its so different it might as well be a completely different movie but im not really sure how you get bad unless youre just upset that it depicts a generally sympathetic character doing war crimes for no reason and realizing this makes him a terrible person

im too young for this but the first half was a huge boomer/xer meme for like 30 years so i assume lots of dumbasses watch it and get mad when the drill sergeant dies

The second half is way better unless you are just there to fetishize the military and boot camp. Both halves are essential though, everything is mirrored throughout.

Probably my favorite movie, once took acid and watched it three times in a row. Good time

I always liked how batshit BvS was. I watched the extended version pretty recently and it's even more insane.

It does totally collapse at the end though, up until they force batman and superman to fight its a genuinely political superhero film about how the American empire reacts to the threat of human liberation

And one where Jimmy olsen is executed for being a spook and the cia just watch via drone and its immediately revealed theyr evil and working with a pmc

Jimmy Olsen dies?? lmao wth lol

I thought Army of the Dead was pretty good. Snyder should have hired a DP though, it didn't look half as good as Dawn of the Dead outside of the big panoramic shots

Everything Ive heard makes it sound like he wanted to make a Dead Rising 2 movie but Capcom would give them the rights.


Which fits with Jurassic World 2 seeming like they wanted to make a Dino Crisis movie but Capcom also wouldn't give them the rights

snyder's stuff is usually less than the sum of its parts (e.g. bvs dragged down by the terrible doomsday finale) but he's an honest to god visual director which apparently is out of fashion so that people can watch movies by just listening to dialogue while looking at their phone

for some reason the fact he treats mythic characters as mythic characters drives people nuts.
a bunch of villagers singing to aquaman while one cradles his cast off shirt like it's the shroud of turin - that small scene is more memorable than dozens of beige disney approved inoffensive to everyone porri dge

Nothing Zack Snyder does with the DC is even close to aa good as the DCAU did with these same characters 20 years ago and doesn't have edgy bullshit weighing ît down

I mean if netflix wants to actually use the IPs that konami is sitting on for games then let them do it.

I think it would be more profitable to just sub contract it to an established company though.

Yeah, but that's true with everything DC Comics has done in the past 20 years as well. Nothing that Zach Snyder did could top what Geoff Johns and Dan Didio already did.

Like, when the CW does a better job with your properties that you do, then you might have a quality control issue.

This is also true. And HBO Max is apparently bringing back BTAS and goddamn I know they're going to gently caress ît up.


Also why is there no STAS Blu-Ray collection like with BTAS and Batman Beyond? World's Finest is one of the best Batman & Superman stories ever told and it has Joker & Harley, and more importantly Clancy Brown

Yes sorry I should have been clearer. Just alot of the discussion around that has been centered on it being a like a revival. Which Bruce was in charge if their animation over the last couple if years where they've made some of these dogshit movies. I did kind of like the Gotham by Gaslight movie that came out. So I don't know, I remain weary of it. But that Harley cartoon is supposed to be good so what do I know

master and commander is frequently mocked for featuring the British as heroes, but were the napoleonic french much better? we're talking about a government that actively battled against the Haitian revolution after all. I hate to be the "both sides" guy but it's hard to see the French adversaries in master and commander as the real heroes of the story
