Jeez Netflix is really somethin, I think you should be fair when doing these things and not taking control, thats pretty sad ngl

O MY GOD
NETFLIX MADE A MOVIE OF DEATH NOTE!
OMG

tbh I stopped watching death note the anime because I lost interest when one of the characters died and light was just too much for me

(I looked it up sheesh the rating are horrible a 1.8 my god)

I expected something entirely different from what I got when I saw it. I wanted to see the norse gods in an epic struggle, instead all I got to see was...a bunch of oddball humor xD (which I like...just not in the way it was presented in that film.)

But really the biggest issue for me was how Hulk was handled in Thor Ragnarok. They made it seem in the trailers like there would be some homage to the Planet Hulk storyline from the comics, which is one of my favorites. Greg Pak's writing in that era of Hulk's continuity was really good.

BUT... Instead what the movie presented was a couple watered down cosmetic cameos, and a Hulk that was little more than a toddler in how he was written. Whereas the Hulk I know and love is an extremely complex character. (And during the Planet Hulk saga...he was actually pretty intelligent.)

I know a lot of people like the movie, and more power to them. But for me it just signified that the writers didn't do their homework on Hulk as a character and just downplayed him for some chuckles. And then in the following movies basically neutered the character of both Banner and Hulk.

That and...well I heard Ragnarok and I got some really powerful images of bad ass battles. Most of the fights in the movie were just...boring. Though...Ioved Cate Blanchett as Hela. She rocked that role, and the whole Valykrie scene was really cool and epic. It's just a pity that the rest of the movie didn't keep that tone.

:sweat_02: got a little carried away there but Thor Ragnarok is just a really divisive movie for me. It had potential, but I really think Taika Waititi was a poor choice of director for a superhero film, and he's the reason I didn't care for it, his comedy style really didn't jive with me for some reason.

Out of the Marvel movies, I really enjoyed the lighter hearted Ant Man movies, as well as the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. And both of those are funny and well executed (to me anyways...xD)

Yeah, I really don't get how Netflix really operates on the creative front as well considering how they kinda have a bad habit of throwing their good stuff in the bin (like Dark Crystal) whereas giving the greenlight and endless marketing to whatever rando with a half-baked idea and a big name it seems.

At least their original anime is pretty good for the most part...

(Also yeah, that Death Note movie was a trainwreck... But at least William DaFoe as Ryuk was pretty good from whatI heard and seen.)

I always thought a fun twist on the big fight wiith Hela on the bridge was to have Lady Thor and Lady Loki there (cuz, you know interdimensional stuff) The guys would try to defend the princesses but in reality, the princesses have it handled and actually can work together pretty well. There's obvious a lot of plot details that would have needed to be woved in but it just would have been fun to see Thor and Loki work with their female alter-egos.

I really wish the Marvel movies would work in more of the interdimensional aspects of the comic's multiverse. Obviously that would be fairly difficult to explain, as the majority of the moviegoers are not avid comic readers and would be totally lost.

Which I think is part of the disconnect. The big time comic fans get upset that their favorite thing didn't get included. And usually I try not to be that fan.
Because at the end of the day, the target audience isn't the hardcore fans. It's movie goers that want to have a fun time. Which isn't a bad thing at all.

So even though I've got my strong opinions, they're formed from years of consuming comics. For the average movie goer...what the MCU puts out is fine. I'm a little wrankled but it doesn't matter. I can always re-read the comics to get my fix.

Happy feet and
Surfs up omg, totally forgot about these movies

This Movie I watch as a small little child, it was just so interesting on how they did this movie never seen it before like this


these two are one of the better films of the characters having to be animals well this is just my opinion :sweat_02:


Happy Feet, I also have to say this its just interesting, also part of my small years

OMG AND BOLT AS WELL

three movies mention that are better than the ones people have been showcasting :hohoho:

Yeah... if i want more complex interpersonal relationships (and now multiverse stuff!) I have DC. They're strong suit is TV series so the fans get more detailed plotlines.

And they've got a better line up of animated series/movies. Only one problem. I don't like DC much. ('cept for Batman.)
You have no idea how much I wish Disney would set up a Marvel animation universe aimed at young adults and not just kids cartoons.
There's so many great storylines that are perfect for it. Marvel did have a few animated movies back in the mid 2000s that were great. Like Ultimate Avengers and Wolverine Vs Hulk.

Death Note was freakin hilarious as hell OMG. Thank you so much for reminding me of this terrible gem. OMG I loved it. It's up there with the live action Fullmetal Alchemist movie as a "this was a mistake."

I will say that the only anime I want to see as a live action movie is Big O. Nothing else. Give me Big O as a movie directed by Christopher Nolan, I think it would be wild.

Also, along with that, I'm gonna add another unpopular opinion that might not be that unpopular but the only Disney movie I want to see a live action version of is Hunchback of Notre Dame--it's like right in Disney's live action wheelhouse of being unsettling, gritty, detailed, and full of white people, but they are so obsessed with CGI animals and calling it "live action" or pushing boundaries they have no experience in. Just use France. Just use freakin France it's right there. The building already exists. The book has 1 billion stage plays you can just steal (including their own stageplay musical, which was surprisingly good and won awards), just do something you're good at, Disney.

It just feels like movie directors want to do the adaptation to live action that's the most popular instead of the adaptations that would actually work really well in live action.

THANK YOU!!!! I grew up reading that book and got excited when I saw the movie on Netflix and then it was such total garbage. The whole fun of the book was the old-fashioned Victorian vibes! Also how the kids were just totally down to kill their parents. Total let down. Especially since the animation style would've been really cute with a different story.

Tom Hanks is only able to do one facial expressions
I still enjoy some of his movies where that facial expression works.
If you don´t believe me watch Big, Forrest Gump, Castaway & The Terminal.
The same facial expression, it drives me nuts

The Mandalorian is more perfect than everything else which came out of
the Star Wars universe. I don´t say better but more perfect for sure

Well, considering how much time and effort a group of them needed to lift and throw a modestly sized rock (it was hilariously sad), honestly I don't think the camp would even need a fence to prevent them from escaping.

thread tax: Treasure planet isn't that unappreciated masterpiece like everybody says it is. No, that's Atlantis.

Also, John Carter was a great film and it is an absolute crime it got treated by the executives like it did. The studio basically WANTED it to fail as hard as it can because of some stupid internal squabbles among the producers.

Iron Man 1-3 movies are so boring. I fall asleep every time I watch them.

Much agreeable for me I think it is just strange

I'm not sure if these are unpopular opinions, but 1) I did not like Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, 2) sometimes I don't care so much about the plot of the movie and just like to experience being in a different place: the scenery, costumes, etc. and 3) sometimes I like low-budget/older movies better, because less pizazz and CG abilities means that they have to focus more on good writing and an interesting plot. Oh! and it really annoys me when the characters in a movie speak really softly and then the music or sound effects are really loud so you have to keep adjusting the volume :grimacing: .

Wonder Woman is a horrible movie and does nothing to empower women imo. It's a long boring slog and Wonder Woman ultimately solves the problem by punching a guy despite her boyfriend saying "You can't resolve the war by punching a guy." I'm not a fan of generic boring films that claim to empower women without actually doing anything to really empower them except give them a hand out...
