So no ones going to mention the ass on Jessica Sula?

I'm mixed on it. I think it was interesting and a well thought out concept but something just feels missing or incomplete. Everyone's actions just didn't seem appropriate for the situations they were in.

What's the appropriate reaction to such weird scary situations by people

Spoiler: Night Dogg is a Genius

still processing how much balls it takes to go out and create YOUR OWN comicbook universe right in the middle of the DC/Marvel war. and this shyt is better than EVERY DC comicbook movie ever made and the best comicbook movie of the last 5 years at least.

why?

it's like standstill dunks and breakaway runs on video games. what the fukk am i talking about? lemme explain. when i was a kid, all the sports video games where just rife with unrealistic trash. shaq could be right underneath the damn basket and would shoot a weird fade away layup. there were no standstill dunks until 2000 when the first 2k dropped on dreamcast. in madden, the fastest muhfukkas in the world where getting caught from behind...just walked down. from joey galloway to bo jackson to randy moss...walked down in the open field. BULLshyt.

and that's how i feel when i watch comicbook movies. nothing feels "REAL". i wanna see these people doing the most mundane shyt possible, so that when it becomes time to be SUPERHUMAN, i have seen the human part before i see the super. ironman comes closest to this, which is why it changed the game, but it STILL feels cartoonish. it's warped somehow. whether it's the acting, the set design, the effects...it's too big and it begins to lose its integrity. it feels like it's for teenagers. that would be cool if i weren't two decades removed from being a teenager.

what Night Dogg has been able to do in Unbreakable and now Split is create superheroes and supervillains in the most hyper-realistic universe you'll ever see on film. they EAT fukkIN FOOD, they hunch their shoulders when they walk, they genuinely cry...and they do it without being prompted by MUSIC, so it feels authentic and the loneliness and despair just leaps of the screen. it's the most detailed shyt i've ever seen in film, given the genre. that's why they get called -suspense-thrillers when they are, in fact, comicbook movies. people don't know what to make of them, because the dude absolutely refuses to coddle audiences and let them off the hook with "Oh, nothing going to really happen to these kidnapped girls...this is just a comicbook movie...winkwink"...nah, these bytches gon get eaten alive by a fukkin psycho supervillain and it's gon look real and it's gon be tragic. it's not gon be ben kingsley in a cave twisting his fukkin mustachio and taunting ironman and we all watch that bullshyt like suckers waiting for our dogg tony stark to...Dun Da Da Dah...save the day...NOPE. that is easy and been done do death. it's so formulaic and insulting i can't take them shyts seriously after seeing split.

night dogg has upped the ante on comicbook movies and nyggas need to be thanking him instead of hatin.

so this movie is better than the dark knight ???

IMO

 

[23Barrettcity]

IMO

But not better than im2 and Thor the dark world ? . I really liked split and been defending it but how about we keep the Stan wars stuff in their related threads.

I was asked for my opinion and I gave my opinion. Dark Knight not sacred to me. It's mostly a big score, FX spectacles and a great performance, like most Nolan films. Them joints all feel like soulless, paint-by-numbers money grabs to me.

Sorry.

 

[fukkyalifestyle]

Just saw it, I liked it a lot. Would be awesome to see a sequel to this that ties into the end. They left this movie open on multiple fronts.

 

[jackswstd]

M. Night found some of his old magic, very good movie. McAvoy gave a brilliant performance juggling all the different personalities. The ending gave a strong possibility for a sequel. That surprise cameo was

you think Thor 2 is better than the dark knight?

 

[Basaglia]

Nah, I said it's better than any DC movie and the best comic book movie of the last 5 years. I liked CA: Civil War a lot, mostly because they finally got Spidey right.

 

[FlyRy]

That ending

'Split' Spoiler: M. Night Shyamalan Breaks Down Film's Shock Ending

I'm glad that I didn't go see that test screening a few months ago because they didn't include that scene. It really saved the movie for me I was feeling it was getting a bit too silly and far too long but that put it in an entirely new light

 

[ndthentherewasx]

Saw it today. Highly recommend.

Spoiler: If you seen it only

but Unbreakable




Seems like a money grab.. didn't even know that existed


Gotta go watch that now

Not a Bruce Willis fan

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Saw it today. Highly

Spoilers breh.
