Good...good

Climbing buildings? Who is he Spiderman? He's a hunter...that's the whole point of the character, it's not about a challenge. He could have killed Glover plenty of time because he's invisible. If it was about a challenge, he wouldn't be invisible when he kills people. In the entire galaxy, he looks for a cop in LA as a challenge? Come on.

Did you sleep through the movie? There are like 2 scenes of it climbing buildings, and yes it is the point of the character, they even say it in P1, Jesus.

He could have killed Dutch in many occasions too, so?

Again with the "just an LA cop", we already established he is not just a cop and it's not regular LA.

You are not serious. No, not in a million years. Glover's crew is just not as good....they're not even around long enough to be memorable.

Very serious, and yes they are, they're not around long enough? Dude, seriously did you sleep through the movie or something?

Their rich dynamic? WTF does that even mean? They had like 4 scenes together...and not a single one is memorable, it just moves the story forward and they are fine, but you want to see them in a buddy cop film? Wut?

What does rich dynamic mean? How are you asking what does that mean? We're speaking English right? Yes they are memorable, and they don't really move the story forward, they move the charactrs forward and give you a glimpse of what the characters are going through between themselves.

Yeah I would like to see a buddy cop movie of them in their ****ed up LA as much as I'd like to see Dutch's team.

Like what? His excessive sweating and scared ********* face?

Dude I listed them in my 1st or 2nd post

It's a film's job to offer the audience compelling, memorable characters, and P1 is far superior in that area and it has a larger cast. What was so over the top about P1? Besides the epic hand shake, the rest was a well written group of characters.

And P2 does just that, they were compelling and memorable, YOU don't remember them, that's on you, not on the movie.

What was so over the top? You don't even notice over the top?

Come on, not every guerrilla group is like that, just like not every cartel group uses ex military guys.

Most of them are, and even more so in Central America, and yes, every Cartel uses ex-military. I haven't heard of a Cartel that doesn't.

25% is too low, but I'm not surprised.

C'mon, there's abso****inglutely nothing that makes P2 deserve a 25% but I'm not surprised at RT anymore.

Structurally, P2 is just as good as P1, and artistically it's but a notch below, it's at least a solid 7.

Let me ask you a random question that has nothing to do with P2. Who wins in a fight, Goku or Superman? I just want to see if we agree on this one.

Oh **** that's a doozy

Half of the versions of Superman would mop the floor with Goku, and Goku would mop the floor with the other half, especially since DB went multiversal in Super.

Before DB Super I would've said Superman would win in the vast majority of situations, after DB Super, it can go either way.

Yes, he could have killed Dutch....because he wasn't a challenge either, just a trophy. Predator is a hunter....he's not looking for a real challenge. At least Dutch is more believable as an action hero, he's an abnormally muscular human lifting trucks, shooting bad guys and throwing knives at them while delivering one liners. I can see why a Predator might want to hunt him, but a cop in a city...meh.

Again with the "just an LA cop", we already established he is not just a cop and it's not regular LA.

We established? Noooo...you still believe he's super cop, but he's still just a cop, and not even a very impressive one, but it's fine if you want to believe that. In your mind he's also probably ninja along with the special forces thugs

Very serious, and yes they are, they're not around long enough? Dude, seriously did you sleep through the movie or something?

No, unfortunately I was awake when I saw Predator in a bathroom.

What does rich dynamic mean? How are you asking what does that mean? We're speaking English right? Yes they are memorable, and they don't really move the story forward, they move the charactrs forward and give you a glimpse of what the characters are going through between themselves.

Really? They're either confused or scared....wow...how original different from the first film. Such a rich...what was it...ah yes, dynamic.

Yeah I would like to see a buddy cop movie of them in their ****ed up LA as much as I'd like to see Dutch's team.

I believe YOU want to see it.

Dude I listed them in my 1st or 2nd post

No, that wasn't good enough. You said he had a "more describable personality" ...wut? He's scared and sweaty...that's about it. Then you went on about his 10 commendations and just saying he's a better character. Saying he's better doesn't make him better

And P2 does just that, they were compelling and memorable, YOU don't remember them, that's on you, not on the movie.

No one remembers them...

What was so over the top? You don't even notice over the top?

Don't answer my question with a question? What was so over the top about the character in P1? Danny Glover and Gary Busey are the kings of overacting Those characters live in a fictional over the top city...

Most of them are, and even more so in Central America, and yes, every Cartel uses ex-military. I haven't heard of a Cartel that doesn't.

What...now you work for the CIA? There's no way to know how good or bad those guerrilla soldiers were in P1, just like there's no way to know what kind of background those thugs had in P2...unless you assume things, but that doesn't count. Also,you are comparing real life cartels with some street thugs from a fictional city...so that should disqualify that comparison, because it's a different world, and we don't know much about it.

C'mon, there's abso****inglutely nothing that makes P2 deserve a 25% but I'm not surprised at RT anymore.

Structurally, P2 is just as good as P1, and artistically it's but a notch below, it's at least a solid 7.

I agree with Ebert's review, especially about not exploring the Predator's culture, considering it's a sequel which can give us something fresh. It's not a very creative film.

I've seen all the DBS episodes ...so far, and I still think that Goku and Vegeta are physically more vulnerable...but who knows?

That's why they're more interesting.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

That's why they're more interesting.

So far, I'm really liking DBS. The only thing I don't like are the new outfits, but other than that, it's pretty interesting.

I can't even get started on it. The more I read about it, the more I don't even want to bother. I didn't even see the last two films outside of the battle sections.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I can't even get started on it. The more I read about it, the more I don't even want to bother. I didn't even see the last two films outside of the battle sections.

Honestly, if you watch Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F', you can skip most of the first DBS season, and just start watching the episodes that take place after the last film. So basically, episodes 27-35. There's other stuff in the first season that you don't see in those two films, but it's not that important. I'd wait for the English episode if I were you because sometimes the Japanese episodes can be a bit repetitive and I wouldn't be surprised if the English episodes combine some of the Japanese episodes into one English episode...if that makes any sense.

Yeah I saw a good amount of the redone fights in Super so I could compare. I much prefer the films mostly, but I did like Goku's SSG transformation in the Anime since it's more fitting of a "God."

Zootopia - Incomplete/10

Missed the last half hour or so...it was just too intense for my 7 year old so we had to step out. I really liked what I saw though.

 

[GasparZizou]

Yes, he could have killed Dutch....because he wasn't a challenge either, just a trophy. Predator is a hunter....he's not looking for a real challenge. At least Dutch is more believable as an action hero, he's an abnormally muscular human lifting trucks, shooting bad guys and throwing knives at them while delivering one liners. I can see why a Predator might want to hunt him, but a cop in a city...meh.

Yeah, it's not like the first time the predator saw Harrigan he saw him recklessly driving to save to cops and then proceeding to kill a bunch of Colombians.

And it IS about the challenge, what do you think hunting for sport is? There's obviously an element of challenge.

We established? Noooo...you still believe he's super cop, but he's still just a cop, and not even a very impressive one, but it's fine if you want to believe that. In your mind he's also probably ninja along with the special forces thugs

So you're denying LA was crazy violent and in such a city he was the top cop? Then you are factually wrong. Whether you think Glover pulls it off or not, the movie clearly establishes Harrigan as the equivalent of Dutch in the city, if a little more reckless.

No, unfortunately I was awake when I saw Predator in a bathroom.

Literally nothing wrong with that scene.

Really? They're either confused or scared....wow...how original different from the first film. Such a rich...what was it...ah yes, dynamic.

Well, if you missed it you missed it, no point in trying to convince you when you're hell bent on not seeing it. You can clearly see when Jerry and Leona start developing a relationship and stuff like that.

I believe YOU want to see it.

That's what I said

No, that wasn't good enough. You said he had a "more describable personality" ...wut? He's scared and sweaty...that's about it. Then you went on about his 10 commendations and just saying he's a better character. Saying he's better doesn't make him better

You're reaching that point again where you start to ignore stuff I've already been through...

-obsessive compulsive
-reckless
-anger problems
-affraid of heights
-authority issues

No one remembers them...

Their loss

Don't answer my question with a question? What was so over the top about the character in P1? Danny Glover and Gary Busey are the kings of overacting Those characters live in a fictional over the top city...

No, you asked, what's so over the top in P1, I ask you again, do you really not see over the top? I'm not saying P2 is any less over the top, but it's baffling that you're asking me this.

What...now you work for the CIA? There's no way to know how good or bad those guerrilla soldiers were in P1, just like there's no way to know what kind of background those thugs had in P2...unless you assume things, but that doesn't count. Also,you are comparing real life cartels with some street thugs from a fictional city...so that should disqualify that comparison, because it's a different world, and we don't know much about it.

I don't work for the CIA, I just see that **** in the news all the time. There's countless guerrilla groups in the southern states, it's an open secret that the CIA most likely started some of those groups though, but you can see they're all poor, illiterate indigenous people with weapons that barely work, and it's also WIDELY known cartels hire ex-military as operators, lieutenants, and to train their troops, all cartels, Mexicans and Colombians alike, I am not assuming anything, I KNOW what Cartels and guerrillas do, not because it's some inside knowledge, I've read about it, and I see it constantly on the news, you don't seem to know what either cartels and guerrillas are at all. You seem to think Cartels are just cholos running around and Guerrillas are these well oiled organizations, it's the other way around, YOU are assuming things because you don't seem to know what these groups are.

I agree with Ebert's review, especially about not exploring the Predator's culture, considering it's a sequel which can give us something fresh. It's not a very creative film.

Who the hell wants to know more about Predators? Leave that **** in mistery, that's one of the reasons AvP sucks. Btw, it does give you just enough for you to draw your own conclusions, that's exactly what it should've done, nothing more.

And it is pretty creative, in the fact that it took it to the city, related it to voodoo superstition, etc etc.

I've seen all the DBS episodes ...so far, and I still think that Goku and Vegeta are physically more vulnerable...but who knows?

I haven't seen DBS, I do know Goku fought with a god and caused ripples in reality, that's quite a feat.

That's why they're more interesting.

Than Supes? No way.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Than Supes? No way.

I understand why people are drawn to Supe. But I thought the whole concept of him being pretty much omnipotent not appealing. I mean, how does anything ever come to a head on Earth when he's around?

At first it kinda bugged me Goku got taken out by a nothing laser, but I think it was humbling to see that even a God could die easily. Goku & Vegeta always striving to be stronger and better themselves always pulled me in. But I've actually come to like Vegeta much more the older I got.

Then you're not getting Supes. He's not omnipotent, there are plenty characters that can kill him, he's not more omnipotent than any other main character protected by plot armor.

Weaker Supes can lend itself to more convetional storytelling.

And more powerful Supes can lend itself for awesome sci-fi/philosophical/meta exploration.

Dragon Ball is good, but from DBZ and forward it's just 2dimensional puddle deep action, nothing wrong with that though, that's why I like Dragon Ball better.

I guess my biggest problem with him is that he's had too many writers and at any time can be written even higher than God himself. Plot holes and inconsistencies aside, I do like that the powers in DB have slowly gotten stronger over the years at a good pace with Toriyama being the sole writer behind it. I can't speak for Super since I don't think he's fully writing it.

Yeah that's the problem with any comicbook character, you need to pick the writers you like.

And that's also the advantage with mangas, usually only 1 writer/artist.

What's the base line main "canon" powers of Superman? I know he was nuts in the Silver age.

A lot of people don't understand him because of inconsistent writing from the comics and all the damn reboots. Batman has pretty much been the same since Denny O'Neil.

 

[GasparZizou]

Man, that's a tough question since right now, on DC everything is canon, every version is canon now, so instead of canon now, we have versions, earth 1, earth 2, earth whatever.

But basically, his power set is the same, only his powerlevels vary, right now, he's pretty much Golden Age, can't fly, has some super strength and vulnerability, but his regular power levels in current main continuity is that he can bench press the weight of the earth for 5 days straight deprived of sunlight when he regains his powers, that's probably what he'll go back to.

While it looks like it's too much, it's pretty standard when it comes to top heavy hitters, Shazam and Martian Manhunter are around the same, Darkseid is far above that.

Yeah but you can pretty much "get" Supes if you read some of his essentials, you'll be able to pin point when someone is writing him off-character.

This is the kinda thing that turns me off I just find it silly. I'm also jaded when it comes to Superman since I've seen the Reeve films so many goddamn times that I look at him as the mold for all the abilities of Superman (besides going back in time and the cellophane "S")

Really? But Goku right now can do so much more than that, I understand now he can create ripples in reality by fighting with another God.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I did see that little clip of that. The thing is, the DB series was never about physical strength and more about ki strength. They can destroy entire worlds with ease, and even more so now... but as for actually lifting stuff up? It's really never been demonstrated a scientific level. I wish they would honestly, since they're always only showcasing their energy instead.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Wait a minute... I'm wrong. I just remember Frieza punched the ground a few times and the Earth blew up

Still, it's not good enough to really register what they can really do since situations never really require it since they either are punching each other or flying through mountains after getting punched.
