Edited some of the previous posts because after cooling down, I regretted implying bad faith on Bob's part. I think he's being honest, and he's one of the good guys as far as politics go, and an ally against the people that are REALLY messing this country up.
Let me just give another example...
Yeah the Arya scene is meant to be a bit troubling IMO. She begins to become more and more like the hound - like all the killers in the show. It was no longer a case of self-defense, or the reaction to unspeakable provocation (like when she killed the Frey men who had just killed her mother...
While the global war on terror paradigm predates Obama, this was about the assassination program, which is unique to Obama, who went further in Bush in being the first president to openly order the assassination of a US citizen. Likewise the use of NSA gathered data to engage in "pattern...
Bob is really wrong here. The film IS good, let's be clear. What it's not is:
1) About GWB and the Iraq war. The film is EXPLICITLY about the Drone program, the kill list program, and the NSA data mining that feeds it. It's about the Obama administration, and the film makers even said as...
More mindless Nolan bashing by Bob to start the video - no thanks. What's hilarious is the new twists his putting on it to cover his own tracks. After getting owned as to the themes and metaphors in Man of Steel (he didn't catch any of them), he's now pretending he saw them all along and that...
Movie was kinda "meh". For starters, as other critics have pointed out, they missed a better movie, i.e.: Why montage your way through the first Gaiju sightings? That sh*t would've been awesome!
The movie is overlong. Long stretches of boredom somehow managed to infiltrate a giant robot...
It sounds like you're another one that didn't even watch the movie.
Nolan may be the producer movies deserve, but clearly not the one they need right now. They need someone better with coloring books and sing alongs to start to remedy the fan base.
Also in case anyone thinks it's unfair to assert that Bob has a political bias against these films, consider:
-He trashed the politics of Star Trek Into Darkness. What were those politics? A rejection of extrajudicial assassination i.e. the main counter terrorism policy of Bob's favorite...
I think the reason my post seemed "weird as hell" to you, is because you don't have the slightest clue as to what you're talking about. Democrats openly reject both pacifism (as any sane person should) and egalitarianism (unfortunately). Neither are they a left wing party (at least not for MANY...
Consider that Bob is the same reviewer that defended hot garbage like Ironman 3.
I'm not sure if it's "how dare non-comic fan Nolan re-imagine my exclusive domain!!" (ever notice how Bob's favorite passive-aggressive put down is that Nolan/Abrams/etc "don't get" the material?)
I think it...
The movie was amazing. Ignore Bob on this, he's simply continuing his jihad against Nolan.
He is being willfully obtuse in summarizing the movie:
"Brooding teenager?" - No. Demigod that's aware of his powers, and is grappling with an identity crisis in superbly acted scenes...
Except that makes no sense. Iron Man has been hit by lighting, and lighting can generate an instant temperature of 30,000C approximately TEN TIMES THE TEMPERATURE OF THE LAVA GUY http://news.discovery.com/earth/is-lightning-hotter-than-the-sun.htm
So ITT: If instant melting was the issue...
Now, regarding Bob's review, it has to be said: The weird hate crusade against Nolan and the Batman trilogy has gone from quirky to juvenile. It's at a point where Bob is clearly trying to come up for post-fact rationalizations as to why these weak "real" comic movies, are somehow better than...
