Across the Kraven-verse: How Sony Won the Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread - Part 59

[DarthSkywalker]

I keep hearing how much better Ezra is in this film than their BvS/JL appearances, but I’m certainly not seeing it in the footage. This was bad.

The only stuff in the trailer that lands is the mom stuff imo.

As for August movies, 5 year old Darth is heading back to the theater!

 

[Moncton]

That was... what's another word for quick?

 

[Spider-Fan]

That was... what's another word for quick?

There is a good reason the title sounds like a laxative

 

[Sithborg]

That was... what's another word for quick?

Damn. Vin's going to recast everyone.

 

[Snow Queen]

Damn. Vin's going to recast everyone.

It's just going to be Vin Diesel. Crisis of Infinite Vins.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Damn. Vin's going to recast everyone.

You can't do that to family...

It's just going to be Vin Diesel. Crisis of Infinite Vins.

I can't wait for his collection of wigs.

 

[Pennywise]

Listen: Captain Marvel 2's Epic Theme Song Just Debuted

 

[Ninjablade]

It's just going to be Vin Diesel. Crisis of Infinite Vins.

Breaking News: The Rock to Reconsider Fast Reunion

 

[Nardz937]

Looks like they bought Keaton's beard from the same Party City as Woody Harrelson's wig from the first Venom.

I think I'm going to have a hard time buying that this is the same iteration from the Burton-verse.

He looks like Lloyd from the start of that abysmal Dumb & Dumber sequel.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

That was... what's another word for quick?

Wow, I audibly said “you can’t be serious” reading that.

I’m starting to question The Rock’s starpower now.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Wow, I audibly said “you can’t be serious” reading that.

I’m starting to question The Rock’s starpower now.

I think this says more about growing disinterest in these movies than the Rock. Yeah, him being in it leaked and all, but he's still a small part of this movie. People just had no interest in the 2.5 hrs before they see him as well

On the subject of The Flash…

Since the embargo going to be broken tomorrow. Here’s a thread where you can discuss the reviews:

Rotten Tomatoes Thread

I’m predicting a an RT score between the 60-70% range.

After weeks and months of all the shameless plugging and shilling on behalf of this film, critics have an opportunity to do the funniest thing

 

[Nardz937]

They gotta reveal it Hellboy style.

 

[Deck Rickard]

So Ezra is even more annoying here than in JL.

Seriously. “Young” Barry reminds me of some combination of Jar-Jar Binks and Marlon Wayans’ character in Dungeons & Dragons. Just awful.

But there’s NO ONE on earth that can play Barry but Ezra, you guys! Mainly because no one but Ezra could ever find a way to be more ****ing irritating.

Also, that fake beard in Keaton is hilarious. Can someone explain to me how ordinary people who do tutorials on Instagram can do better hair and makeup work than people working on $200 million movies?

 

[Detective Conan]

Hmm…

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Abominably low critic scores for big event films seems like a DCEU tradition at this point, so perhaps we have one last hurrah

oh the Twitter memes, I can see them now

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Hmm…

 

[Ninjablade]

Some of these seem overly dramatic in the opposite way of the initial screenings. Why is everyone's reaction to this movie so extreme

 

[Chip Chipperson]

It’s the closing curtain for the Snyderverse, the reactions were always going to be spectacularly over the top

been that way since 2013, why would it change now

 

[Spider-Fan]

These are savage tweets and I love it, lol

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

That reviewer got me with The Flush.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

“The film was utterly breathtaking, I could practically feel Ezra reaching through the screen to choke the life out of me” - Me

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Hmm…

Reviews belong to their authors. But it's really hard to compare a big premiere atmosphere where people are hyping you, with actual critics being asked to go to a normal theater to do their jobs.

There is a reason the Rock was hustling so much with Black Adam. To make every premiere feel important. To butter up the critics. And with this movie, they were setting up folk to call it the greatest thing since the Empire struck back.

Clearly this movie murders someone. It’s either your mom or your most-hated person. That’s the only explanation.

Or the question is more how you feel about your mom.
