steel too, which I liked a lot. Also, Dark Knight Rises is fine but suffers mainly from not being as good as the other two. There's a lot of cool poo poo in it but yeah it hasn't aged well and doesn't hold up too well over repeated viewings.

This criticism always bugs me out because there nothing thats particularly hard to follow about any of his movies? Like even the theatrical version of BvS which has a bunch of editing issues it's still easy to follow the main 3 characters motivations through out the movie (clark, bruce, lex)

When I watch his comic movies with people who aren't as steeped in the lore (Watchmen, BvS), most of them seem to get confused also. And even though I can follow it, I still feel like the execution was sort of choppy. I don't hate him and think he's a good film maker. Wasn't he tied to an "Excalibur" remake at some point? because that would be dope.

Snyder is very religious and Excalibur is one of his favorite films. I would definitely watch a King Arthur Excalibur Snyder film.

It'd be cool for Snyder to do his own thing. I dont think redoing Excalibur would be all that worth it with the endless comparisons.

The theatrical cut tbf is paced very oddly, it's because they were forced by the studio to cut I think something like 20+ minutes in order to squeeze in an extra screening per day. I read (and have posted in here) and interview with the editor which really impressed me and gave me a lot more respect for how editors work. I don't think he said this explicitly but IMO his basic strategy was the continue the type of dream-logic flow of the first few scenes through basically all of the first Act. It wasn't that the basic facts were hard to follow it was more that they flowed in such an odd way that it was hard to get your bearings. Anecdotal of course but I went with among others my wife who occasionally goes with us to comic book stuff but doesn't really follow what's part of what universe, and my sister-in-law who doesn't follow this poo poo at all, and they didn't have any problems following it. After watching a few more times I actually prefer the theatrical cut, the pace grew on me a lot and works since it basically carries from the initial traumatic opening scenes to the Knightmare, at which point things get a lot more focused. I think my ideal cut is somewhere between the theatrical and director's cut.

My favorite part of Glass is when they explained what a comic book was. The world can never know that there are men who can lift cars. The Cameo posted:It’s a really great “oh, I’m going to die now” reaction shot. Because of course you’re going to be scared shitless if Superman cranks his head towards you like you’re a babysitter and he’s Michael Myers. I agree that getting the movie to less than 2 hours was probably a priority for WB, but Snyder left because his daughter died. He wasn't fired.
