DaCostaBR: I guessed from the title that this thread would be inspired by the Escapist article by MovieBob, but I haven't read it. Nowadays I avoid giving that guy any views. So I can't speak to the what's in the links you provided.
Still, my opinion on Ridley Scott is that he doesn't seem to do very well chasing his past successes. Robin Hood seemed to want to be some kind of medieval version of Gladiator, and Prometheus fashioned itself as an Alien prequel, and both ended up feeling a bit misguided in their efforts. Perhaps if he focused on something completely new again he'd fare better.
Elmofongo: I know Moviebob has been pissing me off lately, especially when it comes to some moives
Man of Steel was not that great but it certainly is not the worse Superman thing ever, that prize goes to Superman At Eartth's End.
And I like Zack Snyder's style. And I cannot wait to see Dawn of Justice. Even if it ends up lackluster the action is gonna be awesome.
But this movie (and the amazing spiderman 2) are the only few times I agree with him.
Well, for me it's less a matter of disagreeing than it is a problem with his attitude.
He has this "If you don't agree with me you're wrong" kind of way that irks me even when I do agree with him. That and such a lack of professionalism. When he doesn't like a movie he flat out won't review it. Oh, he'll still make a video about it, like The Expendables where he just called anyone who went to see it an idiot, or The Amazing Spider Man 2 where he spent the whole run time complaining that the movie "broke him", he just, you know, won't actually talk about the movie itself.
And you mentioned more of a problem with him in movies, I wonder, have you ever seen his Game Overthinker show? That one is pretty hard to watch.
