The presentation of the scenes of Silas' recorded talk to Cyborg and the way Cyborg crushes the tape right as Silas says he's now going to speak to him as a father early on and then reassembles it to get the rest of the message at the end and how Cyborg's story and Silas' speech and his explanation to the league about how the mother boxes work and the way that paralleled the rest of the league forming (and how we get like an evil version of it from Lex in one of the epilogues) was loving awesome. After what a nothing character Cyborg was in the poo poo version of this movie from a few years earlier it was crazy to see how much he was the dramatic heart of the movie.

Grendels Dad posted:Yeah, the genius move was to take Eisenberg and put him in the Luthor role, not to invent that kind of image for Eisenberg. Many people at the time thought Snyder intended (and failed, naturally) to ape the Joker. Yeah the genius of it is how hyper competent Luthor is overall (and how physically imposing he can be also even without his power armor stuff) in other recent media vs. how if the Snyder movies were "what if this poo poo happened in the real world and stuff actually mattered" then it's taken to the correct reality that guys like Luthor are closer to Eisenberg's portrayal or Edward Norton in Glass Onion and such. I liked that painting of the late Luthor Senior being the movie also, you know in like two seconds that like there's a dozen Luthor senior donated wings in several hospitals and he has a library named after him and has some visionary captain of industry enlightened business god reputation despite being just as much of an irredeemable sack of poo poo.

Schwarzwald posted:Nowadays comic book super heroes are thought of as their own distinct thing but it is useful not to forget that they're a straight progression of pulp stories, penny dreadfuls, and such. Yeah Batman especially the early comics with like Dr. Death and stuff were a strong mix of crime story pulp with gothic horror pulp and that interplay of old and new was part of the appeal. A lot of those early Batman and Spectre stories were extremely similar to already existing pulp and horror stories that you'd read or hear on the radio about supernatural killers that have to be tracked down or whatever paranormal stuff is going on. But all the superheroes back then took from this stuff pretty readily. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Jun 10, 2023 |

I mean he has some lines and some screen time but so much of this movie is all CG it's insane how bad it all is.

teagone posted:When The Flash drops onto VOD, I'm going to host a discord stream to showcase the proverbial nail in the coffin for WB's (not Snyder's) DCEU vision so that we can all laugh at how stupid the whole thing is. You seriously have no idea how true this is. This movie is abominable imo. And I was prepared ahead of time for the hosed up cameos of huge megaspoilers I guess George Reeves and Christopher Reeve but I wasn't prepared for the even more insulting pointlessness of them. Like if that's the case then why even include them other than to be ghoulish. Like it starts out laughably stupid and then it keeps, like, getting worse and worse, by the halfway point it feels like it's been two hours which is bad for a movie called The Flash lol Also there's at least one character who's likeness they put in without even informing the actor, what the gently caress is that poo poo?

Aipsh posted:I remember yonks ago seeing the first trailer for Man of Steel in the cinema. It gave the impression the film was centred entirely on a young Clarke, dreaming of flying and helping in small scale disasters like a good old Boy Scout. It looked deeply, deeply boring. Especially given the previous superman film was superman returns, in which the climatic action scene was Brandon lifting a rock for three minutes. I remember this really well because when that trailer dropped me and a lot of other people everywhere were suddenly like wtf this looks metal as hell hell yes lol because it also had the brief part of Clark's vision of drowning in skulls and stuff.

I know I'm on the tail end of this conversation and it's already in the rear view butt I have to say there's no need to dump on someone's post like this. Robot Style posted:It's a domino effect of cutting down Cyborg's role. If Cyborg doesn't have any of his family/backstory scenes, then there's no reason to give him the scene inside the motherboxes. If there's no motherbox scene, then there's no reason to power him up. If he's not going to be powered up, then there's no reason for Flash to be doing laps around the city to build the charge, and they have to give him something else to do. I really was stunned at how central to the movie's themes Flash and Cyborg's characters were in Snyder's movie, it made me hate Joss Whedon even more than I already did lol Also I don't know if it was intentional but I appreciated the extra struggle to break up the boxes compared to how in the first battle Zeus just like struts up to it and pulls them apart. Like the literal, actual gods are basically cheating levels of power even compared to the current Justice League. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Jun 25, 2023 |

well why not posted:I'm pretty sure Hemsworth is fully on-board with Taikia's slant. Yeah IIRC Hemsworth is more for the comedic approach. I mean he's got genuine good timing with that stuff when it's done well (i.e., NOT most of Thor Ragnarok) but I get it. Maybe he can get Snyder to direct commercial/presentation for his fitness app or something. EDIT: Nothing against the app I never tried it myself, supposedly it's a really good selection of stuff.

Snowman_McK posted:There's honestly probably a PHD's worth of material in our collective reaction to Man of Steel. The anticipation before it (finally, he punches things!) then the immediate reaction (I saw a lot of people who recited the take that it didn't work because he was too concerned with 'realism' a take they'd recycled from the Nolan films) and then the absolute brain melt insular takes where people hated an entirely different movie to the one that came out. I can't remember another film that produced such weird takes, that broke people's brains to the same extent. I get not liking films, but people got this filter or search/replace function in their mind when it came to Man of Steel. You know the stuff, things about how Superman doesn't save anyone or the 'maybe' scene. I remember especially the years long clarion call after Superman Returns of WE JUST WANT TO SEE SUPERMAN PUNCH A ROBOT REALLY REALLY HARD and holy poo poo does Man of Steel deliver on that with the world engine scene. Also I like how it puts him in the middle of a tornado esque thing like his dad but he makes that final choice of humanity over Krypton after him super perceiving Perry White and that other guy staying to help Jenny out of the wreckage.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I forget the main orc guy but he was a case study in "a stock character with enough extra trappings to keep my interest." And the movie just kills his rear end dead for no real reason! The movie coming up in this thread made me watch it for the first time yesterday, what a shitpile. But I agree, for most of the runtime I was thinking it would be better if instead of it being Warcraft 1 ORCS VS. HUMANS it was just a movie about all the orc stuff because that was a way better executed story. I agree Someone mentioned that Travis Fimmel is miscast but I think he's just going above and beyond every other human actor in it. There's a lot of points where the actors are trapped just sitting or standing facing each other spouting exposition but he's the only one that really gets into it body language-wise. You can tell they were trying to actively avoid it or something too because there's a ton of talking head kind of shots where you can tell he and whoever he's acting across are communicating with each other much more naturally because of how they're moving but the shots are so close up like the camera was actively fighting against the performances. Basically his character was the only one that came off as kind of genuine when everyone else was a video game cutscene incarnate. From what I read Duncan Jones' cut of the movie was 40 minutes longer but I don't think 40 minutes more of what we experienced would make for a better movie unless it's like an Alien 3 style every individual scene was more fleshed out kind of thing AND there's more story and not just a large amount of deleted scenes. The CG generally is really is good across the board and holds up well to me. Also I gotta say, like, ALL the comedy attempts fell completely flat, like dang.

Xealot posted:That was part of the issue, too, though: every human character, including the king and the Saruman-ish traitor, read as under 40, recently groomed, and fairly-to-extremely attractive. It felt like cosplayers doing a fan film. The CG orcs worked because they were the only part with any texture or gravitas at all. For real, a Diablo (even just a Diablo 1!) movie or miniseries could whip rear end but there's no way Hollywood would allow that. We need more fantasy horror in general. A no-nonsense hard R rated Dredd or The Raid-esque fantasy movie where you get 30 minutes of solid build up of small stuff and setting the stage with a very small cast followed by 70 minutes of violent asskicking to the bottom of the dungeon+revelations about The Dark Lord would rule.

GoldStandardConure posted:Diablo 1 and it would need to be low dialogue, minimalist movie (but still violent as gently caress), otherwise it will get bogged down in the Diablo 2 onwards bullshit of Decard Cain saying 'horadric' nine times in a single sentence. Yeah like I always loved Conan the Barbarian but the more fantasy movies I see the more and more I seriously respect it for its pacing and having entire scenes that have no dialogue at all. For real someone give Panos Cosmatos $100,000,000 and a longplay of Diablo 1 and let him go to town.
