Very cool, but I loved the coloring of that film too much to allow this to be my definitive version. To finally get an apocalyptic film that wasn’t washed out desaturated browns was so refreshing.

I was really, really hoping this would turn out to be DC legitimizing JL8.
This is really just a rip-off of JL8, isn’t it? Does DC have zero new ideas?
That’s the danger of coming to a super-hyped film late. There’s no way it could possibly meet your expectations.
Fury Road is the first movie in more than a decade that I can remember seeing twice in the theater after having loved it so much. That said, if you don’t like io9’s coverage, no one is forcing you to click on titles with ‘Fury Road’ in them. It’s not like this was a stealth article about Furby’s and OH SHIT SECRET…
Not everything is for everyone.
You watched it in a theatre in 3D the way it was meant to be seen? I’m not saying that to be snarky or defensive (I don’t begrudge people their personal opinions about art), but in this age of downloading everything to watch at home, I think we tend to forget that the theatre-viewing experience is very different from…
That looks terrible, to be honest. There’s hardly any contrast at all, and the palette is really limited.
Perhaps The First Avenger could benefit from a more Sin City-esque approach: All Black and White, but use splashes of color to enhance the more sci-fi bits of it. Also, Red Skull wouldn’t be as accurate a name if it was black and white. Then He’d be Black Mask from Batman.
I’ve been waiting to use this...
The contrast of the movie is just perfect, you don’t just contrast with the color wheel, you first use contrast with light values, George Miller really did a masterpiece
Here is an example
It absolutely is not if you’re not much into action movies. If you are? Well, it’s easily one of the best ones ever made, and probably the best we have seen in many years. Things are really stale in that genre otherwise recently.
Aye a lot of re-cutting would be needed, and I liked the theatrical version just fine. Although, ...
Someone watched Prince of Darkness as a child and didn’t realize it.
“Dear Almighty Father, we ask you to bless this film. May it be rid of cliches and jump scares like the last one had. We ask that you give the writers and the directer the wisdom to do an actual scary film that may give people nightmares rather than bore them to tears. In your name, O’ Lord. Amen.”
There are some roles that people just seem born to play. And Ryan Reynolds was born to play Deadpool. I have absolutely zero reservations about this film.
I think for the obsession Sony has with having Peter Parker remain a school aged teenager, there’s only one solution - make a TV series, giving them 100 episodes where he’s still youthful, instead of movies which each take two or three years to produce, inevitably ageing him up rapidly each time out.
After repeatedly claiming that the superhero teamup film is not meant to be the sequel to Man of Steel, Zack Snyder says that the film basically is a sequel toMan of Steel:
I know it’s praising him with faint damns, and it’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I thought From Hell wasn’t bad and that Depp didn’t ruin the film with annoying Deppisms. Alan Moore is notoriously curmudgeonly about film adaptations of his work anyway so I’m sure he’d have found something to grump about.
