        As much as I hate the toxic POS that is Mark Millar, he did write a good comic book there. Shame about the shitty film.

      That one is not bad if you go in knowing that it’s just fucking ridiculous. It’s great for a bad b-movie night.

        I went in knowing it from the comics and was not amused. Even worse than Snyder making Rorschach the good guy in Watchmen. Even misunderstanding/deliberate sabotage of everything from the source is better than just ignoring the best part of the plot.

        How the hell do you take a setting where the supervillains won and end up with “some dudes just curve bullets bro”

        I didn’t even like the comics but that was just lame

          Watchmen was the only movie I saw people leave.

          Granted, they were probably expecting some generic superhero movie.

        It’s neither bad (it’s entertaining and competently-made even if absurd) nor a B-movie (by definition)

      I loved Wanted, that movie captured what it was like to work in a hive office environment with an equally horrific boss everyone pretended to like, also great action flick that bordered on a superhero movie.

      The screaming in that movie made me want to punch the shit outta the guy getting dragged around by Jolie. God, he screams so annoyingly!

      Bruh, YOU can’t curve bullets, don’t bring the rest of us down with you. I for one have been breaking the laws of physics for years
