Romão 2,274 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Val Kilmer is a much, much better actor than Affleck, I think. That's something that really doesn't help these movies. I don't think either Affleck or Cavill are particularly talented actors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 He was specifically referring to Kilmer’s bored wooden performance as Batman in the 90s which is certainly not any better than Affleck’s Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The movie is a disaster. It's worse even beyond expectation. The dialog is horrible. The screenplay is non-sensical. Aquaman has zero plot function. He could have been written out of the film. The CGI on Superman's face is extremely unsettling and kinda nightmarish. I swear it's as bad as Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy. Gal Gadot is good. Beyond some Batman theme quotes, the score does not make any impression at all. This franchise needs to be put out of its mosey. Even basic film-making 101 is poorly handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher 350 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Nah, I still think Aquaman is promising. Just make solo films from here on out.

Nick1Ø66 4,722 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I haven't seen a single one of them in the cinema, and that won't change for this one. But I've enjoyed them all and I'm probably one of the few people who generally like the look and tone more than the MCU. They're by no means masterpieces, but nor are the Marvel films. They're comic book movies, and I adjust my expectations accordingly. Actually if you took away Tony Stark, who really is a great character, I probably wouldn't be interested in the MCU at all.

I never took you as someone who cares what the internet mob thinks. I think you've taken me too literally. I'm talking about the apparent pounding this movie has received in the professional reviews, which I've had flagged up to me by Google Chrome on a daily basis all this week, which I access via the internet (on my phone). Actually, I rarely read reviews and when I do I skim over them (even minor spoilers are my arch enemy - my one concession to the autistic spectrum). But the rule of thumb about mixed reviews often being worthwhile watches does not apply to this movie, I'll argue. Because by all accounts it is not receiving mixed reviews. The only other possibility then is that Justice League is the next Blade Runner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 For those saying they loved BvS, I am unable to decide whether this is better or worse. In a strange way, if I may say, BvS was a more "epic" film. It was terrible of course but Justice League seems like a "small" film. Justice League is also terrible because it is a frankensteined film. I had the uncomfortable feeling that I could clearly see which scenes were reshoots, which were cut short. It was like watching a rough cut of a movie. It just felt extremely sloppy. 5 hours ago, Baby Jane Hudson said: So just kill off everyone else and only make Wonder Woman movies with Gal Gadot from now on? This wouldn't be an unwise course.

Nick1Ø66 4,722 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Sounds like they should have brought on a Synder protégé, or at least someone willing and able to copy his style to finish it.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 A lot less heavy handed than the previous 2 Snyder did. Shallow and the plot is a bit of a mess. But the cast is good. Affleck's face changed with in some scenes. Looking thin and jaunt in one, then suddeny a bit puffy. They obviously CGI's Cavill's face in a lot of this. But hey, i had fun.
