Glad they showed Edison to be the bell end he actually was

Yep, I agree. That whole subplot with their real life rivalry was fascinating.

I really liked Bowie as Tesla. In fact the whole film is really well cast.

Cheers, going on Sat.

Is it as scary as it looks ?

The last decent horror that was out was Sinister ( first one ).

How does it rank compared to that, as it looks quite similar in set up ?

Far superior

The performances were excellent, as was the scenery, I enjoyed it a lot, I'm quite happy for films to fool me and not try and work out the twist, plenty of time to look at the clues after and forget cynicism whilst on a first viewing

I don’t get the popularity of Marvel films. Sure, I can see the attraction of big-budget, mindless action popcorn flicks with cool-looking characters, but there are like 20 of these, they churn them out all the time and they’re pretty much the same film.

My own opinion is there hadn't been a good superhero film since Ironman 2, winter soldier gets a pass

I knew that Fallon wasn't what he seemed but I thought it was to do with Tesla's machine (don't want to give spoilers in case anybody else is going to watch it). Great twist and well set up. Like the 6th Sense, once you know, you can go back and see how the dialogue tells you what's about to happen.

My only gripe was the sci-fi stuff, not sure it really fit with the rest of the film.

Yeah it's a great film, I had similar doubts about Fallon, but didn't see it all playing out like it did.

I know what you mean about the sci-fi angle, it's almost used as a plot device to show how far they're prepared to go.

I don't get how you can think that bolded bit. Sure, we live in a time when all has basically been done before - but to call these things mindless is a cop out and shows you don't really pay attention to them while your watching. They make it look simple, which is the key to making films everyone can watch, but they are incredible undertakings from a production perspective. Some people read comics and some people read novels. Each is an intricately constructed piece of work designed to entertain and the reason why they have made 3.2 Billion with 2 films this year is because they do big budget action fantasy popcorn perfectly. It's really not for everyone but it's not stopping anytime soon.

Your certainly right regarding marvel movies. Imo though Man of Steel and Batman Vs Superman (apart from the terrible Martha line) were good films and a welcome departure in tone from the usual tedious marvel farce.

They were awful films. The only departure was one in quality.
