My point is is that people are still talking about MoS, whereas Ant-Man has already been forgotten (or just wasn't seen).

According to this theory, Star Wars is more transcendent of the sci-fi genre than John Carter.

Maybe among some fanboys. Kind of pathetic, isn't it?

Two years after Man of Steel is released, fanboys are still talking about it on a daily basis.

It's cute watching fanboys get butt-hurt because someone makes a fairly obvious and innocuous comment.

Oh well, I'm guessing butthurt fanboys will still find a why to whine about their sweet, sweet confirmation bias. Hooray for the internet!

Speaking of hamfisted… Miller is the guy that gave us a scene of Max literally washing blood off his hands with breast milk. I thought that was awesome in a heightened operatic sort of way. Mileage may vary…

Is that like a "I know you are but what am I?" response? Cheers!

Perhaps. Snyder is almost entirely a visual storyteller and he's near incoherent when speaking in interviews (always been curious to see where he falls on the autism spectrum), so I tend to go by what I see on screen and not what he says in interviews.

Sure thing. I admit that like everyone else I have my own bias and personal preferences, which I think I've been pretty clear about in my well though-out and articulated comments.

Agreed.

Yes. Those things are not mutually exclusive. It's a complicated examination of what it means to be a Hero (with a capital H) in our modern-world. Goyer's screenplay didn't really help to clarify that or much of antyhing, unfortunately.

Whatever you need to believe to make yourself feel better.

K.

You do realize that unlike certain other studios, WB isn't known for putting their filmmakers in 'handcuffs.' There's a lot to criticize WB and DC over. Keeping their talent under strict control is not one of them. In fact, one complaint a lot of people seem to have about the potential slate of DC films is that there…

I went into Fant4stic (ugh, that title) with an open mind. I really enjoyed parts of it and could see the potential, but the studio totally screwed themselves over by trying to rewrite the entire movie in post and with re-shoots. It was just a complete mess by the end.

Yeah, people either complain that Superman is either too passive and too much of a boy scout. Or they complain that he's too over-powered and a murderer.

I would argue MoS was better than 75% of the MCU, including Iron Man 2 and Age of Ultron. It clearly wasn't a movie made for kids or for light entertainment, and it clearly had some issues with the screenplay (looking at you, Goyer…), but in terms of themes, production values, ambition, action sequences, direction……

Good movies are good. I hope to see more of them. Fury Road is one of the best I've seen in a long time.

Cool! Thanks for sharing.
