Tired of people in superhero movies asking “what are you?”

I hate CGI. I don’t care what movie it is in or how well it was done, but I hate CGI, especially with how overused it is today. It seem to me like they use CGI even when it is not needed and using real life props and scenes would be easier and more cost effective. The only exception to my hatred of CGI is the LOTR trilogy. Very artfully done. I have also come to hate slow motion. I think that 300, and most action movies these days will average about 45 minutes if they take out all the slow motion scenes.[/quote]
It’s over used and so is that stop, rotating 3D shit in action flicks. You know when they stop and rotate the scene from another angle…Just because you found a cool new way to do something, doesn’t mean you should use it all the fucking time.

I am tired of superhero movies, period. Can we beat the shit out of that genre anymore? I can’t fucking stand them. Does anybody have an original idea anymore? Hollywood keeps retreading the same shit over and over…Certainly not worth $15 bucks to see a damn movie anymore.
Movies I absolutely hated but everybody else liked:
- The Matrix trilogy… I cut the first one off in the middle. That “deepness” seemed so forced it was just painful.
- Natural Born Killers… Just not that interested in killing.
- 300 - I absolutely hated this idiotic movie. I was forced to watch it at a neighbors house. He kept rattling on about how great and cool it was. To me it was fucking painful.
- The fast and the Furious… I don’t shit how many camera angles you have, rice burners with giant spoilers look stupid as fucking hell.

I actually agree with you on those… except for 300. I thought it was beautifully violent. Or maybe that’s violently beautiful.
When someone sees something shocking or hears bad news, and we see a slo-mo close-up of the glass or bottle the person was carrying falling and shattering.
Just set the fucking tea cup down on the table! Now not only do you have to deal with your neighbor’s dead body, but you also have to worry about cleaning up shards of glass.

Good list! Those are crap movies for sure. Although 300 was clearly stupid, I was actually entertained a bit.

Sounds like you may just hate movies. The original Matrix movie was the shit and was a pop culture phenom. I know very few people who actually truly hated the first one even though the sequels were all forced.
300 was also done well given that the focus was on the stylized approach to the story. This was a graphic novel held as one of the best written and drawn. The movie took that graphic novel and made it just as interesting to look at. Spray painted on abs may be ridiculous…if you could tell by looking at them.
Movies are supposed to be entertainment a way to escape reality and suspend belief.
Shit is not to be taken literally.

Damn, I was going to write this.
Same guy that directed The Watchman if I remember correct. And although I didn’t really care for the story in The Watchman I thought is was shot in an entertaining way.

Ill agree for the most part with this. While i understand why the first matrix movie was such a big deal given when it came out, trying to give it an unbiased watch in 2012 is a little difficult. The second one couldve been worse, and the third one was how bad the second could have been.
I also dont see why people loved 300 so much. No one else was annoyed by watching fucking 2 hours of slow motion? It had no depth or character development and i found the sepia tone art style just boring.
And yes i read the graphic novel, i understand the source material.
I don’t think it means he hates movies…he just sounds like he prefers substance over style.

Why not be able to enjoy both? Life is to short to be so fucking picky.

Pretending you aren’t defusing a bomb when you stop your microwave with one second remaining.

I have actually seen less of that. They still use the gimmick, but the clock will stop with 3 seconds left instead of 1. The 80’s pretty much ruined that one for life.
Slow motion is a distraction. A well-choreographed fight sequence would be more dynamic without it and if they’ve invested considerable time and energy into a scene, slo-mo actually detracts from it.
But…if they want to endow a so-so scene with a false sense of dynamism, then sm is the way to go.
super intense sex scenes. In tv and movies. Im not here to watch a porno. If i want to watch a porno it sure as hell wont be with my bro’s or my parents right next to me, all feeling the same uneasyness inside. Sex scenes are great, but i really dont need 5 minutes of actually seeing them fuck, dick shots, pussy licking. Imply it, dont disgrace it.

Damn Battleship sounds better now than what I thought.
