Sounds like the same people who thought Captain America 2 or 3, whatever movie - was film noir.

That was it. Like, Marvel movies are fine - they are just there, nothing special, nothing earth shattering - but goddamn, as usual popculture weirdos gotta elevate this candy to god tier levels .Same thing happened with games. GAMES ARE ART movement. Marvel movies have yet to reach that level.

you sure they haven't already? I recall ads for Infinity War claiming it to be "a cinematic icon for this generation" or something to that effect. You know, up there with the likes of Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Titanic jesus just remembering those ads is making me real bummed for my generation  if you want a cinematic experience the likes of Titanic then go and watch Alita: Battle Angel, a movie where the title character has more genuine personality than the majority of the MCU distilled into one.A movie that uses actual fight choreography and has full-cgi characters that look like they should be walking the streets right now in 2019.

RBA Starblade posted:How dare people like this film. In all sincerity, something that turned my radar dish is “remains exciting because it’s always changing” amongst the talk of drastic tonal changes. On paper that sounds like an achievement, but history has shown that it’s usually indicative of a patchwork script. Obviously we won’t know until we see it, but that reads like a bit of spin.

Makes you wonder why DC/WB couldn't bribe critics to give them good early screening reactions like Marvel/Disney does. I guess only having... (looks it up)... $13 billion in revenue really hamstrung them on that front.Aces High posted:you sure they haven't already?

I mean people were selling absolute schlock as THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME for as long as movies have been made, it doesn't mean people took it seriously back then, either.

Black Panther is better than any second from Bohemian Rhapsody. Which may be the worst movie made in 2018. I’m not sure. I do love hating on it though, because it invites it. There isn’t a single honest thing in the film besides the music.

Film reviewers at this point are just banking on internet discourse. I saw a tweet from a film critic laughing at the fact that Bruce's 1% line in Batman v Superman made it into the film because of how absurd it is and people responding to it by saying that it has real world parallels. They don't know or care.

Since when is Titanic a cinematic experience? Everybody considered it a joke when it was released. As for Alita it has a terrible title, a boring trailer and a main character that weirds people out, if people don’t see it you can blame the people in charge.

I’m obsessed with the movie. I keep getting videos from it from YouTube recs due to Me trying to compare Malek to Mercury while watching it and every time I watch another scene again I just start laughing and getting more and more baffled. It should be the next Room but it won’t be.

Yes you'd get people poking fun at the corniness of the romance but the scale and spectacle of the back half of the movie when the boat starts going down was very impressive at the time.

It had looooong legs, that Celine Dion song was burned into everyone’s brain, and the VHS release was enormous. And it was the highest grossing film of all time until Avatar was released, so uhhh yeah that’s a pretty good joke if I ever heard one.

There was a few things fibbed in Bohemian Rhapsody but overall it's a decent movie. I am a huge Queen fan who feels that despite their success they are underrated since people only know the hits. The early stuff was very Zeppelin'esque with themes of fantasy and the early sounds of heavy metal. I despise We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHC85XWII7E Anyways, Malek was fine as Freddie and his performances stand out. He really did capture the live energy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XqPBEODZ4s

Yeah, Bohemian Rhapsody is a completely by the numbers music biopic (it's Walk Hard but taken completely seriously), but for that it's perfectly fine (and the music takes it to pretty good, but you're going to need to enjoy Queen for that to help), and Rami was great in it. The only reason I can see to have a true hatred for it is if you were hoping for something better. But it's a music biopic, you really shouldn't have been hoping for something better. It ended up being better than the garbage fire I was expecting when I originally heard they were making it.
