    It’s not that it’s a bad movie, but some people act like it’s some groundbreaking stuff. But it’s basically taxi driver, but not as good.

      Personally (anecdotal) I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone raving over how this movie was groundbreaking.

      But every time it comes up there’s lots of people saying “ACTUALLY it’s NOT that ground breaking!” a la the stop-having-fun meme.

      I mean yeah it was the “same kind of movie” as Taxi Driver. And Empire Strikes Back was the same kind of movie as A New Hope. Big deal.

      As far as superhero movies goes, it was refreshingly off beat from the rest of the carbon copy avengers movies we’ve had shoved down our throats. And the climax of the movie was really powerful, in a way that wasn’t done before in Taxi Driver or otherwise. The last 10 minutes justified the entire movie on its own.
