Harsh Times , Street Kings , Sabotage are hack material. Fury is a schlocky war movie.
End of Watch is enjoyable.
We are talking about David Ayer right ?
WIll it be PG-13, this is important.
Yeah but is it Swood?

Man of Steel wasn't dark and gritty. Realistic, grounded? Sure
Dark and gritty? Did you see The Crow? Read Punisher Max?
Sometimes I feel like "dark and gritty" gets thrown out reflexively. It certainly doesnt describe Man of Steel
Age of Ultron was awesome though.
Marvel made Daredevil pretty damn gritty. Agents of Sheild is also fairly gritty.
Their current cast for the Avengers doesn't lend itself well to dark and grit. Iron Man, Cap, Thor, etc are serious characters but easy to translate humor with.
How Vision was handled in AoU though, you might like.
Characters like Punisher, Blade, Silver Surfer and Wolverine lend themselves to more gritty or darker stories.
Problem is, Marvel doesn't own a lot of their more dark characters like Wolverine.

Yeah, Daredevil is really fucking good. And I enjoyed Avengers a lot this weekend. Batman's always going to be my favorite, though.

Probably being escorted to meet Waller?
that I believe that Scott Derrickson was hired? yeah I do, it's probably written in some contract
am I pissed and worried about the whole Edgar Wrigth thing and the possibility of them going with a very specific tone that spans through all the movies and grows tiresome? you betcha
but Dr.Strange is a very different, very new thing, and Feige has talked about having a horror guy behind it being the way to go, and I liked what he's done enough to still feel good about it
we'll see, but this sudden idea that I'd be dumb to believe big Marvel suit guy on a thread about fuckin Suicide Squad and somehow be excited about different big suit guy movie is hilarious
if im gonna be that cynic about it then I wouldn't get excited about anything
guess what everyone wants money and to play it safe
You went there, oh shit.
Man of Steel wasn't even as good as Superman Returns.
There, I said it.
I like both if I'm honest. They're both different ish takes on Superman and I'm cool with that.
The rubble would suggest to me that it's the aftermath of a large setpiece. The only thing keeping me from saying that it's near the ending is the fact that El Diablo and Slipknot are still alive.
And holy crap at the DC/Marvel bickering. It's the same repeat offenders over and over again.
Let's not get crazy now
It's literally the comic book movie version of Transformers.

a dmc2 gif befits you, returns is garbage butter
I think I can get people enjoying Man of Steel, I certainly don't, and I think it's a fucking horrendous film, but I guess I get how someone might think it's good?
what's hard for me, and hey, opinions, is understanding how someone who really loves Superman loves that film, beyond watching him on a big screen
that movie does not get Superman at all. That's what worries me about this whole Snyder bidness
but hey this is Suicide Squad which seems to be a WB show on the big screen and people enjoy those

100% accurate
We can't just be tossing terrible opinions around (on both sides)
And we really should just have a Marvel/DC dick-measuring thread so everyone can get their comments out of their system!
And I know set-pics from one scene, but seems like SS will be 2 hours of everyone walking the streets of Toronto

I'm from the UK and I've never heard it used in that context.
I think the guy was a great choice by Marvel, because there is nothing about Sinister that suggests he's an auteur who'd cross Marvel. He's shown me nothing that suggests a classic, or good, film, but he's going to play ball and make the film they want him to make.
Killer Croc is in there somewhere but you might not see him cause apparently fuckin Will Smith is the same height or taller and bigger than KILLER CROC

Don't to derail this any more, but damn the hyperbole is incredible
Back on topic, so Slipknot's "skill" is tying ropes and knots? That's it?
well if we're gonna discuss the innards of the business as if we had any idea what truly goes on with these films then let's speculate to this silly level, sure
this is some kojima/konami levels of people figuring out companies based on very little info / track record and just pure fandom
truth is we wouldnt even have this movie if it wasnt for Kevin Feige and I decide to give the studio some leverage still. we'll see how Dr. Strange turns out
edit: to clarify; im not targeting you specifically with the comment, just saying we can all be really cynic and go the "they just wanna make toys no one gives a shit" route and ultimately it'd be true to any of these films
Making shitloads of money and laughing at your opinion?
EDIT: TWS wasn't dark and gritty at all, and it's still better than most of what DC's put out to date.
This is an odd one, but to me it wasn't a "Superman movie"
It was the story of how this man decided that he wants to become a superhero and ultimately becomes Superman.
It doesn't "get" Superman because he really isn't Superman until the end of the film. It's an origin story done after they put on the costume.
How does he establish that he wants to help people... what causes him to not kill... what forces him to use his powers at certain times... those are questions... to me anyhow that I feel the movie left at and will be (fingers crossed) addressed in BvS when he should be Superman

There, I said it.
I don't really like either but Returns was blech.
They both have their pros and cons. Superman Returns has a more entertaining villain with Spacey's Luthor (Zod is boring). Man of Steel proves that live action DBZ can work (i consider that a pro).
Isn't the RT score for Returns noticeably higher than MoS?
but remember just another day at the office with clark and buds! /last scene
Opinions I suppose, I never did like real estate Luthor.
I find it funny how people complained about no action with Superman Returns but too much action with Man of Steel, there's no winning.
It's still chilly in New York, much less say Toronto.
Karen Fukuhara looks so short next to Jai Courtney.
I'm honestly not a big fan of real estate Luthor either, but Spacey played him way better than Hackman did. Superman TAS Luthor is best Luthor.

I didn't like Street Kings at all and I'm not even sure what Sabotage is (don't hurt me). He may be faulted for delving into corrupt police antics more than he should. The well can run dry on LA "cop life" and maybe that's what the Sabotage movie is about too. Harsh Times is similar in concept to Training Day and yet shows the corrupted and troubled cop in a different manner. End of Watch put a new spin on what he likes to do and the story does many different things. I haven't seen Fury yet, but from what I remember seeing it looks very much like it's aiming for a classic 60's Hollywood war film look.
