What the fuck was his problem?
>>
>>82251258
Why did people like Chronicle enough to give Max Landis a career? The plot was generic. Edgy kid with dying mom and abusive dad gets superpowers. Black kid who befriends him is the first one to die.
>>
>>82251329
wow learn to spoiler faggot
>>
>>82251349

>the premise is a spoiler
>black guy dying first is a spoiler
>>
>>82251258
he was bullied and his dad was abusive
>>
>>82251384
>the plot was generic

that's all you had to say
>>
>>82251329
>still a better capeshit than marvel or dc has made
>>
>>82251476
Not really.

>>82251467
>spoiling a 10 year old movie when you could have downloaded and watched it at anytime thanks to the internet
It's hardly a spoiler. I highly doubt you'd ever watch it if you haven't already
>>
>>82251384
They have feminine penis right?
>>
>>82251502
it is tho. Its good cause it feels real where something like marvel or DC it feels like more fiction and fantasy than chronicle does
>>
>>82251523

No, she's a woman, and she's a real clown not just a cosplayer or fetishist.
>>
>>82251349
go back queer
>>
>>82251593
>it feels real
>yet another teenage outcast with superpowers movie
No, not really.
>>
>>82251759

What made it feel real was that they were teenage boys just dealing with their own lives. It never turned into "Save the world" shit like all the comic book movies do. The superpowers felt like a catalyst for these character's normal lives rather than a way to dovetail into some moment where they all become "superheroes."

That said, I thought the ending sequence didn't fit and ruined both the tone and scale of the movie. If they just didn't make the ending so fucking bombastic and """high stakes""" it would have been a perfect movie.

I think it was great, I can't imagine how the film would have ended without the theme of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object and the resulting destruction and tragedy. It was everything the end of Man of Steel tried to be, and it was believable to the story and characters.

Akira rip off

There is not one unique idea these days. Sure this movie had some commonly-used formulas, but the execution was well done and so the movie was generally well-received.

>b-but tropes!

Name one movie that doesn't borrow it's ideas from some other story. You can't.

Say what you will about Landis, but know this...

Bright will be the next Star Wars.

You heard it here first.

It's five years old anon, five years...

So I guess there's no sequel ever?

This

>>82251329
Wasn't generic at all. How many American movies are about kids getting super powers and just dicking around with them, instead of having to fight some super villains?
>>
>>82251329
This >>82251476

shaky cam absolutely ruined this for me even though I really liked the premise. Wished there were more deconstructions of the superhero genre that showed what would happen if real people got superpowers.
>>
>>82251258
He was pretty good in A Cure for Wellness. Good movie and I recommend you all go and see it.
>>
>>82255223
Watchmen.
>>
>>82251476
What, ever? Nah.
I've seen 98 theatrically-released capeshit films and I have Chronicle at number 23, though, so it's certainly better than the majority.
>>
>>82255223
Never seen unbreakable?

Don't forget Split.

If we count Unbreakable as capeshit, does that mean we count Split as capeshit?
Serious question.

>>82255910
yes

Ever met somebody who was abused pretty terribly and very often as a child? I know of two, and they are not very bright. It fits.
