For a second I thought the list was fine because it didn't even register with me that Rises could exist on a best of list. And even thought Rises was pretty good!

I'm sorry guys.
bravo!
It's supposed to make money. I wonder if it makes enough if DC will just say "fuck it, pull back the budget a bit, but keep slingin' em out there."
What happens if Wonder Woman is terrible?
I definitely think the 90 percent AA cast was requested by him. Could be wrong tho but I can see him giving Feige a laundry list of stuff he wants. Some leeway here and there but not completely.
Didn't know BP was the first movie where Feige has outright control away from Perlmutter. I can see this being a "test" internally with Marvel to see if he can lead the ship and still give wiggle room for Movies and Directors. In that case Coogler might really have so pull on things here.

That's exactly what they're going to do if this does as well as I think it will

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Continue making films as long as they make money.
In the same time frame from Man of Steel to now, Marvel had put out Iron Man and four other films. What happens after Justice League will be interesting.
Dignity is supposed to kick in at some point when you're fumbling prized IPs, especially relative to the competition.

Dignity gets tossed aside if they make more money
I just read through three pages of lists...
And not one... NOT ONE... person mentioned The Crow. C'mon, guys...
When DC tries to "go dark and gritty", I just tend to laugh, because even at their darkest and grittiest, they haven't come close to being as dark or as well done as this film.
Talk from experience, EH?

Lol at the Angry Joe review of Suicide Squad. His fellows cant even say something negative about the movie... Joe just unleash the fanboy inside him. He even said the Plot is amazing. According to him, his review >>>>> 100+ RT critics..... Oh and, Go and support the movie. I loved some characters in the movie, a lot more than i expected... but this is not a 8/10 movie Joe.

Can you cut out the scenes from the movie?

It's not. Doctor Strange is the first. (For reference, the Feige/Perlmutter split was nearly a year ago in late August, just after principal photography on Civil War wrapped; production on Doctor Strange didn't begin until November.)

Blade 2 is superior.

Nah. Watch World's End, it's on point. Certainly better than the Nolan Batman's.

I have a soft spot for Blade 2 but all I remember nowadays is how me and my friends used to make fun of this awful 'cool wall jump' he makes near the beginning when fighting some vamps. It's just so lame
I'm sure there's a gif out there. It's almost Arrow Flip tier

I saw this movie about a year ago after finally listening to some recomendations.
What an overrated piece of shit movie full of horrible characters.
Absolutely.
Having rewatched it quite recently with the wife, I think that - barring a few effects - it holds up shockingly well. It's atmospheric as hell, relentlessly bleak and legitimately mature, and where other films of the same tone or genre were so try-hard, Brandon Lee is just effortless in a role that requires him to be both charming and caring and also vengeful and terrifying as hell.
It's got great supporting cast (underrated Ernie Hudson), a god-tier soundtrack, still remains a visual masterpiece, and has some of the most memorable and legitimately loathsome and well-done villains in the medium.
... Feel like I'm hijacking the thread, but comparing it to something like Suicide Squad, I actually think Suicide Squad is going to date itself pretty quickly (particularly Leto's Joker), while there's something about the way The Crow is filmed and shot that gives it this otherworldly "timelessness" that Tim Burton's Gotham had as well that makes it seem almost like a modern fable or ghost story that can still resonate across the years. I think it holds up better than almost any other "hero" film of that era.
I think it does. It passes my litmus test of costumed or masked vigilante with superpowers punishing evil-doers and saving the innocent.

World's End would've been great if it didn't fucking drop the worst goddamn ending I've seen in years on you

That's why it's called the Cornetto Trilogy.
You're not supposed to like all three flavours, just two of them.

What's funny is that The Crow is one of my favorite movies of all time (obviously), but I don't really think of it as a comic movie. I don't know why that is, to be honest. I'd actually rank it above almost all of them, but personally I guess it's transcended the label of "comic movie" for me.

I know the film's bad but give it a chance.
Well done.
Okay, that's pretty good.

For people that have seen it, is it really bad? Or just bad but entertaining. Put it this way is better than BvS? I am probably going to see it alone tonight but I dont want to go to the movies alone for the first time in my life if it is really horrible.
About the same level as BvS UC. It's a fun popcorn flick but nothing more.
!Whoa...

It's not awful but I didn't find it very entertaining either. The second half really drags and the action is pretty lame for an action movie

Alright I will see it. I was not a huge fan of BvS but this seems more light hearted. Also it was filmed near my work in Toronto so I can do some sight seeing.

People need to stop making up narratives about Marvel being control freaks because Edgar Wright spent 10 years writing a script then left. Thor 2 and Ant-Man are the exceptions, not the rule.
