my 3rd comment in this fringe section of the internet about this dreadful story.
2 big problems with this movie:
first, i didn't like the first 10 minutes and, when that happens with a movie that have bad reviews, it's certain that it will be terrible. beware. if you don't like the beginning, you better stop there...
but the movie have enough action, mystery, and magic that it still lures in most people... so it becomes exponentially harder to stop if you're watching this late at night in bed with your romantic partner who can almost never quit a movie in the middle.
second, the final parts... i will reply to this comment with sp0ilers, if you want to read. but, trust yourself: if you didn't like the beginning, the ending is even worse, it is actually of the worst kind possible!
need a better still similar hero movie suggestion? watchmen obviously. kickass is slightly different, but much better than both. i also disliked "the boys" and it's a series, but it's still much better than this. heck, even the incredibles, with all their well-pointed-by-wisecrack missogeny will certainly entertain you better. which calls for the good animated ones, megamind and despicable me. have you watched them all already? try the whole evangelion. you need to endure until the glorious ending, though. need something fresh? sorry. best one i can recall would be doctors strange, the first one. marvel disney only went downhill from there. dc was never really a match, except for batman obviously... and a few others. if you just want to chill on a movie with good story, try perhaps "la belle verte". i got plenty of chaotic suggestions on my imdb lists and around the web. just search for cregox movies or films. :kissing_heart:
i will talk mostly about my own story, but only as it relates to the film.
it describes a lot of my own "(lack of) love" story. except i lived it for about 4900 days and today i wait to get to that "magical" 5000, out of the current darkness (that feels like 10k years).
my "summer" also behaved like an avoidant since day 1, and me as the "play it cool" anxious one (i obviously only learned this in retrospect).
but mine never did and probably never will marry another man (although she have a rebound for excruciating 200 and some days now). i "married" her near day 200. and she "divorced" me around 4800.
so i believe my case will become different, as she will be "my autumn", after we both learn what we need to learn about life, while apart for those last 500 to 1000 most painful days of my whole 42y life.
definitely i still haven't had my last goodbye meeting with her. and i will not say if the film actually do that or not, but my ex insist on ignoring me and asking me to let her go, that we tried everything before she decided she couldn't anymore (and i know people think i should "respect" her desire, even though i almost always said that i would, and i mostly did).
the film does, however show a happy ending, in which they both get everything they need/deserve in the end. like nearly all stories ever told. and what makes my case so much more complex other than the 10x more days lived, will forever be that i know/feel that she also feels but don't know the impossible love we have for each other and our relationship (never our "marriage"). my feeling and knowledge, however, only solidified, like in the movie, on those final dark days, starting around 4000.
so, in this sense, i am a living example that this film ain't just fiction.
