Nosferatu Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 The only super hero movies I like are Watchmen, The Dark Knight trilogy and the first Kick-Ass. X-men is solid, nothing special. Deadpool is decent IMO but it's getting way too much hype, to the point it's overrated. Definitely not boring and terrible though like I find about most super hero stuff. I used to love super hero movies back in the early 2000s when I was like 7-11 years old. By the time the first Iron Man came out, I was already bored of them. I'd think to myself "man, there are way too many super hero movies nowadays and it's boring the hell out of me". That was in like 2007-2008. Fast forward 10 years later, I barely watch new films outside of like 2 or 4 a year because all that's ever released now are damn super hero movies. Saw Deadpool 2 last week and the 3 trailers they showed before. All shitty super hero ones. I just rolled my eyes and shook my head. Of course, it's a marvel film but I didn't know they would only advertise their own crap. Reminded me of Tom with his AVA love shirt. Advertising the hell out of it. As for Michael Bay movies, the only ones I find watchable are the Bad Boys movies. But i like early Will Smith movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was like "OMG, so amazing, so cool". I was just ahead of the curve. I was kind of ahead of the curve with Feldmann too, lets be honest everyone, when Neighborhoods came out is was like 70% loved it and only about 30% saw what Feldmann had done to this band. Oh the fights "he didn't write the music" blah blah blah. Now everyone except Ghent and Jarjar finally figured it out. Holy fuck!! You read the insert?!?! Straight genius right here folks... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knapppers Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 The first Transformers was fun when it came out and thats about it. Granted it came out when I was in high school and i grew up with the shows and the toys so maybe thats why i enjoyed it. Cant stand them now though. Michael Bay made some damn good movies in the 90s. Such a shame. Pain and Game is a newer movie of his that I liked though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no actual hardcore comic book fan is thinking the movies are amazing. They are not for nerds anymore, they're for the brain dead masses that like pretty CGI and nothing else. Guardians Of The Galaxy movies are good though. as was Deadpool. the rest can GTFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've missed the plot here in your weird twisting attempt at an insult. It took quite a bit of putting pieces together and it started with that. When you see his name on every song its like "hmmmmmm, I wonder how much influence he had". Then you start seeing themes in songs that Blink has never done, like "Whooooaaaa" every minute and totally in out of place spots. We know Matt didn't do that..... Then we find out the original album was scrapped. Then just look up John Feldmann............it just snowballed from there really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I watched the first transformers for free and I still wanted my money back. I luckily had friends who ran a movie theater and we watched it the night it showed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 For me, there is nothing worse than like 20 minutes of plotless action that goes on and on with shit blowing up, people fighting and CGI crap. It's just bad movie making. If you look at 1989 Batman; the climax where Batman and the Joker fight, it amounts to a few punches and tossing him off a ledge. That is FAAARRRR more effective than any of that other bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that because a lady I work with has been toting her love for comic book movies lately. She brags on how she can just show up, "turn off her brain," and not have to worry about following plot details Quite pathetic really 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just bad movie making. I can't stand it. Does nothing for me unless the action is intertwined with something in the plot I care about. I watched Wonder Woman a few weeks ago. Actually started off pretty good. They were on the island, greek mythology stuff going on, felt like it was going to be something different. Nope, turned right into another stale movie with doofy villains and cheap action sequences 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First female super hero movie and the film revolves around her loving some random dude. couldn't give a crap, let her just be a bad ass for chrissakes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 also Halle Berry is a wee bit overrated, anyone else? I will admit she's grown on me a bit but I could never dig the short cut...she's hot just not as jaw dropping as was always made out to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like superhero movies usually, but Wonder Woman did nothing for me. I wouldn't even say it's the best movie in DC's garbage "cinematic universe." The high praise it received was really strange to me. I heard nothing but good things about the movie, so when I saw it I kept waiting for "the part where it gets good." Uh, nah. Standard boring superhero movie. The "final battle" felt like the end boss in a shitty video game. I agree though, the beginning was the best part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
