I've honestly gotten a little bored of superhero movies. If they can make a new formula for them, maybe i'd watch them, but they always feel the same.

The Batlord

That's why a Harley Quinn solo movie (which is already set in motion) could be so important. She's a different kind of character who would necessitate a different kind of movie, much like Deadpool or Guardians of the Galaxy. Which is also why it's important for Suicide Squad to succeed.

And **** you. I don't care how many superhero movies they release. I'll watch them all and still come back for more. Now if only they'd do a new Swamp Thing movie. That could potentially be massively epic.

In fairness, I love Deadpool. But the only reason I enjoyed it is because of the exact reason that they went a different route. If superhero movies could be a bit more R rated and not play it safe all the time, I would enjoy them way more.

Dredd might be up your alley, if you haven't seen it.

I'm a sucker for superhero movies, especially Marvel.

Have you seen Watchmen? I thought that was stylistically very different to most other films of the genre.

The Batlord

Saw that in 3D in theaters and it was fan-****ing-tastic.

Dredd was surprisingly good. A no bs movie that has a fairly simple premise but delivers on it 100%. A movie that sure, is to a large extent focused on spectacular violence, but it won't treat you the viewer like you're an idiot.
Watchmen .. I could write pages about it, it is imo the best movie of 2009 (and the competition was pretty stiff). Thing is, it's so specific you'll either love it or you'll hate it. It's not a "one size fits all" universal story that "everyone can enjoy". It has a unique style and approach to many topics, things that "mainsteram" superhero genre movies like the x men or avengers are just starting to explore - accountability, consequences of your actions, mixing real historical events and figures with fantasy.

How do you feel about the watchmen movie ending though compared to the graphic novel ending?

Feel free to go into details in spoilers for those who have seen it yet.

It pissed me off. Without the comic within a comic, it doesn't allow you to feel the pain of ozymandias. Also, without the alien, it doesn't give you a cohesive reason for everyone to join together. Russia has no way of knowing if Dr. Manhattan is going to just attack them or not. Doesn't give a logical reason for them to end the war.
