It looked so cheap.


I watched yesterday in 2D. The whole movie looked like filmed in a studio and in front of greenscreen.
Almost everything looked strange or artificial. Many scenes reminded me of video games.

Steppenwolf didn´t feel like a threat or a real character... an actor with good make up would have looked better.

For a 200 Million Dollar movie it didn´t have one impressive special effect scene. Nothing that makes you say ohhh or ahh or "how did they do that"... all too shiny, blurry or over the top.

A shame.

There are TV-Shows with better cinematography and more exciting sfx.

That's how all movies look like today.

Wow...that's harsh!

Yep it was pretty pathetic especially the scene where it shows themescara or whatever wonder womans home is called.

Did you see her invisible plane?

it already started with the marketing. everything looked like it was fan made. the poster alone is an insult to every professional designer.

"There are TV-Shows with better cinematography and more exciting sfx. "

Yep.

200 mil? More like 300 million! It’s insane, I know. So much in the trailers/clips looked cheap and ugly... specifically all the VFX. The dark look it has is unmistakably Snyder’s doing, and it doesn’t do the movie any favors. To give it a fair shot though, I figured the actual movie would look better, but... unsurprisingly that turned out to be untrue.

They really don’t know what they’re doing with these movies.

That's why I didn't bother going to see it. Specifically cause it just looked like actors standing and swinging from wires in front of a green screen with terrible effects. Aquaman surfing a guy through twenty stories of a building at faster than light speed against all rules of physics was especially barf inducing.

reply

the green screen is so damn obvious throughout it's mind numbing

Unfortunately, the merging of CGI with everything is taking over the industry. It used to be you'd only use CGI for things you couldn't make. Now it's like "sets? We don't need sets. CGI it."

reply

Yeah, sets, what are those anyway? Disturbing but true.

With the success of Galaxy Guardians and such, they'll soon use fully animated CGI characters... No need to worry about casting and paying actors... 😉

it will happen sooner than we think... the fans will love it as it will take them one step closer to their beloved comic book drawings...

The comic book movies are barely movies anyway... it's fine... Other people will continue to make real films, with directors and actors... The kind of movie that doesn't need the descriptor "live action" ... 😎

reply

the positive side of it is the actors never get sick, drunk, play Kardashian, have megalomania hissy fits, and are always on time...

And need no cash...

And will stay like that forever...

Seems quite proper.

I think the end-game for these superhero movies is to become "photorealistic" CGI versions of the comic books... Think of how people view the Pixar CGI cartoons, they don't question Nemo or Minions the way they question Cavil, Gadot or other actors...

That way they can really do what the comics set out and take it further... It's getting close because most people have gotten used to the very digital look of movies anyway...

It's what the fans want and what the studios and producers want as well... I really think the biggest years of fandom are still to come...

Personally, I kinda stopped watching these comicbook movies since Avengers Ultron or thereabouts... I still catch bits of them on TV and whem friends suggest we see them... It's not really my thing, but the concept of it's dominance of the movie business is interesting...

reply

It's a fad. It will go away like everything in life.
