Stevo985 Posted June 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 18, 2013 I liked it but thought it fell short of being as amazing as it was made out to be. But conversely, RDJ was the worst part of the film for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted June 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 18, 2013 In fairness to Man of Steel, it's arguably more of a sci fi film than it is a superhero film. It's no masterpiece but fun enough, looks good and as thin as it's plot is (and with its flaws and holes) it's good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when it cost a bazillion dollars to make. And that's all these superhero movies (Batman aside) ever seem to be. I go to the cinema to be blown away, but not in a technological sense.

CVByrne Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I can't think of the last big budget blockbuster kinda film that was genuinely good. Like proper good. Somebody help me out? Since Inception. Excluding the Dark Knight as I didn't see it in the cinema due to many mixed reviews and opinions on the film. all were wrong though, I loved the film. Also don't bother with other super hero films. None of them rise above decent. So excluding all comic book films what's been great? Gimme lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 DiCaprio and Scorsese? Haven't seen Shutter Island but I loved The Departed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iszwuX1AK6A Looks mental. Also, having just seen Django Unchained, which I thought was great, I'm keen for more DiCaprio. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The problem I have with many comic book/superhero films is the inevitable cheesiness and cringe worthy one-liners made even worse, in the cinema, by people actually laughing out loud. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm keen for more DiCaprio. Leonardo DiCaprio has confirmed to fans they won’t see him for a while but has promised he’s only taking a ‘breather’ from the fame game. The 38-year-old waved farewell as he debuted his hotly anticipated new 3-D flick The Great Gatsby and admitted he feels ‘sick’ by the level of fame he has now reached. ‘To me, right now it’s about getting a little breather — getting some time off,’ said DiCaprio ‘Not a permanent break or not an indefinite period, but you know, just a few months off to do some other things.’ But the heartthrob insisted his hiatus isn’t down to some underlying issue, instead revealing he just needs to take stock of his sparkling movie career. he's a lot like brad pitt IMO easy to write off and then you look at what films he's been in, and what films he's been brilliant in and its a great CV, shame he was up against whittaker for best actor for blood diamond J Edgar was shit though...

I guess I go to the cinema to enjoy myself. I enjoy the spectacle of a big budget superhero blockbuster - I don't think it's going to set Cannes ablaze or win any Oscars for performances or it's artfulness, but I enjoy something like Man of Steel for what it is. I think a good few people might go and see Man of Steel and be blown away, in all honesty - it's finale is quite genuinely blockbuster fare. Perhaps too much so. I guess it's very easy to look down on. Each to their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Leonardo patented the 'raise the glass, drop the chin, raise the eyebrows and smile' gesture? He's used it in 3 films this year, including this one. Django and Great Gatsby also feature it prominently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 he is having a few months off starting from now, if wolf of wall start started filming in august 2012 and isnt released until november then in theory if he isnt starting anything new until the end of this year then he'll more than likely not have a film out next year hardly unheard of though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
