>What’s changed is an “us versus them” mentality, one which may or may not be linked to the polarization inherent in the current political culture and possibly tied to the kind of hardcore fans attracted to the darker/grittier/more violent DC Films offerings. But the result is that the critics, the ones who are on the frontlines saying “DC Films can make better movies!” are being held up as the enemy by those who blindingly accept whatever scraps Warner and DC has seen fit to give them. That’s the tragedy. The filmmakers and the critics of the critics claim “it’s for the fans,” but the current DC universe is selling the fans to Humble Pie for $50 and a pack of beer.

Feels good to be a DChad
I wanted a movie with some violence and hot pants and that's what I got. Literally the best capeshit of the summer (not that any of them have been above a C)
Josiah Adams
These cuck articles make me like the movie even more. >mfw cucks try to tell me what to like and what not to like stay cucked mankids
Eli Gonzalez
I agree, wasn't nearly as good as BvS or MoS, but I got Margot Robbie in short shorts, and an interesting Armond White article that BTFO libshits.
Nathan Foster
If all it takes to make you like a movie is a woman in short shorts and a little bit of violence, then you have shit opinions when it comes to film.

Because you refused to even attempt to engage with BvS's attempt at thematic depth, while giving a free pass to Marvels barely cinematic sitcom episodes.
Jose King
If all it takes to make you like a movie is a handful of quips and overly simplistic, easy to digest storylines and a few rad dance moves, then you have shit opinions when it comes to film.
Xavier Roberts
Ant Man was enjoyable but I can't refute your other points.
Jace Powell
jesus christ we get it Scott, it's the 10th article of something about SS.

Of the four Capeshit flick this summer which one would you consider an actually well made film?
Alexander Jenkins
but GotG is more than that but I guess you weren't actually trying to make a point, or be intelligent in any form or fashion.
Jackson Torres
BvS has no cinematic depth. Snyder's laughable imagery does not even register as an attempt. He's an idiot.
Jace Hall
>by those who blindingly accept whatever scraps Warner and DC has seen fit to give them. How will DCucks ever recover?
Leo Clark
Yes, Guardians of the Galaxy was a regular feast for the senses. A tour-de-force. Cîńémā at its most potent.
Aaron James
Agreed BvS is quite problematic
Nolan Rogers
Marvel being bad does not make DC good.
It's all shit, and you shouldn't defend shit.
Oliver Ramirez
>but GotG is more than that Is it? Care to elaborate on that one in true fashionably intelligent form?
Anthony Martin
What did (((the media))) mean by this?
Hudson Morales
wrong user
Asher Roberts
Most of the "critics" didn't even mention that "laughable" imagery, user. They complained about pacing and plot holes.
Juan Jackson
That's another sign of your guys' immaturity, your 'if-then' mentality
>IF he didn't like a DC movie THEN he must like marvel movies
Kill yourselves, all capeshit is shit.
The only good superhero movie I've seen was The Incredibles.
Jack Green
Let me guess, you thought the movie was literally about Jesus? Wrong.
Nathan Fisher
>fuck that us vs them attitude amrite? >you should totaly stop liking that movie because I tell you though
Brayden Garcia
DUDE TALKING TREE LMAO
Ian Wright
That's because if you want to explore something in depth you have to first establish basic and advanced competence. Snyder displays occasional competence on a basic level, but never once on an advanced level.
Jonathan Sanders
Does this guy have some sort of erotic fascination with shitting on Suicide Squad?
Nolan Ortiz

i watch movies for entertainment and nothing else.
these movies are entertaining when you realize theyre based on fictional characters

What if both movies were bad?
Ian Gomez
The point is one got rightfully shit on but one didn't.
Justin Stewart
I've seen all the crap. BIRTH OF KINO
Even digging past the ironic trolling aspect of these discussions, they're unpersuasive. They're not even written like a first semester freshman in a film criticism class. They're written like a precocious 8th grader in a summer school talent identification program at Duke or some second tier school. It shows promise, but has no firm grasp on an argument, a technique, or even the way filmmaking works.
Ryan Watson
Trips and his several articles about it confirm.

>he still watches a genre he actively hates
Because there are so many opportunities to do better.
Lary Fong, Zack Snyder's cinematographer, is extremely talented, ever movie he photographs is gorgeous, if WB pared him up with a director with actual talent then we might some day get a good superhero movie.
Christopher Nolan was once a really great director, Memento, The Following, and The Prestige were all good movies, then WB had that hack David S. Goyer write the first drafts of the scripts and he was forced to make sub-par films.
I want SO badly to see a good superhero film, with characters as interesting as The Joker and Batman and Superman it really shouldn't be that hard, but the studios keep fucking everything up by hiring shit writers, shit directors, or just lacking the balls to let people make a visionary movie.
It's pathetic.

You don't need jokes. Enough of this , true source material which DC has in abundance of. Back to basics and get a big director and producer
