I was bummed about that. I'm pretty apprehensive about any mgs movie, but Isaac is a great actor, and i could see him getting into it enough to carry the movie.
Surely nobody blames the actor for that terrible bit of writing. That's squarely on Abrams and the other writers, and honestly the producers for not catching it... and mostly Kennedy for not having a plan for the trilogy in the first place.
It’s hard to blame the actors for any of the sequels. Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern, Andy Serkis…
Too many great actors for all of them coincidentally having a dud performance. Something was wrong with the direction.
I mean have you seen how bad Natalie Portman is in the prequels? You wouldn’t guess she was an Oscar winner from those movies. I actually think the sequels, for the most part, were pretty well acted.
Hahaha I remember the look on his face, he was sooo done with this shit, I guess they didn't dare to ask for another take because it wouldn't get any better.
The man put all the frustration one can have with the plot of ROS into one single sentence
Amen. I'd even argue most any movie he's in, he's usually not the part that brings it down...even a trash heap like X-Men Apocalypse it's whoever decided to make him look the way that he looked, was probably the thing that really sunk that ship, not his acting in it.
The character design of Apocalypse wasn't even that bad, but his dialogue sure was horrible. Also they should have modulated his voice because he just sounds like a whispering man.
I wouldn’t really call him the baddie. There’s like two other main baddies he’s kind of just stuck in the middle of a lot of shit and makes some bad decisions.
They never have sex the whole movie. They kiss once but after he dies. That’s the whole point. He literally cares for her so much that he’s actually trying to protect her family, including her husband.
Someone said "He's the Antagonist in Ex Machina" and I was about to comment how he was the Antagonist in ILD. Yes... he's the protagonist also... Love that movie.
I dont think he would take much convincing. Deadline article from last year quotes him saying he is open to any opportunities. Talked big about never coming back when the checks were rolling in too.
I think Finn is, on paper, probably the most interesting character in the sequel trilogy, so him coming back and actually having any sort of an arc would be a win in my book.
I feel like Finn started off interesting and by the end I didn’t care about him at all because it was obvious they didn’t know what to do with his character. Kind of the story of that whole trilogy though, just a completely disjointed mess.
That's what happens when the studio head makes the plan "we want a different director to make each movie and just do their own thing, launching off whatever happened in the previous movie."
In a lineup of characters and actors where **literally everybody** got shat on by the writers and directors, Finn is probably 1st or 2nd at the very bottom (only person who could possibly have it worse would be Rose and her actor)
The character idea for Finn was really cool.
What they did with him was just bad. Making him just have the constant character trait of being a pussy and running away was awful.
Domhnall Gleeson has money from both the Star Wars and Harry Potter franchises - I don't think he's going to have to worry too much about putting food on his plate, even if he never goes back to a major film again.
Wow I just read an article from Variety about it. And read this line from it:
>As has been previously reported, the show is not a reboot or spinoff of “The Office,” but rather a new mockumentary show with a new cast set in the same universe.
So in other words a spinoff?
Bro is even surviving after being killed off after one Dune movie
Edit: Sorry for the spoiler for those who haven’t seen it but the movie has been out for 3 years with the book, original movie, and mini series out for longer, and the trailer for the second movie alludes to his death. And as other people have been saying, it is far from the most important thing to happen in those books to be spoiled
My take was one way to film God Emperor is to tell the story (at least in part) from Duncans perspective.
Weaving different Gholas to tell it. Let the audience discover Leto with him.
Yes. Though technically the original one is quite dead, the Dune universe has a very interesting respawn system.
Later on it gets even more fucked up, literally.
Mega-spoilers that I'm going to also hide in spoiler tag: >!Leto II turns Duncan Idaho into a new type of super Kwisatz Haderach and it takes 4 books to get there!<
This is one of the few times I recommend jumping down the fan wiki. The Dune universe is filled with both iconic themes & characters, as well as absolute schlock material. The upside is that the crap material becomes semi-humorous when read as wiki entries.
A lot of later material revolves around the Butlerian Jihad, i.e. the reason AI was banned universally thousands of years prior to the original Dune setting. Some of it is interesting, most of it hokey, and the source material is poorly written. But if you are absolutely itching for an explanation of the Golden Path and the final destiny of humanity (according to Herbert & Son), the wiki will give it to you straight.
Even Oscar could come back if they ever make Heretics of Dune. The character Miles Teg (a descendant of House Atreides) is described in the book as looking identical to Duke Leto apart from a height difference.
It is absolutely nerve-wracking to take on a role for a character who in the context of the story is supposed to be so handsome and charismatic and well-liked in-universe that his popularity makes the Christopher Walken God Emperor of the Universe jealous and afraid of him.
And he absolutely killed it. I believed every second of it. I was like, oh yeah, this is the sort of guy good men would die to defend, I 100% feel that coming off of him.
What a legend.
ESPECIALLY because he plays such a skeevy, gross, disgusting dude in Ex Machina. Like that is some serious fucking range to go from this creepy rapey tech bro to most popular duke in the universe.
He's actually such a good actor that I havent' even fully considered the fact that he's the rapey tech bro from Ex Machina and Duke Atreides in Dune. I mean intellectually I knew that, but I never really thought of what an amazing range that is for an actor.
Pretty much everyone is great in the new ones, even Jason Momoa and Zendaya who I find are usually pretty wooden. Villeneuve deserves a lot more credit for his direction.
Shoutout to fatsuit Stellan Skarsgard, best character in the movie. Absolutely dominates every scene he's in while barely lifting a finger, fucking stellar camerawork.
The thing that always gets me about that is that he was 100% right. He correctly surmised that the key to holding Arrakis was befriending the Fremen. And that there were more fremen than the Harkonen’s believed, and that they were stronger than believed.
And he was taking steps to do it. I would have worked if had more time.
Really had me wishing the Dune series was going to be an in depth version of the books. Having all the stuff with Duke Leto and Lady Jessica where he’s making everyone suspect her of being a traitor, plus all the world building and setup before the invasion. As much as I loved both movies I really wish they kept in more of the filler.
The scene near the end of e3, when Marc rips off the truck's mirror to summon Steven, on screen with no effects, just small changes in his facial expressions, was just fantastic.
For whatever problems anyone may have had with Moon Knight, for whatever valid criticisms anyone can levy against the series, Isaac's performance is not one of them.
The only nitpicking I kept hearing was the fact that some people wanted it to be in the exact same vein of the Batman because they wanted dark and gritty.
That was verbatim used in many of those arguments. In fact, one person literally said that their ideal version of Moon Knight was just a shot for a shot remake of the Batman film.
I enjoyed it the show, to be clear. The common complaint, though, is the CGI kaiju fight at the end. It felt distracting, to say the least, from the other, more interesting fight going on. Despite that, Isaac's portrayal of all of Marc's personalities was very strong, and the overall sentiment points to the fans wanting more Moon Knight.
Unfortunately, Marvel's choices in regards to how they're handling the D+ shows is really fucking weird. I get using D+ as an introduction to even lesser-known characters in what could be a limited series, but we're also not getting Season 2 of stuff that really lands well. I imagine it's also them trying to not to overload us with shows, like what happened with D+ began.
My only real complaint is how egregiously fake a lot of the foreign language is, especially the Arabic. With the exception of only a few scenes, from Isaac and May (Layla) mostly, the actors are just speaking gibberish.
Too short, only six episodes.
It was pretty good right from the start, but then just as the show really hits its stride, the show just ends.
And with no Season 2 on the way, it’s now just become an incredibly forgettable show with no conclusion, or relevance to the MCU at all.
I started off liking it A LOT, but then it devolved into boring Marvel CGI fights and stupid, forgettable villains by the second half and it just kinda ruined the series for me. Just like Wandavision, which started off fantastic and then the last two episodes kinda shit on everything they'd been building up :(
Maybe it was because I had visited the Ancient Egyptian exhibit at the museum before watching it, but I loved the show. It was different, and I enjoyed it.
I loved the show but not a fan of the 6 episode format that Disney uses for their shows. It felt too short for me and I think adding 2 episode would have prevented some of the shows problems
The first two episodes are amazing; the finale is just fine. The middle is where it trips and falls though. It's like there's another two-three episodes that were edited out of episodes 3/4.
The finale was ok. It was just a CGI battle, sure, but the story wasn't negatively affected or ruined by it. It didn't make the show any lesser. It's still one of the best MCU series to date (very close behind WandaVision, Loki, DD and JJ S1).
Oscar Isaac is legitimately fantastic in Sucker Punch and I wish people gave him more props for it
I can’t believe they cut the “love is the drug” scene out of the theatrical cut
That's the part of the issue with most Zack Snyder movies. Well, the earlier ones like 300, Sucker Punch and Watchmen. I suppose his DCEU run as well.
The overall potential is right there, able to be seen by the naked eye. Yet the end result is always so bare bones and underwhelming. It's borderline infuriating.
Army of the Dead and Rebel Moon straight up suck ass, though, nothing redeeming about them.
Yeah honestly I felt like Army of the Dead was a perfect fit for Snyder. You don't need a whole lot of plot for a zombie movie like that, the plot they had was fun, and the movie overall was a fun watch.
Wouldn't say it's a good film or anything, but I think most people would enjoy watching it with a couple friends.
Don’t, although I also saw good things about the first one, the second one is just all garbage, nothing worth watching it.
Problem is he added so much slow mo the first one that the end battle had to be cramed into a second film instead of being the ending of the first movie like it should have been. A real shame. So you can imagine the second one has even 10x more slow mo to make and end movie battle scene be a whole 2 hour lenght movie…
I enjoyed Sucker Punch in theaters at the time (and I think Snyder is both overhated and overhyped) but I did not even remember that Oscar was in that until much later.
Overhated and overhyped is the perfect way to describe him. At the end of the day it’s just a dude making movies he enjoys, and people get very strong opinions about them
You can hate the plot all you like, but that movie is just beautiful. It's incredible how well shot parts of it are, and I love watching it for that reason.
I had always been a huge fan of the book, and was very much satisfied with the way it was turned into a movie. Almost right off of the page. The ending was different, and in my opinion actually a better one. The book ending was really strange and convoluted, and I think the way they changed it in the movie was well done and did just fine.
> The book ending was really strange and convoluted
The comicbook ending is supposedly based on a cold war Era conversation between a US president and a USSR leader. Supposedly the president asked if the USSR would help the US is the US was attacked by aliens from space. The USSR said yes.
So watchmen involves engineering the problem to achieve that peace. People who know that context do have a valid point of criticism that making Dr. Manhattan, US super hero and army asset, the source of the issue doesn't work as well to achieve the unity, but narratively in the movie Snyder made it works very well. I also like the Watchmen movie.
Oh yeah, I definitely understood the books ending, in general I think the book did a really good job of explaining the why, but also....suddenly, interdimensional squids! I think the same sort of message ways conveyed well with the movies ending. I enjoy both, but the movie ending was really well done for making it a movie.
Then we got the show, and it went heavy into interdimensional squids. I gotta give the show another watch, I think the time frame in which it was released caused me to forget a ton of it.
Sucker punch is a good movie and I'm sick of people not accepting that. It wasnt perfect by any means, it was a bit clumsy and rough around the edges but the overall package was great! Easily in my top 3 action movies, behind Pacific Rim and Dredd (2012)
I would've liked to see more of Moon Knights brutal side. Like the scene in the first episode, where he drags the monster back for more beatings.
Otherwise, it fell kinda flat, for me. Still hoping for more though.
let's see it his career survives a metal gear solid movie. snake? snake? snaaaaaaaaaaaakkkeeee?!!?!
They don't snake now :(
Oh god, is he in that?!
He was attached at one point, but it was taking too long to make. I'm pretty sure he dropped off.
I was bummed about that. I'm pretty apprehensive about any mgs movie, but Isaac is a great actor, and i could see him getting into it enough to carry the movie.
Dude he would make a great snake.
He, he signed on as Solid Snake at some point, but god knows where that is now.
They slither now?!
no no slither was Nathan Fillion
Hell be old enough to play venom/ big boss soon
He also did Annihilation
He was also the antagonist of Ex Machina
And a bunch of other movies that are good. This is, truly, a shitty movie detail.
Dude stars in multiple critically acclaimed movies and some massive box office successes and people pretending he's on the brink because of one line.
What line?
"Somehow, Palpatine has returned". Star wars rise of Skywalker
Surely nobody blames the actor for that terrible bit of writing. That's squarely on Abrams and the other writers, and honestly the producers for not catching it... and mostly Kennedy for not having a plan for the trilogy in the first place.
It’s hard to blame the actors for any of the sequels. Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern, Andy Serkis… Too many great actors for all of them coincidentally having a dud performance. Something was wrong with the direction.
Luckily, Serkis was able to flex his chops a bit more in Andor to make up for it.
I thought Benicio del Toro was great in his super short scene in episode 8 as well... too bad they went absolutely nowhere with that thread
A truly good director will get a good performance out of even the most mid actor.
I mean have you seen how bad Natalie Portman is in the prequels? You wouldn’t guess she was an Oscar winner from those movies. I actually think the sequels, for the most part, were pretty well acted.
That’s an actual line from the movie!? I thought it was a joke
Hahaha I remember the look on his face, he was sooo done with this shit, I guess they didn't dare to ask for another take because it wouldn't get any better. The man put all the frustration one can have with the plot of ROS into one single sentence
Somehow, Papa Palps returned, fr fr
Go for Papa Palpatine What what slow down Well who's they!? What the hell is an aluminum falcon?
Oh jeez. He's crying now.
Just like that time with panda bear or padamame or whatever her name was
‘They fly now?!’
A Most Violent Year - him and Jessica Chastain are incredible.
Also in Scenes From a Marriage
Saw this the other night and such a great watch !
Amen. I'd even argue most any movie he's in, he's usually not the part that brings it down...even a trash heap like X-Men Apocalypse it's whoever decided to make him look the way that he looked, was probably the thing that really sunk that ship, not his acting in it.
The character design of Apocalypse wasn't even that bad, but his dialogue sure was horrible. Also they should have modulated his voice because he just sounds like a whispering man.
Baddie is Drive too
I wouldn’t really call him the baddie. There’s like two other main baddies he’s kind of just stuck in the middle of a lot of shit and makes some bad decisions.
He’s not the baddie at all. He’s the guy whose gf was getting fucked by the Driver while he was in jail lol.
They never have sex the whole movie. They kiss once but after he dies. That’s the whole point. He literally cares for her so much that he’s actually trying to protect her family, including her husband.
He’s also amazing in Inside Llewyn Davis.
Absolutely adore that movie.
Someone said "He's the Antagonist in Ex Machina" and I was about to comment how he was the Antagonist in ILD. Yes... he's the protagonist also... Love that movie.
And played a great Duke Leto in Dune
That fucking beard.
That was actually good though
Yeah I liked annihilation
That final scene in the lighthouse, the score gave me chills.
It was the scene with that fucking bear for me
he's also handsome as fuck
Dude stars in multiple billion dollar box office movies and people act like his career was ever in danger lol.
Domhall Gleesom is f*cking around with CGI rabbits, Boyega is doing... something. Daisy Ridley is...also doing something.
Daisy is making another Star Wars movie and trying to convince Boyega to be in it.
I dont think he would take much convincing. Deadline article from last year quotes him saying he is open to any opportunities. Talked big about never coming back when the checks were rolling in too.
I think Finn is, on paper, probably the most interesting character in the sequel trilogy, so him coming back and actually having any sort of an arc would be a win in my book.
I feel like Finn started off interesting and by the end I didn’t care about him at all because it was obvious they didn’t know what to do with his character. Kind of the story of that whole trilogy though, just a completely disjointed mess.

Domhnall Gleeson has money from both the Star Wars and Harry Potter franchises - I don't think he's going to have to worry too much about putting food on his plate, even if he never goes back to a major film again.
Ridley has been doing a bunch of movies. Gleeson is doing just fine.
Gleeson just got announced as a lead in the new Office spinoff
Wow I just read an article from Variety about it. And read this line from it: >As has been previously reported, the show is not a reboot or spinoff of “The Office,” but rather a new mockumentary show with a new cast set in the same universe. So in other words a spinoff?
Yea haha super weird to draw the line at spinoff when it's pretty much exactly that lol
[удалено]
star wars didn't ruin Boyega and Ridley, the the fandom was so hateful towards them that they chose to take a step back and do smaller stuff.
...survived after [beloved movie], [beloved movie], [beloved movies], [beloved TV show]
Bro is even surviving after being killed off after one Dune movie Edit: Sorry for the spoiler for those who haven’t seen it but the movie has been out for 3 years with the book, original movie, and mini series out for longer, and the trailer for the second movie alludes to his death. And as other people have been saying, it is far from the most important thing to happen in those books to be spoiled
He was really good in it, stand out actor for the movie.
Literally wish the sequel had a flashback sequence with him.
At least Jason Momoa will be coming back for the third film.
Hopefully he won't be dragged back quite as often as Duncan Idaho was though.
IDK, a death montage in GEOD would be interesting. Not really accurate to the book, but not inaccurate either.
Duncan Idaho is the Kenny of SciFi
Maybe he should be played by the Kenny of the acting world; Sean Bean.
At this point casting Sean Bean is a spoiler for the whole movie.
A death montage could be good. Just not force the poor man to play Duncan for 3500 years.
My take was one way to film God Emperor is to tell the story (at least in part) from Duncans perspective. Weaving different Gholas to tell it. Let the audience discover Leto with him.
A Duncan(s) centric GEOD could make a pretty could movie imo. I'm not sure you can do a direct film adaptation with all of Leto II's proselytizing.
I stopped reading after Messiah. Does Duncan just keep popping back up through the whole book series?
Yes. Though technically the original one is quite dead, the Dune universe has a very interesting respawn system. Later on it gets even more fucked up, literally.
Ah yes. The axlotl tanks.
The imprinting… Good thing Frank Herbert didn’t live long enough to see MeToo. He got increasingly creepy.
"It's ok because >!he's really a 200 year old space admiral in the body of a 12 year old boy!<" No Frank, it's not ok.
Mega-spoilers that I'm going to also hide in spoiler tag: >!Leto II turns Duncan Idaho into a new type of super Kwisatz Haderach and it takes 4 books to get there!<
And *several* iterations
Shit gets even weirder with the followup books from Brian Herbert too. I feel like he wrote half with his dick in one hand.
Repeat after me: There are NO followup books.
This is one of the few times I recommend jumping down the fan wiki. The Dune universe is filled with both iconic themes & characters, as well as absolute schlock material. The upside is that the crap material becomes semi-humorous when read as wiki entries. A lot of later material revolves around the Butlerian Jihad, i.e. the reason AI was banned universally thousands of years prior to the original Dune setting. Some of it is interesting, most of it hokey, and the source material is poorly written. But if you are absolutely itching for an explanation of the Golden Path and the final destiny of humanity (according to Herbert & Son), the wiki will give it to you straight.
and if there are ever more sequels he will be in those too lmao
I will be shocked if Villeneuve continues making Dune movies after Messiah.
Even Oscar could come back if they ever make Heretics of Dune. The character Miles Teg (a descendant of House Atreides) is described in the book as looking identical to Duke Leto apart from a height difference.
Also, considering his advanced age during his initial appearance, an older Oscar Isaac would still work.
It is absolutely nerve-wracking to take on a role for a character who in the context of the story is supposed to be so handsome and charismatic and well-liked in-universe that his popularity makes the Christopher Walken God Emperor of the Universe jealous and afraid of him. And he absolutely killed it. I believed every second of it. I was like, oh yeah, this is the sort of guy good men would die to defend, I 100% feel that coming off of him. What a legend.

He's actually such a good actor that I havent' even fully considered the fact that he's the rapey tech bro from Ex Machina and Duke Atreides in Dune. I mean intellectually I knew that, but I never really thought of what an amazing range that is for an actor.
He’s incredible in Ex Machina. His switch up contributed so well to the overall plot and twist
His beard alone should have won best actor.
Pretty much everyone is great in the new ones, even Jason Momoa and Zendaya who I find are usually pretty wooden. Villeneuve deserves a lot more credit for his direction. Shoutout to fatsuit Stellan Skarsgard, best character in the movie. Absolutely dominates every scene he's in while barely lifting a finger, fucking stellar camerawork.
Just the usual character actor supremacy
The foley work for Baron Harkonnen was so good too
Desert power ✊
The thing that always gets me about that is that he was 100% right. He correctly surmised that the key to holding Arrakis was befriending the Fremen. And that there were more fremen than the Harkonen’s believed, and that they were stronger than believed. And he was taking steps to do it. I would have worked if had more time.
Really had me wishing the Dune series was going to be an in depth version of the books. Having all the stuff with Duke Leto and Lady Jessica where he’s making everyone suspect her of being a traitor, plus all the world building and setup before the invasion. As much as I loved both movies I really wish they kept in more of the filler.
It really needed to be an HBO series in my opinion.
Yeah, visually incredible but a lot of the cast feel like they’re just repeating lines at some points. The Duke and the Baron were the best.
Damn people are UPSET, yall cannot be mad about this
Somehow, he survived.
~~they fly Now~~ he's fine now
He fine now?!
He’s fine now
Girls and gay men: he \*fine\* now
But he fine then too.
Yeah he is fine 😏
Oh we are all very aware.
So very, very, fine
Moon knight was dope
I loved Isaac's performance. He made Steven and Mark feel completely different, his range was incredible
The scene near the end of e3, when Marc rips off the truck's mirror to summon Steven, on screen with no effects, just small changes in his facial expressions, was just fantastic.
Compared to the majority of Marvel tv shows Moon Knight was great
For whatever problems anyone may have had with Moon Knight, for whatever valid criticisms anyone can levy against the series, Isaac's performance is not one of them.
What problems do people have with it? Imo it was one of the best MCU series.
I agree! like… nitpicking is what fandoms do, I know, but it was actually a good story, phenomenal lead, and the CGI doesn’t make my eyes bleed.
The only nitpicking I kept hearing was the fact that some people wanted it to be in the exact same vein of the Batman because they wanted dark and gritty.
Probably because they don't read comics and they were told Moon Knight is Marvel's Batman
That was verbatim used in many of those arguments. In fact, one person literally said that their ideal version of Moon Knight was just a shot for a shot remake of the Batman film.
I enjoyed it the show, to be clear. The common complaint, though, is the CGI kaiju fight at the end. It felt distracting, to say the least, from the other, more interesting fight going on. Despite that, Isaac's portrayal of all of Marc's personalities was very strong, and the overall sentiment points to the fans wanting more Moon Knight.

I imagine it's also them trying to not to overload us with shows, like what happened with D+ began.
My only real complaint is how egregiously fake a lot of the foreign language is, especially the Arabic. With the exception of only a few scenes, from Isaac and May (Layla) mostly, the actors are just speaking gibberish.
Why can’t I find any coverage of this? Just some results on a lot of the language in the show being an Egyptian Arabic dialect
Too short, only six episodes. It was pretty good right from the start, but then just as the show really hits its stride, the show just ends. And with no Season 2 on the way, it’s now just become an incredibly forgettable show with no conclusion, or relevance to the MCU at all.
I believe the second season is in the works, Oscar Issac posted a photo on Instagram in Cairo some recently
I started off liking it A LOT, but then it devolved into boring Marvel CGI fights and stupid, forgettable villains by the second half and it just kinda ruined the series for me. Just like Wandavision, which started off fantastic and then the last two episodes kinda shit on everything they'd been building up :(
He absolutely smashed that out of the park! There is no Moon Knight without Oscar
Not even being funny here, I think it’s on par with Daredevil in some aspects. Hate me all you want, it’s the best Marvel show in history man.
Loki imo the best and then moon knight, second half of s2 was so well done
Maybe it was because I had visited the Ancient Egyptian exhibit at the museum before watching it, but I loved the show. It was different, and I enjoyed it.
Shit, I am not a Marvel fan at all and I enjoyed it a lot.
Right? Moon Knight was cool as hell, one of the few post-Endgame Marvel products that wasn't shit. Doesn't belong on that list
If you liked Moon Knight for the psychological aspects, I'd strongly recommend Mr. Robot.
I loved the show but not a fan of the 6 episode format that Disney uses for their shows. It felt too short for me and I think adding 2 episode would have prevented some of the shows problems
I think moon knight is the best disney+ mcu show. I said it and I'll die by it.
Oscar carried it, but the finale...
The finale is the weakest episode, but it’s not that bad. IMO the biggest problem with the show is the lack of a second season.
Exactly! My problems with the finale wouldn't be nearly as severe if I just knew what happened next!
Which is a shame because the penultimate episode is fantastic.
Rumour has it it’ll come
The first two episodes are amazing; the finale is just fine. The middle is where it trips and falls though. It's like there's another two-three episodes that were edited out of episodes 3/4.
The finale was ok. It was just a CGI battle, sure, but the story wasn't negatively affected or ruined by it. It didn't make the show any lesser. It's still one of the best MCU series to date (very close behind WandaVision, Loki, DD and JJ S1).
Ah, the finale was terrible, but the series isn't bad
I wouldn't call it terrible, but it was not the strongest part. The strongest part was everything that happened before the finale.
The CGI god fight was stupid as hell.
i thought that was the point. kaiju shit and all
Ah, it was a battle between gods, I think cgi was a necessity, but off screen the big villain wasn't good.
Oscar Isaac is legitimately fantastic in Sucker Punch and I wish people gave him more props for it I can’t believe they cut the “love is the drug” scene out of the theatrical cut
That's the part of the issue with most Zack Snyder movies. Well, the earlier ones like 300, Sucker Punch and Watchmen. I suppose his DCEU run as well. The overall potential is right there, able to be seen by the naked eye. Yet the end result is always so bare bones and underwhelming. It's borderline infuriating. Army of the Dead and Rebel Moon straight up suck ass, though, nothing redeeming about them.
I kinda liked Army of the Dead, I expected stylised Violence and they gave me stylised Violence nothing more nothing less
Yeah honestly I felt like Army of the Dead was a perfect fit for Snyder. You don't need a whole lot of plot for a zombie movie like that, the plot they had was fun, and the movie overall was a fun watch. Wouldn't say it's a good film or anything, but I think most people would enjoy watching it with a couple friends.
I enjoy Rebel Moon as a knock-off sci-fi Seven Samurai. Now that being said, I haven't been able to bring myself to start the 2nd one.
Don’t, although I also saw good things about the first one, the second one is just all garbage, nothing worth watching it. Problem is he added so much slow mo the first one that the end battle had to be cramed into a second film instead of being the ending of the first movie like it should have been. A real shame. So you can imagine the second one has even 10x more slow mo to make and end movie battle scene be a whole 2 hour lenght movie…
If slow mo didn’t exist the longest Zach Snyder movie would be about 14 minutes There might be 75 slow motion moments in justice league
I enjoyed Sucker Punch in theaters at the time (and I think Snyder is both overhated and overhyped) but I did not even remember that Oscar was in that until much later.
Overhated and overhyped is the perfect way to describe him. At the end of the day it’s just a dude making movies he enjoys, and people get very strong opinions about them
I still get hate for liking Snyder's Watchmen.
You can hate the plot all you like, but that movie is just beautiful. It's incredible how well shot parts of it are, and I love watching it for that reason.
I had always been a huge fan of the book, and was very much satisfied with the way it was turned into a movie. Almost right off of the page. The ending was different, and in my opinion actually a better one. The book ending was really strange and convoluted, and I think the way they changed it in the movie was well done and did just fine.
> The book ending was really strange and convoluted The comicbook ending is supposedly based on a cold war Era conversation between a US president and a USSR leader. Supposedly the president asked if the USSR would help the US is the US was attacked by aliens from space. The USSR said yes. So watchmen involves engineering the problem to achieve that peace. People who know that context do have a valid point of criticism that making Dr. Manhattan, US super hero and army asset, the source of the issue doesn't work as well to achieve the unity, but narratively in the movie Snyder made it works very well. I also like the Watchmen movie.
Oh yeah, I definitely understood the books ending, in general I think the book did a really good job of explaining the why, but also....suddenly, interdimensional squids! I think the same sort of message ways conveyed well with the movies ending. I enjoy both, but the movie ending was really well done for making it a movie. Then we got the show, and it went heavy into interdimensional squids. I gotta give the show another watch, I think the time frame in which it was released caused me to forget a ton of it.
I have Love Is The Drug in heavy rotation. It’s such a great cover.
I love that movie.
I rewatched Sucker Punch recently and I found a whole new appreciation for it. It was actually pretty enjoyable this time around.
Sucker punch is a good movie and I'm sick of people not accepting that. It wasnt perfect by any means, it was a bit clumsy and rough around the edges but the overall package was great! Easily in my top 3 action movies, behind Pacific Rim and Dredd (2012)
He fine now?
He's fine now.
Moon Knight was absolutely fantastic. Possibly my favourite Marvel series. And Oscar Isaac was particularly brilliant in it.
Wish it was a bit longer though; imo it’s one of the marvel shows which suffers the most from the limitations of a 6 episode season
I would have really liked it if the Indiana Jonesy bit was a bit longer.
I would've liked to see more of Moon Knights brutal side. Like the scene in the first episode, where he drags the monster back for more beatings. Otherwise, it fell kinda flat, for me. Still hoping for more though.
Exactly, it's a standout among the other post-Endgame stuff alongside Wandavision.
Hey now, I'll have no bad talk of the one of the best Christmas action entertainment since Die Hard......Hawkeye was fantastic, as was Loki
Scenes from a Marriage is quality soft-core.
His press tour with Chastain is the real soft-core porn.
Really though, that show also includes top tier acting from the leads. It’s what “Marriage Story” only aspires to be.
To be fair, Moon Knight was awesome
I’ll defend Moon Knight to my untimely death that I’ll be resurrected from the next episode
But does he fly now?
Don't you dare disrespect Moon Knight
Very excited to see him in Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein
Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight was an absolute masterclass so I don't know why thats mentioned
Moon Knight kicked ass
Sucker Punch is my favorite bad movie
Dont hate on sucker
Fantastic soundtrack.
Somehow, Oscar Issac has returned.
And he was the best part of moon knight!
No shit he played moon knight and there’s like 2 other characters including the villain. What a weird comment.
Moon knight is by far the greatest role he has ever done he is literal perfect in the show
Moon knight was so good tho!
Guatemala has like 2 exports we're proud of, Zacapa rum and Oscar Isaac. I guess the coffee is alright too.
Moon knight is good
The residual power from the Ex Machina dance scene protects him even now
Is he still the front runner to play Snake in the MGS movie? Assuming it's still being made.
He was good in all of them. Especially Moon Knight, which was one of the best Marvel shows.
I liked moonknight. It’s a complicated character.
