TMOS Reviews Thread - Non Spoiler Review and Discussion

They get paid money to watch movies. I don't feel sorry for them.

They need real jobs. Most of them are terrible.

Especially all these fanboy/blogger types.

 

[JonahNolan]

I heard most critics HAVE to watch the movies that come out. Think of all the painful romcom's, family movies, empty blockbusters, poorly written dramas, and TWILIGHT. No wonder they're so grumpy

How is that any different from me having a Netflix or Redbox account?

You defend hacks too much.

I disagree. I think you're being a bit dismissive.

Also, I would die, just die to get a job to watch movies for a living. If you're getting paid to review movies and travel to sets all around the world, then that's a job. A job I wouldn't mind having.

Here's your other problem, which is problem that people on the internet flip-flop a lot on.

If a movie gets praised by critics, fanboys celebrate. If a movie gets bashed, then fanboys complain that critics are out of touch.

Nerds uses critics as a gauge of convenience for their argument and it's a bit annoying.

Man of Steel: a lot to digest, but quite an awesome spin on the classic. Gonna have fun reviewing this one; the real fun is watching it roll

Avengers was extremely camp. The whole film is camp. I say this as someone who greatly enjoyed the First Iron Man and Captain America: The First Avenger. Whedon's cartoonish film was a vapid movie that relied on dumb jokes and special effects. It made billions worldwide because it was safe, crowd-pleasing entertainment. Same for Iron Man 3. No drama. No real tension. It treated an alien invasion like a dumb joke and an excuse to showcase TV quality special effects. I know it has a huge online fanbase among the comic book faithful, but it bored me silly because I didn't believe anything I saw onscreen.

Devin is NOT a real critic. He is just a glorified fanboy/blogger with a twitter account. You act as if he is some film scholar. I don't hate him. I just think he is disingenuous and a liar. He even wrote some silly essay on how Avengers box office success was proof that America was supporting hope over cynicism. He might as well be on the Marvel payroll.

I never said he's a film scholar. But you sir, are placing yourself above a person and then criticizing him as pretentious. Also, get a sense of fantasy-TA was never meant to embrace reality.

Booo this lady.

 

[Manosman]

In today's age, everyone is a critic. Even when they shouldn't be.

Thankfully, she isn't even a professional critic.

@bostonsusan418
Booo this lady.

I do not understand why she is complaining, most Comic Book Movies are long

 

[TheNextNolan22]

2hrs too long? So the movie should've been only 20 minutes?? Oh I'm so glad she isn't a professional critic.

 

[Manosman]

She's probably some artsy fartsy type. Not that there's anything wrong with that.....

 

[Octoberist]

She's probably some artsy fartsy type.

I don't think she's even that.

 

[Manosman]

I don't think she's even that.

Probably true.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Not even that. If she thought it was 2hrs too long, I'm sure she must've loathed The Place Beyond The Pines.

@RDPomin man of steel is bigger. I'm talking beyond scale, more towards depth.

She's not saying she doesn't like long movies. Just that this one wasn't good enough to sit through that long.

Also, he liked 'Man of Steel' because of the lack of feet.

Overall I enjoyed #ManOfSteel, but didn’t like liberties it took w/fundamentals—& there was no need to reboot, #SupermanReturns was great!

umm, no it was not great
