Both movies missed the mark in my opinion. Dark Phoenix really needed Wolverine. I understand why he's not in the film, but the character is a huge part of this story line. New Mutants could have been great, but it really wasn't the time to launch a new team with the rights going back to Marvel.
Agreed.. I was disappointed with both, but I was more disappointed with how they resolved the First Class trilogy. I loved the first two movies. The New Mutants wasn't what I expected, but it was at least interesting in horror film theme they went with.
It's not dour all the way through, we get to spend some downtime with our five main characters and there's some decent chills to be had here. Plus, there's some kind of directorial flair from Josh Boone than from Simon Kinberg.
Loved it but it wasn’t a set-up more than a coda where Trinity and Neo get what they deserve as a parallel to Lana’s life. A creator with a new outlook reflecting on material and a legacy made when they were almost literally a different person. Lana‘s now free to change The Matrix, as in the movie.
Honestly, The Matrix should’ve just been one movie, only cuz it was only one movie that worked, and that’s the first one. It was lightning in a bottle that caught waves and can’t be replicated by the multiple sequels. Plus Keanu’s doing so much better in his newer movies, especially in John Wick.
Definitely Batman! I think this is because fans are used to Batman being more malleable, as Kane and Finger's Batman was a pretty basic, archetypal character that had an awesome motif. As such, the only real qualifiers are being someone who suffered a crime-related tragedy and stands against crime.
The idea that anybody could be Spider-Man is a quintessential characteristic of the core of the character, you can be rich, poor, black or white and still be Spider-Man, even Stan said that's why he wears a full face mask, so it naturally follows that he is the best legacy heroes ever created.
I feel like the point of Spider-Man is that anybody can be Spider-Man. Miles and Peter are different characters with their own upbringings. It’s not the same for Batman. Bruce Wayne IS Batman. Only Bruce can really understand what it means to be Batman on a more intimate, personal level in my eyes.
Honestly I believe that Miles is the best example and most successful example of a legacy character ever, in just a little over a decade he has been in animated TV shows, animated movies, and video games, and now a sizeable part of the fandom considers him THE Spider-Man.
Both movies missed the mark in my opinion. Dark Phoenix really needed Wolverine. I understand why he's not in the film, but the character is a huge part of this story line. New Mutants could have been great, but it really wasn't the time to launch a new team with the rights going back to Marvel.
Replybecause compared to the new mutamts and x-men apocalypse i find it was more enjoyable one as its own compared to these 2 films
ReplyNot into horror, and New Mutants pushes liberal SJW agenda too much.
