Agreed. The rules should match the fluff.

Best: The Dark Knight Favorite: Mystery Men

I think that the point may be that it's not supposed to look choreographed, just props aren't supposed to look cardboard or styrofoam and monsters aren't supposed to look like guys in rubber suits (unless the film is a spoof or it's going for some kind or weird minimalism like you see in some...

I agree. Here's a tougher question: Is Doctor Who a superhero? He's got gadgets and regeneration and kind of a similar origin story to Superman (space alien. last of his kind but not really. etc)

This. Phantom Menace was fun. The other preqjels were forgettable

You want the world to uselessly spin its wheels for 50000 years?

And that's exactly the kind of thing I was talking about when I was dismissive of movie critics a couple pages back. They make bad calls like passing over Goodfellas for Dances With Wolves all the time. There's a formula for making films that win oscars, and it's not the same formula as for...

And yet ironically completely bought into their propaganda. It's evident from her work that she genuinely believed that the people in charge of the USSR cared about things like class equality, and that's why she attacked those things

That seems about right

They're shallow people, not bad people.

So like, the kind of moviegoers who go to the movies to seem sophisticated rather than to enjoy the movies?

Bob the Angry Flower is definitely underrated And as for Ann Rand, I find it humorous that John Galt, her most famous mouthpiece for her anti-union anti-religion worldviews, is a Christ-figure who organizes a worldwide walkout. It's a hilariously broken aesop

I agree. In most episodes they're not bad people (there are a handful of exceptions where they really are villainous though, wasn't there an episode where Elaine tried to poison her neighbor's pet or something)

As I said, this also applies at least to horror movies as well as sci-fi (Possibly to other genres but those are the only kinds of movies from the 1970's that I've really watched a lot of). If you look at Halloween 1, or the original versions of Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Dawn Of The Dead, they...

For me it just wasn't an experience period. I played it for like 10-15 hours waiting for it to get to the good part because I'd heard so much about it, but it never did

Just like commercials for Carl's Jr.

Anthem is pretty good though, as long as you don't think too hard about how people that cartoonishly incompetant managed to take over the world in the first place (or if you think about it way way too hard. My personal headcanon is that it's actually in a similar world and setting to Brave New...

That's not a problem in and of itself, but it isn't action driven either The book is great. It has a plot, it's coherent, there's great worldbuilding. I wish that those things had made it into the movie For it's time it kind of is (except for the kaliedoscope thing). My experience has been...

Overrated: Half-Life 2- This game was only superficially related to the first game, it was boring to play, the faces were in the uncanny valley, it had less guns, the revolver looked like a plastic toy, the driving segment was gratituitous and poorly executed, and the opening train sequence was...

Because the answer to those other questions was an obvious "yes", both then and now. Also as stated before that movie's aesop was a non-sequitur anyway. Regular animals can and do escape from the zoo, and the reason why so many of them escaped in Jurassic Park wasn't because they were...
