And the thing is, I knew exactly what movie she meant.
And yes… it was crap too. This coming from a guy who loves special effects. We movie goers have just been totally saturated in this new wave of “Videogame Movies”.
Out of the movies we’ve watched lately, Battleground: L.A. was one long videogame. Suckerpunch actually jumped from one videogame genre to the next. I rolled my eyes at the new Spiderman trailer… all the “spidey action” was done “First Person Shooter” style. For those who don’t know what a First Person Shooter is… well, you can Google it.
But seeing those scenes done that way with just flashes of ”our” Spiderman hands and “our” Spiderman reflection in the windows really irritated me.
Maybe I’m just getting old… Luckily Peter Jackson’s Hobbit will keep me satisfied for a while.

You should try looking up the Spiderman Broadway musical, “Spiderman: Turn off the dark.” I nearly cried…
Oh dear God, another Hobbit head??
Well that explains alot.
I really liked the Spidey trailer (sans the almost induced motion sickness)
But I AM hoping the Spidey movie turns out great. I’m not against reboots. I actually liked the new X-men. I was pleasantly surprised.
Hmmm. Maybe I should be having this conversation on the “other” site.
Oh yeah and if you are tired of “video game” movies,
I guess you will go comatose over BATTLESHIP the Movie (summer 2012)
No I’m not making that up- though it is an interesting trailer.
There’s also a Monopoly movie in the works…
Haven’t seen SuckerPunch [SP] yet, have you seen “Pan’s Labrinth” (sorry if misspelled)? The seem to have a certain plot twist in common from what I’ve seen in SP trailers.
Pan’s Labyrinth was kind of depressing…
Plus Del Toro’s eye fetish freaks me out!!! He did that with Helboy II also.
I think my favorite movie that’s come out in a while is Hot Fuzz. That was a good, classic movie that had me laughing for the entire last 20 minutes. No video game or comic book theme so it was a breath of fresh air.
Dude, just POSTERS told me exactly what Suckerpunch was gonna be: An excuse to have a bunch of sluts dressed liked sluts being “bad girls” and “kicking ass” or whatever, because thats TOTALLY what the male market wants… if they’re 13 and retarded that is.
Saw the trailer, didn’t need to see the movie because I knew I was right and that the movie was just going to be a giant elephant shit.
Why would you do that to yourself? Do you enjoy being hurt by movies?
