It’s was the summer of ‘93. And 2 films were vying to be the top summer blockbuster.
One film had Arnie team up with John McTeirnan, and make a spoof and a homage to action films, and so A-List actors of the time signed up, even for a 3 second Cameo.
The other film, about Dinosaurs running amok on an Island.
Last Action Hero got crushed. But I always felt the film got a raw deal. Jurassic Park was a better film no doubt.
But what was it, that made the critics hate on LAH.
Then 10 years later McTiernan went to jail for a bit, and is now blackballed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wait... Jurassic park has dinosaurs.. 🤯 no point watching it now I guess.

Just finished watching the two spider verse films.
First one was excellent, wish I had made the time to watch it before.
The second one was a let down following the first, felt like half a movie, "villain" sucked, left out the best version of Spiderman
And just too many different and at times inconsistent art styles, plus some of the graphics sucked, like it was missing frames etc, and dont try tp tell me it was done on purpose, no one does that with a film.
Into = 9/10
Across = 6/10

Nah, have you watched the first one recently? I wonder if there's a time/anticipation element to your belief it's better.
Second one is like the dune film, it's half a story, but it didnt really advertise that going in. The ending was also pretty predictable, and some of the art choices were inconsistent, are you doing spoiler chat for it already?

This has to be trolling.
I can accept the incomplete element but the various art styles were a strength, not a weakness. They added a uniqueness to each character and their story. Gwens world looks different because it is a different universe and a different iteration of the spiderverse. The same goes for the other spiderpeople.
The animation was excellent and I certainly didn't think they sucked. In fact, I don't think I've come across anyone or read any reviews that have criticised the animation.
Lastly, I have no issue with you rating the first movie a 9/10 but giving Across the spiderverse a 6/10 is baffling. I'd be curious to know your ratings for all the phase 4 MCU movies.

I get the fact that each world has a different styling, and it was interesting.
However take Gwen's world, you see it at the start of the film and it's very much in her character, bright and like miles world has a lot of highlights using his colour scheme.. when we revisit Gwen's world later it's all washed out pastel versions of her suit colours, it looks terrible.
The animation point was also tongue in cheek if you missed it, given The flash is getting marked down for it's CGI (allegedly a design decision
I can't give such an incomplete story (especially when it wasn't advertised as such) a full score, nothing was really resolved, it felt like half a film, there was no real villain..
Marvel phase 4 is pretty awful so far, second time in a week you are trying to link my rating of a film back to the entirety of phase 4 for some reason 🤷🏼♂️
Into is a better film than across, into is a complete story, with original art styling and a good comic book character arc, its amusing with some good jokes and does a great job of introducing people to Miles on the big screen. It's a standout film
Cross sets up a potentially epic Third film, but is in itself just a 2.5 hour vehicle for the next film, it's art style is obviously the same as the first film, and the variation is interest but its inconsistent, i.e. gwens world, popart guy and jettisons some of the more memorable characters from the first film (spider pig) yet draws on his gags (vulture wing/hammer) And webslinging horses and t-rex were a little too far in an attempt to inject some comedy. Miles fleeing so many utterly useless and incompetent Spidey's was also a pretty lame scene, they were a mob of brainless drones.
I think if you watch the two back-to-back (as I did today) it's pretty clear to see what's better.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
I actually watched the first movie the day before I went to watch Across the spiderverse. I've also seen Across the spiderverse twice now and on both viewings, I felt it was a better movie than the first.

Well, the animation is deliberately jerky, I acknowledge it was a design decision and not just cutting corners, but the art style just doesnt look as unique the second time around, which i think they try to balance out with all the different looking universes.
Hopefully this one doesn't cause as many epilepsy/motion sickness issues 🤣

Looks ok and Kraven is one of the more interesting Spidey villains, but the Morbius trailers looked ok too, as did Venom 2.
In regards to Gwens world changing colours, I thought this was brilliantly done and it reflected her state of mind and where she was in her journey. When she returned to see her dad, she returned to a universe that she had left behind in disarray. The pastel affect added to the whole feeling of helplessness that Gwen had. She didn't know what the right thing to do was and pastels made it seem like a dream.

Well, interesting you say that, cos one way of avoiding motion sickness is to frame drop.
Given the style, it was easy to do.. They would apply motion blur, and maybe drop the Luminance levels.
And well, Frame dropping, it’s easier to get away with in Animation than Live Action.

It looks like another Venom, where they will neuter the character do a level that's more palatable for general audiences. The fact that Kraven is making jokes in the trailer doesn't bode well.

Which is no less inconsistent when you consider Miles universe, no?
It looked washed out and shiiiiitty, if it was a design aesthetic, I think it was poorly done, the whole film trades on the different feel of each universe, having them change and adapt to the spideys feelings muddy that (in my opinion)
The biggest issue is the lack of real story regardless, no real character arcs, it's all just a setup for act 3, and I'm not sure that was communicated going in, and it's clear that studios are still failing to pick up on why the MCU was such a success, almost every film can stand alone, they almost all have a proper story to tell, whilst moving a larger story on a tick.
There are countless trilogy's spawned from standalone films where the second film is the worst of the bunch, so it's not unusual territory for cinema.

I don’t trust Sony....
looks ok, but... you know, we’ve been burned time and time again.... Proceed with caution..

Plus after Morbius the only way is down.
Can't beat perfection.

Just finished watching the two spider verse films.
First one was excellent, wish I had made the time to watch it before.
The second one was a let down following the first, felt like half a movie, "villain" sucked, left out the best version of Spiderman
And just too many different and at times inconsistent art styles, plus some of the graphics sucked, like it was missing frames etc, and dont try tp tell me it was done on purpose, no one does that with a film.
Into = 9/10
Across = 6/10
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This has to be trolling.
I can accept the incomplete element but the various art styles were a strength, not a weakness. They added a uniqueness to each character and their story. Gwens world looks different because it is a different universe and a different iteration of the spiderverse. The same goes for the other spiderpeople.
The animation was excellent and I certainly didn't think they sucked. In fact, I don't think I've come across anyone or read any reviews that have criticised the animation.
Lastly, I have no issue with you rating the first movie a 9/10 but giving Across the spiderverse a 6/10 is baffling. I'd be curious to know your ratings for all the phase 4 MCU movies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I get the fact that each world has a different styling, and it was interesting.
However take Gwen's world, you see it at the start of the film and it's very much in her character, bright and like miles world has a lot of highlights using his colour scheme.. when we revisit Gwen's world later it's all washed out pastel versions of her suit colours, it looks terrible.
The animation point was also tongue in cheek if you missed it, given The flash is getting marked down for it's CGI (allegedly a design decision
I can't give such an incomplete story (especially when it wasn't advertised as such) a full score, nothing was really resolved, it felt like half a film, there was no real villain..
Marvel phase 4 is pretty awful so far, second time in a week you are trying to link my rating of a film back to the entirety of phase 4 for some reason 🤷🏼♂️
Into is a better film than across, into is a complete story, with original art styling and a good comic book character arc, its amusing with some good jokes and does a great job of introducing people to Miles on the big screen. It's a standout film
Cross sets up a potentially epic Third film, but is in itself just a 2.5 hour vehicle for the next film, it's art style is obviously the same as the first film, and the variation is interest but its inconsistent, i.e. gwens world, popart guy and jettisons some of the more memorable characters from the first film (spider pig) yet draws on his gags (vulture wing/hammer) And webslinging horses and t-rex were a little too far in an attempt to inject some comedy. Miles fleeing so many utterly useless and incompetent Spidey's was also a pretty lame scene, they were a mob of brainless drones.
I think if you watch the two back-to-back (as I did today) it's pretty clear to see what's better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
I actually watched the first movie the day before I went to watch Across the spiderverse. I've also seen Across the spiderverse twice now and on both viewings, I felt it was a better movie than the first.

Right , ok... so you’re saying you were joking about the frame drop in Animation?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the animation is deliberately jerky, I acknowledge it was a design decision and not just cutting corners, but the art style just doesnt look as unique the second time around, which i think they try to balance out with all the different looking universes.
Hopefully this one doesn't cause as many epilepsy/motion sickness issues 🤣

Looks ok and Kraven is one of the more interesting Spidey villains, but the Morbius trailers looked ok too, as did Venom 2.

In regards to Gwens world changing colours, I thought this was brilliantly done and it reflected her state of mind and where she was in her journey. When she returned to see her dad, she returned to a universe that she had left behind in disarray. The pastel affect added to the whole feeling of helplessness that Gwen had. She didn't know what the right thing to do was and pastels made it seem like a dream.

Well, interesting you say that, cos one way of avoiding motion sickness is to frame drop.
Given the style, it was easy to do.. They would apply motion blur, and maybe drop the Luminance levels.
And well, Frame dropping, it’s easier to get away with in Animation than Live Action.

It looks like another Venom, where they will neuter the character do a level that's more palatable for general audiences. The fact that Kraven is making jokes in the trailer doesn't bode well.

Which is no less inconsistent when you consider Miles universe, no?
It looked washed out and shiiiiitty, if it was a design aesthetic, I think it was poorly done, the whole film trades on the different feel of each universe, having them change and adapt to the spideys feelings muddy that (in my opinion)
The biggest issue is the lack of real story regardless, no real character arcs, it's all just a setup for act 3, and I'm not sure that was communicated going in, and it's clear that studios are still failing to pick up on why the MCU was such a success, almost every film can stand alone, they almost all have a proper story to tell, whilst moving a larger story on a tick.
There are countless trilogy's spawned from standalone films where the second film is the worst of the bunch, so it's not unusual territory for cinema.
