I thought it was rumored to be more of a direction thing, that he was being pushed by Lord and Miller to go too broad and too comedic and the acting coach was just readjusting to ratchet it back down.teagone posted:The kid from Baby Driver. Elgort was good in Baby Driver, but it also showed him bumping right up against the edge of his range.

That looks stupid. The goggles also look stupid. CGI Deadpool eyes would probably look better than either, but still kinda stupid.

MacheteZombie posted:Thor's "missing eye" makeup was hilariously terrible. That's because it was CGI. It was so bad I assume it was a last minute addition, since it didn't show up in the trailers in at least one key scene. Probably due to Infinity War reshoots or something.

The consensus seems to be its characters and banter is good, but that's about it. No story, bad villain, bad effects. I'll pass in the theaters and catch it on home video.

MrJacobs posted:All green/blue screen effects with actors looks so, so much worse in HD. I've been wondering when studios are going to go back and re-composite footage for re-releases like Lucas did with Star Wars. The vast majority movie buyers would care more about the cleaned up effects than the loss of movie history, and it'd be their wallets that count.

Neurolimal posted:The Sears approach to film production, just toss all the IP's on a table and say 'to the victor goes the spoils'. Wasn't this what they did with the Wonder Woman script? I recall stories talking about how there were 2 or 3 scripts from different writers in development and that WB would go with the best one. Or maybe they mashed them together in places, which is why the 3rd act suddenly dropped off a quality cliff.

Because a really great movie with a strong thematic throughline and carefully built character relationships suddenly turned into a boring CGI punchfest where the bad guy twisted his mustache and revealed that he was behind the plan all along?

euphronius posted:I guess but that's kind of typical third act stuff. Exactly. The rest of the movie was elevated above the sort of low standards that lead to "typical third act stuff". A better film would have led up to Wonder Woman being certain that Ares was behind it all only to figure out that Ares wasn't involved (or doesn't exist) and humanity was doing these terrible things all on its own, and that there is nothing she can punch to fix the situation. That instead, she has to inspire humanity to better themselves. But then there would be nothing to punch, and we can't have that.

It was a tight, simple story told well. That alone makes it a wild outlier when it comes to superhero films. Even the ones that are widely considered to be great are all over the place thematically and totally overstuffed with disparate characters and plot lines. The Dark Knight has like 10 totally different things going on and only like 7 of them come together at the end with a decent payoff. Also love that idea of the Ares reversal, being enslaved by mankind. That would've been my poo poo.

viral spiral posted:That is what I'm saying: Wonder Woman simply used the same structure, plot, and elements of other superhero films (hence mediocrity). I really don't understand how this is controversial to some. Yeah, dude. But it did it better. It's not the most original film, but it's unique in that it pulls it off without stuffing a bunch of other nonsense in there. Except the ending, which is my only issue with it.

S.J. posted:That's... that's what happens though. Ares influence is relatively minimal. Her boyfriend is humanity, who is inspired by her to better himself. Her punching Ares doesn't fix the situation, but she doesn't want to become his pawn or allow him to continue trying to influence humanity. Her fighting Ares is about her, she already inspired the people she was with. Nah. I mean, that stuff was all there, sure, but it didn't work. They tried to have their cake and eat it too, and it muddies the whole thing to the point where they might as well not have tried. You can't say "It was humanity all along!" but then turn around and go "But it was also me all along!" and have his defeat mean anything at all.

So Armie Hammer talked about his Batman from George Miller's Justice League: Mortal:quote:[Batman] was a guy who is severely, psychologically, almost deranged. It was dark and it was really intense and this guy had major trust issues, the whole thing Which is hilarious because Hammer sounds pretty miscast for that. But he'd make an excellent Adam West style Batman.

Lobok posted:He plays a violent psychotic barely holding it together in Man from U.N.C.L.E. I loved his performance in that film, but to me it felt like a total cartoon character. I agree that Social Network is fairly close in some places, but that's the farthest I've seen him go and it's nowhere near what he's describing in that quote.

It's not choppy, they're going for a stop-motion effect with some of the movement and texture-swapping. It's not like one of the artists hosed up and had their frame rate set to 15fps and they went "Well, too late to fix it now!" It's a really cool intentional stylistic effect. I love it.

Kinberg is also an awful producer. Just awful at everything he touches.Barry Convex posted:And at least Deadpool 2 and New Mutants are fairly self-contained, which makes it easier for Fox to evade questions about the future of those characters for now. Dark Phoenix has the misfortune of being part of the main X-franchise, and will almost certainly be the last time we see the Singerverse versions of most of its characters, even though it's safe to say that it wasn't conceived, written, or shot with the intent of serving as an epilogue to this continuity. IIRC it's specifically intended to be the middle part of a trilogy. Or maybe the first part of a trilogy? Who loving knows with these stupid movies.

Plus with Captain Marvel they're doing a 90s period piece. Between that and Ant-Man pushing back the dawn of the superhero to the 60s, I'm thinking the mutants have been there all along, but some sort of event will awaken the X-gene. Having a reverse House of M with Scarlet Witch is a good event as any.

I loved Stranger Things season 1, and while I recognize that there were some issues still think it's quite good. But hooo boy was season 2 just a sloppy and poorly written redo of season 1. They made all the same mistakes that they swore up and down in interviews that they were going to avoid. So much fan service (double down on Eggos! Make a totally unnecessary Barb subplot! Ship those characters!), so much repetition of plot points from the first season (Will is pursued by a monster in the upside down... again!!), so much repetition of visual elements from the first season (Wynona needs something weird hung up on all her walls), so many obvious straight-up lifts from 80s films (yes, we have also sen Temple of Doom and remember the Willie/Indy back and forth between rooms), so many fourth wall breaking meta moments (Brett Gelman's everything). It's textbook bad sequel. And on top of that, the writing was awful. Bad dialogue, characters hiding things from each other for no reason, etc.
