So, not a Zack Snyder fan?
Defintely not, especially after what he had done with Superman. My favourite superhero reduced to angst and brooding and on top of that *not* entertaining movies.
shareI liked MoS but hated BvS. He ruined both characters in that one.
I liked Justice League more than most, but I guess at least half credit goes to Joss Whedon for that one.
Joss Whedon definitly takes credit for JL otherwise it would be on that list too.
And people clamoring for Synder cut (even though he didn't finish it) of JL after two of the cr@ppiest movies he has ever made.
Snyder has the official credit because of DGA rules but I think you’re right as a practical matter— it’s Whedon’s film.
I thought Snyder did a great job with Watchmen.
Watchmen was okay. It looked fine but as a movie, unfortunately I didn't find it entertaining.
Perhaps, I should re-watch it. What am I saying? Watch a Snyder movie again! I need to see my therapist.
Will Ferrell movies seem to cause that kind of split response around here. I love them.
shareI would agree with this.
shareNot forgetting two of the most non-funny comedians in Adam Sandler & Ben Stiller. God how I can't stand them. I can take Ferrell in little doses but these two NEVER. As soon as I see a poster with either of their names on it, I almost puke.
shareI can take Sandler in small doses. I liked the movies he did with Drew Barrymore, partly because I'm a total sucker for her smile.
Gotta disagree with you on Ben Stiller. I think most of his stuff is very funny. Zoolander, Dodgeball, Starsky & Hutch, and Tropic Thunder are all great.
I am guessing it must be age difference between us that makes you like his movies because my nephews like them too.
sharePersonally I hate all Will Ferrell comedies..they're just stupid to me. He did do a drama that I thought was pretty good "Everything Must Go"..and I found myself, for once, able to tolerate him.
I also hate most all of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller comedies...
Adam Sandler has had a few decent films (usually dramas) like Punch-Drunk Love (2002), Spanglish (2004), Reign Over Me (2007)..and I did like The Wedding Singer and a few others..
Ben Stiller films are the dumbest but I do remember a little known early film he did called "Permanent Midnight" and he was pretty good in that. He should've stuck to dramas.
A woman (going by Roxie in the name) after my own heart. Well done.
Like you I also found Will Farrell quite good in (possibly) 'Everything must go' where he basically sells everthing in his front yard (if memory serves me right). I can't remember any other dramas from him.
I couldn't agree more. Most people I know think Ferrell is hilarious but I've never been able to stand him as a comedian. He's just not funny to me. Incidentally, one of my favorite movies is one he stars in, called "Stranger Than Fiction." It had comedic elements but on the whole it was more of a drama and philosophical movie. I think he could be a decent dramatic actor, but his "comedy" grates on my nerves.
shareFerrell's scenes with Dustin Hoffman in that movie were priceless.
