No Empire Strikes Back?
Otherwise hard to fault that list

Hateful Eight over Django?
I could definitely squeeze it into the bottom group.
I burnt out on Marvel movies quite a while back, but maybe some respect to the VFX people and animators? They’re artists in their own right, who put in vast amounts of work for this sort of film and get no recognition and peanuts in pay compared to basically everyone else involved.
Maybe.
I hope that you recognised that it was a silly joke.
I like Marvel. And Pixar.

Yeah, I know it’s a joke.
Does make me a bit sad that these films are a huge % VFX and the VFX people get ripped off at every turn, and used up and spat out though.
To be honest, I don’t know anything about it and have never thought about it.
It’s funny, because CGI can make or break a film.
put some respect on one an industry melbourne is a leader in wimm.
It’s obviously not English.
There was a bit of a minor controversy about Marvels’ treatment of their digital artists a few months back. Big corporation abusing market power to rip off suppliers and brutalise the people doing the work - the usual story.

That’s a neat insight that wouldn’t be noticeable. But once you see these things they start to stand out, and become really immersive.
It’s why I liked 1917 so much, it’s been put together as one take, but it occurs over a day or two.
Whereas l have probably seen it about half a dozen times in all and love it each time. It is the template upon which all other action movies are measured. The ensemble cast is fantastic, with strong characters everywhere and many memorable performances. The pacing is timeless, as Kurosawa allows the story to unfold at its own pace. The final battle in pouring rain only adds to the drama.
there’s like 30 non-superhero and non-wog-boys-3 movies you can go and see in melbourne this week

I think Alex both does and does not have a point.
Yes, there is still plenty to see and Marvel is not the end of cinema.
At all.
By any stretch.
But by gosh, it’s galling to see Matt Damon and Anthony Hopkins and Jeff Golldblum and Russell Crowe caught up in this ■■■■.
And it is ■■■■.
At the end of the day.
They could be making a real movie.
Maybe even an action movie.
Imagine…
if you had a button on your kitchen bench that spat out $10,000 every time you pressed it, without consequence, would you ever stop pressing it?

Yeeeees, but you’re making an argument for people making money, not good movies.
That’s an argument for Alex.
The face of a stupid dinosaur franchise in a super hero francis?
Wow. That’s…quite the take there.
You’re…a beautiful person, but I feel like you got so caught up in asking if you could, that you forgot to ask if you should.
Okay, fine.
You don’t vibe with Goldblum.
Weird choice, but who am I to say?
Keaton went from Birdman to an obscure villain on an obscure spiral arm of the Marvel galaxy.
You can’t tell me there’s not talent drain going on here.
There really, really is.
Gyllenhaal was in Nightcrawler.
Now he is in Marvel films.
