Popular Post fastballspecial Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 Lets assume for a minute the movie is great. Then they need to fire whoever made the trailer because it hurt their business. theCapraAegagrus, media_junkie, D84 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 I wonder if another contributor is with the failure of Charlie's Angels to deliver a female-led team action film did this leave such audiences hungry for some that worked more effectively?

theCapraAegagrus Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Luiz must be smoking rocks again. You need VFX for almost every comic book character - because they do things larger than life. Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Aquaman speak for themselves. Things like Batman grappling, gliding, and beating multiple perps to a pulp also require illusion. You can't film Iron Man, Thor, or Hulk without VFX embellishment. It's ridiculous hyperbole. Possibly unpopular opinion: Only the 1st John Wick movie was any good. The 'stories' of the last 2 made them boring. If you don't have a good story to tell - then it doesn't matter how practical the fight choreography is - it's gonna suck. Also: The Raid is f^&*ing awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though one of the common China critics comments with Shazam was it was so practical in its approach, they felt it lacked the big immense battle that had become the norm for superhero films. ▫️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also the only way it could ever work today. Superman 1978 has a special place in my heart and that is where it will remain. bane, Bosco685 and theCapraAegagrus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's amend that further for a more positive and wholesome reading experience. 'A contributing factor to the excitement/reaction of this movie could be the fact the same female audience that was excited over Charlie's Angels leading to disappointment now feel as if BOP was the female buddy film they desired' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
