Otisburg posted:At this point I think the American public is more aware of the particulars of Batman's origin than the algebraic order of operations, the basic three-branch structure of the US government, or heliocentrism. I will honestly be thrilled if Civil War and subsequent movies never mention Uncle goddamn Ben. Batman, Superman, and Spiderman have origin stories more well known than the birth of Jesus.

Domestic weekend: It's 6th of all time. But consider this: look at the loving title of the movie. Of course this was going to happen. With almost universal negative word of mouth, I'm really interested to see if it has a 60%> drop in the second weekend. Remember that Ang Lee's Hulk, Daredevil, and X3 weren't bombs. But the reviews and big weekend drop off scared away the studios. The Anime Liker fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Mar 28, 2016 |

Man of Steel had the awesome opening stuff on Krypton, 80 minutes of the worst melodrama ever written, and then 45 minutes of idiotic BANG SMASH Michael Bay CGI that was so loving awful BvS had to apologize for it. (And apparently there's hilarious cutaways during the boss fight where they keep cutting to Batman going "thank god that building was EMPTY, viewers at home!")

Man of Steel is just like Les Miserables. The only scenes you should watch are the ones with Russell Crowe in them. [but for different reasons]

8-Bit Scholar posted:I feel like the destruction in Man of Steel was vastly overemphasized by critics. Every Superhero Movie has had huge amounts of destruction; cities and poo poo get wrecked in Transformers movies too, nobody seemed to care. Superman cartoon had him getting thrown through buildings every Saturday morning. "The incredibly lovely Transformers movies were just as bad" isn't a solid foundation on which to build an argument that Man of Steel wasn't a toilet made of turds. Also, both Avengers movies had the heroes doing heroic poo poo to save lives. Being Of PURE GOOD Superman straight up murdered thousands of people while alcoholic Tony Stark and Being of PURE RAGE Hulk mitigated loss of human life and protected the people. Man of Steel is trash garbage and anyone that likes it is an edgy juggalo teen.

Sure, you can see deeply flawed men making terrible decisions that result in the deaths of thousands of people on C-Span every day. So our escapist comic book movies about good people doing good for a change is very bad. We need Superman dropping buildings on children. That's what real life is like. And comic books and high adventures and tales of wonder should accurately reflect that life is poo poo. What kind of rear end in a top hat thinks Superman shouldn't pulverize kids into liquid poo poo under 5 million tons of rubble? Babies that don't understand art (aka realism), that's who.

Please enjoy my new Punisher film where Frank Castle comes back from Iraq with PTSD and gunshots cause him to freak out and piss his pants and he spends the whole movie trying different combinations of meds and filling out VA benefits forms. It's more accurate than the cheesy comics and the brutal reality portrayed in his scene where he falls through the cracks in veteran care and overdoses on heroin, I feel, really captures the character of Frank Castle.

The Dark Knight theme is a steady "brrrrrrrrrrrrr" sound and the Man of Steel theme is a cat slowly sneaking up on a mouse on a piano. And the Avengers didn't have any music at all now that you mention it. Or did it? I also can't remember the X-Men theme and I've seen all of them several times. But drat did the soundtracks for Guardians, Watchmen, Deadpool, and Tom Jane Punisher own.

But, gosh darn it, all that matters is if you have fun playing the game while your fans boo you off the field.

They had to make a lot of sacrifices to get a non-actress who mumbles her lines and doesn't fit the character, okay? Sacrifices. This $300,000,000 movie didn't have the luxury of hiring a casting director, okay?

Definitely the highlight of any Superman movie is when a woman has a jar of pee on her desk and Superman can see that something very bad is about to happen and then he stands there and lets the bomb explode and amidst the swirling ashes of a hundred dead people he just looks bored and inconvenienced, but meanwhile people outside are cheering for him because he continues to not help anyone but himself in his one man war against decency and humanity. Also, mad props to MARTHA Kent for teaching him "gently caress humans, you don't owe them bitches poo poo" [cue heroic music as a little girl is beheaded by a skyscraper Superman threw at her puppy]

The best thing that could happen to this franchise is if they hire someone to play Superman in the next movie, and when Cavill's Murderman emerges from the coffin, it turns out he's Bizarro and the REAL Superman, who saves humans and isn't a giant loving megalomaniacal spree killing sociopath, has been exploring the ruins of Krypton.

Not thinkpieces that read like it was written by the living embodiment of the word "Actually,". Have any of you seen someone personally seeming like they had a good time and want to share their joy?

a happy snowman posted:I heard it had one of the biggest second-week drop-offs ever seen for a superhero movie. Today begins BvS' second weekend. If everyone stays home or goes to see something else we may be blessed with a Justice League film with no Zack Snyder and a Superman that doesn't murder people for shits and giggles. And the king of weekend dropoffs for comic movies will probably always be Ang Lee's Hulk, at -69.7% Fant4stic was -68.2% X3 was -66.9%

"It's impossible to write a character that is unquestionably good and heroic" declares incredibly dumb motherfucker who has never heard of Professor Xavier, Spiderman, Superman, or Captain America. "People want hosed up daddy issues, dream sequences, no superhero action for the first 90 minutes, and a love interest that makes no sense because the lead is a total loving dick who just hurts people" the Dawn of Justice fan added, furiously beating off to Ang Lee's Hulk.

Otisburg posted:triggered af by all this shade being thrown on the Donner Superman flicks. Not only are the Donner films good as hell, but the completely awful Canon films are still delightfully cheesy and I defy anyone to have a bad time watching them. Also, DC / WB has the BEST animated film library in the world. The animated Batman and Superman movies are loving fantastic. I guarantee you if you took the animation staff and let them write/produce the live action film with a director that's not a Randroid this movie would have pulled at least a 95% RT score. Unfortunately WB sees this: Batman/Returns: A director who truly loves what he's doing working with an amazing cast to produce a product of love with a DARK tone Batman Forever/and Robin: studio hack making by the numbers cheap garbage with a light tone Green Lantern: studio hack making by the numbers cheap garbage with a light tone Dark Knight trilogy: A director who truly loves what he's doing working with an amazing cast to produce a product of love with a DARK tone So when it came time to make Superman / BvS / Justice League, WB decided "what we need to do is hire a studio hack that will make by the numbers cheap garbage with a DARK tone" because they missed the point by a trillion miles.

I like that Metropolis and Gotham are basically Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri. And like 40 square blocks of Gotham is uninhabited like those weird empty pre-fab Chinese cities. It was definitely a good decision to do that and wasn't horribly stupid for the sake of the dumb plot.
