[quote=flyer][quote=Blogstar]The Lego movie was really good!
What’s going on with the super hero movies?
Guardians of the Galaxy?
Flyer have you seen it?
Also Ironman 3, the only one I watched.
What is the draw to these things for people who would rate them as good as a lot of people do?
I thought better of the story lines of recent spider man movies, though they weren’t really as visually astonishing.
Elysium made a pretty good depiction of Post apocalyptic Los Angeles….but really crappy movie for me.
Left to my own devices I am a foreign movie, art film, chick flick, documentary type of viewer, but I watch some of this stuff with the family.[/quote]
Have seen all of the above, with “Guardians” being my favorite.
Hollywood has realized that Superhero films do well domestically, and blow the roof off internationally. That’s why you’re seeing so many of them out there-it’s all “business,” and business is good. This is a trend that is projected to last through 2020, so we’ll just have to wait and see if the bubble bursts sooner or later.
Here’s an interesting article that sheds a little more light on that topic:
With that I can see the broad appeal. I am not a sci-fi fan. My wife is but didn’t like the dialog for Guardians. The main characters werie likeable /somewhat relatable for me but agree with my better half on the dialog.
DIdn’t understand why if they could grow one dancing groot(corny) from a cutting why they couldn’t grow thousands. These kinds of things trip me up about sic-fi. Mechanical impossibilities that are often part of the action drive me nuts.
