Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Are people seeing the same movie as I am?
I'm not sure what movie all the previous reviewers saw, but this movie is TERRIBLE! I had so much hope for this one my entire family went to see it on opening night last night and EVERYONE in the theater HATED this movie! There were people booing. Obviously I won't be a spoiler here and reveal the main reason everyone hated it, but if you watch the film yourself, you'll probably see the main problem with the film. I will add that the shaky, dark footage made the film unwatchable. I loved THE DARK KNIGHT and wished they had used the same techniques, lock the camera down brighten up the sets, let us actually see the action, not just infer what's happening with blurred motion in the dark. And what was up with the Joker playing Lex Luthor? Give him green hair, cause it definitely wasn't Lex...my prediction, the film will do well this weekend once all the fans go, but then will thud terribly next weekend...it's no Dark Knight or Avengers...those films at least give the audience what they really want. That's why all the marketing on this film says it's not the film the fans want, but it's the film we need. It's a complete cop- out for giving us a truly crappy movie.
Great Guy (1936)
Smart Film, Tough Guy
Just saw this movie for the first time last night and I really enjoyed it. It's not every day you see a film about the Weights and Measures investigator. I got to tell ya, even watching Cagney in this B movie was completely enjoyable. These movies are a lot different when the lead actor shows up to act the walls off the place. He is 100% believable from start to finish and it really ups the value and watch-ability of the film.
My favorite scenes are his Investigation scenes. The film has several twists which are nice and some fun action scenes. Pretty intense fight scene at the end between Cagney and one of the bad guys. The two stuntmen were really duking it out.
