Happenstance Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 Just read IGNs review: http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/117/1175316p2.html Another one that doesnt like it. If there had been a bit of a mixture between people liking it and not then I might have felt better but its just starting to look like everyones original thoughts that it looked crap after the first trailer was shown were well founded. Of course I will still go see it and hope to enjoy it but a lot of my excitement for the movie has disappeared. Shame for DC as well, this was their chance to branch out past Superman and Batman.
Paj! Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Reviews are meaningless, anyway. Not really. --- Still not interested in this. Less so now I know it'll probably be crap. This could be a big flop.
Daft Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Well, I'd rather be surprised by a shit film than let down by a good one.
Retro_Link Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Think I'll wait to see this on DVD... after having seen Thor I want a bit of a Comic Book movie break before Captain America next month!
ReZourceman Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Think I'll wait to see this on DVD... after having seen Thor I want a bit of a Comic Book movie break before Captain America next month! Seriously, do you want a fucking slap? Please go see this at the cinema, it needs every ounce of money it can get. Please. Cap is agggeesss away, over 6 weeks. Pwease.
Happenstance Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 Empire doesnt seem a fan either: http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/review.asp?FID=135354
ReZourceman Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I'm going to be annoyed if this really isn't that good, because it wouldn't have been difficult to make it good. Just follow Secret Origin and laugh all the way to the bank.
Happenstance Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 So does a man dressing up like a Bat to fight crime
ReZourceman Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Or a douche going into a computer with shitty lights everywhere. (LOLOLOL)
Daft Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Even Tron has an internal logic to it, though. A really purddy one. So does a man dressing up like a Bat to fight crime Yeah, but he's still human without silly powers (albeit a really quite unhinged one). I'm still super looking forward to this. Haters gonna hate. And lollers gonna LOL (dat's meeee). Edited June 15, 2011 by Daft
dazzybee Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Well, I'd rather be surprised by a shit film than let down by a good one. Exactly, expectation determines all judgement on films (well anything I guess). The amount of times I've been disappointed by supposedly great films and then pleasantly surprised by seemingly dross... The thing is, with the internet and that damn curiosity and impatience getting in the way, it's proving ever more difficult to stay objective! This looks terrible in every way so hopeful it'll be the latter!
Retro_Link Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Yeah, but he's still human without silly powers (albeit a really quite unhinged one). All you have to believe is that there are other things in the universe! Anyway Rez, I know you want people to support it, understandably... but means paying to see a bad film!... that IGN review made it sound pretty awful, and the trailers have given a lot away anyway.

ReZourceman Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 AICN who I trust, one review up from them at the moment (didn't read it due to spoilers, so just read the first paragraph), it said that it starts off "terrible" and is for a large chunk but gets really good/amazing at the end (paraphrasing). I still have hope.
mike-zim Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I will be seeing it at the Cinema. Dont care for reviews. Daredevil got poor reviews and i loved it. Electra the same and i loved that too! (perhaps it was cause she is fit)
The Mad Monkey Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Oooops, looks like I upset one of my Facebook friends by making a comment about how bad the film looked, turns out the director is their godfather.
Daft Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I don't think it will be surprisingly not shit but I'm going to cite Sucker Punch, because I thoroughly enjoyed it. Then again, this isn't really anything like Sucker Punch.
ReZourceman Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Sucker Punch was fucking amazing. And funnily enough, I just this second (before thread) changed my background from Sucker Punch to GL.
Dan_Dare Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Even in the brainless world of cinematic comic books gone bad, it's as bad as it gets -- a dumb, pointless, ugly, moronic and incomprehensible jumble of botched effects, technical blunders, and cluttered chaos. Yeeesh! I have a lot of love for GL but this looks rotten. Ah well, at least Marvel know what the fuck they're doing. If Captain America sucks I might cry.
Daft Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I like the Marvel films but there's something strangely contrived about them. I guess the upside is you generally avoid stinkers but never really rise to any height whereas DC produce mostly utter garbage with a few stunning exceptions like The Dark Knight, Watchmen and The Losers.
ReZourceman Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Pffft, you can't count those. (I know the DC logo appears but...its different). If DC get Watchmen and The Losers, then Marvel is credited Kick-Ass. Stun.
Daft Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Uuuurm. Sure. If you must. Did Marvel produce Kick Ass? I'm talking about who produces the film not who's universe/IP it is. It's about the risk within the film industry, not the comic industry.
ReZourceman Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Well DC didn't produce either of those movies. LULZ.
Daft Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Their wiki pages say DC Studios and DC Entertainment respectively. And Waner Bros who own DC.
