implying spaghetti westerns and chinatown rampages featuring jackie chan aren't horrendous movies

but who am i to judge, i don't like superhero movies. i love war movies with anti-heroes, but not the obligatory 'war is heck' shit stuffed into it like a thanksgiving turkey

The Matrix when you look at it through the lenses of the time period before it was overdone

what about the dark knight movies

Nothing special. Had no strong feelings about it, but it wasn't gutter trash.

Watchmen was still a bit shit tho since it wasn’t only Doctor Manhattan who had superpowers

Superhero movies aren’t the top tier of cinema but they aren’t just some useless trash either, some of the recent marvel ventures have been really good

No, Doctor Manhattan was the only one who could manipulate/transform atomic particles/composition etc.


Much rather rewatch 'The Good the Bad, and the Ugly' for the 5th time than watch any Superhero movie.

from an entertainment stand point, it's kinda good. Bane has good presence and some killer lines

However from a standpoint of theme, it's eh. The main premise of the movie is the ''corruption'' and upending of Gotham City, but we've already established clearly in Dark Knight that the citizens of Gotham aren't easily swayed (i.e., the boat scene where they were forced to blow up the boats and both the boats of normal people and prisoners refused to pull the trigger on eachother), completely invalidating one of the key points of Knight

The ''twist'' villain was also not foreshadowed at all, leading to some fucking Disney tier ''IT WAS ME ALL ALONG'' from a character with not a lot of screen time until that point

it just felt off in many places, in ways that Begins and Knight didn't, I don't know how to describe it. It's definitely the weakest of the trilogy imo

what i mean is that in the original watchmen, dr manhattan was the only one with anything close to super powers. in the movie most of the main characters show off some kind of super strength abilities and appear to be above most other people for no other reason than 'super powers'. the movie also focus' in more on action which, while cool action, pulls from the message of the flick

It had a cool intro though

it's all cool, i respect your view, i enjoyed it mostly because i watched it to be entertained, as is what i do with every movie because im a dullard when it comes to criticizing them

that's real fair

i still enjoyed it myself, but like i said, definitely the weakest of the three

 

[Knight]

what's y'all's favorite movie(s)?

Favorite movie of all time is Children of Men hands down

Some of my others include:

• Shaun of the Dead
• District 9
• Mad Max Fury Road (and the Road Warrior)

Idk why people judge Superhero movies as anything other than two hours of pure fun where you go in to sit down and take time off.

It isn't super deep storytelling but you also aren't some movie connoisseur by shitting on them.

what's y'all's favorite movie(s)?

Franchise wise for me is absolutely the Jurassic Park series. They were what I grew up with and some of my earliest exposure to film came through them.

Other than that? Varies. I enjoy everything from 1930's black and white movies up through Itallian 70's gore flicks from Fulci.

what's y'all's favorite movie(s)?

ooooh boy

For me its gotta be 2010's Sumarine by that afro comedy guy Richard Ayoade. It's for me a personal favorite as it's what really sparked my interest in film and changed me from a somewhat casual watcher to someone who wants to be apart of the craft. The reason I love the movie is because the way that it made me personally that wasn't designed in. What I mean is in some movies they design scenes and character arches to make you feel sad, happy etc. A good example is something like Shawshank Redemption where if you don't cry at the Brook's release scene you are a heartless bastard. Submarine made me feel something deeply personal and moving and I loved it. I loved that something someone else made had this effect on me.

Beyond that I love some Dancer In The Dark, last 40 minutes of that movie had me in tears.

 

[Knight]

Mad Max 2 the Road Warrior was a textbook example of how to make a good action movie

Fury Road is also a great example of making a good female leading character. The visuals and fights were very fun to watch as well.

loved them all as a kid, the first one is still worth another watch even though i've seen it a million times by now

 

[Isuckatgaming]

I don't think I could pick a favorite movie actually, mostly because I consider Lord of the Rings the peak of humanity's achievements and I don't wanna rank the movies in the trilogy : (

But if I had to choose, it'd likely be Return of the King.

 

[cns - he/him/his]

blue ruin or green room are my ideal action movies because the action feels so real
