I enjoy when superhero movies treat their subjects as things outside of the normal. Snyder’s movies certainly capture that vibe.

That image of Superman floating in the sky all straight was a beam raises the hairs on the back of my neck. It's such an arresting image. Zod does it for a brief moment in MoS.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:That weird period of 2013 - 2017 where clusters of critics just went off the deep end (and I don't necessarily mean about Snyder, they would kook out over all kinds of stuff). Remember when Film Crit Hulk was a thing? I feel like a big part of that can be credited to Twitter and the increasingly obvious insecurity of 'critics' who are just failchildren whose parents weren't rich enough to get them better sinecures.

McCloud posted:That arc is basically tradition for Snyder films. Dawn, 300, SP, Watchmen, BvS, even MoS to an extent, all got nerds outraged because they went in with preconceived ideas l This is largely the state of film discourse and criticism on the Internet nowadays, and it genuinely bothers me. Somewhere along the way it went from "I didn't like this movie, and here are some reasons why" to "This movie sucks balls because it isn't the movie I made up in my head and expected to see." People don't engage with the work anymore, they measure the work against their own theorycrafting, and if the movie deviates from the fanfiction they conjured up, then it's the worst thing since the Holocaust and the director fired the reviewer's dog out of a cannon and maimed their grandma with a meat tenderizer. The intensity of this seems to get amplified by ten when it comes to genre material (which is why we're still re-litigating The Motherfucking Last Jedi four years later), and it gives me a headache.

It's because of how hype and marketing works now people are given so much material and info about a flick ahead of time I think it's normal if one can't help but project their own version of the movie a couple of months before the movie's even out.

Yeah like you say, certain genres and certain brands in particular are more sensitive to this than others. Like comic books are famously narrow-minded and resistant to change, which is why we still have Barry loving Allen as the Flash and characters never ever stay dead. Star Wars is almost as bad too. Basically any brand that has a large male nerd following

I watched Jupiter Ascending because it was mentioned so often in this thread. I uh...that was certainly a lot of nonsense. But I suppose you have to appreciate going all in on a YA version of Dune (crossed with Harry Potter, hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, twilight, Star Wars etc). I’m still wondering on what service I’m going to be seeing Justice League in the UK. NowTV maybe?

Stuff like low poly "glass" deforming and shattering under Barry's speed-touch, no shoesplosion, etc God drat I love that Flash scene.. stuff like him gently using the barest tips of his fingers to adjust her position and then kind of using her momentum-arc to cradle her and place her down. Just amazing use of speed-conscious physicality.

"Make your own future / Make your own past" Reminder that this guy's dad is Doctor Manhattan. With The Comedian and Miles Dyson, Snyder's dad-casting is pretty good.

Robot Style posted:"Make your own future / Make your own past" Last night I rewatched Man of Steel and BvS with a friend who had never seen it before and we were talking about how stacked the MoS cast is. Getting Harry Lennix, Christopher Meloni, Richard Schiff and Michael Kelly in smaller supporting roles really helps open the world up.

Rewatched BvS extended with my bro last night who had never seen it (he had questions and was like, how do you know all this? you dont read comics! - and i was like, i discuss it and read it ever day lol). He generally enjoyed it but did comment that while it was really loving long it didn't feel like it, moved by really fast. I explained him to the sorta battle online over the Snydercut then showed him some stuff from Josstice League and he was like, HOLY poo poo this looks terrible. He could see the Cavill CG face immediately and hated the rooftop intro scene. Also something popped out on me - the man in the wheelchair who defaces the statue and blows up congress is none other than Scoot McNairy who was loving INCREDIBLE in Narcos Mexico S2. E: OH poo poo, he was in Frank too! Love that movie. Vintersorg fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Mar 7, 2021 |
