Honestly? Probably none that they share. I'm pretty sure they're going to go all-in on the chance to tear that apart since we're in Trump's America now.

No way, the chance to say BvS is worse than propaganda films is too clickbaity a headline to not make happen.

Also I just checked and Irons was not nominated, but Eisenberg was, which makes way more sense.

The underlying argument is always there - it was appropriate, uplifting, and humanizing. It was sad and bitter, but there is safety and comfort to it. Paternal comfort.

But now there is no safety and comfort.

And what is it replaced with? I've been largely focusing on story structure, and your argument seems to be that removing those elements of structure somehow improve the film? So let me flip the script, instead of challenging us to defend why we dislike the film 'for no reason' and then dismissing all reasons offered, what do you like about MoS as a film, in what ways does it execute it's story well as both a piece of cinema in general, and as a tentpole action film?

The ending is patronizing at best. It's a terrible movie that honestly does no good things to mental health misconceptions this country already has and the twist at the end is honestly just a big ol' basket of member berries to get you to try and forget about how crappy the rest of the movie is.

If you go see an M. Night Shyamalan movie expecting to see a realistic treatment of mental illness then maybe the problem is you.


Actually if you go see one of his movies at all that's probably the problem. Don't go see bad movies.

Jackman has said that Logan happens in a alternative timeline and universe from the "main" X-men movie timeline. Which is interesting because it does give them a lot more freedom, but the X-men movie timeline is only slightly less confusing than the comics one. Also this means that moving Laura into the main X-men movies may not happen, which sucks a lot more than anything else.

Mental illness is terrifying though and it needs to be looked at a lot closer than it is, so people who are need of it can get help.

Superhero movies before Man of Steel can be broadly divided into being either juvenile (such as the Dark Knight or Iron Man trilogies) or silly (like The Rocketeer or Sam Raimi's Spider-Man) - this isn't to call them all bad, but it's their basic condition. Man of Steel has the distinction of being the first serious superhero movie. e: Well, second if you count Watchmen.

Some reviewers are very open about not liking this, like Cambridge Day's Tom Meek: "What's missing in Snyder's Superman is a dash of the hokey goodness that Christopher Reeve contributed to the role and the comic cold cheesiness that Gene Hackman and Terrence Stamp brought as Luthor and Zod."

It's always interesting to see people who used to be normal posters posting normal posts slowly but irrevocably turning into gimmick accounts who rely on their gimmicks for amusement. We don't always get to see the transitioning process in action, but in this case we've had the privilege of studying the conversion in an up-close, detailed fashion through the months.
