Mine is- the Marvel/DC superhero movies all but entirely ruined cinema.
You didn’t like the one where there was a bad guy and they fought the bad guy and then won against the bad guy?
Was that the one where a person/thing/object was thrown into a building?
Ohhhhh, yes, but I think you’re thinking of the other one. It’s the one with a few casual one liners.
Ahh yes. The one where the villain weaponized a glaring plot-hole and everyone was doomed until they figured out that they’d already covered this in a previous movie.
Where I wrote of MCU was Wonder Woman. I liked the movie and acting, but the story was so dumb. I called out the antagonist from the first time I saw him. The story was the same as all the MCU movies, I realized, after it:
Here's this unstoppable bad guy, here's the main characters getting their ass beat by the bad guy, here's defeatist attitudes that they can never beat the bad guy, main protagonist suddenly "believes" they can beat the bad guy, beats bad guy, and roll credits. Splash of some sort of callback end-credits gush scene, and end.
But Wonder Woman isn't MCU...
Does it really matter? They’re so interchangeable she may as well be.
Found Scorcese's Lemmy account
Agreed. Studios used to make loads of fun cheap films, now everything has to be a blockbuster CGI-fest.
I saw another comment saying it was a trend and temporary; that may be true but it has definitely ruined cinema for too long already.
Superhero movies are utter shit, and I cannot understand why people like them.
My only exception is The Dark Knight. And Iron Man 2, because I saw it at a tech conference pre-release and won a computer at the event.
The first Iron Man is good. For me it went downhill from there.
