I don't like Snyder but the way the whole production went for the J.L, I don't lay the entire failure at his door.
No. We can lay BvS at his door though. That wasn't much better.I don't like Snyder but the way the whole production went for the J.L, I don't lay the entire failure at his door.
That was garbage. My favorite movie of all the lot is still "Man of Steel" and it could have done with a more cheerful Clark KentNo. We can lay BvS at his door though. That wasn't much better.
Agreed. Just wish Pa Kent wasn't such an idiot. Rest of it was good.That was garbage. My favorite movie of all the lot is still "Man of Steel" and it could have done with a more cheerful Clark Kent
Brightburn should satisfy you!That was garbage. My favorite movie of all the lot is still "Man of Steel" and it could have done with a more cheerful Clark Kent
After catching Wonder Woman again and enjoying it felt like I should maybe give JL and BvS a once over again but feck was I wrong, Off the top of my head I can’t name a worse cluster feck of a film than JL, it’s just atrocious.
It’s going to be really intresting to see how they are going to try and rescue this.
Trying to remember now why Superman was even angry at Batman and how it was Batman’s fault?
Movies, sure.Snyder was shite. Ayer was shite. Warner Bros were generally shite. They killed DC for a while.
Though in some ways, Snyder was an ironically perfect choice for a certain breed of angry stunted fanboy stereotype. The kind who think The Dark Knight is good because it’s “dark”, and the Joker is cool, or that Rorschach is the hero of Watchman rather than a damning meta-indictment of his trope.Snyder was shite.

There is more to that story due to the paranoia created by darkseid but in JL Wonder Woman and Batman keep going on about how he better hope he isn’t the first thing superman sees blah blah blah but for the life of me and having just rewatched BvS I really can’t figure out why there would be a massive beef between them as it seemed over and done with after the Martha scene, which was again a steaming pile of turd.Was he angry ? Just seemed to be some stupid idea Bruce had that Superman needed to be stopped for no other reason than he was powerful
Other than odd people like me who think The Dark Knight is a film about the reaction of the political class to the 2008 financial crisis. Everyone else likes the film for the reasons you mentioned right. Most reviews I remember at the time where just long winded versions of “Jiminy jillickers!” Batman, why so serious""Though in some ways, Snyder was an ironically perfect choice for a certain breed of angry stunted fanboy stereotype.

It's good and well-liked film because it's sort of serious enough to seem like a film with some weight behind it, but not too serious so as to turn off mainstream audiences. It's got a great cast, an excellent villain, a strong conflict, a suitably dramatic and boom-laden Zimmer soundtrack, and it's well-directed by Nolan who knows how to make an interesting film while telling you all the themes exactly through dialogue, just for anyone who happened to miss them. Somehow it managed to get the serious/fun balance spot on though, which I think is the most important part. Any funnier and it'd have been too zany to be taken seriously. Any more miserable and it'd have been accused of being too up its own arse. I'm not a huge fan of the genre in general but it works very well as a film within that genre in its own right.Other than odd people like me who think The Dark Knight is a film about the reaction of the political class to the 2008 financial crisis.

Does anyone know why its actually good ?

But isn't this what the people Mockney is referring to are trying to say ? Ok it's a bit lazy to just say it's a good film because it's dark or gritty. Ideally they would point out as you did the weight behind the film and the strong conflict etc. But they are pretty spot about the film by saying wow pencil trick scene cool !It's good and well-liked film because it's sort of serious enough to seem like a film with some weight behind it, but not too serious so as to turn off mainstream audiences.

I think that's actually a really good idea. Not just because of the Community references but also because a Batman who isn't white could add some dynamics to this stale franchise.Danny Pudi should get the role.
I don't see Neil CustisFatman returns
He put in a good shift but I think he was too big a name for it. Wasn't a fan of the bumchin either. Tbf whoever followed Bale was destined to fail, and the Snyderverse didn't really help.As a Batman fan for 40 years, I'm glad for this.
I always felt he should have been DC's Kevin Feige rather than their RDJ. He's an Oscar winning writer (Good Will Hunting), an incredible director, and looks like Batman should look. He loves comics and knows this world. Unfortunately he got stuck with Zack Snyder.
I still would love to see his Batman v Deathstroke film.
Good shift? He didn't even get a solo film in the end. They ballsed up batman. Not his fault mind.He put in a good shift but I think he was too big a name for it. Wasn't a fan of the bumchin either. Tbf whoever followed Bale was destined to fail, and the Snyderverse didn't really help.
