    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    Antman was fun, but it suffered from a little too much "superhero format." It's very similar the first ironman, which if you're going to copy a movie, might as well be that one.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Can we not talk about the logistics of the prequels please? Very little about them makes sense

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    Pretty sure infinity war only counts as one. I could be wrong though, but I remember reading that it's being filmed as one movie in two parts so it doesn't affect the contracts

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Batman was the best part, WW was second best. She was great. Though, to be honest... Everything else about the movie was absolutely terrible, so that's not saying much

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    People point out the grenade thing all the time, but that's not really what happened. The dude was gonna throw the grenade at Batman and he knocked it out of his hand. It went into a room or hallway or whatever it was and the dude jumped after the grenade to throw it back. That was HIS choice...

    It would be nice if this was all just a slow burn ending with Roman going crazy. Staring into a mirror whispering to himself, "I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy... Why don't they love me?"

    Swiss Army Man (2016)

    This looks like some artsy people sat in a room getting REALLY high talking about how "it all means something"

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    Which is exactly his point. The studio had little faith in the product. They just gave Reynolds and co a deadline and left him alone. They were expecting a flop. But then they saw it close t to being finished and they went full bore with advertisement to try and help

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    It's not that public opinion of the movie is overwhelmingly negative... It's that is overwhelmingly "meh." Honestly, most of the word of mouth reviews I've heard have been along the lines of "I didn't hate it." That's not the kind of word of mouth you want from a tentpole movie like this.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    I don't really think it means anything other than he's am important character for Bruce, so he should stick out in our minds. Getting a notable actor for a small role will do that. However, to answer your other question, there is a recent comic arc called flashpoint, where the flash goes back...

    He Never Died - with Henry Rollins

    Honest question, when you say heavy handed, what do you mean? I only remember it taking up a few minutes of screen time. Cara had a wtf face and he just told her and that was it

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    i did read the article. that doesn't change the fact that reshoots happen all the time. sometimes reshoots last less than a week. sometimes a lot more. with THIS movie? the article says why they are doing reshoots. so that's kind of a moot point, now isn't it?

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    superman doesn't need to be campy. but he definitely needs to be much more stark contrast to batman. i mean, lex even says it, "Day vs Night." except they're both night. i was watching the redlettermedia review last night and they really pointed out how just... bitter superman is. they go...

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    reshoots happen all the time. could be something as simple as lighting or camera angles in a scene not working well. could also be because the tone is off in certain scenes. or because one scene is cut but is referenced in another scene so that needs to be changed. it's not always bad. sometimes...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    well, first off batman beat superman while he was wearing armor. he didn't have armor when doomsday was around. also, cue the old joke about batman having some 18 months to prepare to fight superman. doomsday just showed up. as silly as it would be for a live action batman, i was really hoping...

    J49: An Erotic Life

    that is exactly the purpose of methadone. honestly, though, most people OD after rehab or while they are trying to quit. i had a client who was using 10 bags of heroin a day for about 7 or 8 months. he was clean for about a month and had a pretty bad day at work. he didn't want to "get high,"...

    Fantastic Four

    yeah, it's a little unspecific as far as i'm aware though. the movie just needs to be in production from what i understand. it's a use it or lose it scenario. fox has lost a significant amount of revenue from the FF4 movies so they may just be done with the IP at this point.

    Yeah, Frank is a special kind of monster. He knows what he is. When given the opportunity to be captain America, he turned it down out of respect for what the shield stands for.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    nothing is wrong with that in the context of a story. everything is wrong with that in the context of real world society. there's a reason why capital punishment rarely happens anymore.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    exactly. if you are so concerned with doing an origin story for characters who have been embedded into pop culture for decades, it should be done by the time the opening credits are finished.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    I don't remember clooney, but kilmer definitely showed the origin. Also, casino royale rebooted the series, or at least showed bond earlier in his career. I'm not saying you can't differentiate between movies, I'm just saying that this would have been a PERFECT opportunity to not focus on the...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Yeah, I still don't buy it. We don't need a bond origin story every time the actor changes. If you put in an origin of any kind, there has to be resolution to that, but that means you have to tie it into the main plot. And how many times can you tie in Bruce Wayne saw his parents die into the...

    Marvel's Daredevil

    Is not about not sympathizing with the situations he's in, it's about sympathizing with a "hero" who acts without restraint. I love punisher, but he's not a good guy. His answer to every problem is to hit so hard nothing gets up. While I understand the desire to create justice, he doesn't...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Geographically, I have no idea. But metropolis is new York city and Gotham is Chicago. wherever they decided to place these cities on a map is unrelated to what cities they represent. If you have the need to put them close together in the real world we are looking at stupid things like Gotham is...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    yes exactly. superman has never been about flag waving either. cap and superman stand for the same thing. truth, justice and the American way meant something a whole lot different 50 years ago. it's not about ethnocentrism, it's about aspiring to be the best person you can be.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Yeah, there is just so much of this movie that is wasted screen time. It feels like it was all there for a reason, but the reason cut out because the runtime was too long

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    You can't be serious... The trailer tells you went they are fighting. After the events of the last series of movies people are tired of the avengers causing so much property damage. Stark thinks they need to be put in check and governed, cap thinks the people in charge are corrupt and they'll...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    What do you mean? What has been different with any of the movie Batman origins? Other than minor details here and there? Val kilmer mentions specifically that bats scare him, so that's why he picked the bat motif, to conquer his fear and use that fear on others. BvS origin showed Thomas actually...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    SHE IS WARRIOR-BORN! but yeah, she very easily could have not been in the movie other than for the justice league tie in. i mean, KGBeast had more lines than her. (the dude with the flamethrower). speaking of him, how on EARTH do you give KGBeast, of ALL villians, more screen time than batman in...

    it was a mountain of kryptonite? where's that even come from without it causing a world ending event? i knew there was kryptonite involved, i just don't remember it being the entire mountain... hmm.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    a lot of truth in this. as poor of a movie as superman returns was, the power level was much more in check. now, maybe i'm just misremembering but the plane crash wasn't just a "swoop in and pick it up" type of thing and when superman lifted the giant mountain of earth, it was clear that this...

    Marvel's Daredevil

    as much as i want more punisher, one of the writers of the show mentioned that punisher doesn't work well as the protaganist. an accurate portrayal of frank castle is as a villian who only targets other villians. having him be the one you are rooting for results in him being watered down. it's...
