I keep getting reminded that Chinese Communist Party defenders use the same what-about playbook as Faux News misinformation addicts.

Man, is the Chinese gov’t thin-skinned. Thank God we’ve never had anyone leading our gov’t that couldn’t take a joke.
Another one for the “failing upward” school of directors.
Bro, you’ve wasted so much time, bro.
Even if you’ve watched Zombieland a hundred times, and you’ve memorized the dialogue, it’s still a better and probably more entertaining movie (YMMV of course) than watching Army of the Dead the first time.
My TL;DR: Review
“Snyder is the Platonic ideal of a competent director who has expanded into the parts of filmmaking he’s incompetent at, but has enough industry muscle to make people let him do things he’s bad at.”
It was an hour too long.
It was not very good. Drop the annoying daddy/daughter storyline along with a bunch of needless details and you have a solid 90 minute zombie flick. Ending was pretty lame too. Nuking the zombies is a cop out ending that rotld did better 35 years ago. Maybe Dawn being so good got my hopes up too high for this. It did…
I’m going to add this to the pile of articles that point out why Snyder films are bad but insist that their many flaws don’t matter.
Only post-Kinja AV Club would allow this scum to thrive here.
Still doesn’t excuse giving Sean Spicer, a fascist collaborator, money to do a two minute scene that could have easily been done by any dumpy looking white man and probably for less money.
If I wanted to watch Joker I’d honestly just watch Taxi Driver or King of Comedy.
Naturally, knowing Todd Philips’ other sequels, it will be the exact same plot as the original but set in Thailand and have unfunny transphobic jokes…
Why write a full article when “Todd Phillips just learned about Cape Fear and oh boy is he pumped to have more material” would do?
His name is Robert Paulson.
I have to wonder how many Statham movies you’ve seen if you characterize this is (a.) among his worst and (b.) an imitation of Liam Neeson, when it’s very much of a piece with Statham’s entire career. Not every Statham movie is as tongue-in-cheek as Crank or even The Transporter. A lot of them are grim little pulp…
I wasn’t feeling Ravi on this brain most of the episode, but the stare down with Crybaby was indeed a highlight.
