YES! 
I love Wendy!
I thought Wendy was so awesome. She definitely has more of a grasp of right and wrong than Peter or Tink. Plus she’s so sweet.
I love her because she’s basically Alice with different hair
Yes! Kathryn Beaumont was the perfect regular girl thrown into a strange place. She really makes you care. And both characters have stunning animation!
I love her too, in both roles! She has the most dignified voice, too. Half the fun is just listening to her voice. On top of that she’s one of the nicest people as are her characters.
She was lovely and so was he voice <3
And yes, the work of the animators was beautiful too.
Watched Brazil. Pretty weird with a messed up ending. It was alright but I can’t see why it has become a cult. Everyone in the movie seems like a terrible person except for Sam and Harry. I had to write a peaper for it on how it’s universe works like labor, entertainment, free will, medicine, etc.
^Usually it is those types of films that become “cult classics”. They’re the kind of garbage most people don’t care for, but freaks swoon over. Look at Rocky Horror Picture Show. 
Or any of those 70’s/80’s Cannibal fetish movies. No thanks!
I saw Cloud Atlas. I’m confused, and will be re-watching. But I loved Hanks in it! I liked it overall.
Sorry, I think I just saw Brazil being described as garbage.
Brazil isn’t really a cult film. It’s a critical hit. A highly satiric Gilliam extravaganza that holds 98% in Rotten Tomatoes. It’s following is completely serious, not just by “freaks”
If you meant me, I haven’t seen Brazil. I was talking about cult classics in general. Having not seen it, I have no opinion of Brazil.
Man of Steel (2013): This movie definitely had good moments, but the great heart and character development of older Superman media has been totally sacrificed for overbearing action sequences that have you forgetting the purpose of them seconds after they start. Lois Lane also felt terribly shoehorned. Maybe it’s just me because I was hoping this film would give the story a fresh start and present the character in a relatable, human way but it felt very cold and mechanical. Best point I can think of is that some of the cinematography and CG is really nice, but the shaky camera’s overdone. I’m disappointed but if you prefer Superman for the action side of things you might enjoy it more than I did.
Wolf Children Ame and Yuki (2012): I have to say, this is one of the nicest animated movies I’ve seen in such a long time. Maybe it is a tad predictable, but the realization of the character’s emotions is incredibly believable and it managed to strike all the right emotional chords without playing too hard on sentimentality. Beautiful animation too. I think anyone who enjoys Studio Ghibli films should see this. I don’t know that it’s had an official release in the US yet so it probably hasn’t been dubbed, but if you get the chance, see it!
Man Of Steel being that way doesn’t surprise me.
I hate it how one man (Chritopher Nolan) and three films have virtually destroyed every Superhero film. The Dark Knight film series are good, but that doesn’t mean that every other superhero film has to be dark and the hero to “struggle” with his powers.
However, I’ll be seeing Man Of Steel next week.
But if you’re putting it that way, it means it’s no fault of that one man, but of the other ones who try to copy him, isn’t it so?
Anyway, this films has a lot of stylistic similarities to Nolan’s, but being “dark” isn’t necessarily one of them. There isn’t much struggle either, other than what would be normal in a Superman origin story (just as I don’t think the Dark Knight trilogy was particularly heavy on the power struggle part, taking in consideration Batman doesn’t have powers in the first place!)
That said, I did think the film had lots of flaws and could have been much better. I just don’t see them as having anything to do with what you say. Leirin’s opinion, I think, is quite spot on.
That’s what I meant, my wording probably didn’t project that clearly enough.
I exaggerated a bit on my last post, mainly because I’m frustrated that there are so few decent superhero movies. It’s not like they don’t have good source material, they just can’t adapt them well.
As both a film and a comic fan, I’ll have to admit that it’s a tricky source to adapt. So maybe that’s why.
I still think there are very good films in the genre. Note that by good film, it doesn’t mean it’s necessarily faithful to the source.
I understand that^ and yes there are some good films, but very few faithful to the comic books.
I realise things need to be changed for films, but I find most changes are mainly for being the filmmakers vision of the character, which rarely agree with my ideas (and the comic runs).
In my opinion, I could care less about the maker’s vision. Choose one continuity, or a mixture of existing ones. Don’t make up a bunch of shenanigans to make yourself seem “visionary”. I want to see Superman or Batman, not your vision of them. I don’t care what you think they should be, because unless it’s rooted in canon, you’re wrong.
That’s what I was saying in my post^^. I think the root of the problem is that the filmmakers don’t respect the source material enough.
I’ll friendly disagree and I’ll say I think that this constitutes a misunderstanding of the medium.
Comic books, more than most other sources, have always been about the personal interpretation of the (temporary) maker. I don’t think there’s a “true” way to materialize these characters and universes and talking about canon within this medium is a very tricky subject.
Unlike my brother, besides being a film fan, I’ve also loved comics all my life, and I think I know what these filmmakers feel when they approach such a project. I’m not partial to either medium, but I don’t think the motion pictures are committing any sin by continuing what comics have done since their inception: mutating according to each maker’s vision.
Curiously, I’ve been thinking on opening a vacant course at my university named Comics & Film, but I don’t think I will this year.
Donnie Brasco It was an ok movie. The fact that the reason why agent Pistone decided to go undercover was never mentioned made it kind of frustrating to watch. I kept wonder if it was ever going to get mentioned. I don’t understand how something that important wasn’t in the movie. But I thought Al Pacino and Johnny Depp were great. I wonder if I would have liked it more if I never saw Goodfellas.
Frances One of the most depressing movies of all time. I hated seeing her spirit broken. I think it was everybody around Frances who was crazy, not her.
