I’m pretty sure I’ve read before (but too lazy to look now) that Metropolis is a stand-in for Toronto, which works pretty well.

Come on, Newark, obvs.

But even then- The whole things is beautifully summarized in 2 sentences.

And even if not directly across a bay from each other, I would have always assumed they were relatively close anyway- I think most of us have always assumed they’re stand-ins for NYC in their own ways, so at the very least both would be in the Northeast, like a Philly-NYC, or NYC-DC, a relatively short drive.

I, for one, welcome her being in every single movie that comes out from now on.

He was great, but I thought Chiklis was pretty solid too. I thought their relationship was one of (only?) the very, very few things that worked about those movies.

I’m as big a comic book movie fan as there is, but I just can’t muster any enthusiasm for this. Other people have said it better below- Venom is only interesting (to most of us, it seems) in relation to Spider-Man, not on his own.

I’m pretty impressed with Bautista’s classic full name including middle initial as well. It wouldn’t look out of place on the Declaration of Independence!

I think that’s exactly it- With that name, you’d think that it MUST be cool, it’s the International Criminal Police Organization for cripes’ sakes!

That’s the thing with the Hulk- Brute strength yes, but he’s not exactly a skilled fighter, which doesn’t matter when you’re stronger than 99% of everyone else. But the 3 times we saw him fight someone at or near his strength before Thanos, he’s had his ass handed to him for a pretty solid stretch in two of them…

What, no The Great Train Robbery? I hope that it’s actually true and not urban legend that the scene of the guy firing directly at the camera (audience) caused more than a couple of Code Browns...

Maybe she’s confusing herself with her great-grandfather?

Oh, absolutely. They helped pave the way to be sure...

OK, I’ll say it- This has aged poorly now that we’ve seen what heights can be achieved with the comic book genre being fully embraced. It’s downright hokey in spots.

Fury Road is undeniably great, but you consider 2015 years ago??

My favorite new quote is from Clancy Brown’s recent Random Roles-

Too soon

That reminds me of a scene in an 80's movie I can’t remember when the main characters are in a police station, and the desk sargeant points out a guy sitting on a bench and says “See that guy? He’s a moporist (sp?), he exposed himself to a blind man.”

That’s exactly it- There were a bunch of times I’d be thinking “I bet they thought this was really funny when they were doing it”.  It was just too loose.

This movie was the first time I was ever aware that the dialogue was just a bit too ad-libbed and could have used a little more scripting.
