Appleseed
I just saw the new Appleseed movie. Sci-fi/fantasy is notorious for doing this:
Supporting character loses their mind somehow and goes on a rampage. Main character gives them puppy dog eyes and pleads with them that they "don't have to do this!" They "can fight it!"
I hate this shit.
Appleseed does this twice. In one movie.
fuck
This movie has every opportunity to take this over used cliche and make it awesome. Almost every character in the movie is a highly trained SWAT member so if your point man goes nuts, do some Aikido throws, Judo holds and awesome non-lethal gunplay until the point man comes to their senses or another teammate comes along and sedates said rampager (vulcan neck pinch, nonomachines, sexy elf cleavage sleeping spell, etc...).
John Woo, I should have known better than to get worked up about another one of your movies.
Just like the first CGI Appleseed movie, it has some awesome moments but the rest of the movie does not keep up its end of the bargain.
