So I finally got around to seeing Alien Covenant..
It actually wasn't too bad.. A few cheesy bits, but overall I enjoyed it.. I think mainly because I had read so many poor reviews about it that I expected it to be an absolute steaming loaf of sh!t..

The Mrs on the other hand.. She was... Umm.. Fairly far from being able to say that she enjoyed it. In fact, it scared and disturbed her so much that when we got home I was forced to watch the second Bridget Jones movie so she could calm her nerves.. :sigh::facepalm:

New Pirates of the Carribean Pretty good I was suprised

[NUGUNS]

Watched John Wick 2 the other day. Bloody good film. Action scenes are insane.

[parksey]

Biggest shock of the year is that Wonder Woman is actually an enjoyable movie. Plot is a b-grade version of the first Captain America, and the dialogue is cheesy - but it's funny and looks great.

By far the best of the new DC films.

[plague]

Get the **** out of here with your Gal Gadot hate.

Go on, get!!!!

Watched the new Mummy movie.

It was worth a watch. Probably wouldnt rewatch though.

Tom Cruise wasn't as unexciting as I thought he was going to be.

2 absolute babes in it but not nearly enough showing of the boobs

[parksey]

Gal Gadot might be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

Sounds like a typical DC movie then

[The Dunster]

Agreed. They are so generic / formulated it's like they simply change the costumes and re title the movie every few years.

[plague]

Speaking of:
There's a LOT of people out there hyping that Black Panther trailer.
To me it looks like yet another run of the mill Marvel/DC flick.

But oh boy you best not mention that out loud.

[pv4]

Whilst I agree it's awesome I'll stilll contend that bank scene in the Dark Knight is even better.

The dark knight as a standalone movie is an all timer. But Batman begins & the dark knight rises actually contribute to the trilogy, so I'm a bigger fan of them in the general scheme of things.

We saw The Mummy Saturday. Hot tip: don't bother. It's terrible..

Someone should have told Universal Studios that.
Not to worry it's going to be hilarious when they waste a ton of money trying to make this whole Dark Universe. I expect Frankenstein, Dracula, Swamp Thing and the Invisible Man to be just as standard.

Why change something that works, Marvel/Disney are swimming in pools of cash whilst it keeps making money nothing is going to change.

But seriously the trailer for Thor: Ragnarok looks the business.

[plague]

But seriously the trailer for Thor: Ragnarok looks the business.

yeah see this one looked like it will play up the humour and chemistry between the Hemsworth bloke and the Hulk bloke.
i reckon it looks good as well (in a 'different' way).
which is good because the other 2 Thor movies were pretty average imo.


but nothing about the Black Panther one moved me.

Yeah both Thor movies have been pretty standard. Ragnarok looks as though it may be more along the lines of GOTG, which I'm excited about.

As for Black Panther, knowing the source material and seeing the trailer it has me pretty hyped. I'm excited to see what they do with Wakanda and Man-Ape and Killmonger looked pretty awesome in the trailer.

I watched Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2 back to back on Netflix last night. Not his best work but enjoyable just the same.

[The Dunster]

I watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit this week on Netflix. Hard to believe it was released in 1988 given that it still looks up to date.
Last night I watched The Incredibles which for some reason I never saw when it came out in 2004. Loved it. Great story / characters and very funny. Incredibles 2 is scheduled for 2018 [ as is Toy Story 4] so looking forward to that.

I've watched it a few weeks ago and was greatly surprised about it's year of release!
It's awesome!

I watched Sharknado last night on Netflix. One of the greatest movies ever made for sure - the sharks were so life like - it was hard to believe it was only a movie. And anyone thinking the Academy Awards are legit please explain to me why neither Tara Reid or Ian Ziering were nominated for their brilliant performances. I cannot think of a better performance in any other movie that involved sharks falling from the sky.

Was kind of interested until I saw the trailer where they do that thing again where he holds the [insert big object here] together using his webs to give us the dramatic flexing shot.

It's not that corny through the rest of the movie though is it?

There's no real other scene that has that kinda corniness to it

But, it's kind of a superhero movie meets a John Hughes/ferris bullers day off style movie, the teen drama elements of it really reminded me of that

[StannyCFCJET]

Amazing Spiderman 1 was very good, just better then the first and definitely better then the 3rd maguire movies, but didn't touch the 2nd for me. Tom Holland is the best spiderman of the 3 for me and i think keaton has been one of the best villains in all of them

Holy moly how many dang Spider-Man movies are there?

[plague]

Heaps of new trailers coming out of comic con.

New Thor looks kind of lame.
Justice League looks lamer.
I have no idea what Ready Player One is about.
Lego Ninjago movie is going to be funnier and more original that anything else on show.

[plague]

Been watching a few movies.

May be mildly spoilery.....

Logan: Boring. It was obvious from the start where it was going to end up and they tried to pass it off as some sort of 'final' chapter but it was nothing of the sort and opened it up to carry on with more and more sequels as long as they can get Daniel Craigs agent to rep Hugh Jackman.
I hate every X-men movie but have seen them all many times and always watch when flicking past. I guess im hoping they have fixed them from the last time i watched, but alas they are the same drivel.

Lego Batman Movie: tried way too hard. Batman was great in the Lego movie but it dragged on way too much where he was the focus. The Lego movie was outstanding and very sharp. I was disappointed with Batmans spin off. Big hopes on the Ninjago movie out later this year.

Fate of the Furious: *disclaimer*, for some reason i find these movies very entertaining, and completely dumb. But we are now at the stage where someone needs to take the 'literal' keys off Vin Diesel and let someone else have the cool lines and big moments. yes he owns the franchise so it will never happen but The Rock and now Jason Statham were fun in this one, but every time things got going we'd cut to old Vin doing some dumb shit to make sure we knew he was the real movie star around here.

Kong Skull Island: Surprisingly good. How many times you can tell the "big monkey' story in a new way is obviously limited. But they just got straight into the action, showed you the monkey and ramped it up from there. Yes its mindless popcorn stuff but its shot really well and had some cool twists. (slight spoiler ahead) Shae Wigham's death scene legit made me laugh as it was totally unexpected. if you dont take life too seriously give it a go.

[pv4]

Agreed Plaguesey.. just watched Kong Skull Island and loved it. I nearly cried when Samuel L said hold onto your butts. Having John C Reilly play that role was i thought pointless and overkill. Agreed re Shae's death, was fantastically outrageous. Loved the twist in the usual story (it reminded me of the recent Godzilla movie where we supported Kong for being our defender, and I rated that. And unlike the recent Godzilla, they actually.showed the monsters and the fighting ffs), loved the array of giant beasts, loved that they didn't force the lady love story too much. Hiddleston's ninja scene in the graveyard was absurd. And yep, how great was how they just got into action. Just enough buildup to warrant it. That was a great watch.

Saw it last night, really really like it. (although watching it in german was strange, stupid swiss cinemas) I found it told a really good story and interesting way it done it.


I saw it yesterday and I reckon it's gonna be a very overrated movie, don't see the appeal in it at all

I can sort of see where your coming from. The rest of the group i went and watched it where a little under awed as they thought it would be a straight out war movie shooting etc etc, with the little dialoge it makes the viewer to intrepret and understand situations.

The score I thought was brilliant.

Historically it will go down as a great movie, one of a kind.

[plague]

i found out at my great great grand pappys funeral he was a Dunkirk veteran (the union jack on his casket at the Cathedral piqued my interest).

the old fellas still standing at his wake gave me a good talking to about their service.

sign me up to that group that are glad to be alive now and not back then.

proper hard ****s those blokes.

[The Dunster]

I watched "Opening Night " on Netflix last night. Basically it's a Musical Rom Com - and pretty funny as well. It only goes for about 85mins so not a bad way to kill some time and have a giggle. It's a lot better than I expected.

The Dark Knight offers the least to the trilogy and thus is the worst of the three.

as it's the only one I've seen I find the exact opposite to be true

2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Bloodsport
4. Police Story

6. Mad max
7. Tombstone
8. Kill Bill

10. Point Break

Whilst I'm very very very impressed with your inclusion of Tombstone and Bloodsport, I gotta put a line through Resevoir Dogs being an action movie.

oh ill let Tombstone be an action movie no doubt.

Also, Rambo 2 and 3 are def the best Stallone offerings (no, Rocky was not an action movie). First Blood isnt an action movie, in fact Stallones best idea was to reshoot the ending (in the original Rambo commits suicide at the end of the rampage). Prob several million dollars in that decision.

[plague]

also, i know Kurt Russell has featured on a few lists, but the lack of Big Trouble in Little China is interesting.

Lego Ninjago movie is the absolute business.
Not 'quite' as good as the Lego movie but way way way better than the Batman one.

gotta say, even though i liked Lock Stock way way way more than Snatch, people REALLY cape up for that movie.

also, has every movie Guy Ritchie ever made been just that little bit worse than the last one.

the dude just seems on a trajectory no one saw coming.



and another thing, after watching Lock Stock, id love to have seen the odds on Jason Statham going on to become the biggest movie star out of the lot of them.

amazing.

I saw the original Blade Runner premiere that was enough. Don't believe all the hype about the original now - when it came out most people thought it was shit.

It wouldn't surprise me if the new one was a better film given they can tie up the loose ends and anomalies from the original.

the new one or the original?

the original seems like a movie id like but for some reason ive never seen it.

[The Dunster]

it's amazing

Did you like the original ?

And is Harrison Ford a replicant or not ? it was never clear in the first movie.

[parksey]

The new one is amazing, and yes I really like the original.

That's still not cleared up in the new one.

I watched Easy Rider on Netflix the other day. The soundtrack is brilliant but the movie itself I think is very over rated - and it certainly hasn't stood the test of time like the soundtrack has.

Justice League looks like it will be hot garbage.

I’m just hoping they show us what happened to Bruce Wayne’s parents I’ve always wondered how they died.

[furns]

Watched Thor: Ragnarok, easily the best Thor movie made.
If only for incongruous Kiwi accents in an international blockbuster release :lol:

[plague]

sorry i know im piling on a movie that no one has seen but will be terrible but this is funny.

My wife has gone through a real Bourne stage the last week, and we've re-watched the first 2 so far. She came home last night with a movie released last year called "Jason Bourne". Has anyone seen it? Thoughts?

It’s the exact same movie as all the other ones.

Terrible.
Boring.
Predictable.

If you can get past all that there’s a lovely car chase through Vegas that’s well done.

One and half stars.

you know what, i always thought i was in the minority. i thought part 3 was good. especially in the circumstance of what went before it and what they were 'supposed' to live up to. the trilogy was always one characters story, and i thought they stuck the landing.
i really like the way that dude shoots movies. and ill have the Hangover discussion with anyone when they are happy.

It's been made so many times before that another version simply cannot be justified by anyone other than an accountant / MBA type.
Fair enough if all previous versions were trash but in reality it's been done well before and I think people are just tired of seeing the same shit regurgitated rather than something new / innovative.

The 1974 cast shits on this 2017 release as well with names like:

Albert Finney
Lauren Bacall
Ingrid Bergman
Jacqueline Bisset
Sean Connery
John Gielgud
Anthony Perkins
Vanessa Redgrave
Richard Widmark
Michael York

Disney buying Fox has sent this Marvel fanboi crazy

[plague]

i just went and saw The Last Jedi.

*SPOILER FREE POST COMING UP DONT STRESS*

the first half was ok, the 2nd half was fantastic.

like, really fantastic.

will need to give it time to settle and see how rewatchable it is. i mean the first half really dragged, id love to have seen about 30 mins of the first half cut out but the time added to extend the 2nd half set pieces because once it kicked off it really kicked off.

there are some really cool twists and turns, and it sets up the 3rd movie pretty well.

you can also see why the director got given a new 3 movie deal to explore the Star Wars universe without Jedi and the force.

i got mad that there were a few 'disney' moments.
i wish they had learned more from Rouge One where not all heroes need happy endings.

anyway, as always, i remember back to the Phantom Menace and how happy i was in the cinema watching it but really it was only the 5 minutes of Darth Maul fight scenes that were any good in that movie. time will be the judge.

if you like star wars though go see it.

also, Plague Jnr (8) was fine, its plenty kid friendly.

Number 2, if not good, is a massive let down. I hear it's on Netflix now so will definitely watch and report back.

GOTG is like The Hangover.
Part one was an original take on a fairly straight forward idea. The characters were the strength and you could have a whole movie of them interacting and it would be entertaining.

Part 2 was a remake of the original except The Hangover did it on purpose.

GOTG2 seemed to lack that self awareness.

GOTG2 seemed to lack that self awareness.

Now having watched it, I have to disagree. I thought GotG2 was self-aware enough. Heaps of references, in-jokes and pisstakes about the first one in there.

It won't live in my memory like the first one did, but I thought it was fine for a watch. I feel like you're being pretty harsh on it. It's a pretty stock standard sequel imo.

[pv4]

needs his own movie.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Imv4Jcnwg

[plague]

It's a pretty stock standard sequel imo.

I guess that’s my issue. For how ‘original’ the first one was, the 2nd didn’t build on it at all.


Also: thinking more about it, the thing that turned me off the most was the over the top bellowing sarcastic laughter throughout the whole movie. I remember there being a gag about someone ‘fake laughing’ in the original but they must have tried that gag at least 10 times in the new one.

Ok I get it, they really still don’t like/trust each other until Vin Diesel gets his hands on the script to insert his banal ‘we’re family’ line that someone delivers towards the end.

Oh and Bautista can’t act and Bradley Coopers voice in no way ever made me feel like it was attached to that raccoon thing.

Wait a second, it’s been 6 minutes it time to put on a relatively obscure old song and do a montage see you soon.

[plague]

Man I’m so much more angry at this movie talking about it than when I was watching it.

Damn you pv4.

[pv4]

Don't get hooked on a feeling, pal.

Didn't build on it all? It's all it DID do imo. Like you pointed out, the first was entirely about getting that cast together and it didn't matter what happened, it was going to be great. Then they've done the stock standard sequel move of further highlighting the character traits we loved in the first movie. Arguably drowning us in it, right? But that's what we all ask for in sequels. When we don't get it, we claim it was too far away from the original.

Funny enough I was talking to a person and they told me how much of a letdown the soundtrack to GOTG2 was compared to GOTG1 and "it is obviously because there are no other good songs in the world that 1 hadn't already used" and I couldn't keep a straight face.

Elvin Bishop was on the first movie soundtrack - you can't get any better than Elvin Bishop - he's one of the best guitarists on the planet. That is why the soundtrack on GOTG2 is a let down - no Elvin Bishop.

So are you gonna post photos of you shooting him in the face or are we just meant to assume?

Also: ‘not moving the story along’ was a poor turn of phrase.

What I meant was that whatever they were doing bored me to tears and I didn’t really care about those characters.

At all.

I didn’t care about anyone’s daddy issues, or whether that rat thing got any respect, or if the blue dude got his redemption from Sly Stallone. Geez, even Dunster said the tree thing that said the same 3 words 17 times was the highlight.

It was so bad that it was good. Basically just an 80's fraternity flick (ala Revenge Of The Nerds) with zombies/brain eating alien worms... Hilariously poor special effects, even worse acting, plenty of gore and cheesy one liners..
Definitely recommend it for a laugh..

I know people that do. For me it carries even less weight than critical reviews - surely its just the equivalent of youtube or facebook comments etc.

I tend to be pretty easily pleased when it comes to movies too, so a lot of the "really good" critically acclaimed movies, while I may enjoy them, I'm just as easily entertained watching "shit" movies.
Read the title, look at the cast and maaybe the blurb. More often than not I'll watch something off a recommendation or with a friend anyway.

Not really knowing what the current outrage of the week is and not caring, I find it pretty easy to just be there for everyone's work. People do dumb shit, its what we do. I feel like the latest craze of selective outrage is due to the meeting of social media culture with celebrity culture, both of which I hate. Not to say I approve of the bad things people do, or to ignore that there are people doing bad things - I just find it pretty easy to not care. You could probably dig into the histories of people in your close family or people in your street and find some other stuff to be upset about too.

Honestly, during the whole election saga I was incredulous and laughing that it was happening. Disbelief when it did happen. And since, for the most part I haven't really cared or put any thought into it - it doesn't affect me really. I laugh at some of the quotes I hear from him still on the news or whatever but that's about it. I still don't like him and think its hilarious that he is the POTUS. But to quote a great man "I ain't spendin any more time on it".

As mention previously in the politics thread I do also find some of the stuff thrown his way by media funny and just typical double standards.

edit: Just thinking about it - I probably cared about as much or more when Abbott was PM. I think he's a massive idiot and hated most things he stood for and it affected me more.

On a somewhat related note. Just been watching House of Cards in the last few weeks, just into Season 2 and absolutely loving it.
Apparently Kevin Spacey has been embroiled in some of this Hollywood scandal drama recently and my friend told me he'll no longer be in the new seasons. Man, whoever's stepping up has some big shoes to fill cause Kev has been nailing it so far I reckon.

Will still gladly watch 92% of Kevin Spacey movies/TV guilt free.

I think the dude is a fantastic actor.

The scene in American Beauty where he gets himself a voluntary redundancy package is priceless.

First time in over 10 years I watched " Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" last night - I just love how dark and bizarre the ending is!

And Vinnie Jones being a khunt.

being up to date, they really should just have ended without a final season.

it was nearing jump the shark territory. i have no idea how they're gonna swing his off-screen departure without it being in some cheesy way.

Marvel comes out with another home run again.

If you had of said 10 years ago that Marvel Studios would make more at Box Office than Star Wars and Lucas Films people would have laughed at you. Needless to say Disney is laughing all the way to the bank, while Marvel Studios and Lucas Films show no signs of slowing down.

Did anyone else read the story the other day of Sony trying to buy the rights to Spiderman back in the late 90's and Marvel (just coming out of bankruptcy) were like, "here you can have the rights to pretty much all our characters for $25m" and Sony were all like "nah its cool no one cares about Iron Man and Thor we'll just take Spidey".

Pretty sure whoever said no to that deal no longer works at Sony.

i hear they are making an academy award for best performance in a marvel movie next year

Yeah I read about that also and considering Disney bought Marvel Studios for $4billion, $25mil with hindsight is an absolute steal.

Funniest thing I've read about all this is a few years ago Kevin Fegie (Marvel Studios CEO) pitched to Amy Pascal (Sony Pictures CEO at the time) of the possibility of Andrew Garfields Spiderman joining the MCU. Amy Pascal replied ever so politely by throwing her sandwich at him and telling him to get the fu#k out. Fast Forward a few years and one North Korean hack on Sony Entertainment later, we now have Tom Hollands Spiderman in the MCU.

Also from what I have been reading Sony Pictures is in disarray and Spiderman is the only thing making them money. Rumors have it that Sony Entertainment are doubling down on their Electronics and Play Station brands and it won't be long until the studio department Sony Pictures are sold off.

[plague]

ive been watching some movies.

Justice League: lame lame lame. Zac Snyder seems to have turned in a quite stunning opening credits scene in 'The Watchmen' into a director career that has destroyed movie after movie after movie. This guy, and Ben Afflecks voice sound affect guy, need to be sacked ASAP if any of these comic book movies ever want a chance to be good again.

Wonder Woman: lame. special effects were beyond wack. Gal Gadot is hot though. but geez. what an awful movie.

Blade Runner 2049: visually stunning, i mean its a beautiful beautiful movie. but its boring as all hell. i never watched the first one, but man is this one a tough slog. the video image/assistant for Ryan Gosling is god damned pretty though.

Kingsman 2: wowzers. i didnt mind the first one, and it was every bit the absurd nonsense that our parents grew up on with those 70's and 80's Bond movies. But this was really really entertaining. Just a fun, original (even though it was a sequel which is a feat in itself) movie that thankfully doesnt take itself too seriously. the cameo by ********not spoilering******** music legend person was great. go watch it, its stupid but good (just like your boy Plague).

Baby Driver: whoa. this movie was boring. go watch Lock Stock or Way of the Gun if you want to see it done correctly. this was a not a good movie, despite how much people wanted it to be.

i think there were others, but they were the standouts, either by their stinkyness or their greatness.

[plague]

oh, and Spiderman Homecoming is lame as all hell.
what a drab, terrible movie.

and im a massive Michael Keaton fan, he was the best person in it. but geeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzz that movie stunk.

i know im gonna be the first person to hate on Black Panther which prob means i will be leaving planet earth soon enough.

I enjoyed it.
Plague Jnr really enjoyed it.

p.s. book nerdz don't @ me with your nerd grievances I don't care.

Relax, its spoiler free.

but

Avengers: Infinity war.......is pretty epic.
as stated before, i rate about 30% of those Marvel movies, the rest are pretty boring and formulated.

but this one is amazing. we need to put a time limit on when we can talk about it, but theres nothing in the movie you can really talk about without giving it all away.


so go see it NOW if you want to see it.
Because spoilers WILL get out, and it wont be as cool to see.

believe me, the big moments are big in the greater MCU.

Seeing it again 2nite. Bloody marvellous (See what I did there ;)) movie bring on part two

[plague]

nope, nope nope.

wait up.
hold on just a minute.


****mildly spoilery but only an overall thing nothing specific*******
in my excitement i started reading into the movie and pretty much everything and everyone assures me that the major events of the first movie are going to be 'reversed' in the 2nd.

this takes away any sort of 'holy shit' type moments.

looks like this one is going on the pile of lame ass Marvel movies.

shame, they could have really done something awesome.

if this isnt the case ill apologies when Part 4 comes out.

Cant spell LAME without MARVEL.

Anyone seen Super Troopers 2 yet??
I'm not expecting anything too cerebral, just going in to it expecting it to be the base-level schlock comedy that the Broken Lizard guys have put out in the past..

Ok ok ok.

**Spoiler Alert**

It was still a holy shit he actually did it moment.
Now think about it for a second, Thanos had to sacrifice the thing he loves most to use the soul gem. So... if this is going to be reversed just think about what is going to have to be sacrificed.

New Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer dropped today and the Marvel juggernaut keeps rolling on. Disneys acquisition of Fox should be finalised in 12 months and Marvel will have the rights to most of their characters back.

With Infinity War Marvel has taken the mantle from Star Wars as the biggest movie franchise in history.

Yes, that moment was crazy, and then the end of the movie was a feeling of "wow"

I think it will be "reversed" but there will be some that won't be "reversed". Names being withheld until we get the clear to chat about it

Yeah that was my problem.
The grand sum of all these movies will prob be that only 1 or 2 high profile characters actually end up dying, and that's only because the actors are done with the contracts.

Great if you wanna see the same thing bnb over and over again for 18 movies but jesus christ it took Nolan 3 to 'kill' Batman, but instead of exploring the world beyond his death DC just reset it. Such garbage.

It's just the same formula spread out over a decade.

Trash.

Ha you're kidding right Nolans death of Batman was absolute poo. The only thing that could have made the DKR death any lamer would have been My Hero by Foo Fighters playing in the background. No onscreen death, then it took him less than 10 minutes to say nah tricked ya his not dead.


*** Spoiler alert ***

Himdal- Dead, gone not coming back.

Loki- Finally does the right thing, not to protect himself but because he is trying to protect those that he cares for. Finishing his arc of redemption from Villain to Hero, then BAM stabbed through the heart infront of his brother. Thanos "no resurrections this time". Dead gone may come back in flash backs or time travel.

Gamora- WHAT... What, what, that actually happened.
Gamora "Haha you lose Thanos you have nothing to sacrifice because you care for nothing."
Red Skull "those tears aren't for him."
Thanos "Goodbye little one."
Dead- possibly.
Coming back- possibly she may be trapped in the Soul Gem. However if she comes back it's going to have repercussions for her to come back.

Vision- **** me that was some brutal shit.
The bloke knew he had to be killed, he told the person he loves she has to do it.
Caps is all like no one is sacrificing themselves. Vision is like pfft hypocrite you done it in WW2 for the greater good.
Then Scarlett Witch is like, I don't want to do this but I'm going to kill you anyway I have to. (man i pity the next bloke she cares about this chick is a curse on those close to her)
BAM Vision dies, Scarlett Witch kills him she has to live with those demons. Everyone is like argh we got you now Thanos we're going to win. BAM... Then Thanos is like solid you guys I didn't think you had that in you but hold up one sec. Lets just rewind that traumatic shit you had to do so you can see it again but this time I'm gunna do it and I'm gunna get that Gem.
Vision- **comics spoiler** if he ain't dead and he comes back he ain't helping the good guys. Oh and if Wanda comes back from the click and she is pregnant 10 years from now shit is going down.

Finger Click death's- Yeah there coming back, but at what prices. Like I said Thanos had to sacrifice Gamora for everyone to come back someone is going to have to die (my guess Tony is going to have to kill Pepper(a pregnant Pepper) or Cap).


Was this the best movie ever? No.
Was I on the edge of my seat for the whole movie? Yes
Was it full of one liners and quips? Yes
Was it full of action? Yes
Did it lack a plot? Yes
Was it more of the same formula from Marvel? Yes
Are Marvel going to change that formula? 16 billion reasons why thats a NO.

Movies like this are a Cinematic experience, if you want to watch the next Oscar winning Movie then go watch something else with Jodie Foster in it crying about how films just aren't films anymore.

Meanwhile Disney will just keep rolling in the cash and I'll be crying in my popcorn. Be it from Spidey telling Ironman he doesn't want to die or from Spidey telling Star Lord Flash Dance isn't a great movie.

[plague]

Strap yourself in Plague this is going to be a long one.


wow, brought back memories of losing my virginity.......but that was last week, onto more recent events.

Yeah look, if the movie ended how it ended, i would have ranked it as prob my favourite Marvel movie. I really enjoyed it, and liked how Pink Thumb bad dude had his own twisted logic.
Because they took chances, and changed the game.

But.

They are all coming back except prob Loki (Stringer Bell is not a major character i aint counting his death as anything flash).
Even the Green Lady angle is apparently not set in stone as they are saying Hot Scottish Blue lady (phwoooaaarrrr) will sacrifice herself to bring sis back.
And it sounds like Metal Elon Musk will 'sacrifice' himself to kill Thumb Man in the final moment to bring it all full circle.

So there we are back to normal, with EVERYONE still alive except maybe one or 2 main characters.

Id just love to have seen some of them get permanently chopped to drive home how bad old Pink Thumb Guy was. If you want to bring back assholes like Metal Arm guy or One Trick Tree Guy or old WWE guy, then wait til the inevitable re-boot and give them some shine again (get Affleck to play the Tree that would be dope).

They have shown that whatever direction they go in, they make bank. They dont necessarily 'need' these extra dudes to still hang around to keep the franchise going.

if all those dudes stayed dead im still lining up to watch the next one in a years time.

Yeah look, as for the Batman thing, i thought the ending was at least original. Was he really dead, was he really alive with Catwoman in italy because Italy doesnt have the internet and no one would recognise them over there just chillin.
i wanted to see the next movie in that series to see how they handled the changing of the guard. Except DC just went nah lets show Bruces Parents get killed again DID YOU KNOW THEY DIED AT THE MOVIES BAH GAWD WHAT A SHOCKER!!!!

Im all for the sillyness of big budget popcorn flicks. I just dig seeing something ive never seen before.
Thought id just seen it, but alas, its all for nowt.

I can understand people enjoying the Marvel and DC movies but to call them a cinematic experience is probably reaching a little too far.
Forget about great movies and just focus on the experience of it all and I think of movies like Metropolis, King Kong, Gone With the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Psycho, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark...and so on to name a few.

Those films totally blew peoples minds not simply because they were great stories, or well acted, or contained complicated plots - but because they ventured into uncharted territory and did it in a larger than life way.

Maybe younger people think that way about Marvel / DC movies - but I can't see it myself.

yeah look its easy to think that way.
but i took Plague Jnr to the Avengers and he lost it.
same as the first time he saw The Force Awakens.


we watched Jaws recently, but he bailed thought it was wack as ****. big rubber shark aint foolin no one these days.

I don't think you realise that before Jaws the paranoia about shark attacks simply did not exist. Sure people were aware of them - but after the movie peoples awareness went to a completely new level. Nobody thought the shark looked real in 1975 either - so I think you might be missing the point.

Same applied to King Kong. No reasonable person thought a gorilla could grow big enough to swat planes like flies either. What it did though is implant the idea that an ultimately passive animal was actually a killer to be feared by everyone. That fear exists today and is pretty much attributable to the species smear campaign of that movie.

How have the Marvel franchise changed peoples perceptions of reality?

[plague]

How have the Marvel franchise changed peoples perceptions of reality?

id say the main one is that it taught society that blokes named 'Clint' can be cool.

pretty amazing when you think about it.

[Premy]

How have the Marvel franchise changed peoples perceptions of reality?
Not quite sure about changing peoples reception of reality.
But Marvel we're the first Studio to successfully bring multiple film franchise into the same cinematic universe and changed the landscape of Hollywood, which has left all the other big studios scrambling and playing catch up. The visuals of these movies are absolutely stunning and pushing the boundaries of Visual effects every new film.

Like it or not Dunstersuar the world is moving on from your nostalgia. Yes all those movies you mentioned have there place in cinematic history but I would argue non of those other then Star Wars will leave an imprint close to the MCU. The MCU is 10 years old with 19 movies and after Infinity War it will be close to $17 Billion at the box office. There is no sign of it slowing down and as I stated in another post with Disneys acquisition of Fox, Kevin Feige and the MCU directors will have a bunch of new toys for another 10+ years.

[plague]

To be fair though money isn't always a great indicator.

Avatar and Titanic are a couple of the biggest grossing movies ever and no one is rewatchingvthose with and enthusiasm.

Also, Transformers and Fast n Furious movies make mega bank and even though Vin Diesel should have at least 6 Oscar's and I'm def 1st in line for the Rock/Statham team up, Transformers stink.

and if were going down the list, I'd still argue that 19(?) Movies later the MCU hasn't made anything nearly as good as The Dark Knight.
