Superhero movies are always a must watch for me. Be it from the stables of DC or Marvel to any other franchise. In fact once I saw the trailer and it's a superhero movie. I'll definitely put it in my watch list anticipating its release. Then I either download it if it's already on Netflix or I see it at the Cinemas .
But recently these superhero movies tend to bore me with their persistent dark scenes. Already I struggle to see what's on the screen on a normal bright movie with the help of my glasses. This is because my vision appears blurry. Now imagine when the pictures are dark.
I could manage some Marvel movies. I don't think they're really that dark compared to DC movies. Recently DC movies appear darker than before. Like the Batman trilogy by Christopher Nolans had a bit of bright light. But the recent ones like the Batman vs Superman, it was like almost every scene from the movie was dark. This same thing applies with Suicide Squad.
In Wonder Woman, the island scene seemed bright with colourful scenes until they got to Diane's fight scenes in London. They switched back to the dark and dim scenes that make it boring to watch visually.
Makes me wonder why it's so, why so dark?. Why don't they just increase the brightness in these movies? Is it a part of the directing routine for superhero movies? Or is it just the way they wanna keep making gloomy and dark movies for us movie lovers?.
