So Kung Fu Panda 3 comes out at the end of the month. I bet Star Wars will still gross more that weekend than Kung Fu Panda.

KFP1 and 2 were really good, but I've yet to see a trailer for 3 that doesn't make it look like leftovers and rejects of ideas from the first two.

Doomsday is what comes in the 3rd act of the script, so if Snyder is saying that's all the first 2/3 of the movie they've gone and added a 4th act.

It's all about pacing, not the runtime. The Dark Knight was 2h32m and felt probably more like 1h45m even though it was exhausting as hell.

There's a difference in "consciously avoiding mass civilian death" and "making a mockery of your entire plot". Man of Steel was the former. Ultron went for the latter.

Modern oppressors gotta learn to drape their fascism with bright colors and humor, then they can get away with it.


I saw TDK at midnight and I regretted it, not just because of all the weirdos dressed as joker but because after the hospital part and the boat part weren't the end, I was getting tired and the Two-Face finale felt too much like LotR3's "is this ever gonna end?" I was kind of sour about it after first viewing because I loved 2/3 of it then felt like they tacked 1/3 of a different movie on the end. I like it more now, but I'd definitely classify it as a bit too long for my taste.

Well there is that problem where they had to open like loving 3am and then 7am showings. I can't imagine those 3am'ers had any fun at all.

Eventually, of course, they saw reason and started shifted those 'midnight' showings forward to 7pm.

Yes, having your characters get beaten up and hurt does humanize them, but saying someone maybe a compelling protagonist because they get beat up 1000 times more than Indiana Jones is something that I consider qualifiable for the silly zone.

The strider battle was awesome and it felt goooooood blowing them to bits.

You already did that a lot in, say, Anticitizen One. The Magnusson was utterly underwhelming as a gimmick and the other component of the fight was driving a vehicle to run over the hunters that accompany the striders, and HL2 vehicles are basically the worst.

Like, if they reduced the overall number of striders, didn't have the car, didn't simply spawn the striders in single groups 1 at a time, had some more enemy variety, that last level would have been a lot more satisfying.

Of course not, just keep in mind that they would have chosen the perfect scene to elicit that response amongst comicbook ubernerds who know who Steppenwolf is and what motherboxes are, and that the rest of the deleted scenes may or may not be as awesome as what the showed us.

It was basically a teaser trailer for the directors cut. Whether you want to put a lot of faith in teaser trailers or not is up to you.

And on its own it doesn't really improve the theatrical cut. We already knew Lex's been into some really bad poo poo based on the painting and his freakout in jail.
