pixeljunkie Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Watched Baahubali: The Conclusion again in a much bigger theatre hall. I take back what i said earlier about the final battle - it wasn't rushed in any way, the pacing simply picks up. After watching it for a second time i've come to realize how well coordinated and filmed the fight scenes were! Peter Hein is simply brilliant! Rajamouli and Hein make a superb team. I could make out that they seriously thought through on how Bhallaladev and Baahubali would square off. That fight scene definitely wasn't something that was put together at the last moment. Hein's certainly drew inspiration from some famous blockbusters. He could've very well ripped off some the trademark action sequences. But he instead successfully moulded them into the final action sequences that suited our culture. Plus i've realised the real reason behind the success of the Baahubali franchise. It was Prabhas all along and Rajamouli knew this! I hope Rajamouli can discover more actors possess qualities similar to Prabhas whom he can cast in future endeavours!

pixeljunkie Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 It was not just Prabhas. Rana Daggubati, Ramya Krishnan and Sathyaraj were equally brilliant. The idea behind the casting selection was brilliant. But during my second watch, i realised that there is a certain quality to Prabhas that really clicked with the larger audience. And Rajamouli knew that this one quality would attract a massive audience all over India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixeljunkie Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) How International Media Responded to ‘Baahubali 2’ Of the many sequences here primed to cut through jadedness, perhaps the most wondrous is that which finds Baahu guiding Deva mid-battle to shoot three arrows simultaneously – a set piece that speaks both to a love of action, and love in action. The budget’s big, the muscle considerable, but they’re nothing compared with Baahubali’s heart. I knew it! I f***ing knew it!!! I was certain that international critics would find this stylish scene impressive!!! EDIT: I think Rajamouli should end the Baahubali franchise and instead take a few years (say 6~7 years) to elevate the assets, action choreography and visual special effects to Hollywood levels. I'm not sure pursuing Mahabharata or Ramayana this early would be a great idea. If the visual effects and stunt direction in the Baahubali movies are indicators then i'd say even though Rajamouli and Peter Hein are definitely on the right path, they still have some way to go in order to reach a level where they can convincingly realise Indian superhuman deities on celluloid and that too at Hollywood levels. We've waited this long for something like the Baahubali movies to come along. Another 5+ years (or even more) won't hurt.

Star Lord Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Good to see some love for GOTG 2 here I liked it even more than the first part.They outdid themselves.Special effects are seriously out of this world! This is how you make a superhero blockbuster movie.From character development to action,everything was top notch.

WhiteWolf Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) True that. I never knew batista could act so well. Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk Batista was awesome in the movie. He was better than even Rocket imo Story was meh but everything else was fantastic. It's by far the funniest Marvel movie ever.

Max Pain Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Was reading the last few pages of Bahubali argument. It was a great way to pass time. Anyway, just wanted to say, if you want to compare Bahubali to Hollywood films, instead of comparing Bahubali to MCU/DCU/Matrix etc. as you guys are doing, it would be better to compare it to Scorpion King or Conan the Barbarian. All of those have MCs who are stronger and better than others because they are MCs and entire story focuses around them. Well, these Superhero movies are basically the masala movies of Hollywood meant for mass consumption. In fact, most of the movies that are being made these days in Hollywood are, like John Wick, Furious etc. Hence I was comparing Baahubali with such on the basis of entertainment quotient considering their similar nature and targeted audience like most of the people do these days. I don't think there is anything wrong in it unless you are comparing movies like Guardians of the Galaxy/John Wick with The Godfather etc., which do not share any common elements as mentioned above. Edited for clarity. Edited May 11, 2017 by The Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixeljunkie Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) @@The Panda There is no harm in comparing the Baahubali movies with that of MCU/DCU/Matrix. But is it better than the Hollywood franchises? I don't think so but i'm sure that the difference is small. Scorpion King and Conan The Barbarian are popular but they never achieved a cult status like how the Baahubali movies eventually will in India. Long ago, Bollywood set out on a mission to metrosexualize themselves with the sole intention of breaking into Hollywood. But this drastic shift in priorities meant that acting no longer is a serious job in Bollywood. BO figures have superseded acting skills in importance. Just ask Rishi Kapoor. But should Bollywood have made their intentions clear that they were consciously stereotyping themselves? I don't think so. This is where critical thinking factors in. The jokes's on Bollywood fans for allowing themselves to be brainwashed in the first place. They cannot mentally process that India produced an Fantasy Epic using a relatively unknown cast of actors who don't hail from Bollywood. The most damning evidence of brainwashing lies in the fact that the confusion itself is isolated to Bollywood fans. If it's not confused Bollywood fans painting words on big enough rocks to throw at Karan Johar, then it is Rishi Kapoor taking a dig at Bollywood or KKR going back on his original opinion. This has hurt Bollywoods' credibility to the point that their critics cannot even risk reviewing Baahubali: The Conclusion. And on a sidenote, i think that a lot of the fuss over Bhallaladev's wife is unwarranted. Using similar logic, I can just as well ask why Egos decided to return to Earth and plant a tumour in Meridith's head?

Not even the ones which are considered as the best in MCU/DCU have provided an experience like Baahubali for me. Hell, I think it is way better than The Force Awakens and Rogue One. So I do believe that it is better, although I can't say the same thing about Matrix. And on a sidenote, i think that a lot of the fuss over Bhallaladev's wife is unwarranted.

We ignore such stuff in movies like Star Wars and treat it as mystery but when it comes to our's we make a fuss out of it. Well that was not what i was trying to highlight but it's a valid complaint nonetheless. The reason why i brought it up was to stress on how some characters are essential to the plot while some aren't. The true nature of Meredith's death was essential to the plot of GoTG 2 because it was the motivation necessary for Peter to recognize that his father Ego was evil all along. What better and easier way to not only help advance but also simplify the main plot? Sure the writers could've put Peter in a difficult position to chose either his father or his friends. But would the emotional turmoil of making such a decision be enough to motivate Peter to harness the power of the Living Planet to fight off his father had he chosen his friends? In contrast, Bhallaladev's wife is in no way connected to the main plot. So why even bother discussing if she does or does not exist?
