Shame that, like almost everything else from finance to sports franchises, they couldn’t help themselves and killed that golden goose. I don’t know that I’ll ever watch any of them again.

It only worked when there was a Singular Vision for the entire franchise. I think Jon Favreau had a lot to do with it.

It's really hard in a giant corporation to entrust someone who can pull it all together like that. And it's rare to even find a guy with the capability of doing so.

Best ones are Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. Maybe Thor Ragnarok as well. And possibly the best installment of all, the original Iron Man. Worst one was Thor 2 The Dark World.

I say this as someone who adores dogme 95 and Annapurna films. I mostly watch indie art house shit.

Iron Man 2 was a Joke

Batman Begins is a better movie start to finish than The Dark Knight. TDK has better sequences and characters, but Batman Begins is a much tighter, better plotted movie.

Similarly Inception is Nolan's best movie by far. The script is perfect - you can tell its the script he rewrote over 10 years. Movie snobs hate it because narratively its perfect - they prefer "challenging" movies like Interstellar where the resolution is just "Uh...he uses a magic watch to transmit love across the universe" or Oppenheimer "let's throw in a weird sex scene" "let's have the bomb go off halfway through the movie and then have people argue about a security clearance he doesn't need for the last 90 minutes."

Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Carribean is probably the best performance of the last 20 years and the Academy Awards needs to stop awarding acting jobs where actors cry/lose weight/struggle/do an impersonation of a famous musician. The best example of this is Robert Downey Jr, who was never nominated for Iron Man - a character who anchored $20 billion worth of movies - but then he won for his supporting role in Oppenheimer - not because he was far and way the best supporting actor that year, but in large part, because he had a pretty good performance and the Academy wanted to reward him for all his work on Iron Man and what it did to the movie industry. Why not just give him the award for Iron Man?

Every Loser Film buff prefers Batman Begins but the villains don’t really sell it imho.

Inception is probably the most popular Nolan Film.

The Academy has 10,000k members. You aren’t going to get that many of them to vote for a capeshit performance. The whole point of having an awards show is to take themselves overly seriously and to market Serious Films imho.

Batman Begins is literally an hour too long and drags like hell.

Inception is incredibly dumb unless you're a woman or a child. The whole premise is corny and stupid.

Also no film buffs like Interstellar it's widely regarded as pure shit.

Oppenheimer was a Triumph and the Academy has always been full of artfags who prefer drama over blockbusters.

Gbti and/or refill your tampons.

the best comedy director of the 21st century is mr. oizo.

The Young Vito sequence is extremely simple but powerful. It's not incredible storytelling but it is emotionally impactful and worthy. But the Michael vs Fredo plot is just a mess. I actually think there's some good stuff in there but it's too drawn out. It 100% gets too slow and boring. By the end no one cares about the hooker in Vegas with the Senator and the guy slitting his wrists before he testifies and who the hell is Hyman Roth? Anyway it's like a decent 8/10 could have been cut for time. OG Godfather is a flawless Film. Part III is an unwatchable turd.

He had taken the bug pill. Azn wife.

The Fredo stuff also gets too dark btw and there's no real "point" to it arguably. I think you could read into it though, and it's possible that Michael would blame Fredo being a Joke for getting the Don shot to begin with (and sucking too much in general to take over) and leaving him no recourse but to get involved in the mafia life, but idk there were several assailants. obviously this is Loser conjecture and not what anyone intended. Btw I think it benefits from a bit of verisimilitude just from having an Ashkenazi Jew be the villain.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5762695&forum_id=2в#49188912)

Anyway yeah it kind of makes no sense because he wouldn't get shit if Michael were killed, the capos would just kill or ignore him, Frank Pentangeli or someone would take over. So basically he was relying on the Jew to give him money or casinos as a Reward lol.

thought it was ok when i first saw it. expected to hate it every time i watched it since but actually liked it more and more

also it was always pretty funny but a lot funnier and more absurd now since things have changed so much, including what we've heard about kevin spacey
