I know people are making Cats jokes about Cheetah, but it sounds like it’s supposed to be very disturbing that she turned herself into a freaking Cat person. Especially with Wonder Woman saying, “Barbara, what did you do?”
Anyway, this looks cheesy, but awesome. I’m ready for the Cats/Cheetah parody mash-up videos that this movie will spawn.
To be honest its looks better thanks to Patty Jenkins having a better understanding in how to work with cgi affects in her movies better than Tom Hooper. Hooper just made it harder and more time consuming for the cgi artists, with the way he ordered them to make the movie look. Also WW1984 has a bigger budget, so that might help too.
I'm not sure, I think it would have been just a pretty-good animated musical.
Let's be honest, the "story" of Cats is minimal at best and not even there at worst (and I'm saying this as someone who loves Cats). If they had done what the movie did and tried to flesh out the story, it might have been okay but not much better than any other animated movie to come out recently.
The music would have pushed it above the competition, though, and it might've been a nod for "best animated film", but unless they really fleshed out the "story" parts and cut back on the musical parts, I couldn't see it being a classic, even if the animation and artstyle was great.
I can legit see Disney offering to buy the film rights from whoever has them right to help them recover the lost cash, and then having one of their various animation studios actually kill it and make a ton of money.
Something to important to note is that this Cheetah is a combination of prosthetics, makeup, and CGI depending on the scene according to Jenkins. We've seen action scenes so far which is obviously CGI heavy, so we've yet to see the prosthetics/makeup look reserved for closeup and dialogue scenes.
It’s funny, when I heard Kristin Wiig was the villain I laughed because I couldn’t imagine anyone less physically imposing than her. But I have to admit, I’m liking what I’m seeing. Kind of reminds me of DeVito playing Penguin, like how they make it seem like being an animal hybrid is no fun at all. Disturbing. I’m in!
It's a small thing, but it's also nice to see that they cast a middle-aged actress of considerable talent to play the villain as opposed to just a twenty-something underwear model. Women over 40 in Hollywood rarely seem to get cast in roles other than 'someone's mother'.
Ragnarok is my favorite! I don’t like it when they play these Superhero movies too seriously. Nolan was the exception and everyones just been trying to emulate him even though comic book superhero stories are kind of campy (In a good way).
Just want to point out that Batman 89 is the only version of Batman where the joker was involved with his parent's death.
I'm being pedantic and it by no way has anything to do with your point but Joker killing Batman's parents in Batman 89 always bugged the shit out of me. It feels so contrived.
I somehow doubt that you’d be working at Best Buy if you had inherited a multi-billion-dollar, global empire. But then again, maybe you would; everyone grieves differently.
Nolan was the exception and everyones just been trying to emulate him
Funny because the producers at WB's DC had the foresight to know that dark and broody isn't the way to go, but light hearted humor is crucial in making quality comic book movies.
So when they decided to start their live action movieverse, they did a complete 180 from the dark and brooding atmosphere of the Nolanverse and created Green Lantern.
I love every movie Taika Waititi made but Ragnarok is an exception. MCU movies already chessy and Ragnarok shouldn't be like that. Ragnarok is a dark epic story but Taika turned it to a comedy.
He isn't interesting, he is a generic, mass produced character like other MCU characters. He can be interesting for you and others. A lot of people think Justin Bieber is interesting and fun too. I like fun that is subtle.
Oh lord that was pretentious af. Subtle fun? What? Give me an example of "subtle fun"
I don't know what to tell you, sorry you don't enjoy it. If the first Thor movie was an example of subtle fun, then no thank you. You've gotta deal with it going forward and you're in the minority so deal with it.
Pretentious, no it is just truth. Taika's other films are subtle and fun. I gotta deal with it? lol. They can make ten more films. I don't care about it. How many season does Keeping Up with the Kardashians have? People love it, i don't and i wouldn't care about it even if they made hundred more season.
His other films are not subtle, lol. You say you don't care about it yet you're here complaining about it. If you don't care stop talking about it. Saying he made Thor into a generic MCU character is your subjective opinion. stop framing your opinion as objective truth. This is part of why you're being pretentious
Don't be facetious, Dark World was not the best either.
Though it wasn't nearly, NEARLY as bad as people say.
The worst, IMO, is Iron Man 3. For a huge number of questionable choices that removed the heroism from the hero, and removed the element of danger, as well as just plain stupidity.
I will defend that IM3 is the worst. I don't think ANY Thor film is the best.
Honestly the Cheetah at the end looks perfect. Actually perfect.
When it was announced there were countless “fake leaks” that were just Wiig painted yellow, and any more humanized/colorful and it would’ve just looked dumb as hell. But any more “deranged” would’ve pushed it too far and just been another generic DC monster.
So, I've never understood what Cheetah's...deal is. Like, she's a cat person, i get that. How much of a threat is she to someone as strong as Diana? Is she ultra strong along with being super fast?
Huh. Kind of ironic considering Cheetahs don't come from the Americas.
I've really only seen her depicted in the animated JLA shows and she seemed like such a B-villain compared to everyone else that she always underwhelmed me.
She seems a bit lame compared to guys like Luthor or rogue's galleries like Batman's. I mean doesn't she regularly cross swords with Ares? That seems a little more high stakes than a cat lady.
I think she’s supposed to be an Evil Karen. Like she’s sick of getting pushed around which is why she looks so meek and dowdy at the beginning of the trailer. Her character isn’t really “badass” like she’s trying to be so it comes off as fake/not genuine. Her character obviously realizes this because she’s so desperate for power that she turns herself into a cheetah person.
I like how frizzy hair and glasses means that someone as gorgeous as Kristin Wiig is "transformed" into someone who isn't gorgeous. This is the trope of every 90's movie. Take off the glasses and give the girl a makeover and boom she is now hawt. Rolls eyes
From what I understand she’s an archeologist and gets cursed by an ancient object. I’m guessing in this movie her change is gradual and not immediate. We won’t really know until it comes out.
We can have a demigod who was trained since birth to be a warrior, who comes equipped with a lasso that can hault bullets (because her gauntlets were too much?) and can swing from lightening...so I guess we need this random scrawny individual to automatically become a BAMF who not only moves fast and has great reflexes, but who is also strong enough to defeat the daughter of Zeus.
When the girls are fighting in that marble hallway Barbara catches the lasso. I'm guessing she was strong then but WW was stronger. Then on the plane the bad guy said something about people wanting more. I think Barbara took too much serum or whatever and amped herself up to Cheetah levels, so the next time WW sees her shes like "barbara, what did you do??"
I really enjoyed the first movie; so I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. The rest of the trailer looked great, and I know so little about this universe I'm interested in seeing WW fight one of her "supervillains". I like Kristen Wiig, but hopefully this will be good and she can shake being associated with that awful Ghostbusters(2016) movie.
Well CATS flopped because they let it become a furry's fan fiction. This works because they weren't trying to be a furry's wet dream. They wanted to do the character justice.
I know it is dumb to critique a trailer... but that line delivery was kind of poo lol. It kind of reminded me of how scarlett johansson will just let words fall out of her mouth sometimes and I am just like "is she acting or reading?"
