@catsimboy: True, Snyder needs to just stop being Snyder and learn how make proper movies like his friends. Snyder's CGI nonsense is getting old, real old. He needs to sit down with Nolan and maybe Scott and some other big director and learn how to properly make a film or just move into making video games.
@burasta: The Hollywood system is whacked. How any film can do 720m gross and still not be a success is just wrong. They spend way too much of PA and Production.
@BruceWayneJr: Yeah, that's how they do every movie other than Snyder films. Nolan made Batman in real locations and built real sets that looked like destroyed landscape.
Kid, It's called filmmaking not Video Game design. If you don't plan on shooting a film, then just make a video game all in CGI.
Other directors shoot their films in real locations with real people. Do you think they made a CGI Dubai or a CGI Brazil in Fast and Furious, NO, then went to Dubai and Brazil and used real cars in real locations an just added CGI ontop of the real locations.
You want a destroyed city, you dress the city up to look destroyed, then you shoot in the city and then you add some CGI for extra effect, you don't fake the whole city.
#@kryten222: That's why Snyder is a few leagues below Nolan. Snyder doesn't understand that not every film works using his 300 theory of filmmaking. 300 worked 'cause it was never meant to be set within a realistic environment, it was pure fantasy, so the CGI stuff worked for the film. But films like Superman and Batman are supposed to exist within a real world context, I,E Gotham, Metropolis are all supposed to be a carbon copy of Earth, and hence you cannot use the CGI method of filmmaking.
Snyder just doesn't get it, he can't wrap his mind around the fact that suspension of disbelief is broken when you use CGI within the context something that is supposed to be real. which is why Nolan is a better director. Its all about context.
After watching the CGI mess that was Man of Steel, I don't watch Snyder films anymore, so I skipped this movie, knowing it was gonna be a like a video game, I'll catch it when its on Netflix.
@Zemus: You're making the assumption that Shomi will increase their prices. And you're also assuming that their content is all different, That's two assumptions that you are making. I can assure you that Shomi and Netflix share a massive catalogue of duplicate movies and TV shows, there are some exclusive content between the two, but they do share a lot of the same stuff.
The question is will you pay for two identical services when one is cheaper, just for a few exclusive shows, which you can download with ease for free anyway.
I wouldn't.
If I were Shomi why would I increase my prices? I can easily advertise that Shomi is cheaper and better than Netflix and use the price difference to gain a bigger client pool. Why would Shomi give up its biggest competitive advantage against Netflix just to make an extra 3 bucks a month?
@Byshop: Or War and Peace, or whatever Oscar bait he's got cooking.
The other actors must have been so jealous, cause Ben wasn't even there half the time, they were just acting with a stunt double pretending to be Ben, LOL.
Biggest scam cash your massive paycheque to play Batman and not even show up to play Batman. LOL
That's the difference from Snyder and Nolan. Nolan understands that all effects must be grounded on real world locations, the effects just adds to the world, where as Snyder believes that you can create a world with effects.
That's why Nolan is the better filmmaker. FX are not at the level of being true to reality, so making a film exist entirely in the FX world takes away from the suspension of disbelief.
Learn from Nolan, Snyder. Suspension of disbelief is the foundation of cinema. That's why Man of Steel sucked, it was like watching a video game.
@GregoryBastards: Yeah I hated the first Man of Steel it was like all shot on a green screen, felt like watching a video game, not a movie. That's why I skipped this movie, will catch it when its on Netflix.
