This movie is chalked full of those stupid


Shaky camera CGI quick-zooms.
I remember Avatar using that gimmick a couple times & JJ Abrams Star Trek doing it once or twice, but dear god, Snyder (the man of no subtlety) of course decided he’d use that stupid gimmick in just about every damn action scene in this movie...

Yes is is and I hate that! And on top of that it's an overall cruddy movie as well lol

One of the sillier trends of modern cinema. Shaking your camera makes your film hard to watch more than it adds realism.

I don't mind it. I like this movie.

reply

Me too. I almost didn’t see it after Superman Returns but it’s one of the better DC movies.

Do you enjoy Chalked Full O’ Nuts coffee?

reply

Frankly I don't like coffee at all period. It tastes like crap.

reply

It does. It’s a drug, not a beverage. That’s how I perceive it, and use it. Caffeine is a drug. I use it in athletic training. Period. It’s a means to an end, the release of adrenaline. Booze also tastes like crap. Alcohol is another drug. We agree, amigo.

I was mocking the OP for not knowing the difference between “chock” and “chalked.” Chock Full O’ Nuts (“the Heavenly coffee,” according to the jingle) was a popular brand of caffeine years ago.

“Chock” means “brimming.” “Chalked” means “has a lot of chalk on it.”

I see. To be honest I hadn't read the OP and was just looking at a response someone gave to a post I made 3 months ago. I'd not even remembered posting in this thread until I got the notification someone responded to it.
