Maybe they are good on a script/acting/cinematography level, but he has never made anything that is great as cinema.

Batman Begins and TDK are better than memento and The Prestige. Forgot about Following 2bh

Yeah Watchmen was alright.
But after "Sucker punch", i can't understand why he would get hired for super hero movies.

>>71445956
I disagree, Knight of Cups was incredibly moving for me, and Malick at his most realized

This is one of the most baffling posts I've ever seen on here. You just admitted that Malick's films are good on every level that matters but at the same time you're dismissing them because of some ridiculous arbitrary reasons.

THIS

>"b-but Speed Racer is so great! Muh flashy colors!"

>The Wachowski Brothers’ Speed Racer comes in Tootsie Pop colors with gobbledygook at its center.

>Speed Racer kills cinema with its over-reliance on the latest special effects, flattening drama and comedy into stiff dialogue and blurry action sequences. It really is like watching the world’s biggest HD television screen—not the visionary advance of Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, Bertolucci’s The Conformist or Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller.

>The narrative cliffhanger about Speed winning the fantastical Grand Prix with a souped-up “interpositive transponder” is less gripping than questions raised by the film’s thinned-out aesthetics and shrill sensibility—the crude, sugar rush of candy colors that the Wachowskis mistake for ingenuity. Speed Racer employs CGI to such extremes that it reverses Disney’s old-time anthropomorphism; the Wachowski’s adaptation simplifies people into cartoons.

>Royalton threatens young Speed with the assertion: “All that matters is power and the unassailable might of money!” Here’s where the Wachowskis’ naiveté is revealed: Nothing in the movie’s style challenges Royalton’s credo. The film’s budget is on the screen along with the Wachowski’s reduction of art to capitalist product. The big race scenes where Speed outguns multi-ethnic competitors who use any means of obstruction and destruction deliberately debase the famous 1959 Ben-Hur chariot race—from realism to digital unrealism. TV’s original Speed Racer series introduced kids to the stylization of anime, but the Wachowskis further it into a distortion of real experience. As in The Matrix, the Wachowskis trivialize the satisfactions of story, emotion, experience and recognizable humanity.

>To be dazzled by Speed Racer’s look is to be an ADD consumer.

There is nothing he does as a director that makes his films unique as cinema.
>>
>>71446560
Ya? Who else makes films like his latest three?

You haven't posted any real argument. How are his films not unique?

Go be a pleb somewhere else. Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, After Hours, The King of Comedy and The Last Temptation of Christ are brilliant.
>>
>>71447217
I'm not a pleb, though. I went through that stage on my way to patriciandom and left Scorsese there, where he belongs. Don't talk to me about being a pleb.
