TSMefford 1,509 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I feel like the same people who end up liking this, also liked The Ultimate Edition of Batman V Superman, which I found even worse than the theatrical cut, despite hearing that it greatly improves it. More does not automatically mean better. Still looking forward to seeing it on Thursday, but it sounds like even people who liked it didn't think it needed to be 4 hours, which means this is gonna be a drag to get through... yaaaaay. 3 hours ago, Edmilson said: Here's the millionth trailer with some cool new shots (and a Green Lantern reference ) That shot at 1:11 is looking REAL rough.

Edmilson 7,384 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Considering just the Top Critics (which, of course, doesn't include these so-called "critics" from super-hero blogs), it's much more divided: 55% on RT, with 16 reviews Fresh and 13 Rotten. Not bad considering MoS and BvS had way worse reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMefford 1,509 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Honestly. I imagine it could have something to do with the fact that this is probably better than the Whedon version in a couple of aspects and it's getting elevated a bit for that. Plus, a lot of people want this film to succeed for Snyder, which is fair enough. He went through hell to get here and seems like a good dude so I wish him well on this. I just wish I liked more of his films. I don't honestly have many issues with his visual style, but the scripts bog these DC movies down a LOT. If I had to name the primary issues I have with the DC films, it's not the CGI, the Style, or the Direction: It's the Script and the Music for me. If Snyder were paired with far better screenwriters then I think he could produce far better films. In the end though, for pre-release reviews that's about what I'd expect. The really passionate people will probably see this film first and I expect it to go down a bit as it's released. If many of the other positive reviews are like the one linked above, then I think it's being elevated a bit just due to the fandom and hype of the situation. When I eventually share my thoughts I am honestly going to try and look at this film as it's own thing and have that set of thoughts and then discuss and think about the comparison aspect separately. Just because it's better / different than the Whedon version does not necessarily mean it's good in my eyes, but the reviews do at least make it seem promising that it's different and better than the Frankenstein we got.

A Hidden Life is for the most part, a beautiful return to form for Malick. And most critics agree, but yes, those other three films were misfires. Malick still has fans though, and I am cautiously optimistic about his upcoming Christ film. 37 minutes ago, AC1 said: But ... that was the best thing about The Tree Of Life!! Visually, perhaps.

To be honest, except for maybe some religious interpretation, I didn't really fathom the connection between the family scenes and the creation the universe. I mainly loved the latter on a audiovisual level and the way 'god' is presented to us (an interpretable god, that is). Okay, I admit, I also loved the dino scene.
