Rhyno posted:It looks great. Nothing will ever match the ASM2 suit but they wanted to get away from that design language. And honestly, this new suit looks like a genius 16 year old might have read up on screen printing and made it himself. Please don't remind me that I'm never getting another Garfield Spider-Man movie. The new suit looks really cool, in a very 1970s Spidey way, but ASM cribbed from my favorite Spider-Man (Ultimate), and Garfield was just perfect all around, it bums me out that ASM2 (which was really disappointing) is the last we're seeing of him.

achillesforever6 posted:I should feel sorry for Joss after all the stress that it took to make the film, but then again a lot of it was self inflicted I had an argument with a friend about Age of Ultron where I argued that Marvel's problem was not that they cut up Joss Whedon's script so much, but that Joss Whedon wrote a loving 3 1/2 hour movie and Marvel said "yeah go ahead and film that" instead of "gently caress you Joss, go make a movie that won't be cut to shreds". He was totally fine with the idea of a 3 1/2 hour Age of Ultron, which is right above a 3 1/2 hours of a blank screen in terms of "things I want to watch".

bring back old gbs posted:The entire way DC is going about their extended universe is weird. They took this movie to introduce Flash, WW, Aquaman, and Dr. Pepper Cyborg, instead of trying them on their own and replacing the actors if the films didn't work. Then they plan on doing their big team up movie BEFORE their individual movies? What if one sucks? Like you have this great team but one clear anchor weighing everything down? Now some clunky team member replacement thing needs to happen before the next movie can go forward with the Actual Good team, but that crappy guy was still around at the beginning. It took like, 3 movies to make Hawkeye not lame in the Marvel movies. The worse thing would be if they made an entire movie around a lovely character before realizing it didn't work. Also, you know, there were years and years of cinema where people could introduce multiple characters in the same movie and it worked just fine.

LORD OF BUTT posted:The CGI is a huge black mark, but other than that it's a really fun movie that gets way too bad of a rap. And, as mentioned, the soundtrack is Movies around that time had some really loving great practical effects, for whatever reason. It was right after Jurassic Park, so the amount of advancement in technology was still huge (before people stopped caring and CGI looked better), and a lot of bigger budget movies used at least some CGI, and the CGI at that time was really pretty garbage. Mortal Kombat is the same way; that Goro animatronic is super dope.

I would like to know what actual kids thought of BvS. Like, we can hypothesize all we like, but I wish someone with kids who took them to the movie could just tell us what they thought. I'm genuinely curious, because it's definitely not a movie that was made with children in mind, but I could see them really liking the fight scenes.

Y Kant Ozma Diet posted:People responded more positively to the second Suicide Squad trailer so it's unfortunate those reshoot rumors are bunk. They could've had a solid movie there. But the other part of the rumor (that is probably false) is that the movie is completely serious outside of the trailer bits. For all we know the trailer is actually a very good representation of the tone of the movie, and the reshoots have nothing to do with changing that. I think it's way more likely that the marketing is probably pretty close to the tone of the movie, and is not some sort of Bridge-to-Terebithia-esque misdirection. Especially considering the second trailer for SS was released pre-Deadpool (so they'd have no reason to misrepresent it) and the trailers for all of DC's movies have fairly well captured the actual movie (Watchmen, MoS, and Dark Knight all had really good trailers that pretty accurate represented the tone of their movies).

I just turned The Dark Knight on, and as much as I like BvS, the storytelling in TDK is like a loving machine gun in comparison. A really magical, awesome machine gun. Though Bale-Bat looks and sounds extra goofy in his regular armor and growly-voice compared to Batfleck. Ben Affleck just looks like a comic book in that costume.

wyoming posted:Why was the Joker so bad? I thought this was a fun movie. Dark Knight is actually a way funnier movie than most people give it credit for. I laugh very hard, every time at Bruce Wayne cancelling an entire week of shows of the Russian Ballet and taking them all on a yacht, because it's the most Bruce Wayne thing imaginable, and he's not even doing it for the obvious benefit (spending a bunch of time on a boat with a bunch of russian ballerinas). I think Maggie Gyllenhaal's reaction is the cherry on top of that whole bit.

wyoming posted:Oh I was just giving Celtic poo poo for moping about BvS. Has anyone else ever gone with that blatant an image of Bruce Wayne: Trust Fund Baby? Affleck did a little bit of that in BvS, and in my head, all of the 90s media had him as much more competent (except Batman and Robin which lets Clooney channel his inner Adam West to our benefit). Bruce Wayne as Paris Hilton is brilliant in the same way that Christopher Reeves' Clark Kent as goofy bumpkin is, in terms of hiding secret identities. God Dark Knight is so loving good. Out of this entire generation of superhero movies, from X-Men to whenever this bubble pops, that's gonna be the one that holds up. It's not perfect, but I can't imagine anything that would make it any better, unless they could go back in time and film the rest of it in IMAX too.

This might sound really morbid, but I think Heath Ledger dying when he did really sealed his, and the movie's, place in film lore forever. He was so terrifying in that performance that if he had tried to do it again, or people had kept hiring him to play that sort of unhinged freak, it would have diluted it. He's right there with James Dean, River Phoenix and Kurt Cobain. Like, in my head, being the Joker killed him, which is a claim to fame that pretty much no one else can match. This is to the point where, in the dark part of my head, I expect Jared Leto to attempt suicide in the next 6 months while completely missing the point, which is exactly who Jared Leto is in my head: a sad attempt at capturing that particular aura while missing what really makes an actor like Ledger magnificent. Someday down the line I'll write a Ebert's Great Movies-esque essay about how awesome TDK is. I could fill a loving book slobbering over that movie's knob. CelticPredator posted:"Where's the alarm guy?" "I bet the boss told you to kill me when I was done with my work, huh?" "no no, I kill the bus driver" "Bus Driver?"

Jack of Hearts posted:That was clever on first watch and made no sense at all on rewatches. Joker is a gang leader first and foremost, as he has no powers. Why do goons work for the guy who murders all his underlings and is profoundly indifferent to profit in the film? How would they know he coldblooded murders his guys? I'm sure he doesn't volunteer that sort of information, and Joker only actually murders one of his guys (the others take care of themselves in the opening sequence). Hell, most of those guys weren't even hired by the Joker himself, because otherwise they would have noticed who he was behind the mask. Plus, remember, he has a giant fuckload of money. Even if he's pretty blasé about the idea of being rich, he knows what money can get people to do. Criminals have been known to risk their necks for that much cash. And they could also think that, because they think they know how it's going to go down, they can manipulate him and get even richer. That guy in the first scene who pulled the gun on Joker probably assumed that he was gonna get away with all of the cash, because he knew the pattern. What he didn't know was that Joker is smarter than him.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:it was definitely weird seeing 6 year old kids in the theater for the Dark Knight. I'm a huge fan of Snyder on the whole, but can you imagine something like Joker's "magic trick" or Batman beating the gently caress out of him in the interrogation room under his watch? Nolan didn't really linger on the violence in TDK, so it was probably much less scarring for young children. On the other hand, I could totally imagine a 7 year old getting really confused watching TDK, while being able to parse BvS perfectly.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Umberto Gonzales recently dropped some very interesting rumours about the future of the DC Cinematic Universe I hope you're right. Ballroom Blitz is the perfect song to cut a trailer to after that Bohemian Rhapsody one, and I'll totally go see BvS in theaters a couple more times if they release the R-rated one and it's as much better as I would hope/think/want. That said, I feel like I don't buy Batman being in SS that much, unless "more prominent" means that his specter looms large over the movie. We know he's in the movie in some aspect related to the Joker, it would totally make sense if a bunch of the other guys have had run-ins with The Bat. I'm surprised they're not trying to get Batfleck out sooner. Like, when they announced two mystery movies, I totally expected the earlier one to be Batman, especially considering they've already got some casting done, and Affleck is already working on a treatment, and is presumed to direct. He's also saying that the unannounced event film WB is working on is The Tomb Raider, which I completely buy, especially if they've got Daisy Ridley onboard.

No, I just meant a Suicide Squad trailer cut to Ballroom Blitz, but the Rock Band cover idea is pretty inspired too. Ballroom Blitz is one of those songs that should be in every action movie. Like Don't Stop Me Now, or Bohemian Rhapsody, or anything by The Beastie Boys. My friend who is a huge comic nerd does Ballroom Blitz as his karaoke song, he was pretty stoked by this news as well.

Now, to be fair, that wasn't entirely a crowd of men, there was a woman in it too. (edit: of course I wouldn't be the only person to notice that) Plus, Harley's liable to get a story about coming out from under Joker's shadow, and based on who is around during what scenes, I could see Katana's mirroring her's as well. Plus there's the Wall, who's in charge of the whole thing. I think the most awkward one is Enchantress, who is wearing some sort of moss and nothing else, for some unknown reason. But they're keeping her out of the trailers for the most part (probably because she ends up being the big bad but they don't want to spoil it, but that's just my speculation.) edit: mr. stefan posted:I love that the Joker is driving what looks like a Mohoroshi Lambo, because of course he would.
