Eh, no.

Movies like Fast and Furious or Transformers had that going for them. People liked the IP/Characters and they made lots of money. However both franchises were critically panned and typically still are.

Not the same thing at all. Go read a few reviews about endgame. Points to it are typically:

- Acting is top notch.
- Writing to explain time travel is coherent and believable to the GA
- The film does something completely unconventional (have them lose again 20 minutes into the film and have a 5 year timeskip)
- Actual consequences even though the snap was predictably reversed (Tony and Nat dying, Steve growing old).
- Does not feel like a 3 hour movie


The film isn't even an action film. It barely has action until the last 3rd of the film. It's all about the heart and drama of the characters you've known for 12 years and how they deal with losing.

The film is literally about losing and never giving up the chance to bring back loved ones lives, even at the cost of your own.

That tennis scene and the funeral mishap fucking killed me. :milaugh:

And I woke up my neighbor watching the fireworks finale. :suresure:

Ebert's review of it perfectly captures its charm and enduring appeal, too. :myman:

My favorite of his is Playtime's, though. Maybe the only epic comedy in existence. One of the films that changed how I saw the world. :cheers:

You like classic screwball comedies, mate?

I thought Playtime was pretty good, I had to watch it for one of my college classes but I didn't regret it. The set design was definitely a plus, especially that big grey office scene. It's a good example of continuity editing and has interesting visuals as well.

The amount of detail that went into it was fucking unreal. I thought Jonathan Rosenbaum was kidding when he said Ordet and Playtime have the best mise-en-scene he has ever watched and both classics delivered. All those fake Hulots are masterful. :cheers:

I was surprised how different all 4 Hulot films felt, though, which speaks to Tati's talent and hard work. :fransuper:

In a perfect world, Jacques Tati would have made as many films as Jess Franco. Alas, we do not live in a perfect world. :catsweat:

So after all your narcissistic self-wanking about your great movie knowledge and taste, you love a movie that has these plot points:

1.Deus Ex Machina Rat, yes a rat moves the plot forward because the writers couldn't think of a better way to do it.

2.The bringing Gamora from the past nonsense really destroys any weight her death had in Infinity War and also the soul stone sacrifice really becomes a laughing stock.

3. Hydra is just dumb and naive.

4.Thanos did a full 180 without any reason at all other than bad writing, the same guy that was willing to sacrifice his own daughter for the greater good became the guy that wants to destroy the world just because he's salty.

5.Tony pulls out another infinity gauntlet out of it's ass.
The funny thing is, it seems that even if you watch all the movies that ever came out, your taste would still remain the same.

They made a plot point were the man she loved (that died in the past) came back into another man's body, just his spirit

and then she fucks the dude, and by the end of the movie the dude she likes goes away from the random dudes body, and she interacts / flirts with the random dude, and he doesn't have any memories of fucking her

:suresure:

Imagine if this was Steve with a random woman that was possessed by Peggy's spirit.

Woke Twitter would go nuts.

For those who don't know what mise-en-scene is here you go:



Basically, Playtime has very interesting and unique visual design that also plays into the narrative. An example is that the MC of the movie is trying to find someone in a vast office building but consistently has trouble with the similar-looking and complicated layout. :feelsokeman:
