Darko posted:Nah, that's not how executives work. It's RT score is way above BvS, for instance, which they also thought would make a billion dollars. Early positive screenings and it being a multiverse movie was their path to success. They sourced Twitter opinions and figured leaning into Keaton Batman is what everyone wanted and would guarantee box office. Yeah, can't be overstated that WB execs in particular are completely twitter-brained and wildly overreacting to criticism they don't actually understand, on top of having no real understanding of how storytelling works. It's all cargo culting and focus grouping and believing their own coke fuelled lies. It seriously is WB's Rise of Skywalker, and I wonder if that movie has gotten people much more wary of troubled franchise instalments.

that was honestly much less of a poo poo show than I expected, given what everyone knows about the film it was....OK top 3rd for DC movies but that's a low, low bar.

Blackchamber posted:I havent been following Blue Beetle like I did this because it lacks Keaton Batman, but I like the character at least the version from Young Justice. I've heard it mentioned though that it also doesn't look like it will do well. Anyone care to shed light on the subject or point me to an analysis/breakdown? I know we all love the schad, but I dont think any of us really wants to see bad movies and I hope its decent. It about a guy that gets a less exciting Iron Man suit.

Blue Beetle could work played more as toku Venom, but there's absolutely no way WB is able to do that.

Saw this in not-really-IMAX-but-we're-going-to-pretend-it-is on Saturday night. It was not as bad as I expected it to be. The weird "PS2-like" visual style in the time travelly bits seemed consistent at least, so I can excuse the poor reproduction of Henry Cavill Superman. The humour mostly landed for me, although I do find Barry's character to be *really* annoying. I'm not sure if that's just Ezra Miller's performance or what, but I definitely don't need two of them in the same movie. Keaton was great, although some of the CGI moves he pulls off look *very* awkward indeed. Not really any way around that though, I guess. You can't get a 71 year old to be holding his own against an army of mooks without some help from the CGI department. Wasn't keen on the rest of the cameos, with the exception of George Clooney Bruce Wayne at the end. It'd be one thing if they contributed to proceedings in some way, but just showing up on screen for a couple of seconds... nah, needn't have bothered.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:It's good. You're a good reviewer, and I think you gave this movie a fair shake. Like you said, the biggest problems are that you can see it actually start working and catch glimpses of what might have been, then it drops another plop on the audience. Thanks! Very kind.

I generally like DC movies, even the bad ones, because they’re at least bad in interesting ways for the most part. But this movie sounds like a 2 hour gallery of member berries and I’m suuuuuper sick of that poo poo at this point. I mean Batman Returns is probably my favorite superhero movie ever and I just groaned when I heard Michael Keaton was in this. Just let the past be.

Bogus Adventure posted:I really would have enjoyed seeing the Snyder's movies play out, especially with the New Gods being involved. It was a series of superhero movies that spoke to me, that felt over-the-top like high opera and treated the heroes like the heroes and villains of myths. His proposed conclusion sounds wild, and probably would have made more "fans" angry, but it wasn't like we were never going to get more Batman and Superman movies. What was the proposed conclusion?

Which I mean, I'm sure from WB's perspective was not the play if they wanted a 20 year MCU style mega-franchise but it's not bad as far as storytelling goes to have a heroic sacrifice. Like legitimately all this is is a high level outline that might as well say "some comic book poo poo happens but our heroes win in the end but with a price"

It's all cargo culting and focus grouping and believing their own coke fuelled lies. WB‘s handling of DC has been stuck in a cycle of reaction and overcorrection ever since they retroactively decided to make Man of Steel the start of a shared cinematic DCU after production had already wrapped, seemingly in reaction to the success of the original Avengers. if nothing else, there’s certainly symmetry in one of the DCEU’s last gasps revolving so much around the events of MoS

Is $30m for a Pixar movie opening really that bad? Seems like all of the recent stuff has been just doing okay numbers, not sure why anyone would expect a $100m opening weekend or whatever.
