At first, I thought you said the Sofia Coppola Cut.

I felt like I kept waiting for something to happen, and then it was over. The visuals looked cool but it just didn't do it for me. When an article came out about how the bear was one of the scariest things in movies for a while I laughed

To really, REALLY convince the happy, gay family that they had to be destroyed because of Christian dogma.

I always thought that the parts of the first film where Michael is in hiding in Italy were so well-shot and beautiful. The contrast to the cramped confines of the city and all of its violence is so well-done, especially as that contrast evaporates in an instant and it all comes crashing down.

I love the third movie! In fact, I've been re-watching the first two before a first-time viewing of the Snyder Coppola Cut of III.

Did he say, "Thou shalt not kill" or "Don't shoot the messenger"?

The ‘good wizards’ in Fantastic Beasts actively fight to make sure The Holocaust actually happens!
In the second movie, Grindlewald is addressing his followers in a big speech. He conjures imagery of WWI & WWII (including The Holocaust) and says “This is what the muggles will bring about in the next few years, we need to intervene now!” and the good guys are like “We’ve gotta stop this guy!” 😂

I fully agree and years back I bought the special boxset with hours of cut scenes which I also love to watch lol Dialogue scenes are great when done right like in reservoir dogs etc. Do you also like the third movie?

Or use the Freejack movie premise or a similar premise about yoinking people from disaster seconds before untraceable plane crash deaths. (Can't recall the movie)
These saved people are now living in the future. So history played out the same.

Reply to comment by circular_file in Saw the D&D movie today. It ended up being pretty okay, better than I'd expected. Not going to win an Oscar. but it was fun, scary at moments, engaging and definitely worth the time and money. If you're into that stuff at all, def a good to see. by circular_file
Makes sense. I think I'm going to offer my friend a buy-out. It's going to be an insultingly small discount to hopefully tilt him a little.

Indiana Jones might be responsible for letting WWII happen. Hitler was so obsessed with the Ark and he wanted to open it, and Jones managed to thwarted his plans. Maybe not plot hole but I was blown away.

I mean, not necessarily. Humans are smart enough to travel to the moon and dumb enough to give ourselves cancer and pollute our own planet.

I mean, our air is filled with water molecules, so they'd die as soon as they landed, anywhere, if we use logic. :)

Eternals, they could have stopped so many of them. I guess the less said about that film the better.

Indiana Jones wouldn't have known how bad Hitler was going to be. Raiders of the Lost Ark was set in 1936, and The Last Crusade was 1938.

I think Watchmen semi addresses this. For example, there’s a scene where Edward Blake/The Comedian, is walking out of an alley way and you see two parents with a little boy during the opening montage, which we are lead to assume both of Bruce’s parents lived along with Bruce. Also they use Dr. Manhattan in the Vietnam war and he just dominates everything in which the US ends up winning the war instead of just pulling out and giving up

There is nothing wrong with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And if you think that it is bad because it is about the aliens, then you are an idiot. Besides, Indiana Jones goes against even more powerful and weird beings in the comics.

To me, the first two acts are M Night's best work. That third act definitely needed some work.

The Flash could easily go back in time and free ever prisoner of every WWII concentration camp in an hour and even move them into new homes (that he built 0.00001 seconds ago after a quick breakfast lunch and dinner while carrying the person) and even make Hitler die in a way that looks like suicide.
But all The Flash stories that involve time travel seem to mostly focus on how you're not allowed to change anything, so the only direction that story could go is having The Flash being forced to put the people back into concentration camps, which might not sit well with readers.

Even the cinematography is underatted. Many exterior shots are composed so that the sky (the heavens) is overly dominant in the frame.
