Neurolimal posted:I like that scene but mostly because Christopher Meloni aka Angry Cop Dad owns. He's the modern David Boreanaz, in that he has that dumb puppy charisma that emanates from their powerful foreheads. Man of Steel’s greatest sin was killing off Christopher Meloni and Richard Schiff.

I loved Michael Giacchino’s work on Doctor Strange and it was partly because you could hear its temp track influences. There was a lot of Trevor Jones’ Dark City and Don Davis’ The Matrix in there, and that makes perfect sense. When a movie apes shots or scenes from an earlier film, it’s an homage. I feel pretty much the same about Jones and Davis influencing Doctor Strange.

WENTZ WAGON NUI posted:Why are the scenes of aliens attacking in Aliens so much more gripping and believable than the fight with the Troll in Thor 2: The Dark World? After all what Aliens was was just some guys in suits--in fact they only had three complete alien suits IIRC and had to use choppy editing to make it appear there were more. versus the "unlimited palette" of CGI, why is it better? Because those scenes were meant to convey different things? The firefight in Aliens was meant to be tense and terrifying. The duel in The Dark World was a humorous, anticlimactic denouement. They're completely different tonally.

WENTZ WAGON NUI posted:Right but why does Aliens look "real"---like, you take it for granted those are real guns, real slime on the walls etc.--while the fight scene in Thor looks like a guy in a plastic chestplate grappling a grey hunk of CGI? It's not because Aliens was before CGI, there were plenty of unconvincing special effects before that. Again, there's a different tone. Aliens is dark, tense action/horror, while Thor: The Dark World is a lighter, sillier action movie. I think you're overstating how unrealistic The Dark World looks, but it's definitely not supposed to convey versimilitude. Electromax posted:I don't think anyone is going to bat to defend Thor 2. It's me, I'm the guy who'll go to bat for The Dark World. It's not great cinema, but it's got enough good points to make it worthwhile.

feedmyleg posted: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. I was kind of hoping for a complete reversal, wherein it turns out Ares actually is responsible, but only because the humans had enslaved him and forced him to create their tools of war. Because mankind is capable of greater extremes of good and evil than the gods ever were.

dont even fink about it posted:I mean this thread is predicated on a comic book movie bubble. Almost every poster in the thread is hoping for one franchise or another to fail simply because it offends their taste. I'm not. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean someone else won't. If seeing more movies like Batman v Superman makes some people happy, what's the harm? I won't be seeing them, and it's not like them merely existing is detracting from my life in any way.

Burkion posted:I think we even SEE them after the fact. We don’t, actually. We neither see nor hear them after the fact. The last we see of that family is them almost being eclipsed by Zod’s eyebeams. There is a conspicuous puff of black smoke emanating from where they were in the long shot of Lois comforting Superman.  EDIT: Looks like I was wrong.

Mechafunkzilla posted:I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around just how visually illiterate someone would have to be to think the family in MoS got vaporized, rather than saved Come on. With the benefit of repeated viewings and freeze frame, yeah, but even the people saying they did survive were iffy about the details. One moment of them crouching amidst some rubble where they’re clearly not the focus of attention? How is it strange that people who’ve only seen the movie once might miss that?

Mechafunkzilla posted:Who gives a poo poo if you see them afterwards or not? It's, like, the entire point of the scene, that he kills Zod to save them. I'm not talking about people missing a shot, I'm talking about a much more basic failure in cognition and ability to process film language. I mean...Superman kills Zod, and, like that one guy said, he raises his gaze to where that family should be and screams. I didn't read it as the family being dead, but it's not unthinkable that someone might. Like that guy. GonSmithe posted:He obviously saved them, that's the entire point of the scene. The movie does not need to have the family RUN UP TO SUPERMAN AND HUG HIM while he's screaming in order to know they are saved. This is why you get dumbass poo poo like the Russian family in Justice League or the WE HAVE TO SAVE ALL THE PEOPLE in Age of Ultron. Can't there be a middle ground? Somewhere between completely ignoring them and zooming in on them after the fact? Even some foley work so you can hear them existing in the background?
