    One of the worst offenses this movie does is play Bangerang for the dubstep song. Its not a big deal but 

     

    Its the first time I went yep this filmmaker to def to old to be making this reference,  it made me roll my eyes. 

     

    They picked the OLDEST possible dubstep song they could have.  its 6 years OLDDDDDDDDD. its in that awkward time frame. Skrillex has releases like over 100 songs since then.  And its not old enough to be cool again. its awkward. Its like saying were about to drop the hottest track on the radio from DRAKE and its from 2 albums ago. its was confusing to me. And it reminded me this filmmaker is 50....

     

    Its like your dad singing that song you liked in 7th grade and saying I thought you LOVED this song but you're in 12th grade now. 

     

    I'm fucking 25 years old. That song was the most popular when I was 19 for god sakes, I still lived at home, I couldn't even drink, so it feels like a worse offense to me, its not modern. 

     

     

    My buddy who is at EDC right now because  his DUBSTEP track are being played infornt of 25,000 people was like YAY dubstep joke, and then when he heard the song, he said he thought so lammmmme. The joke only works on people who don't actually listen or have heard dubstep. Thus they didn't succeed.  

     

     

    Again, this isn't effecting my "grade" its just two eye roll moments

    As someone who knows what dubstep is, but don't know any "songs", the joke worked perfectly.

    Id really love to see a dinosaur movie about a giant game reserve. Billionaires come to hunt T-Rexes, Spinosauruses, Allosauruses, etc. it wouldn't really fit into the Jurassic park universe totally but that might make for a great movie. Or even a Turok movie where he's on a whole planet full of dinosaurs. 

     

     

    Suggest you watch The Lost World then

    115-120 isn't a trainwreck for DP2, but it's certainly not good under any circumstance. If you don't understand why then consider that the only superhero sequels this decade to decrease from their predecessor on OW are Age of Ultron, Apocalypse, and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. In AoU's case that's because it was following up the all time OW record. It either had to break the OW record or decrease, so it's not exactly a good comparison. So that simply leaves DP2 in the company of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and :apocalypse:

    someone forgot about ASM2, The Wolverine, Kick Ass and TDKR

     

    Edit : and this drunk guy just realized we are talking about OW... disregard ASM2 and TDKR!!!

    Barring some apocalyptic event, this will be the 100th Fox film to pass 100M domestic.

     

    Also the MCU now has more films over 300M domestic than any of the big six studios except Disney itself, which has 25 over that mark. Second place is WB with 11 while the MCU has 12.

    Crazy to think there are basically 8 Iron Man movies over 300M DOM.

    The only success Snyder should be credited for in regard to Wonder Woman is that, while everyone dismissed Gal Gadot as a "skinny underwear model who has zero personality," he saw something in her that he believed in.

    After watching her fantastic performance in the film and all the raves she got, you can tell that Snyder's instincts about casting are spot on.

    His entire career as a filmmaker tells me that as a storyteller, he ain't shit.

     

    So i take it you don't know Wonder Woman was written by Snyder?

    There is no such thing as "perfectly bilingual" because there is no such thing as a "perfect" way of talking or communicating.

    This is one thing that is really hard to grasp for most speakers of so-called Standard American English, but speaking English with a non-American/non-English accent is not inherently bad (or good).

     

    Obviously, perception of what is a good or bad accent is not objective.  Being a French Canadian living and working  in the US, I have several colleagues from corporate visiting the local offices and it is often cringy to hear them talk with their broken English, backwards sentence structure, using the wrong words and straight up inventing words.  While I do appreciate them for their effort at what is their second language, that doesn't  mean  constructive criticism is off limits.  As far as Gal Gadot is concerned, I  usually find that she can deliver lines in a convincing manner about 95% of the time.

    I rewatched Thor Ragnarok and Justice League this past week.  Some updated thoughts on both:

     

    Thor Ragnarok:

    - Still my favorite CBM of 2017.  Pacing is excellent, movie doesn't take itself too seriously, almost every joke lands, campy villains are great, Cate as Hela is awesome, Hulk moments are good, Bruce Banner moments are great (which is the first time I've preferred Banner to Hulk since 2003), Loki is finally portrayed in a way that anyone can relate to.  He's the trickster, a semi villain and a would be hero.  Action scenes are top notch.  Top 3 MCU for me overall.

     

    Justice League:

    - Boy oh boy..  In the MCU/DCEU/XMen war, I've always preferred X-Men, then DCEU, then MCU characters.  As far as movies are concerned, I've had more fun watching MCU movies, but I've found that the DCEU had the most remarkable moments (Papa Kent's death in MOS,  Batman fighting Superman in BvS up until "Martha!!!", Wonder Woman as a whole and Steppenwolf fighting - no close up - no talking). 

    - Things I loved about JL : The smoothness of the fights with Steppenwolf (the way his axe lights up the screen), most of the Flash jokes/quips, Batman/Bruce Wayne, the soundtrack, any wonder woman fighting scenes, Cyborg was fine but needed more emotion, the Superman vs JL fight (aside from close up shots of Superman's face...ugh).

    - Things I hate about JL : Happy Superman - I much prefer the realistic and gloomy Superman, Steppenwolf's face and speeches, Wonder Woman calling out "Kal-El no!!!" (Gal Gadot is fine, but they should fine tune some of her lines - not her fault technically that she is not perfectly bilingual) , the Russian family side story, obviously hate the CGI no mustache Superman (no close up shots next time please)

     

    Hopefully for me, this is not the last Snyder movie for DCEU, but I'm more worried about WB's management of the DCEU schedule than who will direct what at this point.  All these rumors of non DCEU spinoffs (Joker, Batman...) are leaving me desensitized to the global story they want to tell.

    Insulting the franchises, more or less (although ideally people would make an effort to be at least a little bit civil about it) but insulting each other as individuals is a no-go.

    I always found AA batteries to be really useless.  I prefer 9V batteries because they save lives when properly placed in smoke detectors.

    I still don't understand the (online) hate for Avatar though.  Granted the story is not original, except original stories are very rare.  Most movies are a variation on a previously seen theme. 

     

    Avatar may not be original, but the story is told perfectly.   The pacing is perfect.  Every characters motivations are defined, complex and don't feel forced (from the Ex Army leader with clear rules of engagement, to the CEO trying to please the shareholders, to the native girl torn apart from her love of her people and Jake, to the assistant losing his avatar role to Jake but accepting this and moving on...). 

     

    The visuals are stunning even nearly 10 years later.  The only thing I hate about Avatar is the delayed sequels.  Get to work James, you lazy filmmaker.
