Thewlis is a fantastic actor, his lines as Ares were terrible though. They tried to copy the MoS Zod scene and it fell flat.
I really liked Hacksaw Ridge but I loved Dunkirk. I also appreciated that in Dunkirk I didn't have to hear about another 'girlfriend/wife back home' type of back story most war movies use to get you to root for the characters or tug at your heart. It was all about what was happening to these people at Dunkirk, which is bad enough in itself to make you feel scared for the characters. The fact that most of the cast was unknown heightened the tension because you didn't know who would die. Seen the movie 3 times and it gets better every time. Saw Hacksaw Ridge once and I have no desire to see it again, also the first half of the movie is just boring and Hugo Weaving's performance was not very good. The battle scenes are done really well and Andrew Garfield is brilliant but overall I obviously liked Dunkirk more.
I agree! Chris Terrio's batman dialog was terrible. They should have trusted Zach and Goyer, IMO these guys have made some of the best superhero movies, Watchmen, TDK trilogy, 300, MoS were all brilliant! Snyder and Goyer were clearly scapegoats in this situation.
Pa Kent dying of a heart attack has been done, I'm glad they did something different that worked for his character in this movie. You are right though, Man of Steel is a masterpiece! IMO it's the last good DC movie.
Ares is basically in disguise throughout the movie and when he's in battle he is a huge CG character. He doesn't need to be jacked. WW however is not and is an Amazon warrior and should have more muscle than Gadot. Also she is a horrible actress
I didn't mean the mythology, just the animation of that scene in the beginning
Yes and tortured as well.
Saw the movie, it's a bad Marvel movie knock off and Gadot is a terrible actress. The movie is terrible! Only good thing is Chris Pine and the Greek mythology scene in the beginning. Even David Thewlis who is fantastic in everything couldn't make the awful dialogue sound believable. The CG is at the X-Men Origin level where some scenes actually look incomplete. As a woman it really bothers me that this is being heralded as a feminist achievement when it's really a Steve Trevor movie with WW in it.
Not really a given since MoS was brilliant but the CG has been quite bad since BvS. WW however is on the level of X-Men Origins Wolverine and Themyscira looked like crap!
You forgot to mention the terrible CG.
