Why have the standards in photography, sets and costumes deteriorated so much in Hollywood? When was the last time we had a nice looking blockbuster?

everything is fixed in post and then they realise their garbage flick isnt even worth fixing so they just release it anyway

Say what you will about the rest, but James Cameron understands visuals

That's not what the left image looked like in the film

>>213487018
Yes that looked really good. Would have looked even better on film IMO but it's still a nice looking movie.

>>213486954 (OP)
You Snyderjeets just can’t stop seething

Watching blockbusters from the early 00's is insane. It's like a whole different level of filmmaking. Just the Pirates of Carribbean movies are a marvel of filmmaking excellence. I don't think that level of craftmanship exists today. Nowadays everyone has to get very comfortable and very rich fast.

Why is that drab, muted, filtered bullshit better photography? It looks like an xbox 360 game.

But enough about WalMartMan.

Superman is supposed to be a big blue boyscout not grimdark murderman

It’s hilarious this place bitched how ugly and soulless blue filter shit was in all these films looked and now all you’re crying about how great it looked

Nobody complained about it in Twilight. It fit the mood of the movie perfectly. Even Twilight looks good in retrospect, that's depressing.

Nobody in Europe even cares about the movie to give a shit about the politics. It's completely irrelevant. Europeans just aren't as impressed by the quipshit team movies that impress Amerifats.

Like I said, nobody in Europe cares what Trump tweets. If the movie is good, people will watch. If the movie is shit, people won't. Superman 2025 was marketed like a MCU dogshit movie and Europeans have never been into that like Amerifats have.

>>213487683
It did well in Europe. It got shutout of Asian countries. China is blocking all capeshit now and Japan always put their own shit out the same time any superhero movie comes out. Which whatever. How it is now

Nah it did really poorly in Europe compared to MoS, not even counting inflation. I don't care what cope you'll pull in reply but that's the truth.

>>213488224
whats that pooey smell?

Superman 2025 is one of the worst superhero movies of all times. James Gunn, who excels in directing overdone violence, out of place quips, undeserved melodrama and perverted sex obsession brings all his trademark traits to this rendition of Superman. This isn't a Superman movie, it's a Marvel/Guardians of Galaxy movie with Superman in the middle of it. In fact, Gunn seems to enjoy writing Justice Gang far more than he does writing Superman. The former which ran off two jokes that were repeated ad nauseam throughout the movie.

What makes Superman a compelling character is gone in Gunn's sloppy adaption. He's not particularly strong, he's not particularly wise, he's a poor leader, he's extremely narcissist and gets easily emotional. And this is supposed to be a seasoned Superman. It's almost like Gunn was projecting his own shitty flawed character on to Superman. The only missing touch would be if Lois was a minor.

The action scenes are just a complete mess of CG blob. Superman is basically a rag doll that gets thrown all over the place and nothing in this movie has weight or meaning to it, particularly in its action. There's a scene where Lios and Mr Terrific break into enemy HQ and the whole ordeal is of course settled with a very catchy music montage of all the enemies being dismantled with utter ease. The next scene is off Clark trying to keep a CGI baby from drowning in lava with his deus ex dog arriving on timely manner to save him again. This is straight out of a Marvel movie and has no place in a Superman movie.

This rendition of Lex is also his most shallow depiction. There is no nuance or intelligence to this Lex. He's not particularly shrewd and constantly spills out his plans for everyone to find out. He throws into temper tantrums just like Superman and starts to sob and cry because Superman is better than him. Where is the elegance and intelligence of Luthor? This is basically a spoiled rich kid battling another spoiled strong kid. 1/10, MCU slop.

>>213488283
its a different kind, that baby diarrhea indian smell

>Gunnjeets trying to derail the thread by samefagging race wars
kek the desperation is real

So Superman in a moment of severe crisis and trauma chooses to.....save a squirrel?

Is this guy for real? He has God-like powers and yet he seems more concerned with saving the life of a random squirrel than he is dealing with the actual crisis. His ability to properly assess a dangerous situation seems really off. By the way, since when was Superman such an animal rights fighter? Is he even vegan? Last time I looked the Chinese butcher farms are still operational. Last time I looked, millions of chickens are still being hurdled together in tiny spaces before their moment of traumatic slaughter. I have yet to see Superman intervene there. Or does he believe a problem only exists if it's right in front of him? That doesn't only make him stupid, but also outright dangerous.

Why is this Gunnjeet so mad? Did WalMartMan really drop off that hard at the BO?

Snyder flicks are inherently homosexual, left pic is all about admiring Henry Cavill's body and muscle pads, right pic is superman being taken somewhere else. If we apply Snyder's...uh...vision...to the right pic, the helicopter shouldn't be there, and both superman and ultraman would be wearing a lot of muscle pads, and of course, it would be in slow motion so you can satisfy your homosexual desires.

Twilight uses the heavy green filter as an actual narrative resource because Forks is supposed to be the most overcast town in the entire country, thus the vampires live there in order to hide from the sun.

>>213489224
The fact that a superman reboot (this is like the fifth superman I've seen within my lifetime) managed to BTFO the new captain america, the new avengers and MCU's fantastic four really gives context to this seethe spam against the movie. I'd be panicking if I was a disneyshill too

We've reached a point where fucking Twilight is looked back on fondly.

>>213489383
>>213489188
Ok now show Man of Steel's numbers. You don't need to adjust it for the 50% inflation either if you don't want to.

>>213489383
Real panic is F4 was suppose to be build up for Doomsday. Budget for that movie is insane. 450 million and some are saying it’s well over 600 million not including promotions. Russos getting paid 70 million for it and RDJ 100 million. It’s spending close 300 million just on the talent

>>213489406
It overtook MOS’s domestic over a week ago bro and MOS ran in theaters for over three months

That's the first movie I've ever heard of getting reshoots before having a finished script, we're reaching level of IT'S OVER that shouldn't be possible

This could be a good thread to talk about how even with practical hollywood is failing at direction BUT the snydertrannies are seething and crying all over the place.
Marlel is doing practical swinging right now and i can guantereed its going to look worse than Raimi

>>213489645
The issue is not just practical or not but also camera management and how the DP organizes scenes to create compelling contrast.

>>213489544
Adjust Superman 1978 for inflation and it beats Man of Steel.

>>213489883
Nobody said S'78 was anything but a huge BO hit though. Movies back then stayed in cinemas for ages and there was no DVD/digital market to even speak of.

>>213486954 (OP)

Zack Snyder is just a director who values aesthetics over all other considerations, it's his strength and weakness.

This but also Dunc 2 looked great

Why is lighting so fucking flat? It really is the major problem with how ugly movies look today. Digital over celluloid is easy to blame but digital can look good in skilled hands. Is it a competency crisis? What is the fucking deal ever since 2009 or so?

>You're Indian!
>No, YOU're Indian!

>>213490783
This is the resort when shills lose all grounds to stand on. If India was not the only successful country for S2025, they would've pushed that thing even harder.

>>213490714
The MCU lowered standards so hard that Hollywood realized they don't have to bother at all.

>>213489385

>>213490859
Nah Twilight looks alright compared to modern digital slop.

>>213490600
You serious? Dunc visuals are flat and one note. The CG is poor and digital can't properly convey the scorching heat of the desert like old desert films did. I could not see shit in the final fight.

The Donner film is not particularly memorable. I think I'll rewatch it but unlike many 70/80's classics, Superman is one of those that has aged poorest.

>>213490872
the entire movie is shot through the same ugly ass blue filter.

I like when he pretended to be best buddies with Affleck and then Affleck told him to fuck off in an interview just right after.

Why so many obsessed with praising Man of Steel, a movie panned by most because it didn't reflect correctly how Superman is and buried in the depth of Bermuda Triangle since 2013?

I prefer S25 but I will maintain the MoS suit (not BvS/JL, because the muscle suit got too obnoxious then) was close to unmoggable. Named the colours needed to be less tell, perhaps remove the chainmail texture from the S so it stands out more, remove a few of the waist/hip kryptonian stuff so he can have a red belt-type thing as a middle ground between zero red there and the briefs.

The international audience can't tell the difference between good effects and bad effects, so why bother?

I can never like Cavil`s Superman because it was totally inspired by trash like new 52. And it's a shame because i think they did Cavil dirty. If the production, director, visuals and plot were better, a lot of people would like Henry as Superman.
