>>220925909This movie looks pretty good in the trailers. I wouldn’t let some random reviewer’s opinion bother me, he was trying to compliment the movie anyway. Reddity types still open their mouths really wide for meta entertainment and probably always will. They like wink and nod crap, it makes them feel smart.
>>220925993Did you see the Skeletor clip? It's outright a parody
>>220926019No. I don't watch "clips". That's for redditors and the French.
>>220926019No. I saw one trailer several times over the course of a single baseball game. That’s it.
>>220925909>Is earnest film-making dead?yes. haven't you seen what happened with star wars after george lucas?
>>220925993>This movie looks pretty good in the trailers.That doesn't mean anything. Kong: Skull Island had a great trailer and that movie sucked.https://youtu.be/rV7KX3LsmTk?si=-lN6l5uiDU6XeCkx

>>220926244KSI was okay. Brie Larson was actually tolerable, you had to read IMDB to realize she was in it
>>220926019Skeletor being a goofball isn't actually a parody
>>220926409Everyone reacting to him as being a goofball is.

>>220925909I think that's more a case of lib reviewers being so irony poisoned they literally can't take any traditional ideas, fun, sex, or goodness seriously
>>220926431>equity>in storytelling I swear the internet has made the most illiterate literates
>>220926484When will the ironic millennial era finally fucking die off
>>220926431>movie goers have been asking for a film with more inclusionOh, have they? The general sentiment is that movies these days don't have enough diversity?
>>220925909Sincere doesn't mean serious numpty.
>>220927112It was decided by a vote at the last International Movie-Goers Summit in Quebec. If you didn't attend then it's your own fault for not participating in the democratic process.
>>220927728It also doesn't mean self-parody
>>220928078it can if original material is basically a parody
>>220928099Parodies can't be sincere by default
Well getting moovy opinions from ign isn't a good start
>>220926019>Did you see the Skeletor clip? It's outright a parodySkeletor: Evilyn? EVILYN?Evilyn: Well said, Lord Skeletor.Chill daddy: what the hell is even that?

>>220928133One Punch Man is sincere.
>>220926417Oh great. Another quirky villain.

>>220926019Buddy the movie is 100% reddit
>>220928424It’s a children’s movie right? I don’t know about the rest of you guys but I’m looking at this movie through the lens of “is this good or bad for my sons to watch”
>>220925909>part DeadpoolWay to not sell me the movie.
>>220926397No it’s not okay. It’s fucking garbage.
>>220928761You probably don't want your sons to watch Reddit: The Movie, unless you want them to become redditors.

>>220926364>No OrkoWait, are you actually trying to get me to watch this?Fuck Orko. But seriously, fuck they/them-Man
>>220929477They're not paid exclusively to post, it's just another task added to their misery without a pay increase.This happens every time a new movie is released. Threads like this one will be posted every day for the week leading up to the movie and then, nothing. No discussion of the film. Just accusatory OP questions like, "Why did you guys let this movie fail?" and the filenames of the OP post are always a telltale sign of a shill lazily copy and pasting a script.
>>220928259>"JUST TURN YOUR BRAIN OFF AND ENJOY!"Seriously, people who unironically say this need to be ridiculed. That means your film is meant for retarded people. Nobody needed to turn their brain "off" for the original Star Wars trilogy, or for The Neverending Story, or E.T., or The Goonies, etc, etc, etc. If your brain needs to be "off", you're consuming GOYSLOP, and if your brain even has an "off", you're an NPC, and did you even remember to turn your brain back ON afterwards?
>>220925909Dreamworks animation also killed sincerity.
I wouldn't touch this shit with my ten foot pole. Wakka Wakka
>>220928761>but I’m looking at this movie through the lens of “is this good or bad for my sons to watch”Do you want your sons to comply with HR mandates of putting their pronouns on their name tags? Yes or no. This was in the trailer, how much more hand holding do you require?Furthermore, how many shows start out harmless enough them ramp up the faggotry in sequels/next season? How'd that Joker sequel work out for its fans? How'd The Boys go after season one?Man up, buy a nice 4k home theater, and play the classics for them instead. Let them watch the original Jurassic Park or something. Avoid the goyslop.
>>220925909Did people somehow forget that Master of the Universe was always really fucking silly?
>>220926431>movie goers have been asking for a film with more inclusionWhatever you say, Mr. Fink.
>>220929600Shrek was a nuclear bomb for the animation industry. 25 years later and it still hasn’t recovered.
>>220930224B-b-but it was dark and serious guys!https://youtu.be/Bonti5yj-Mg?feature=shared
>>220925909I think the problem of this movie and all movies like this is that it was based on a cartoon for children with primary goal to sell physical toys. These movies, on the other hand, are made for 30+ yo millenials who suppose to eat the nostalgia bait and that's literally the sole target audience and sole marketing strategy. If they would make a normal children's' action film it would be a lot more successful and marketable, but everyone in the Hollywood is a nepo hack with no competence or even basic skills, not even talking about the talent at all here
>>220930224it was silly in a serious way.look at this shit. they keep "hanging the lantern" on it. it's made for the marvel audience.https://youtu.be/ggJ7UtddIvo
>>220930487this is the most AI generated CGI I've ever seen, very hard to believe it is a multi-million dollar budget product. holy shit we unironically live in dark ages of media. it's like they are purposely trying to avoid hiring anyone with talent. it's so souless and mediocre
>>220930414>linksoul>>220930487>linksoulless
>>220925909So is it worth watching or not? There's one screening left in two hours. I need to turn my brain off and distract myself real bad right now, so I'm willing to lower my standards and consume just about any shitty flick right now, so long as it's not dreadfully boring.
>>220929564Well put. The saturation of "the reddit/marvel formula" with so many movies is a very real concern regarding quality of the product and the capabilities of its designers. When every adaptation, every movie, and every franchise reflects the same template lazily repeated, with the same lazy excuses and dismissals repeated in defense of slop, then it should be no surprise that the criticism will be scathing.
>>220930604>I need to turn my brain off and distract myself real bad right nowYou pitiful little NPC. You cry so hard you NEED goyslop in your life. What an absolute loser.
>>220930631>"the reddit/marvel formula">the same template lazily repeatedyup. I tried to give the MCU a chance, but it was SO fucking poorly written and just utterly lazy. Watching Banner literally nerdgasm over Stark's lab and tech toys only to then say how he's "ALWAYS" angry despite the film literally demonstrating the opposite, the laziest hack in all of filmdom with "Jarvis, invent time travel", and things like Starlord in GOTG2 throwing himself at every woman yet suddenly having massive one-itis for Gamora when it's plot-relevant is just absolute slop-tier filmmaking where you literally need your brain "off" to forget what you just saw earlier in the same fucking film. They can contradict themselves all they want to because they count on the idiocy of their own audience. God, Marvel-slop really wrecked the normies expectations of what good cinema should be.
>>220930487I see what you mean. All the moments of pausing and basically looking at the viewer and going "hey, we're aware of how silly this is!" in stead of just letting it happen.
>>220930224Oh so it HAS to be, but only according to an arbitrary criteria that magically a priori invalidates any critique of the product.People can still criticize lazy writing without comparing the source material (which totally wasn't toned down for the kiddies) to the movie presented.
>>220930414That's still trash.
>>220930870I never said it HAS to be. I just stated that it was a silly show to begin with so it shouldn't be a surprise when a follow up on the same property is also silly you pedantic retard.
>>220930604You want to watch a shitty movie but don't want to be bored? Good luck with that. To answer your question, no. Not worth it. I was a member of a test audience and the majority of us were, and still are, unimpressed.
>>220928761let me help you out, it's bad for them to watch unless you're a redditor father
>>220930737To add to this, studios are not learning from their mistakes. Whenever a production does not do well, no accountability is taken publicly. The failure becomes a tax write-off for the studio and the movie made for the ever ambiguous "modern audience" that failed to entertain get another coat of paint and released again but with a false "this time it WILL wirk" confidence behind it. Also what is with the lack of interest being blamed on the general public who didn't want to see something instead of the product itself? Whenever I see that it's amusing yet frustrating.
>>220930919>I never said it HAS to beYou implied it enough to warrant my response you pedantic retard.
>>220925909>GunnI would say that Superman was, in large part, fairly sincere, which was nice to see.
>>220925909Parts of it were sincere, most of it was irony poisoned. I wouldn't mind it for a few gags but half the fucking movie is going "uhh, that's weird huh?".>>220926019Skeletor was the best part by far.
>>220926397Brie was so damn hot.
It actually hurts to see those clips. The amount of budget that they burned on what's essentially a big joke. Tapping you on the shoulder every scene, "look how silly this whole thing is."Fucking imagine if they used the same money on an earnest film. I know MOTU is for kids or former kids who are now boomers or whatever. Fuck it. Imagine if they gave that money to someone who wanted to make an honest story with real heroes and villains and a mythological feel, something that took itself seriously. Something that Milius would have directed. Archetypical. Honest. Fantasy movies are so goddamn expensive and that's why they don't get made. Wasting this studio budget on a big ha-ha-how silly genre parody, dripping with meek Woody Allen type self-awareness is a tragedy. Just make a real fantasy movie, please. I'll go see it.
>>220926484>you aren't supposed to explain the joke>but kids are dumber than ever >true truePretty much.
i literally just watched it. it's fun.
>>220928259>>hero is expected to be the hero, but his ass always gets saved by "le strong, always right, female side character"Thankfully that stopped by the time Adam used the sword. But her character somehow got worse after that. Before she was tomboy childhood friend, after she's friendzone sidekick that isn't even that strong.
>>220931101It certainly wasn't. It felt like cynical parody of Superman movie.
>>220931624You don't understand what cynicism or parody mean.
>>220931745Gunn never made a sincere movie in his life.
>>220931019>To add to this, studios are not learning from their mistakes.I mean, they DID run out all of the capable White males, so, yeah, no surprise here.
>>220925909Can this please be good?I want something genuine to watch for once. I've not been to the cinema for YEARS and all the slop I see isn't even worth pirating.
>>220925909More false advertising to try and get guys to show up>>220926431Taking a toy franchise for boys and turning it into what that commenter describes is Travis Knight's whole shtick. I fully believe it
>>220925909>>self-parodydid the original works try to portray things in a serious tone? no? they were campy and ridiculous? then i doubt that this is a "parody".
>>220934151It's possible to fuck up camp and just come off as parody or just stupid. Look at Schumacher's Batman movies
>>220929564while you're mostly right, what they mean is that you need to enter into it with the right expectations. if you go in expecting thought provoking storytelling and deep insights into the human condition, you're going to be disappointed and have a bad time. but if you go in expecting whiz-bang-boom, you get what you paid for. the part that you get wrong is that some people simply enjoy the spectacle of fireworks. being a pretentious autist and decrying fireworks because "wheres the value? why doesnt it challenge me? wheres the depth?" is wrong because you're bringing that criticism to the wrong genre. not all film fits that. some of it is just spectacle, like fireworks, and some people enjoy it for what it is, while finding cerebral stuff elsewhere.
>>220928259explain how the originals werent like this.
>>220934211ok, like, old bond is campy, and austin powers is a parody. but also, a lot of old bond is pretty fucking stupid. i dont think that theres a line between campy and stupid, as much as there is a venn diagram overlap.
>>220926431>A must see for any human being looking to have a good timeIf that doesn't perfectly encapsulate how and who movies are made for now
>>220925909Who said a self-parody can't be sincere?
>>220934314the originals were like this, too? no wonder fags love it.
>>220934854im genuinely asking. im only going off of vague childhood memories (i remember thundercats a lot more) but i remember he-man being goofy and eclectic as shit. like just LOOK at the characters and names. this was in any way ever not goofy as fuck?
