Snowman_McK posted:The last few action scenes drag. They aren't quite good enough to be action scenes, but aren't quite funny enough to be comedy scenes. It's still good, but not nearly as densely packed as the rest of the movie. I disagree. The model town/Lethal Weapon/kaiju scene was fantastic.

Yoshifan823 posted: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. That's funny because when I saw it in theaters I thought Goro looked really bad.

Xenomrph posted:We're talking about a movie that made over a billion dollars worldwide, enjoyed by 92% of critics (82% of top critics) and 91% of audiences, has a 4.6 out of 5 with over 10,000 reviews on Amazon, and an 8.1 out of 10 with nearly 100,000 ratings on IMDb, so when someone says the movie is "bad", the thought does cross my mind, yes. At the very least I imagine people who think 'The Avengers' is bad recognize and acknowledge that they're in the extreme minority, right? There are many tv shows that have much better cinematography than Avengers. It isn't that there are better action movies than the Avengers it is that the Avengers is a poor action movie. The action sequences are flat and there are no stakes nor consequences (unless you're a car).

Xenomrph posted:I guess I just disagree then? The movie shows a literal interdimensional invasion ripping Manhattan a new rear end in a top hat, while a half dozen heroes do whatever they can to stop the destruction. The action is entertaining as heck, does a good job of showcasing the different characters' strengths and weaknesses (and their teamwork), and even manages to make the "non-powered" characters like Hawkeye or Black Widow feel like they're contributing to the action in meaningful, visually interesting ways. Somehow New York, one of the most densely populated places in the country, is completely devoid of people in minutes so that takes all the tension and stakes out of it. The action is terrible and makes no sense. The camera is not framed on anything interesting (cars again), the shots do not flow into each other with anything resembling narrative structure.

Xenomrph posted:It's a lighthearted PG-13 comic book movie, what were you expecting? Bodies in the street, moaning as they're crushed by rubble? Yeah, Man of Steel and many other PG-13 movies managed to do it just fine. The composition is bad. You can follow the action in each individual scene it is just bland and has that weird flat lighting that makes it even more uninteresting. The scenes don't flow together well to tell a story. We're supposed to believe the Avengers are being overwhelmed but there is nothing shown to convey that. I guess you missed all the movie-fight posts that showed all of this.

Race is a stupid way to view things but if Africans have a set of similar characteristics, its something that is definitely shared by ancient Egyptians. Egyptians typically weren't black. There were a bunch of different races in Africa back then. The Nubians to the south were black Africans but Egyptians were closer to Mesopotamians in their features.

It's funny when people point to how much money a film made to determine how good or bad it is. Dredd is loving fantastic and it made poo poo. I didn't even know it had come out until about a year later and it may be my favorite action movie of the 2010s. A little more on topic: I vastly prefer Snyder's style of filmmaking to everything Marvel Studios has put out. He makes pretty movies with great compositions and I'd rather watch that and films like Godzilla '14 than Winter Soldier or the Avengers.
