I've finally seen John Wick: Parabellum. Was rather mediocre compared to the previous two. I don't know how long they're going to drag this out as it's getting tiresome pretty fast and they're starting to run out of ideas (some scenes were straight out of Kiss of the Dragon).

Toxic comic book movie fandom is hinted at back in 1982. Comic book movies attract zealots and dogmatists... even the 1st two big budget comic book movies ever made.

This is a brilliant interview with Christopher Reeve. Reeve takes some heavy shots at Marlon Brando.



I think i first noticed the toxicity of avid fans after Spiderman3. I went on opening night and I thought it was ok with some silly//corny moments. I was then labelled by some hardcore Spiderman fans as a "sell out" for not calling the movie the total piece of trash "everyone" knew that it was.

Well... Spiderman 3 had some very, very bad stuff in it. That dance scene is probably one of the most memorable in all of movie history, for all the wrong reasons .

The sandman villain was really poorly written. He shows up with a sick daughter and then looks directly at the camera and says “I’m not a bad person” before doing only bad person stuff that is in no way related to his goal of paying for her medical treatment.

You can’t just have the guy tell us that he’s tragically misunderstood, especially when he appears to be pretty clear on using his powers for evil.

I'd say Superman's drinking problem and the scene of him hunched over a barstool with a glass of hard liquor in front of him in some scummy greasey sports bar was worse.

Superman 3 and Superman 4:Q4P were much worse comic book movies. They killed the Superman movie franchise. It was 19 years before another Superman movie was made. Spiderman3 harmed the franchise somewhat, but it wasn't the "death blow" that these 2 Superman movies were.

Just came back from watching Dark Phoenix. After seing all the negative reviews, I went in with low expectation and was surprised how enjoyable the movie was. I loved the plot focus on the character relationships and the overall dark atmosphere. The fight scenes were extremely well done, and surprisingly brutal (I mean, relatively brutal, given how I've grown acustumed to the disney marvel movies).

The movie has it's flaws though. I'm not convinced on the ending + Show Spoiler +
like, she forgives Xavier, figures works out her self-loathing, and her new powers ... then realizes it's too dangerous to stay? I dunno, I thought it was a fine set up to her taking the phoenix powers and using it for the X-men, which would allow them to, two or three movies down the line, do the dark phoenix saga for real
, and I wasn't convinced by Magneto's characterization + Show Spoiler +
changing from peaceful to vengeful on a dime after hearing about Mystique, then changing back just as quick after hearing Beast's speech
.

Anyway, I found this movie miles ahead of x-men apocalypse, and more fun than the last few superhero movies I've watched (captain marvel and avengers endgame). Too bad this x-men crew is no more given the disney aquisition.

Oh i saw that with my dad on Tuesday, i thought it was the best Spiderman film for me, very good story and very good visuals and plot. Was defo a bit PG13 audience vibe but i feel it was very good take on Spiderman.

I dont know if I am crazy but seriously on rotten spiderman has a 90% score and a 96% audience score and a user here puts it at 9/10 and pandemona says its the best spiderman film for him.

So years ago when movies like the matrix and LoTR came out which were phenomenal and 10 out of 10, spiderman gets a 9 meaning thats close to epic movies like these. Im not saying spiderman was bad but it was okish. as Pandemona said it was more of a 13y old would love to watch. I am now 34 I cant be impressed by this kind of acting/plot. I mean the whole story was ridiculous and after watching 30mins of it you can tell whats going to happen, its so obvious.

Enough with the rant. I am very sorry but I am really dissapointed with how movies are being scored to famous movie review sites and youtubers and forums.

To achieve a 100% RT score you only need to be “thumbsed up” rather than “down” by reviewers. To get a thumbs up, the movie reviewer basically has to decide that it doesn’t have any obvious flaws and kept their attention in a very minimal way. They would recommend it to most people as better than an average film chosen at random. That is, individual reviews are not “weighted” — if 10 out of 10 reviewers give it a 6/10 it would get a 100% rating. If a more challenging movie gets a 10/10 from 8 reviewers and 2 reviewers simply didn’t like it (eg 4/10 or “not worth seeing for most people”) then it will only get an 80%.

From this you can conclude that if a movie has an exceptionally high RT score it is probably bland and inoffensive with no obvious flaws.
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

IgnE explained it well, RT score isn't a simple average of review scores.

It has a mathematical similarity to gerrymandering and favors slightly above average movies at the expense of more challenging, more divisive films which provoke a strong reaction.

I agree with what you're saying you are entitled to that opinion just the same way everyone else is and it isn't a perfect movie but for me it seemed to be perfect for a Spiderman movie. I think for me the portrayl of this Spiderman suits and reminds me of the cartoon version because he is goofy but i guess being a teenager means its a bit poor theme wise for anyone above 25, even though im 28 and enjoyed haha.

I highly disagree with this take. A 9/10 on rotten tomatoes is not the same as a 9/10 rating over all and I can understand how it overvalues above average movies and buries blow average movies but it does a lot better at cutting through a lot of the garbage movies that were in the past with other ratings systems.

That the majority of people don't want to watch movies that are made to make them feel worse shouldn't be a surprise.

Heres a pretty hot take. The lion king is going to be a terrible movie, The animals are going to be ugly and the songs are going to be extremely offputting with the lipsyncs.

Can't see it, i see Lion king destroying the box office charts comfortably, every generation seems to be connected to that movie, even the current generation. Watching the trailer during Spiderman it looked very good in terms of being aesthetically pleasing. As long as they have not changed anything of the story i can't see it not being the biggest film ever.

I hated the first lion king so no reason to like it now.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.
