All I can say is that, for most of these big budget movies (ALL of them, SW, Marvel, DC, X-Men, Apes whatever), I watch em once...never go back to em ever again. MMFR....sheeeiit...I might watch that again tonight.
^The visuals....
The music....
All of them working together as a team for the first time....
Toast The Knowing reloading the clip....
This shyt is beautiful....
MMFR just
distills EVERYTHING these action movies are usually about, down to their very core, and by doing so, it manages to transcend the genre that it's in. While I know there are those that will cite
The Raid, or maybe even
Dredd, as doing the same thing. I'd genuinely have to disagree. They don't do the same thing for me. They still feel like "just" action movies for me. MMFR has this....internal confidence that's hard to come by.
In the modern era, where everything is based off of some existing nerd property, worried about "canon", worried about the tie-ins and sequels, and trying to cram all of this worthless lore and exposition into every frame...it's just so REFRESHING to see a movie, based on an existing franchise no less, confident enough to just tell the story as it's played out in the world. No explanation for every little thing. No need trying to handhold the audience through every single plot point. The MM world just *is*, and we are fortunate to get a small peek inside of it.
How is my opinion any different than all the folks in this threads who also think the movie was also overrated, only a 7 out a 10 movie.
Why the diss to mega?
