What’s up with the promo shot on this article–was Batgirl filmed in Detroit or is this from something else? Looks like he’s standing right around Milwaukee and Second there.
Edit
NEVER MIND, THAT’S FROM NO SUDDEN MOVE. I MISSED SEEING THAT AT THE DRIVE IN AND STILL HAVEN’T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY SINCE.
It’s Real
Not that I expect anything to be good anymore, but I can’t believe they’re going straight to the time travel / alternate universe stuff for the first Flash movie. I know the show was on forever so they probably think people are sick of the basic shit, but I still think “what if a guy was fast” is a solid premise for anyone with half an imagination. It’s up there with Ant Man in the list of superhero powers with obvious cinematic potential. The Quicksilver scenes in the X men prequels were the best part of all those movies. It seems so simple!!!
if you watched the snyder cut you’d have seen that they have already stretched this well far past its limits
When Flash entered The Speed Force got an oscar u_u.
looks like cursed motion picture “The Flash” has a scene with Nic Cage as Superman in it (making it the second movie to do so after Teen Titans Go to the Movies)
A whole movie of cameos is something I guess.
Nice to see Michael Shannon.
i just re-read dark knight returns for the first time in many years and it is fucking ridiculous how many panels of that comic snyder ripped off for bvs, which i watched again a few months ago. i’m sure he’s been very open about how he’s HOMAGING miller but it is really amazing to see this imagery in the movie without any of the context that makes it work in the comic. I hope he wrote frank a fuckin check lol
I believe you.
my dad kept mugging at me w a shit eating grin every time a new scene would start in the theater because i was getting so pissed off when i saw it for the first time
by making that post i was not recommending anyone watch the film to check out my claims,
it’s all good, your point is taken as it was intended.
What’s funny to me is that the Daredevil movie did the same thing basically, and was panned for it and about everything else. So what changed between then and now?
daredevil wasn’t directed by a guy people inexplicably consider an “auteur” i guess
Sin City, which I actually like, also frames damn near all of its shots as straight up stolen panels from the comic, but there it comes off as loving homage bordering on slavish devotion, like it’s clear Rodriguez is honoring Miller rather than trying to steal valor. Probably BVS is annoying because it isn’t a DKR adaptation strictly speaking, it’s half a DC universe setup goopfest and half DKR ripoff and the DKR half is cheapened by the cinematic universe crap half
Didn’t Rodriguez get some shit for giving Miller a co-director credit when he’s non-guild?
Then frank miller went on to direct that weird ass spirit movie
The spirit movie is amazing because as much as I’ve turned around on a lot of miller’s stuff it’s only aesthetically consistent throughout the opening credits and then turns into a horrible trainwreck. I’m glad will eisner did not live to see it lmao.
I’m not a huge sin city movie fan because literally every time people just copy frank’s homework verbatim for movies it comes across really…idk…shitty, including when he does this to himself. You cannot recapture these frozen moments in time in motion the way people think you can, even if you make everyone cosplay and say the dialogue exactly as it was written in the comic. The slavish devotion just makes it more hollow, like these guys are constructing a fucking wax museum entirely out of Frank Miller imagery. They strip all the energy and violence from his panels and layouts by turning it into just a series of frames. It don’t hit the same
i will cop to having enjoyed a few of zack synders movies but even i thought that sin city was one of the worst movies id ever seen. just my opinion!
alita was nice tho…
I figured this would be the standard opinion around here but that’s ok, I’m very comfortable being the only one who is correct.
IDK. The Spirt was a daring movie that Hollywood is just afraid to make. It is a failure, but it’s so daring and unique I’d rather watch it again than a lot of dreck out there. It’s visually interesting and honest with it’s intentions. Give me 5 interesting failures, over 10 more cookie cutter remakes or whatever.
The Sin City movies are great.
Again daring in what it’s trying.
Not for everyone either. More of this!
The Sin City movies actually look like a comic book, which is more than I can say for any other comic movie aside the Ang Lee Hulk and that one shot during that fight in the rain in the second Suicide Squad (and maybe those Spider-Man cartoons, I dunno I haven’t messed with those).
