A lot of people have been weighing in on the subject of superhero fatigue lately, especially after the genre has had several recent failures, especially those who have had solid hits in the past. Including.
Some people dismiss the concept not because the genre itself is disgusting, but rather as bland or bad filmmaking. That was evidenced at the box office this weekend, when the Spider-Man spinoff Madame Web received dismal reviews and fell short of box office expectations.
Still, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the big-name producer who helmed the Transformers and G.I. Joe series and produced Madame Web, weighed in on the subject in a recent interview.talk to talk about movies Yesterday, promoting the project, he said:
“I think there are two things going on with Marvel.” [the MCU] And DC. First of all, I think these kinds of superhero movies have suffered a little bit because they’ve moved away from what made, say, the first Iron Man or Christopher Nolan’s Batman successful. Those were really character-based movies.
And when you start getting into big movies where you try to tie all the worlds together, you actually end up moving away from the emotional journey of the central character.
So part of the fatigue for me is having to keep track of everything now. You know, it’s almost like homework. With Madame Web, you don’t need to know anything about what’s in the movie. You will meet new characters and go on an emotional journey with them.
Which brings me to my second point, which is that a lot of superhero movies these days have moved away from their original function of having extraordinary characters, getting to know them and going for rides with them.
This makes it more character-based, more engaging, and more than just a spectacle. Believe me if you’ve seen some of my movies, I love spectacle. But I think there’s a lesson to be learned when the spectacle itself starts to exhaust the film. ”
Whether he heeds his lessons is another story. “Madame Web” currently has him at 13% (3.4/10) on his 172 reviews from critics, but only at 54% in the audience. rotten tomatoes – Worse than Morbius (critics 15%/audience 71%) and the second-worst recent Marvel movie behind the short-lived Inhumans TV series (11%/43%).
The news comes as Johnson said it. magic fm She hasn’t actually seen the movie yet, as she tends to avoid watching her own movies, but added, “Not watching my movies is like self-care.”
