Man of Steel is one of the worst movies I've seen in the cinema, don't know how it having a few decent action scenes makes it somehow not complete shit.

Except its action scenes aren't decent. There's no build up, no tension, no release, no cohesion, no rhythm, no smart choreography.
The greatest sin of any action scene is not making me care why it's happening.
You people must've hit your head at some point and gotten amnesia.
There's lot of good shit in MoS as well as a lot of bad shit.
What if you don't consider the endless fight scenes and explosions "good" though?
That gif does nothing for me.

This death was hilarious
Yeah it's one of the few films I've really regretted seeing in the cinema. Complete waste of money. I knew it'd be shit from the reviews yet I still went, more fool me I guess.

Then I'd ask why are you watching a fucking superhero movie :lol

I think this scene is the one which completely soured the movie for most people. Why the fuck did you sacrifice yourself for a dog, Papa Kent -_-

massive props to snyder for making papa kent such an unlikeable and stupid person
I don't understand how Snyder gets these gigs. Especially after Sucker Punch which was a genuine travesty of a film.
Great cast, didn't take itself too seriously, dynamite soundtrack, some really funny parts, and now James Gunn is the director of an 800m dollar movie.
Saw MoS in cinema and thought it was ok-ish aside from the mind numbingly over done actions scenes which gave me a migraine. Oh and the dialogue being GCSE level bad. Cavill was alright.
but saw it recently on DVD recently and its real bad
Giving any big property to Snyder is comedy though. Bloke makes films with the depth of a thimble. More interested in dress up and things going boom.
over and over and over and over and over again
then again
then once more
then one for luck

studio executives most be powerless to the blue and silver look of all his films. Snyder is a hack. Sucker Punch is one of the worst films of all time, I'm sure MoS is crap, and his Dead movie sucks too. Anyone could of directed that movie. He somehow gets credit for adapting 300 and Watchmen word for word onto the big screen. He should be directing music videos yet he has fooled hollywood into thinking he is some great director.
jts
...hate me...
I have a friend who says it is the best movie he ever saw. He says it 50/50 serious/tongue in cheek.
Never saw it myself.
But Watchmen was half decent, I'll tell you that.
I found it very mediocre. Didn't see what the fuss was about.

Exactly, they love directors who can plan and make effects movies on budget and on time. They'll make enough back on investment that they don't care that much about the final quality of the movie. The marketing budget will take care of the rest.
It was fun. Made me chuckle a few times. Nothing fantastic mind.
Like Avengers 2. Dunnae how i'm meant to be slightly interested in that
gee i wonder if these characters who have massive separate franchises and are on huge contracts will be in any sort of peril. ooo but there might be some teases for some other franchises
Just not for me I guess. Different strokes innit
Speaking of films to look forward too watched Kill List earlier and oh BABY am I excited for High Rise this year. Ben Wheatley is the fucking man.

Did you only just watch Kill List? Goddamn Linny.
Right, guys like Snyder aren't artists, but they sure as hell know how to manage a large scale production, which is a valuable quality in the eyes of execs. The public doesn't care, but it does matter.
no no no about me third rewatch
Now rewatching Field In England
what a time
I think you could give Superman, X-Men, Spiderman, etc to any director and the film will make money. the big name comic films are gonna sell themselves. Bret Ratner directed X-3. I don't think you can get a someone with less vision then him and it made a ton of movie.
Why no Batman & Gotham in Arrow-verse? Free, pls. :<
Fucking hilarious and fucking stupid, that was.

Not the point. It's about having the skills to put out a big special effects fest on time and within the budget provided, rather than being able to craft a good film. Also why Michael Bay is popular with studios. Transformers Age of Extinction was one of the worst movies released last year and was also the highest grossing. Studios know your movie doesn't have to be good to make a profit, just shiny and produced within budget.
Although I just saw you mentioned Brett Ratner who is the epitome of being the studio friendly director.

Some sort of stupid rights issue they have. like they want their TV and Film universes to be completely separate, which allows them to choose certain Batman characters and names, but not Batman/Gotham themselves.
I hope that makes sense :lol
Edit: Actually, they mentioned Bludhaven which is where Nightwing hangs out... lol

I haven't even got work tomorrow and I have to be up in less than seven hours to go to a mandatory staff meeting fuck this
Haven't seen Boyhood. Dunno when John Wick is out.
please tell me what you thought of all those films
Yeah, that too. I remember an interview with him where he says as long as you can follow it and get the gist then it doesn't need to be perfect.

:lol it was so painfully stupid. Hurt my brain thinking about it.
How did Luc Besson get from Leon to Lucy =(
I saw it in the cinema and I kind of liked it because it's only like 90 minutes. I don't mind a movie being incredibly stupid if it's also really short. The guy from Old boy was pretty good too.

I dont mind a bit of stupidity in an action film (hell, many of Arnie's action roles are some of my favourites, what a legend), but dear lord this took the cake :lol
