Overrated CGI tripe. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (2 children) Since you phrased it ambiguously, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is amazing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children) I’d argue that those are Sony movies, not Marvel. Back when Marvel was financially struggling, they started selling off rights to various characters. Sony bought Spider-Man (and a handful of other characters), and that’s where the Tobey Maguire movies came from. It’s also why the X-men will likely never be a part of the MCU, because Sony owns the movie rights to (most of) the mutants. The Spiderverse movies are basically Sony riding the wake of the Tom Holland hype. To be clear, they’re phenomenal movies. But they’re only tangentially related to Marvel. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago Oh I agree, I was just being pedantic because OP said "Marvel". permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago the spider verse movies are basically Sony riding the wake of the Tom Holland hype But they also have some of the most incredible visuals I've ever seen in an animated movie.

I like them now for the nostalgia, not so much for the movie it is. And after those nothing really spoke to me. I went to see quite a bit of newer movies because my gf and friends do like them, so occasionally I give in and tag along for the company (I distinctly remember age of ultron and infinity war pt I for how bad it was, but the memory of some others I've seen faded the minute we got in the car home) For me these movies all feel the same and formulaic. The stories are predictable, the characters flat and the edit is just too much focused on extreme visuals, spectacle for the sake of spectacle. I find many storylines very forgettable, to the point I even forgot that I've seen some movies before. In the edit, they are trying very, very hard to evoke emotions from the audience using tricks and tropes; but in the end it's all a hollow shell, a cash grab without authenticity. At least, it feels that way for me. I understand many people love these movies, they're just not my thing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 1 year ago And that's totally valid.
