Super hero fatigue or bad movie fatigue?
Last night I watched sin city for the third time. It's never an easy watch, the subject matter is horrid a lot of the time, yet the heroes make it worthwhile. Clearly the world is not ours, as people survive electrocution, and severe dismemberment, but it's grounded in reality.
Stylistically I imagine it must have been amazing to shoot, with the white space being so prominent in the comics, some shots are perfectly noir only to switch to entirely light shots out of a shot being all in the dark.
Amazing cast, unique distinct style, interesting scenarios.
Now im not your average MCU enjoyer, the last marvel movie i watched in the cinema was infinity war and i never watched endgame. That being said I love the dark knight, the punisher and daredevil. I even watched the entire season of jessica jones in a weekend.
So i find it curious that we say "superhero fatigue" when I think superhero movies are just too much of the same. The fatigue isnt the genre, but the execution. Nobody is willing to break bones or bleed somebody out. There is an over reliance on cgi that somehow is supposed to replace all physical things which looks horrible.
Thoughts? Opinions?
Personally I would embrace if they made movies like in the 2000s, lots of cgi when necessary and good, but practical when possible. Go hard, dark, and dare to be different. For example, if they made Venom an R rated horror movie, it would have been amazing, yet they made it bland and of course I havent bothered to watch the second one.
