No film with such an inspired Sam L.Jackson performance can truely be called bad, just alternative-facts good .

I saw that abomination in a movie theater. It's so bad that it made me retroactively hate Batman Forever. So yes, that film isn't really "fun" when your experience is living trhrough Batman getting turned back into a joke after how absurdly great both Batman 89 and Batman Returns are, arguably two of the best live action Batman film movies.
And then they have snow change costumes and more Mr. Freeze puns, it's an amazing movie to laugh at.
I've only glanced at a few of these reviews, but it seems like Aquaman will be in for smooth sailing with the general audience. Like predictable plot, questionable underwater CG and the irks isn't something most people will care about.
It's an exciting romp, with big setpieces and spectacle that mostly keeps you entertained for 2 1/2 hours.
I still don't quite understand what everyone finds so fun about Venom. The 2nd act is the only enjoyable thing about it. The beginning and end is a snooze fest. Especially that final fight between Venom and Riot.
The only thing I enjoyed was the romance subplot between Eddie and Venom. Without it, I'd consider the movie Catwoman unwatchable
You'd be surprised how strongly something like that can carry a movie.
Like I can't tell you about the climax, but their bonding time, the car chase, Venom's emergence all kind of fun and enjoyable camp.
I really wish Venom had more scenes of tom hardy being weird/ learning the ropes of his new powers/bonding with venom . The movie sort of jumped right into the dissapointing final battle , the pacing feels off .
No complaints about woody harlson wig, really aced that one , movie .

The Spirit is a disaster but its fascinating as being the closest thing to those 70's psychedelic films we're going to get with modern visuals and budget.
For me it was a movie that I wish was the sequel. You just want to see more of Eddie/Venom, but since the movie takes forever to get to that dynamic, you don't get much of it.
Venom appeals best to a crowd of people that were going to just be happy getting exactly what that movie had to offer.
That model isn't sustainable, but hey, if Sony wants to bank on it, *shrug*
I thought the Eddie/Venom dynamic was interesting. For me it's sort of where most good superhero movies fall for me, which is that it's relatively predictable, boilerplate story and character arc elevated by interesting, likable, appealing characters and worlds. This is sort of how I feel about WW and Black Panther tbh.
2nd good one.
Aquaman tried to steal Venom's day so Venom stole this thread in response.
wonder woman was more DC trash, how anyone likes that movie I don't know. Luckily we have Captain Marvel coming soon and she can give us a good female led superhero film.
The charisma of a rock. And people complained that Gal Gadot is a bad actress, maybe but she at least has charisma.
30+ movies with men in the lead: silence
2 movie with women in the lead: FIGHT!!!!
Thing about Avatar 2 is it's also mostly filmed underwater, too. Also since it's all motion captured, you won't get that "Actor clearly in front of a greenscreen pretending to swim" thing.
So the 75%~80% score on RT was actually a thing after all. A pretty good result considering the cringe parts the movie must have throughout the first and the second acts. I'd call it a sluggish-fun which the Chinese market tends to dig, and that's why it'll be a huge hit on the box office after all.
Visually it looks stunning, and a little weird. It reminds me of Valerian, but in a good sense... if it's making any sense.

I disagree, I found it good, not amazing though. As for Captain Marvel...I'm not too impressed by the trailers but hope it does well.

Lmao the lobster gif fits soo well to this.
My shallow, forgettable tent pole movie designed to sell toys is better than your shallow, forgettable tent pole movie designed to sell toys!
I thought WW was a touch over rated but what is this? Compared to Man of Steel, BvS, and Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman is way better
This whole automatic "lashing out at the other comic company's equivalent" thing is pretty unseemly. I expect to see talk about blast processing and the most bits next.
Actually it's more a Brie Larson thing. In my opinion she's just a horrible and overrated actress with many of the same faults that people unfairly apply to Gal.
