That's cool. If you guys enjoyed it, more power to you! Don't let me take any of that away from ya'; different tastes, and all that.

I respectfully disagree.
Saw it, and I loved that moment, but that was more of a fan service-y cutaway than an attempt to do the costume justice— the thing looked like any of a hundred Harley cosplays I've seen at Comic-Con.
Honestly, the one thing that I would say has been good about every DCEU film so far, without reservation, is the costuming. ALL of the DC heroes and villains look freaking great (save for Batman, whom I think looks too on-the-nose— like a cosplay of Batman rather than the real deal). This movie might be poorly…
Oh, this is f%$#ing heartbreaking…
I love how, the week after Ghostbusters came out, nearly everyone on the planet (or at least on the Internet) had already completely forgotten about it. It's like it had more appeal as an abstract concept than it did as a movie— which is probably accurate, since the film itself is pretty damn mediocre.
Well, of COURSE there would be no fictional superheroes in a world where Bruce Wayne decided to become Batman. Because if there were, then it wouldn't be a case of Bruce deciding to dress as a bat to frighten and more easily subdue criminals— it would be Bruce deciding to become a superhero to fight criminals, which…
Well, with a character like Superman, the question of whether he's the only superhuman being on the planet actually plays a pretty big role in the character his stories could have. If Superman is the only superhero in the world, he's momentous, historic— a more powerful symbol of hope. If he's just one of dozens, his…
This is what I wish Warner Bros. had done with their properties. Instead of aping the Marvel formula and forcing a shared universe down audiences' throats, build a series of self-contained prestige franchises on the model of the Dark Knight films. Make a self-contained Man of Steel trilogy (with someone else directing…
Man… this movie got BUTCHERED in post. Just… just completely shredded. The first twenty minutes are cut like a f%$*ing music video.
Apparently the problem was that MacLauren wanted to make Wonder Woman a big, fun action blockbuster. WHY Warner Bros. didn't think that was a good idea is beyond me, but their take on it was as a "character study". So MacLauren left.
I'm also annoyed that the movie has to give us an amped-up version of the New-52 origin. I mean, as bad as the Harley/Joker relationship is, at least Harley used to have some agency in it: SHE chose to break Joker out of prison, SHE chose to work with him, SHE put on the costume and the clown make-up. Joker just…
Johns' stuff is sexist? How so? I've never picked up on anything terribly overt… (Aside from that questionable "Supergirl stares at Cat Grant's breast implants" joke in his Action Comics run— but that was more "tasteless" than "sexist".)
Actually, the latest update has the script written by Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns himself:
Hey, the point of that story was to criticize the dark, gritty direction DC had been going in. Context matters!
Well, crap. Looks like the overriding philosophy of "visuals first, story last" actually IS the DCEU house style, and not just an unfortunate side-effect of Zack "Michael Bay Jr." Snyder's direction.
I see The Fly more as an allegory for a deteriorating, abusive relationship in which one partner falls prey to drugs. Brundle experiments with something out of jealousy and a sense of inadequacy; he immediately feels empowered and rejuvenated, but his emotions become more brash. As time goes on, his body deteriorates,…
Kow-towing to test audiences completely ruined the point of the original Final Destination, too. The film's original ending had Devon Sawa's character basically sacrificing his life to save Ali Larter. Then, there's a flash-forward to a year later, and we see that Larter survived, and has had Sawa's child (there was a…
After seeing some set photos that were posted online today, I can confirm that this pic is actually really unflattering, and that the guy looks just fine as Superman. (Check 'em out yourself here: http://tylerhoechlin.net/ph…
I think Superman is probably the one character they'll make this allowance for, because he's SO iconic and SO well known that Warner execs aren't as afraid of the sight of two different actors playing Superman confusing our feeble monkey brains. But I'm pretty sure that only extends to Superman, because I don't think…
