MoS at 56%? GTFO!
That high, huh? Damn bots.
You know, Snyder's twitter followers are only 1.3 million. There are bad TV shows with a larger fanbase, like Housewives.
MoS at 56%? GTFO!
This is pretty much what I feared and expected from ZS.
The "I wouldn't do that if I were you" moment... slo-mo too, right?
Hell yes it's all in slo-mo/fast/slo-mo/fast.....you even had to ask?
Same situation happens again 15 minutes later in case we somehow missed what a complete and total BADASSSSS she is.
Is this movie brilliant or a study in WTF...?
Can anyone say 3 nice things about it... and then 3 critical things about it? Alatar?
That's your critical comments? The 3rd one isn't even a negative. You love Jimmy, OK.
Certainly you can be more critical than that. You can freely say Star Wars is heavily derivative, yet seem to be OK with Snyder's derivative version of someone else derivation (and are sure he's making a point about be derivative). Exploiting something to death doesn't mean its an 'expose on exploitation' regardless of pointing it out (see Sucker Punch).
OK, I just watched this thing and damn did you hit it on the nose - oh so tiresome and predictable. I paint-by-numbers Magnificent Seven without any magnificence. Well, except maybe for the NAIADG (Native American in a Distant Galaxy) that can commune with giant birds. I kid you not. And ZS spends over half the movie gathering up this band of warriors yet no time is devoted to getting to know them or they one another - everything we learn about them is via another character's exposition. And with only a brief exception this movie is so very ugly looking (the exception being the rare instance where there's a sun that actually shines down upon a planet in this universe that Snyder has created). Otherwise everything just looks so dreary, and for an adventure that features plenty of space travel there's not one memorable looking ship to be found. Some of the ship designs seemed borrowed from Dune (the 1984 one) or Starship Troopers, and at other times ideas/designs seem blatantly lifted from Avatar, The Matrix, Infinity War and Saga to name a few. And while I like Sofia Boutella and thought she acquitted herself well, her character seems like she was created by throwing together pieces of Gamora and Alita. I mean, I get that there are no new ideas anymore, but could ZS at least make some attempt to camouflage his plagiarism? JFC.... Not to pile on, but the music was pretty bad as well - there was so much oddly-timed choral chanting during so many scenes it was as if Snyder wanted to be sure we knew that a climactic event was taking place (and yet most of the time there really wasn't).BOBF is truly one of the high-water marks for garbage these days, but this is giving it a run for its money.
It's just so tiresome. It's so predictable. This was either written by a 5 year old, a computer, or a chimp. Maybe all three collaborated.
It's just so on-the-nose OBVIOUS it makes me wanna puke.
It's so common I wouldn't call it symbolism but rather a required trope. And an ancient trope at that. The Natural Man vs the Machine/Evil Tech. It's in everything and ever-present -- like the bad guys riding motorcycles vs the hero on a horse all the way to McClane's bare feet (the monkey wrench in the machine). Also, Snyder did this with a hammer to the head with Krypton.
People point out his highest rated movie is written by James Gunn lol

First let me say about Sofia Boutella
Is this movie brilliant or a study in WTF...?
Can anyone say 3 nice things about it...
Spoiler:All of our heroes are trapped in these really cool robotic restraints, almost like walking Carbonite slabs. It's a cool concept. Oh man....our heroes are totally boned now! All chained up, completely immobile, the enemy army surrounding them with their guns....how are they possibly gonna get out of this???
Well....wait for it....
The helpless eunuch farmer guy just unlocks the Girl Boss. That's it. That's all. And for some reason, instead of gunning her down before she can move, and also gunning down the other helpless captives, the entire enemy army just stands there while she flies through the air in slo-mo, grabs a giant rifle, and they helpfully just stand still while she kills them one by one. Oh, and none of the other captives get a single scratch on them while things explode and spaceships fall from the sky all around them, and they're completely immobile and captured.
Whew! That was lucky for them, huh??
