I feel like if I say I ain't surprised it'll make me come off as a hater or Marvel fanboy, or some stupid shit, but I'm not surprised.


I hoped it would be better.
 
Almost every movie ever made is luckluster compared to the original Dawn of the Dead.

The Snyder remake is one of the better remakes ever IMO.
Indeed.
The foundation of the movie was there, but it missed alot to move the category of really great horror movies.

Agree with that 100% but I still liked it.

It wasn't a bad movie that's for sure, but there was so much missing.
Which is a bit sad when you take the huge budget into account.

Make up artists where really doing a wonderful job though.
 
He totally doesn't , though.

300 was great.
Man of Steel was great
Dawn of the Dead was great.
Sucker Punch was great.

Zach Snyder is alright. I like highbrow films too!

Opinions and that, but I've yet to enjoy a film he's directed. To be fair, I haven't seen Snyder's version of Dawn of the Dead, which many feel is his best work.
 
I feel my wings have broken in your hands
I feel the words unspoken inside
And, they pull you under
And, I will give you anything you want, oh
You are all I wanted
All my dreams are fallen down
Crawlin' around and around and around

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through it
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it, just stay, stay
C'mon, I've been waiting for you

I see the world has folded in your heart
I feel the waves crash down inside
And, they pull me under
I would give you anything you want, oh
You are all I wanted
All my dreams have fallen down
Crawlin' around and around and around...

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through it
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it, just stay, stay
C'mon, I've been waiting for you

All my dreams are on the ground
Crawlin' around and around and around...

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it just stay (stay with me)

I made this whole world shine for you
Just stay, stay
C'mon, I'm still waiting for you

Calm down Slayven, they cancelled the Cyborg movie.
 
41%.... we fallin

It really is. If you wiped it from existence it would have no bearing on anything in that universe. Nothing of importance happened.

I think they know it

they put an indie new zealand filmmaker to helm the third

something like what DC should do now. Throw a fuckin left
 
but how much money did those make, thats what actually matters for DC

im not defending anything, I like some of his movies and I dont others, but its just a fact
Watchmen, Sucker Punch and Legend of the Guardian underperformed
Dawn of the Dead was a small hit

300 was the only box office sucess in Snyder career
 
If we're talking Watchmen opinions, I thought it was a classic and one of the greatest films of all time.

It's in my Top 20 movies of all time and number 3 on my Top 5 comic book movies of all time. It's sheer excellence and it makes me sad the same guy directed Man of Steel.
 
Hang on, if Batman
is a killer
, why is the Joker just hanging out in Arkham instead of the alternative? (Besides being around to do Suicide Squad things, of course.)

Likely Joker went to prison prior to Zod arriving on Earth, about two years before the events of BvS. Movie makes it clear Batman goes down a dark path after that.
 
I'm fucking burned out on this super hero stuff. I was excited for this. Now I'm not. Not excited for Civil War. Maybe that'll change.

Hollywood has no new ideas.

Slav has officially lost it.
 
So does this mean Affleck is a shoo-in for winning another Razzie Award for next year's show?

If not necessarily for worst (supporting) actor, I'm sure the Razzie committee will make the next show's special award theme will definitely be made with BvS in mind. "Razzie Award For Actor Who Needs To Stay Away From A Specific Genre" or something.

Affleck seems to have gotten a respectable critical reception. Snyder and his writers being up for Razzies wouldn't be surprising, though, given that the storytelling is mostly what's getting ripped to shreds.

If anyone gets a Razzie worst supporting actor nod it might be Jesse Eisenberg, since a lot of critics are calling his performance a Zuckerberg retread or just overdone.
 
I can see how the movie would turn reviewers off, but it is only going to make suicide squad look better. I trusted Snyder to deliver and personally, he did, it was a fun movie and did everything I wanted, so I'm not disappointed in the slightest. I'm pretty sure this is the end of Snyder directing though, probably be officially dropped after JL.
 
... I actually prefer Thor 2 to the first one. It has a weird sci-fi visual tinge to it that I really enjoyed. Villain was shit though.

I like the first Thor's intent, but it needed to flesh some stuff out. Second movie, Thor seemed to completely forget his development from the first one.
 
I'm fucking burned out on this super hero stuff. I was excited for this. Now I'm not. Not excited for Civil War. Maybe that'll change.

Hollywood has no new ideas.
Yes it does, new films come out all the time, you're just not watching them.

Oscars nominees, for instance, save for Fury Road were all great ideas.
 
I refuse to believe that movie existed. I could give anybody a quiz on that film a hour after seeing it, I'm sure most will fail. Cinematic vapor.
Thor 2 was actually a funny movie
I remember most of cinema laughing on a lot of scenes
But yeah, I don't remember a single thing about the story or any of the jokes
 
The last trailer and Affleck's recent activities gave me a glimmer of hope, but it looks like my initial skepticism is going to win out. I'll wait for streaming.
 
It introduced the red infinity stone, which is kind of important.

I mean, if that's all you can say about the movie "they introduced a stone"

That could have been done anywhere. There's nothing important within the context of the character, his development (lol) or anything. I'm talking about the fact that it's called Thor and nothing really specific to Thor is interesting or adds anything. The Infinity Stone is a maguffin.
 
The system isn't broken as much as I just don't align in tastes with this hypothetical average critic on many things.

Yeah, that's usually how I feel about it. Usually means I like movies that most consider bad, or they end up being cult classics.

I've never seen a Marvel movie in the theater, I just wait until they're on Netflix/Amazon Prime/Red Box. Even them, I haven't seen Thor 2 or Age of Ultron yet. I liked Ant Man though. I probably enjoy the Captain America movies the most out of Marvel's MCU.
 
Not even surprised. MoS was really bad and this looks like so much shit thrown together it can't possibly be coherent.
 
It really is. If you wiped it from existence it would have no bearing on anything in that universe. Nothing of importance happened.



You haven't seen it :p

I guess I meant the reception. But I haven't liked any other Snyder film so chances are I ain't going to like this one.
