District 9
- I might be in the minority but Chappie was a really good movie. It’s a real bummer Die Antword were so horrible to work with that the director kinda gave up on it.
  
  I never understood why they thought it would be a good idea to have them in it. It's not like they are known well enough to have a huge pull
  
  I actually watched the movie because of them.
  Stumbled upon the band on youtube, and I'd never heard anything like it before.
  Plus, their music videos are fucking sick!

  I used to love them until the stories of them being fucking horrible people came out. They've been accused of rape, human trafficking and slavery.
  
  so, average Cape Town citizens
  
  I saw Chappie for the first time last week and was moderately devastated to find out there isn't going to be sequels. It had so much style, humor and personality!
- I remember reading that they were trying to get District 10 done?
  
  Yeah, but before the director made several more movies that were all bad. I don't know how he keeps getting work.
  
  Yeah, that's another that makes no sense to me. People largely dislike all his recent works. "Let's give him a huge budget for a two part star wars fan fic!"
  
  Snyder has an amazing eye for action. Sucker Punch, 300, and Watchmen were all amazing visual/auditory feasts. Everything else about his movies is just average to below average, though.
  Giving him a Star Wars makes perfect sense when you consider what Disney thinks of the Star Wars audience. "Just give them laser sword and space ships and explosions and they'll be happy."
  
  I personally wouldn't put him above Snyder in the visuals category, but I respect your opinion and I don't think you're way off or anything. I can see having that preference.
  
  Blokamp is great at effects and story ideas, he's not a good director. Even District 9 is a bit of a directorial mess but there's enough interesting story there to overcome that. The rest of his films? Not so much.
  
  Teenage boys deserve some love and movies!
  
  I mean, stupid teenage boys will spend what money they have to hang out with their friends... So, it's a viable audience.
  
  His stuff at least manages to make money somehow, so that makes some kind of sense from a money worship point of view. I doubt Blomkamp's movies raked in as much cash though.
  
  And yet M. Night still makes movies. You can’t explain that!
- Bloody prawns!
