Just watched terminator again.

>no quips
>no jokes whatsoever
>people getting murdered everywhere
>even the hero dies
Best Terminator movie by far and one of the best thrillers in history.

Why must movies be funny? All the bitching about BvsS being dark arms humorless.

I saw The Terminator in the theatre in 1984, it was awesome then and still is today. Why is everyone such a fucking pleb piece of shit these days?

No fucking clue anon.
Maybe men are just bigger pussies now rather than then.
The best scenes in that movie easily are the Tech Noir and police station shootouts.

even children love shit like this, watching adult gritty stuff is an adventure to them , modern manchildren are the problem

Because autists here would rail on it for being "edgy"

This my kids love this movie

This. It's currently a fad to claim that anything childish is actually mature and anything with mature themes is actually childish. It's basically just desperate contrarianism that will flip back the other direction once a certain threshold is reached.

That movie garbage, who decided that action movies have to be humorless?

>>67663851

Except there were quips.

Terminator is a good movie.
BvS is a pile of shit.

Oh look, another whiny Batman v Superman thread

>hurr look how clever I am conflating these two movies based on their tone

The only two things they shared were tone. One was well written, well plotted, tightly edited and throughly entertaining and the other was batman v superman

The part before it was a joke. And after it.

One of the reasons i like James Bond over Mission Impossible.
>I dislike most the shit you guys say, but i have to agree that i hate quip action flicks.
>>
>>67665479
no, i was saying that The Terminator is 32 years removed from current movie trends, so naturally it's not gonna fit in with the current standards of movie making, therefore negating any serious discussion the OP was hoping to have.

and i've been lurking since 2004 but i'm 24.

>I saw The Terminator in the theatre in 1984, it was awesome then and still is today.

this is the problem

Terminator isn't funny, but he is cool. BvS isn't funny, and it's not cool, either.
>>
>>67663851
I like humor in movies, even serious ones. One of the most memorable things from The Terminator is that one line ("I'll be back"), and that was humor. It was great.

The problem is somehow endless le quipping XDDD is now viewed as humor. I don't know how this ended up happening but it reached its peak in Age of Ultron and it was probably the biggest complaint about the movie. No one liked it, except maybe Joss Whedon and the occasional special ed kid from elementary school. So hopefully that will bring a change to movies being filled with this quipping bullshit and we'll move back to actual humor. You know, like things that make people laugh, rather than cringe.

>>67663851
pretty shit comparison desu, terminator is rated R made on a small budget while BvS was supposed to be huge franchise starter with mass appeal and for that you need stupid one liners and quips
>>
>>67666635

You can't do that
>>
>>67663851

They don't have to be funny but when they are based off of kids characters it's stupid to try to be edgy and dark.
