I am not a big comic book fan, but I never understood this one:

Batman: Normal dude who is just super rich, pretty smart, and works out a lot.

Superman: Is an alien that can fly, lift up a truck, immune to bullets, can fire lasers from his eyes

How can batman ever win?

Laser eye is such a dumbass design. Why would an alien specie evolve such a specific feature?

If Superman's eyes can kill, his jizz would have killed Lois Lane many times over. I hope Superman experiment his penis on a cheap whore first.

News flash Batman has always sucked and somehow Chris Nolan made 3 good movies about him and also Rises.

It was one decent movie, one great movie which was really a Joker movie, one crap. Nolan managed to make Marion Cotillard pull off the worse performance of her career. Nolan is an asexual nerd.

Let me get this straight, Batman is basically Vegeta because he is a loving super warrior alien from a dead planet; Wonder Woman is basically Android 18 because she is stronger warrior from earth. That leaves Batman as Kuririn because he is human and he suck at fighting; Alfred is Bulma, he is a sexy tech wizard in this iteration and has to keep inventing poo poo to keep Batman alive.

So who is Goku?

I'm laughing at people waiting for an extended cut of BvS that will somehow fix things. A ruthless editor with that extra footage a a goal of a running time of no more than 105 minutes MIGHT be able to wizard a satisfying film from that garbage heap. Adding more poo poo is just making the problem worse.

They would have to overdub Lex name to Joker too.

It probably can work if it's a Batman movie with Superman getting as little screen time as Wonder Woman.

Y'know what this interpretation actually makes the film better. It's a blistering pastiche of DC's primary archetypes. The only beings able to stand on par with Superman are rich and powerful. Lex Luthor even makes him kneel. In the end, God kills himself and leaves the world to men and super women to inherit. In order to save the world, you must have material wealth.

Well Ant-Man sucking is entirely Perlmutter's fault, since he made every effort to making sure Edgar Wright, a Good Director And Writer And Funny Guy, didn't get the film of his favorite Marvel character made, leaving Competent But Not Funny Director Adam McKay to helm the project

Avengers 2 pretty much fell victim to Bridge Episode Syndrome, i.e. it had to incorporate the events of 1 while setting up the events for Civil War and 3. Props to Whedon for pulling it off even adequately.

Ant Man is still better than The World's End so Edgar Wright can suck it.

Superman and batman are the worst superheroes there i said it. A lot of people rightfully acknowledge superman is poo poo but batman is really bad too. Dark knight fuckin sucked btw.

I watched Batman Begins again last week. I was reminded of why I didn't care for it. Putting the evil ninjas on top of the Tibetan village was very distracting. I wish they had invented some made up costumes for the setting.

Tom Cruise's wife had some good lines, particularly the scene when she slapped him, but she couldn't pull it off. Nolan can't direct actress worth a drat.

I don't know anything about Wonder Woman besides this movie and google image. I still think she is a worse design than Superman. I think Zack Snyder intentionally cast a flat chested woman to make WWr more "contemporary", except he cast a supermodel who can't speak English.

Having a bunch of overpowered and very boring superheroes is why DC can't make decent comic book movie except Batman.

Lex read the script. That explains why he bombed congress and knew Superman wouldn't stop it, it's why he knew Superman wouldn't use his super powers to defeat 6 inept guards, and how he knew his monster wouldn't destroy the planet.

This also explains why he knew he was the villain and forewent any motivation and just showed up to make villainy happen so they could hurriedly get to the next setpiece.

One of the main causes of WWI was that the German Kaiser became too ambitious and wanted to build up the navy to contest with British empire's oversea colonial markets.

Rapid raising of a regional superpower is the most unstable state in geopolitics, usually it results in major warfare and reestablishment of new world order.

Since I'm actually not all that versed in film history, it blew my mind a few years ago when someone said (probably a RLM review) that back in the 70s and 80s people thought Spielberg was ruining films. I'd like to get a time machine and bring those people to today.

I think the highest grossing blockbusters starting in the 80s has been spending increasingly more emphasis on special effect, and it's getting to the point that the "tentpole" movies are nothing but special effects, that can pass censor in China. People want to find someone to blame and they just point to the highest grossing directors in the late 70s and 80s.


And the special effect transitioned from analog to (worse) digital special effect in the last 40 years. You can definitely blame Lucas for it.

The usual approach to adapting Millar comics is to turn them into something almost entirely different. The guy's entire creative output is try-hard edgy takes on popular comic concepts, then they get adapted into movies by making them less edgy and more like the things they were based on. I don't know why they bother though, because sanding the edge off something that has nothing to it but edge results in movies that have almost nothing to do with the comics they are supposedly adaptations of.

Since you read Mark Millar comic. Are the anal joke and the church scene the only two things the movie kept from the Kingsman comic?
