Goon stream was amazing. I loved everything about this movie; the look, the characters, the action design, the crazy rear end genre bending concepts lol. Snyder is a madman. Loved the cast, especially Dieter's screaming, but Bautista especially surprised me. Like drat, I mentioned this during the stream, but it's hard to imagine any other muscular leading man playing Scott like he did. Try and put The Rock in that role, lmao. This was by far and away the best action feature Netflix has produced imo.Shageletic posted:why is this movie so long. why is it so boring. why does it feel like everyone is stuck in the BLURRY ZONE

Shageletic posted:So can you tell me what was good about this movie because I'm stumped For me, on a technical level, I like the interesting stuff Snyder was doing with the camera work and lighting. Can understand if someone would be out off by the depth-of-field effect he was toying with, but it played to my personal aesthetic tastes really well; a lot of the scenes were very dreamy/fanstasy-esque. Pretty cool contrast to what your typical zombie blockbuster might look like. Thought there was real solid character work and comedic beats spread across the entire cast. The film might not harbor the greatest ensemble, but I loved the archetypes present—especially Ward, and The Coyote. Good action design imo, but that's a given with Snyder. Good soundtrack; loved the Wagner drops. Good production design and costuming. Thought the zombies looked great. Loved the genre mashups and all the callbacks to other films. Dunno what else you want to hear. I thought the film was super enjoyable

The idea of dumping The Rock (or Cena, lol) into the role of Scott is hilarious imo. It's easy to picture because of how infinitely worse the performance would be compared to what Bautista brought to the table. I'm saying this as someone who never cared about anything Bautista has done in the acting space. This is the movie that sold me on him.

Wolfsheim posted:I genuinely don't see how, but not because he's bad in it so much as there's not really much to do with that character so it felt pretty perfunctory? I felt Bautista had some good facial acting in the more intimate scenes; there's a fair bit of nuance injected that does a really great job selling emotions like grief, with range that I don't think a lot other wrestler-turned-actors could have done without making the performance feel unnatural.

Alhazred posted:It's not really a funny or insightful joke? It comes across as Snyder just used the song because it had the word zombie in the chorus. I disagree because there have been a couple examples explaining the headspace Snyder was in wrt choosing the song, even from Snyder himself. You can freely argue "death to the author" or whatever, but I'll 100% always disagree with the assessment that Snyder chose the song for no apparent reason/fell rear end-backwards into choosing it because he's too stupid to understand the context of the song—one good, genuine look at his body of work completely suggests the opposite.

Shageletic posted:Theres no character in this movie as fun as Hudson or the black sergeant or as rootable as Ripley or Newt. I thought Dieter and Van were both super fun and likeable. I was rooting for Scott, even though I ultimately knew what his fate would be  quote:Hell they only gave the Vasquez character one good scene before acing her inexplicably. Chambers is an homage to the character, not a replica. quote:And there's no cathartic third act action scenes like Ripley in the mech suit. This is fair I guess. Would have owned if Bautista found an experimental armored exosuit and uses it to fight Zeus lol. quote:This.movie wishes it was Aliens. I don't think this movie wishes it was anything imo. It has so many genre-bending components that it clearly wants to do its own wacky thing.

Captain Marvel has feminist themes that are dumped on by its pro-military messaging. I guess that's pretty edgy.

Common sense also suggests the alphas are smart enough to know how to leave, but choose not to. So......

Detective No. 27 posted:If they were trying to escape, Coyote would have been the character to say so. Even Jurassic Park has a line about the raptors nipping at the electric fences, testing for weaknesses. There's none of that in AoTD. Instead, we see Zeus look up at the Zeus statue by Olympus in reverence. He's home. I mentioned it earlier, but yeah, Coyote straight up calls Vegas their Kingdom lol. Inferring that Zeus and his alphas want to leave their kingdom is just, I dunno, stupid? Not sure how else to describe.

Growing your commune and wanting to leave it are two separate ideas. Vegas is big, and Zeus has a pretty solid deal there (unbeknownst to him he's about to get nuked because America).

Nothing in the film suggests Zeus wants to preserve or is concerned with the wellbeing of shamblers. His priority seems to lie solely with his pack of alphas.
