"Where's the David Hasselhoff Nick Fury TV movie?! Rip-off!"

That would be a really cool special feature to include, actually! Man, if only I could sue movie studios for not including more bonus content on their blu-rays…

'Tis a sad day when the review is legitimately more entertaining than the movie.

Lmao! Fixed that, thanks.

I am happy for exactly two things that have come out of this movie:

And the sad thing is, this was a cheap film to make— $60 million. That's a pretty minimal investment. It probably would have been just as cheap to directly adapt The Gunslinger, which is basically just a Spaghetti Western with a few mutants thrown in— and the results would have LOOKED better and told a more cohesive,…

Except Westerns don't make money, according to Hollywood logic. So this had to very clearly be a sci-fi/fantasy, fish-out-of-water, YA superhero movie from the very start, or no one would come see it, ya' get me?

Wow, if ever there were a premise and a story that did NOT deserve the '80s action-extravaganza formula with a quipping, smirking protagonist, it's friggin' Death Wish.

Except Bruce specifically, pointedly tells Lucius Fox that FOX is the only one capable of actually using the machine. Batman, implicitly, DOESN'T trust himself with that power, but rather trusts the one man he knew would never actually WANT it.

“An understanding of what made the original so powerful.”

Something's been bothering me about the A.V. Club's continued likening of Atomic Blonde to John Wick, and their seeming befuddlement at Blonde's subsequent failure to catch on at the box office… and today it finally hit me.

Agreed. I will even admit that the fridge-nuking scene, which most people sh*t on as the nadir of the Indy saga, is actually my favorite part of the movie.

I anticipate feeling the same way about this as I did when Green Lantern came out. Sometimes you can just see that ol' train comin', but you can't get outta the way…

The love theme worked for me, too! I'm a sucker for a simple, melancholy piano tune.

Kinda like his Amazing Spider-Man 2 score, which had by FAR my favorite live-action Spider-Man theme in it… but which was overshadowed by the pervasive, obnoxious dubstep Electro themes.

The only thing I'll ever hold again Hans Zimmer is his Man of Steel score, which is somehow both sleepily subdued and obnoxiously thunderous, yet almost never soaring or triumphant (save for the amazing end-credits track, "What Are You Going to Do When You Aren't Saving the World?"). But that was more the MOVIE'S…

That's… actually kind of awesome.

I loved Wonder Woman. Easily my favorite comic-book movie of the year. It was fun, it had a solid story, it had some great performances, and it was better than most of Marvel's Phase-Two-and-onward output…

I've really been meaning to get around to those soon… I've heard a lot of good things! Dalton just seems too perfect NOT to be Bond, y'know?

I'll be honest, I never had one shred of interest in the James Bond film franchise until this movie came out. I thought most of the films were cheesy, formulaic junk (except for Goldeneye, the only one I could get into), and I honestly didn't get the appeal because I had no sense of connection or empathy with the main…
