The latest superman comes out next week. Looks really promising I think as a good blockbuster.

Lex looks awesome. Not sure of the overall tone. Mostly it seems okay but there’s a hint of Shazam/Deadpool that I don’t think is Superman’s go.
Unironic heroism is hard to sell to a fairly cynical and jaded modern audience to be fair. It can come off as mawkish or pompous. Superman should be … nice.
Still, I’m liking the vibe here a lot better than all the Cavill-era stuff where they dressed him in black and tried to make him an angsty badass antihero. Nothing against Cavill as an actor, but the writing and direction just didn’t get Superman. You can’t deconstruct before you’ve constructed.
The animated My Adventures With Superman show is pretty light and fluffy, but it actually gets the character well.

Same with the Justice League animated shows.
While it looks ‘good’ from a Hollywood blockbuster perspective, I’d rather it be made like 1984 / Blade Runner or just a really dark mood. But they have bills to pay.
The final scene will be interesting to see if it’s ’too Soon’, and judging by the trailer they might actually go with it.

Didn’t know this was on the cards. Could be good on the big screen

Saw this yesterday. Not a fan
Had a couple of really cool action scenes but
Poor casting. Scarjo is so missed casted in this role. Doesn’t suit her at all( she has also become quite chunky). Ali is pretty wasted in the role. Only one who is good is the museum guy
Some pretty poor CGI, especially background CGI
Dialogue is woeful( I think David Koepp is a very overrated screen writer)
Wafer thin story- though that is to be expected
And some stuff that I won’t spoil
It’s better than the last to Jurassic world movies, but I would have it 5th best in the franchise

So disappointing. So many chances to make a really cool film with dinosaurs and they just go to the template. It should be utterly terrifying and alien, it’s just cartoonish and bland.

Mad Max Furiosa bad?
So much this.
It should have been the scariest movie of all time. More believable than any alien style movie.
The bit that always irked me (among others) was when they turn the electric fence on and the kid just gently falls off. He should’ve caught fire and been instantly killed.

how much coke does a studio executive have to do to approve his projects?
Nah not that bad
Hey Blitzers, I’m after a copy of the movie Rad. It was released in 86? And was about BMX. Has a bit of a cult following but I can’t find anywhere to stream it!? John Farnham was actually in the soundtrack would you believe. I remember watching it ad nauseam as a kid. Was hoping to reminisce!

When the alternative is James Gunn, all others can only be equally as bad.
That suicide squad thing though, that was criminal.
Essentially, only Taika Waititi should be put in charge of any of them.
Apologies for the bump, but agree entirely.
I wasted far too much time to be served that dross at the end.
I love shutter island. That and taxi driver are the only Scorsese movies that I actually really enjoy. Departed is ok, but not nearly as worth the hype as it got
I find most of his stuff pretty boring
