The funny thing is, that considering the look of shows like Hannibal, Game of Thrones, Westworld, Mr Robot, Black Mirror, etc., that's actually a complimenthurr durr looks like a tv show derr these aren't real movies derka derrrrr
Off topic but: Judging by your avatar you're a fan, how is the serin terms of quality compared to the better stuff of Mr.Robot and Game of Thrones?The funny thing is, that considering the look of shows like Hannibal, Game of Thrones, Westworld, Mr Robot, Black Mirror, etc., that's actually a compliment
Oh, agreed. Very few movies are. What was the last? Avatar, through its CG and motion capture?
It's too early in the series/season to make a fully-informed judgement, but I'm really enjoying it. The cold clinical sci-fi mixed with the classic Western makes for an intriguing tonal juxtaposition. The central questions and the exploration of its core ideas of artificial consciousness are all very interesting and even come across as unsettling. It's high concept sci-fi with huge potential to expand into any number of directionsOff topic but: Judging by your avatar you're a fan, how is the serin terms of quality compared to the better stuff of Mr.Robot and Game of Thrones?
The only impression that matters is mine
Don't even pay him any mind lmaoHave you already seen the film?
That sounds pretty exciting so I guess this is something i should be checking out.It's too early in the series/season to make a fully-informed judgement, but I'm really enjoying it.

What he needs to know is that you're a charlatan.Yes

AY swiss knows the deal don't interrupt
No, he's ShrekWhat he needs to know is that you're a charlatan.
I love how Marvel lets folks talk about the movie damn near a month before it comes out
That Marvel Ego, it's planet sized

I see no reason to answer post like that.
I gotta tell ya, on a scale of Thor 2 to Air Bud I'm really hoping this turns out to be a Stealing Harvard.
All jokes aside, why is it such a big deal that people feel the need to point out that Marvel movies aren't high art? Is there no place for a solid, well-made, enjoyable blockbuster? I mean, I absolutely recognize that better writing is always welcome, and deviation from standard structure is nice from time to time, but you would think that after the shit sandwich that was BvS earlier this year, and a few other major league disappointments, that we'd have a lot more appreciation for the fact that Marvel movies are always reliably decent at worst, and great general audience blockbusters when they do well.
Jesus fucking christ. I thought we were done with this bullshit.

I think it's because of the hyperbole, both by critics and during everyday discussions. The nonsense critics and fans wrote about (the depth of) Civil War was laughable.
There's nothing wrong with Marvel movies, although I would hope for more experimentation. They're very solid, they're very reliable, but every once in a while you want something new.
I am still not sure whether Marvel get a pass or whether Zach Snyder is held to a much higher standard than other directors. The hypocrisy over Zod's snapped neck is shocking. I mentioned the fact Christopher Reeve In Superman 2 was smiling and did everything but "you can't see me" as he killed Zod and he mentioned how in the director's cut Zod was arrested. I googled around and I found no footage of this. Just people insisting they remembers it a bit like the Berenstein Bears thing. Then there's Zemo plan vs Lex, Bucky vs Martha, shit shows like Thor 2 and iron man 2 etc
Step carefully, Bleepey. A man can only take so much before he snaps.Haha
Never.
Most of the ones in the OP are pretty "nerd" oriented though
Has there been hyperbole from critics considering most of them never get past 70 and have the same criticism.
Nah. CW deserved the 7.5/10 average critic score it got.At least Civil War had.

Damn good movie.
It's a good movie. It's incredibly stupid and shallow, but it's entertaining and well done. I don't mind good reviews, but movie critics praising the movie for its depth and for tackling issues in a smart manner should probably consider changing jobs.
I think the idea that Marvel movies look like TV comes from the fact that they aren't color-corrected to hell and back in post like BvS or something.
People who tell others to stop working because of a difference in opinion should probably consider changing hobbies.
I can see that for the rest of the Phase 3 movies, but not IW and A4. The Russos are working with cinematographer Trent Opaloch again and pretty much every movie he's done have that documentary style ( District 9, Elysium, Chappie, Winter Soldier, Civil War).Originally they were trying to ground the film to reality and that results in documentary-looking films instead of the more stylish, arty approach most films possess. But that seems to go away slowly as they introduce non-realistic elements. You can see this in GOTG and soon, Dr.Strange. I think by the time Infinity War roles out, the film's will no longer bound to reality in terms of look and feel.
Which hobby in particular should I give up
Is that your general stance regarding such comments and does it apply to all professions and all opinions expressed? Which hobby in particular should I give up due to exaggerated comments about hyperbole?
People are free to consider Civil War a deep and thought-provoking movie if they want to, they are free to work as whatever they want. They are free to call Rob Schneider a genius actor for all I care.
You are just plain trolling or lying right? It took me 2 freaking seconds to google this and find it. I also own the cut with this in it. If you are gonna troll, put some effort into it.
I believe he's ribbing you for using hyperbole to insult critics for being hyperbolic.
Point of clarification though, critics did not by and large praise Civil War for being a deep and thought provoking movie. That's a revisionist history of your own making, likely in response to over enthusiasm by fans.
And before you chime in with saying Rogers/Stark was off his rocker and totally wrong, I challenge you to peruse the OT and look at some of the discussion. Viewers were absolutely split on who was right or wrong about the conflict.
Posting on GAF imo.

That's a revisionist history of your own making, likely in response to over enthusiasm by fans. Critics praised Civil War for making a blockbuster about an ideological difference where both sides were almost equally both parts valid and flawed. And before you chime in with saying Rogers/Stark was off his rocker and totally wrong, I challenge you to peruse the OT and look at some of the discussion. Viewers were absolutely split on who was right or wrong about the conflict. As much as I hate to do this, compare that with a movie like BvS where the motivations for the conflict are due to a, imo, absurd misunderstanding rather than an ideological clash. TBH, I was pretty shocked that critics didn't cling to supporting either Steve or Tony in their reviews and were able to consider both arguments in the film whereas fans were keen to obey the marketing campaign and choose a side. Civil War was absolutely ambitious in both its narrative and its set pieces which is something relatively rare for blockbusters. That does not mean it was high art or particularly deep.

The movie goes out of its way to pretend that both sides are reasonable, when at no point that was ever the case, barring comic book logic (i.e. fundamental imbalance).
Mentioning script issues and "not in my top 5" already in impressions that are usually overwhelmingly positive means that it's gonna have 85% on rotten tomatoes at the absolute max and no more than a 70 on metacritic
FYI only marvel movies to get over 70 on metacritic are iron man, GOTG, winter soldier, and civil war
