As a big X-Men dork growing up, I've wanted the Phoenix saga turned into a movie for so long. I was practically doing cartwheels during the end of X2. Then X3 came out and sucked balls and now this looks like it's going to be worse. Anyways, tl;dr, DREDD is the only good cape flick.

Dredd is fantastic. I saw into the spiderverse last night and it was good too I also liked the first two Nolan Batman movies. Ledger's joker is memorable as gently caress. I think that's about all for me. Guardians of the Galaxy wasn't bad. Idk a lot of them are fun but just basically popcorn flicks I forget about a day later. Which is fine.

Without the batshit Savage Land, family tree from the future and also space, alternate reality clones, interplanetary/interdimensional episodic mania, X-Men are just an angsty bunch of whiners. Stop having Jean or Cyclops or whoever the gently caress "finally gain confidence in their powers" and have them get kidnapped by Mojo instead of the U.S. government. Again. Or fight one of their many friends/frenemies. Again. Introduce some villains that are actually fun.

Big Beef City posted:I always hear that these movies do well, or well enough. They make most of their money overseas, especially places like China, which is a huge market for superhero movies. I made the mistake of watching Thor: Ragnarok one day and it felt really generic and boring to me. Yet it grossed over $850M worldwide, so maybe I don't know what's good.

That's true for very bad garbage like X-Men movies that are propped up by the foreign take and don't do nearly as well domestically, but Thor Ragnarok made over $300 million in the US alone so this is a very dumb post. Black Panther made like $700 million domestically and Avengers: Infinity War made close to that too. I'm not even a big Marvel fan and I can tell this is wrong. Also Thor Ragnarok owned hard and was, by far, the most enjoyable Marvel movie in recent memory. It's like the most 80s rock over-the-top take on the Thor concept. Most of the film doesn't even take place in a traditional Marvel setting and it's hilarious. Tessa Thompson's amazing too.

Ragnarok was a quality movie in general, not just as a comic book movie, and it's telling that the nerds that get their panties up in a twist over it are the ones that think Taika Waititi ruined the Thor series with "unnecessary" comedy. The best parts of the original Thor* came from any moment that wasn't played straight po-faced *Thor 2 does not count as having "best parts" as I've seen it twice and barely remember poo poo about it

I liked Ragnarok but mostly for Cate Blanchett who felt like she was in a different movie. Ragnarok was weird tonally. Needed more Blanchett's comedic timing being ace imo

But most of the time it was overly serious and lame and really didn't work with the concept. Thor is all about this absurd techno-futuristic Norse society of the gods and the movies should be taking a huge piss out of that... not taking it in a generic direction like Thor is just saving the world in a boring way with boring bad guys like every other Marvel hero. I really hope Taika Watiti is allowed to direct or consult heavily on every Thor movie going forward, or honestly just direct more silly superhero stuff period because I love his style.

Thor has one of the silliest general superhero concepts anyway. Like he's a norse god, whose also an alien, who's also a superhero? Its just too dumb to play straight even if you've got all these fancy expensive effects to add legitimacy or whatever.

If Thor barging into The Hulk's hilariously dumb bachelor pad asking for answers on what's going on with the gladiator society of a junk planet while being bossed around by a Norse warrior cop isn't "good", then I don't really give a poo poo.

X-Men Apocalypse made less than its production budget domestically (it made like $150 million vs. a budget of like $180 million) and nowhere close to Thor Ragnarok, which brought in far more than its production costs domestically. That's the definition of "propped up". Also like I said, none of the non-Marvel Studios superhero stuff touches or will ever touch Black Panther or an Avengers film, so it's not even worth talking about in the same realm of popularity. The only movies that beat out Black Panther are Avatar (barely) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Infinity War is right behind that. People talked about Titanic's box office take never getting surpassed back in the day and Marvel does that yearly. Cough Drop The Beat fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Mar 3, 2019 |

I made the mistake of watching Thor: Ragnarok one day and it felt really generic and boring to me. Yet it grossed over $850M worldwide, so maybe I don't know what's good. People will go see whatever is mass advertised and box office sales don't really mean poo poo all imo. Lots of fantastic movies did poo poo at the box office and were only recognized later and whatnot. Citizen Kane is widely considered to be one of the best films ever made and it didn't even break even. The only thing that tells me really is that a lot of people in China are becoming able to afford to go to the movies and thus there is a huge expanding market there. I didn't even finish Ragnarok, I turned it off and started doing something else sometime during the end battle stuff. The action sequences aren't even that cool because it's just CG video game poo poo idk. I prefer Sean Connery smacking fools around in a 007 movie if I want an action fix and I say that as a 28 year old. There's no loving actual acting involved really and every movie inches closer to just 3d action figure fights. And frankly DBZ or Dragonball Super has more engaging/meaningful fight scenes. Better choreographed too. It's felt generic and boring because it is generic and boring. Meant for a global audience and as widely appealing as possible. Designed by committee and expunged of any artistic merit or message just to be a spectacle. Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 11:06 on Mar 3, 2019 |

Venom was completely average as a movie but I have a massive crush on Tom Hardy and it was nice just watching him get to act all crazy and jump in fishtanks and pour frozen hashbrowns all over his face and yell at his imaginary friend. All alien symbiote fighting stuff was secondary.
