You know Homecoming actually went a long way toward helping me accept that laughable Cap suit, lol.

Yeah it was funny that they would use that suit - knowing that it's the least popular look he had. Cheeky of them, you have to give them props for it.
 
I just don't see how anyone can feel JL was better than BvS. Outside of it being lighter.

Is that all it takes for people to like a CB movie? Really!?
 
From the pros, saying that Affleck didn’t look in best shape.

Was it because he stopped training before he got called back for re shoot, or is his life style of drinking not helping?

Hmm interesting. I gave away my Avengers blu-ray years ago so it actually is just a movie I think back on unfavorably without revisiting. Sometimes if its on TV while channel surfing I'll switch to it, see the crappy sitcom quality photography and go "bah" and change the channel.



Well the film quality IMO can go down when its on TBS or other cable channels often giving it a more TV like appearance.. I would never think that it looked like a Sitcom.. Giving away your Blu ray is weird to me.. It may not be caps best outing but its still cap :(

I don;t know.. like I said I know the film has a low budget feel but I tend to think most Marvel films feel that way. I think TWS stand above but I actually think CW has a bit of a low budget feel also.. Can't explain why...

So I suppose it's possible that if I were to watch it from beginning to end that I'd be able to appreciate it more but honestly I just don't feel the need. There are too many other films I love that don't annoy me in the ways that Avengers does.

I think you need to give it another chance.. Caps mask IMO is all that is wrong with the film.. Cap still has great moments and great lines.






That's why I really miss the days of Siskel & Ebert. Siskel was like a majority of the people here and on RT "the narrative was uneven so I give thumbs down, boo!" While Ebert was more like me "the narrative was a mess but the movie was still entertaining, thumbs up!" Ebert loved Escape from LA by the way. ;)

Yep he liked Escape from LA and did not like Die Hard.. His taste was really strange at times.

I do understand why a lot of DC and DCEU fans would hate Justice League though. It's all because of "what could have been." I think if Zack and company said from Day 1 "look we're going to try for something different, we want to make a living cartoon" then people would have been braced for that and could have had an easier time embracing that. But to be 80% done making "Justice League - Two Part Fury Road Knightmare Edition" and THEN switch to the living cartoon royally pissed off legions of fans who were chomping at the bit to see the other movie.


I can understand DC fans being upset but at the same time.. So many of them complained about the other two Snyder films.. I don't know what they think they would have got and why it would or should be better then the other two films.. Why is it NOW that Snyder whould have got it right? To me it lies somewhere in the middle... I think JL did most of the hero and action right... It is a Superhero film and the action fit the hero's. But the villain and overall story was such a mess that it took all seriousness out of the film... Give a serious threat with a decent story with all that action and Hero interplay and it would have been a much better film instead of a good popcorn flick.
We'll see how it's received years from now when the dust settles. I remember being so disgusted with ROTJ and Alien 3 for a time when I thought about "what could have been." But eventually I just accepted that those films were the products of a million different factors and that they just were what they were and I can now appreciate them for the positive aspects that they do contain (moreso ROTJ than A3 obviously.)

Or it will slowly turn to crap like AOU and IM3 (and soon Thor 3 mark my words :lol)

Seriously though.. ROTJ... Weird film... I go through fazes with that film.. Loved it when I first saw it as a 12 year old.. Hated it when I was older and now I am back to loving parts of it and allowing those parts to shine over some of the things I don;t care for (which is mostly lazy acting and script)

I hated ALIEN 3 when I first saw it.. I have no issues with it now.
When I watched JL I literally just determined that I was watching a soft reboot and really didn't concern myself with all those things we joke about here (no rising dirt, Knightmare battle, Flash going back in time, etc.) I see JL as basically another Batman Forever. It loosely references previous films (same actors playing Alfred and Gordon, Kidman references Catwoman's outfit) but otherwise retells Bruce's origin and basically feels like a completely different universe. I consider JL to be more of a mess than BF (since at least BF knew what it wanted to be from the very beginnig) but at the same time I think that JL is still vastly more entertaining even in spite of its glaring flaws.

JL could go down the Batman Forever path for me.. I actually really liked Batman forever when I first saw it.. Loved it actually.. But then the "commando Effect" took over and every viewing after that I just started to notice a little bit each time how bad it was.. Now I see It as pretty awful with Val being the only bright spot.

I hope JL does not take that road to nowhere for me :lol

Hnnng

Trash and JAWS I am in need of emergency care.

:lol

I have never seen it in 3D either.. But at least I still like it :)
