Nolan Fans

Spoilers for Venom:

Looks like the best superhero movie of the year has arrived. I've been saying it for years but looks like Lord&Miller&Co just get it - superhero genre is not about the staleness of the samey formula, it's about embracing the wilderness and variety of what is truly out there, in comic book stores, nowadays.🕷

* several reviews have been posted, more to come as they update and many others can be found on youtube, all extremely positive and in the hyperbole zone: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/spider ... der_verse/

Is anyone surprised after incredible trailers? The only thing surprising is the amount of talk about it.

I had high hopes and I've been hearing nothing but good things.

In other news, Sony is still Sony.

I feel you. Just Spider-Gwen would be enough. With Matt Murdock as the main villain of course.🕷

The New York Film Critics Circle named this the best animated film of the year.

48 reviews on RT so far, still 100%. Average rating bumped up to a 9/10.

Seeing this in three days, luckily with subs.

Saw a preview screening of this on Friday and dug it. Incredibly well animated and very fun.

I guess I'm in the minority on this one. I thought this was just a "meh" superhero movie. Outside of the novelty of multiple Spider-People in the same movie, it has the most generic plot imaginable and the most obvious message you can think of; I was never surprised by any of the narrative turns. Some of the animation style is cool, but then there were times when it was just annoying, and I get that it's trying to translate the comic-book style for the film, but there's a reason why the style of a comic-book works within it's own medium. There were a couple of good laughs, but not this gut-busting romp that everybody has been talking it up to be. Plus, it's such a loud fucking movie. I left the cinema feeling nothing, and that was a feeling I didn't want to end up having.

Cinematic masterpiece. Emotional, visually stunning, rich in every sense.
