Everything Wrong with Man of Steel
It’s too bad the Cinema Sins people only stick to factual (and sometimes opinionated) errors, because I thought there was a lot more wrong with Man of Steel. Still, enjoy!
They forgot the biggest one! When Superman is holding Zod’s head at the end to keep him from killing that family with heat vision, why didn’t Zod just move his eyes to the side? When using heat vision, can you only look straight ahead? Is that a thing?
See, I could write for Cinema Sins.
Continuing With Today’s Pacific Rim Theme
Here is Everything Wrong with Pacific Rim from our pals at Cinema Sins!
I don’t know why today ended up being a day to pick on Pacific Rim. I love the movie and hope to see more Pacific Rimming soon enough. Now where is the video of Pacific Rim made to look like Voltron, huh? Get on that, Internet! Or the paraody porno ‘Pacific Rim Job’? Get on that, sleazy porno producers of southern California!
Also, watching that, I just found out that Pacific Rim had an end credits scene. Who knew? End credit scenes are the new 3D.
Everything Wrong With Iron Man 3
The good people at Cinema Sins are at it again with Iron Man 3! And this time, they’re using viewer suggestions for some reason…
These are always entertaining. My brother once pointed out to me that these are basically the 2013 equivalent of Mystery Science Theater 3000 or Rifftrax, only much shorter and a bit punchier. Perhaps that’s where our attention spans are these days.
Everything Wrong With Daredevil Misses the Most Obvious Wrongness
The Cinema Sins people have aimed their mighty guns at Daredevil, but they missed the biggest mistake in the film!
Do you know what it is?
Early in the film, when that rapist is on the stand, Matt sure seems to think it’s a criminal trial and that this scumbag rapist will face justice, but everything about the scene is totally wrong. Matt is not a prosecutor or a District Attorney, yet he is clearly questioning the accused rapist on the stand as if this is a criminal trial. Also, if this were a criminal trial, the victim would not be sitting at Matt’s table. District Attorneys represent ‘the people’, as in ‘the state’, not the actual victims. The only way this trial could make sense would be if it were a civil trial and the victim was suing the rapist. In which case, even if the court found in favor of the plaintiff, the guy wasn’t going to go to jail or anything.
So Matt Murdock’s view of ‘justice’ is suing acquitted criminals after the fact? I realize they probably got off on the actual criminal charges, so why not become a prosecutor and make sure they don’t get off? Or why not be the kind of defense attorney who defends wrongfully charged people? Which, frankly, can’t be all that often. And there are times when defense attorneys are assigned to a case by a judge, so there’s no way he could only get by without defending some guilty people. That’s what lawyers do.
Pick on Riddick Day
The Riddick movies are an odd franchise. I’m fairly certain they are propelled solely by the will of Vin Diesel, possibly also by the wallet of Vin Diesel. Are there any hardcore Riddick fans out there? Or does he just desperately want a franchise/character to call his own?
He must be doing something right, because I believe Riddick was #1 at the box office this weekend. So that means it’s the perfect time for Cinema Sins to mock both previous movies!
Pitch Black:
Chronicles of Riddick:
And a good time was had by all. I’ve got nothing against Vin Diesel. I rather like the guy. Plus he’s a huge geek, and that’s always a plus in my book. What’s also a plus? Iron Giant.
