Nor Wonder Woman 1984 no Tenet they are unusual – one is a superhero protagonist with a strange sense of morality, and the other is an incompetent but ambitious Chris Nolan film.
But their online opinions about these films were not infamous:
While memes and mockery are nothing new, the unity presented was unusual – these films did not seem to generate the same level of protection from fans. Critics and viewers seemed to agree that it was both dull, disappointing, or downright bizarre. And while none of them are particularly good examples of their genres, I can’t help but suspect that the reaction could have been much more enthusiastic if viewers had been able to see these films. in the cinema, without threatening to inhale COVID-19.
Christopher Nolan and other hardcore cinemas may come across as cautious, but they are right about the allure of the theater; sharing a movie with friends and strangers, sitting in the black park on sticky seats, munching snacks and being forced to wear a pair of 3D glasses because 2D is not profitable to enough, well … knowledge. Not everyone likes it, but for those who love movies, it really is a fun time.
Christopher Nolan’s films are often rewritten and, arguably, too much, but a film with scale Tenet actually fading to the small screen, losing the sensory effect that comes with thudding speakers. If you don’t have a good established scene at home, the look of these movies can’t follow the plot through it.
The large screen makes you feel the action sequences and avoids plot holes and problem elements. Plus, the hefty price tag seems to be trying to convince your brain that you need to spend that money for something special, for sure; no one wants to lose their hard time and income.
Very expensive superhero movies, like Wonder Woman 1984 ($ 200 million) is built for visuals – even slow visual effects, weightless fists and plenty of green screen can be rediscovered with the big screen punch, to some extent.
Sitting through floaty superhero action scenes at home, half scrolling through the internet, it’s easier to distance yourself, pull in and out of the movie, to see some scenes; shared comments on social media are far less forgiving than smiling audiences.
Without the experience of watching an obstacle in the cinema, their power is greatly diminished – although many Marvel fans thought his words were too brutal, he had a point. Martin Scorsese when he compared superhero movies to roller coasters – they are supposed to be big, fun and adrenaline-infused.
So with the move to streaming, studios might want to reconsider these behemothic budgets; it’s not like there’s no place in the world of streaming for forgettable action movies (Netflix certainly has plenty), but they’re not going to move the same amount of money, merchandise or pop culture without the power of the big screen.
