Mos 2.4x legs were not good.

Bvs and civil war are both mess and crap.

Don't treat superman as sacred, a filmmaker can make him what he wants.

No, lets look at your individual tastes to decide the greatness of a movie; that makes sense. The bottom line is that the movie was a great success, so saying it has the same problem as a movie that did not succeed just can't be true. "You know what the problem with movie that succeeded and movie that failed is, they're both messes." Yeah, except one succeeded and one didn't.

Blade runner and star wars. One made less money, one more, both are hailed as masterpieces.

In next comment, type something about the films.

Only first one can be said as fact. Other are opinions. I think it should be easily clear?

BTW random thought but Gatsby is a great movie. bought the book the other day

 

The movie misses almost the entire point of the novel.

Facts with YourMother:

1.) MOS didn't have good or bad legs, it had okay legs

2.) CW was also a heavily frontloaded sequel, I won't be surprised if more ensemble CBMs become frontloaded too.

We may disagree on certain things but we agree on some things like this.

IM3 dealt with Gatsby ($55M OW), Darkness ($70M OW), and a plethora of Memorial Day releases (Epic, Fast 6, Hangover 3).

 

And it opened about $50m higher in early May - so no summer days until near the end of it's run.

I guess I'll find out
 

I thought the ending of the movie in particular was very effective. Pretty excited to read the book

I don't consider Blade Runner to be a masterpiece. Sorry. It has a cult following, but I don't see the universal mainstream praise.

A movie has to have universal mainstream praise to be a masterpiece.

 

Shit. maybe Before Sunrise and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind shouldn't be my favorite movies of all time

The great thing about the Wonder Woman film was that it was hopeful and it made me feel optimistic about the human race and our future. And if a Superhero film manages to make it's audience feel hopeful and optimistic, then that's a huge success. But while Wonder Woman is an empathetic, and compassionate Superhero. She's also a badass and a warrior, and will kill any evil-doer for the greater good, because she's an Amazon and basically a soldier. So it was not only a faithful depiction of Wonder Woman's character, it managed to find the right balance between it's levity and dark tone in the second half of the film. But that mostly has to do with Patty Jenkins as a filmmaker and storyteller. She not only understands the character of Wonder Woman, she knows how to make a film.

well there's the confirmation that most thought they were overestimating some of the drops this weekend for WW  

[filmlover]

To me, the most glaring part where Wonder Woman succeeds where the previous DCEU movies failed is in getting me to actually care about the characters. For example, in BvS, we were never properly introduced to Ben Affleck's Batman/Bruce Wayne, and therefore, I had no reason to care about him. Umpteenth iteration of the character's tragic childhood over the opening credits doesn't cut it.

We could get into the semantics of where you draw the line at 'cult movie', but the notion that Blade Runner isn't now generally considered to be a seminal sci-fi film is ridiculous.

 

(Let's take is as read that all purported masterpieces have their share of detractors.)

This. This is also the reason why I liked civil war more than bvs inspite of beieng equal mess. I cared about spider man more than batman or wonder woman in that movie.
