mr.capps posted:I agree, the first film kinda felt like nothing but fluff. This one seems like it actually has something to tell. The first half of the first film was mostly great, but the wrap-up was basically "and then he punched all the bad guys." Which might still have been cool if they had made Red Skull an actual nazi wearing a spooky mask with nazi henchmen instead of a failed super-soldier with generic sci-fi henchmen armed with dumb sci-fi weapons.

Is there no "out" in the contract with Fox? You'd think Marvel would have been smarter than to effectively sign over the movie rights to their biggest franchise (at the time) in perpetuity.

Mr. Maltose posted:And of course it's Jivjov. It's also got tone issues, since Ed Norton was like "let's make this a proper movie" and the studio was like "no dude we're doing this cross-brand experiment thing, so we have to make this kid-friendly" and then they cut out a bunch of the darker scenes. Also Hulk looked like hot garbage in that movie, with that swampy, wrinkly skin and weird muscle structure inappropriately based on Bruce Lee's. I get that they were desperately trying to avoid the complaint everyone had about Ang Lee's Hulk where it was crystal clear that Hulk was CGI at all times, but at least Ang Lee's Hulk didn't make me want to barf when I looked directly at him.

The Clark in those movies is exactly who Clark Kent was for a vast majority of his publication history, especially when those movies came out. Even radio Clark Kent would basically be like "Hold on, I'll go get the cops!" at people who were drowning right in front of him.

The Question IRL posted:Then The Dark Knight Rises opens, Batman has immediately retired after the events of the last film. He's been gone for years and the net result is.... You're missing a lot of points about Rises. Namely, that this peace is just a false calm before a storm, and was bought by Batman's war on crime and by sketchy legislation that stripped criminal suspects of their rights. Bane breaking the dam is almost comeuppance for the city's arrogance. And in the end, Batman does need to return, and even when Bruce retires because he's earned it and being Batman has cost him too much, we see there will always be a Batman.

I don't understand why everyone posts that as evidence that the movie will be great. It's just something from the original movie and cartoon put in there for fanservice.

I just don't know what people have against that movie, it was fine. Certainly better than loving Batman and Robin.

The most interesting thing about Lost Boys to me is that it feels like two completely different movies smashed together. There's plenty of scenes where it wants to be some Anne Rice type of dark psychological metaphorical story about vampirism and alienation and sexuality and the transition from adolescence to adulthood, and then the other half of the movie is like loving monster squad, with little kids using comic book knowledge to hunt vampires and solve mysteries the adults can't figure out, complete with dumb comedy sequences. I've rarely seen a movie with a more inconsistent tone.

Not that I really care about the X-men movie continuity or Cyclops as a character all that much, but it'd be cool if they used this time travel fuckery to undo his ridiculous death from the third movie. That poo poo was like if Avengers 2 opened with Cap falling down a flight of stairs and dying. And then no one talked about Cap at all for the rest of the film.

Speaking of casting crazy people, I never realized that the generic Jerk Businessman in Batman Begins was played by Rutger loving Hauer until I rewatched the first 2 films before going to see Rises in theaters. What an odd casting choice, but it totally works.

I don't even know where to begin addressing this but I'll just point out that you're essentially saying a bunch of non-professional movie critics are blind idiots because they disagree with you about a dumb superhero movie.
