The fact that this movie will likely end up with 850M+ is certainly impressive. But a mid-budget movie starring the most famous villain of all time is hardly what I would call "financially risky." There was nothing risky about this movie, despite all the drama and controversy surrounding it. -
If you ignore the quality of the storytelling, sure. It has a great third act that takes it from mediocre to good but that's largely due to spectacle.
-
This may be your best post...ever. Wow. 😂
-
I mean, I guess this sounds slightly better but that last sentence still shows his elistist mindset. Cinema is not one thing or another, cinema includes every kind of movie. I'd say it's unfortunate that he can't see that but whatever.... I can't say I particularly care what he thinks.
-
Phillips doing a HP movie is some of the strangest speculation I've seen here. To say the compatibility of this match is low would be an understatement, indeed.
-
Who said they did? It's not about BP or WW being firsts but how their massive success shows that there are no excuses for why we shouldn't have more CBMs with women and poc leads. It's amusing that you only call out Disney when WB wasn't doing much better. Again, Catwoman was over 15 years ago.
-
Don't be dense. That was over 15 years ago. My point is that Cyborg was supposed to get a solo movie yet we haven't heard a thing about it. I'd be surprised if it was even still on WB's radar.
-
What's wrong with that? Would be no different than WB rushing to build a cinematic universe because it's worked so well for Marvel. If only they looked at the success of Black Panther and finally decided to give Cyborg (or any black superhero) a solo movie....
-
Lol at his comments not being negative. And doesn't matter if someone said something worse. What Scorsese said is no less ignorant.
-
Ummm, a famous director says a very popular brand doesn't qualify as cinema and you don't think it would be all over the news even if people weren't "easily offended??" Please. His comments make him look small minded and out of touch in any case and deserved pushback.
-
Who said he's not allowed to have an opinion? He is. And people are allowed to criticize his opinion. Not sure why that's equated to being "easily offended." Although what he said is offensive to the people who make these movies.
-
Well this movie is making the most inspired choices of all the live action remakes so far. And the music will almost certainly be second to none.
-
It may not be but that's what its defenders see it as and the kind of movie fans point to when they talk about wanting variety and being different from the MCU.
-
A few movies "pushing what the genre can do" is not worth it at this point to me. I would rather see Storm done justice, Good X-Men and FF movies, a Spider-Man connected to the larger Marvel universe. And the MCU movies are certainly different enough for me. If you want more "genre-pushing" movies, there's always WB. I'm sure they are open to doing more movies like Joker.
-
Why is this so funny to me? With Blade, the X-Men, FF and several trilogies just getting underway, Marvel is not slowing down any time soon.
-
Well I'm not upset at all, just wholly unimpressed with what I'm sure Phillips thought was clever writing for her character and interaction with Arthur. In almost every movie centered on one character, the other characters are there to essentially contribute to his or her story. That doesn't preclude a film from having multiple great or interesting characters. The best storytellers have shown us this.
-
I didn't even mention screentime. I'm talking about writing. People I trust have seen the movie and were not impressd with what Zazie is given and that's putting it mildly. After hearing about her role, it makes me want to see the movie less...didn't think that was possible. It doesn't have to be an ensemble to have more than one standout character or performance. I'm certainly far more impressed with movies that manage to have at least 2 or 3 fully realized characters.
-
Nolan's weakness has always been his writing/casting of women characters but Rachel still has notable role in the movie. Not to mention that TDK has a hell of lot of other stuff going for it. Bale is not asked to carry the whole movie. And I'm sorry, the depiction of women characters is irrelevant information? What?
-
Not only that but almost everything I've seen about the movie says that JP is the standout. Very little praise for the other characters or actors, including Zazie and if you can't even give your sole main female character much of anything to work with, you definitely won't be making my top 20 list.
-
I'll add Black Panther and Guardians 1 to this list.
-
Even if Endgame is where they peaked, this is hardly bad given how huge Endgame was. Every other studio would love to go "downhill" from there. Alas, Disney haters have to find comfort wherever they can.
-
Comparing the bleaknesss of Joker to that of IW seems... off. IW is still a huge event movie with plenty of spectacle. I haven't seen Joker but safe to say it is not that. Maybe it can manage a 55-56% drop but 60% or more would be no surprise.
-
False. While it's a terribly flawed movie, it has more enjoyable moments than BvS imo. Either way, JL never had much of chance, even it was good, and that's exactly because BvS was so polarizing.
-
Probably the same as BvS, which means 2/3 of it ends up as a boring mess with a very good final act battle but still not nearly enough to make for a good overall experience.
-
Scorsese is a great director, yes but that's a bad take that makes him sound elistist and out of touch. I mean, to say comic book movies aren't "the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being" is just flat out wrong. (And the headline may say Marvel movies but we know Marvel is just the popular example being used.)
