Nah, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 is legitimately one of the best superhero movies ever made and I would rather rewatch that over watching most new superhero movies any day.

Every subsequent Spider-Man movie has failed to live up to that one. Homecoming was a nice surprise but I'd never claim that it was anywhere near as good as Spider-Man 2.

Spider-Man 3 is perversely entertaining as well. Like, it's not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it's hard not to sit back and revel in how loving stupid it is. At the very least, you can't accuse it of being boring.

There's one joke (the incongruent pairing of Henson puppets and R-rated raunch), and I have no idea how that can sustain an entire film.

Peter Jackson made Meet The Feebles back in 1989, and even then at just 90-odd minutes, it felt like the idea was stretched to breaking point.

Yeah, he has both a Furiosa script and a straight Fury Road sequel script written, but both projects are tied up in legal hell: Miller and his production company sued Warner, saying that they were due a substantial cash bonus for turning in the movie on-time and under budget; WB counter-sued and said that not only did Miller go vastly over-budget, but his contract said he was to make a PG-13 movie that ran for no longer than 100 minutes.

Last I read, both lawsuits are still in the discovery phase and there's no immediate resolution on the horizon.

Isn't Jackson pretty much responsible for dismantling NZ film unions at this point tho?

Yep. He and Richard Taylor lied about any actual threats of strikes towards The Hobbit (it never really was under any threat), and continue to do so, despite evidence stating otherwise being publicly revealed, which led to the then right-wing government changing the law to destabilise unions in the entertainment industry, and reclassifying "employees" as "independent contractors," which vastly stripped away their employment rights and union access to that field. The newly elected centre-left government is currently in the process of dismantling what is colloquially known as the Hobbit Law.

He did a WWI installation at the national museum in Wellington recently, where it was pretty much "Peter Jackson presents Peter Jackson's World Peter Jackson War Peter Jackson I Experience Peter Jackson" and it loving tanked.

I think I'd be puzzled if people were having that argument based on a trailer that didn't have any racial slurs in it. What actually happens in the movie that people have an issue with? I don't know much about the plot and the trailer doesn't give much away.

In the comics the air force is usually part of her back story, mostly as a means to an ends (she wants to be an astronaut). When I was reading the comics she was more a experimental test pilot (so far, so green lantern) and I don't think she flew combat missions, but that might be different in the movie. This is part of a cinematic universe where at least one one of the following applies to most of the lead characters: cop, spy, soldier, billionaire, hereditory nobility.... so sure, guillotine the lot of them. Just not really seeing what people are finding particulary problematic about this trailer, especially given the existing universe it's part of.

It's nice to see DC trying, at least.

What's been frustrating with the DCEU is that almost each movie has something that works, something that shows that there is potential, but it's squandered just as quickly.

Man of Steel seemed to understand the idea of Superman being a symbolic ideal for people, something to aspire to, but that he'd be tortured by having the weight of the world on his shoulders, up until he basically started destroying everything. That's one area where I felt that Superman Returns, for all it faults, got the character better. Superman should be trying to save as many people as he can instead of breaking every bit of infrastructure he lays his eyes on while having an EPIC SUPER FIGHT against Zod.

Batman vs. Superman had a great opening, where it shows you EXACTLY WHY Batman would have a problem with Superman - he's dangerous, he's reckless, and fails to take into account the little people, and regardless of his intentions, good or otherwise, he's simply too dangerous if unchecked. I also actually liked that bit where Batman steals that chunk of Kryptonite off of Lex Luthor off-screen, because while it would have been cool, it's also neat to see the aftermath of a place where the goddamn Bat-Man happened.

I was enjoying Wonder Woman up until the Dragon Ball Z fight at the end, which just really made me disengage with the film entirely.

Justice League had its moments, like Flash being completely out of his depth and Aquaman being a total dudebro, but it was just an overlong slog.


Suicide Squad can go loving die, for all I care though. What an irredeemable piece of trash.

Has Orion been around recently? I don't think I've seen that logo outside of an old dvd for years.

MGM bought out what was left of Orion in 1997, and revived it as a subsidiary in 2014. and have been distributing low-budget kids' films, independent films and European stuff, like co-productions with the BFI.

I had a look at their films, and yeah, other than the aforementioned The Belko Experiment, I haven't heard of anything else they've done either.

Commando for the modern era. I recommend them to any action fans.

Wick's basically the Lance Armstrong of killing. Then some punk steals his car and kills dog.

Naturally, he kills everyone involved.

Also the dog is an adorable little sweetheart, so even if it weren't a gift from his dead wife, it's entirely believable that he'd go absolutely berserk going after the people responsible.

And one of my favourite things about the villain in the second one was just how insufferable he was. Like when Wick catches up to him in the restaurant at the Continental, he's sitting there, loving LOUDLY CHEWING WITH HIS MOUTH OPEN WHILE MAKING THAT GROSS SMACKING SOUND LIKE AN ABSOLUTE oval office, and when Ian McShane's character tells Wick to put his gun away, he just smugly goes "yeah, put it away" like a snivelling little gently caress. It's actually been a while since I'd seen a villain that just made me think "oh, you absolute penis!" whenever he appeared on screen, so hats off to that actor.

Crank is a fun but mildly forgettable mid-2000s flick that doesn't overstay its welcome. Crank 2 is action cinema as art. It should be played on loop in an art gallery somewhere.
