we used to have a movie thread, maybe it's been a while but i'd like to bring it back. It's just to suggest/discuss movies in general...
I'll go first: Batman and Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Awesome movie! And to put the yahoo crap to bed early, Affleck did a great job. He was one of the best Bruce Wayne's ever and delivered on the tormented, past his prime Batman. I found the movie to be updated, as in getting into what's been going on in comics since the 90's instead of the 70's. I won't spoil it for anyone, but be prepared for some shocks and it helps to be astute in your DC knowledge. I had to even look a few things up, but thats ok because i really got tired of having my intelligence insulted by all the rebooted reboots we've been suffering through lately. (Spiderman-hello!) I was also very impressed with Wayne's suffering: the death of his parents is all over the movie which was sadly lacking in Nolan's trilogy.
With Superman, I found they did a great job bringing him into the now, as in the way the world is today, it's exactly how he would be treated if he really were here now. Tearing down heroes seems to be the "in" thing.
Wonder Woman: its a dang shame it took till 2016 to see her on the Big Screen, but hey here she is and was really cool. Bout Time!
In closing, id suggest it to any comic fan, it was very well balanced between all the characters, so its not just one sided.
9/10
