Shageletic posted:Um...have you been to India my man? Something something marvel. Domino looks great and I can see why test audiences were probably clamoring for more of her. Gonna enjoy the spin-off in a year or two. Wonder if they cut the action sequence that killed her stunt double. Rest of the trailer looks solid. Cable is sufficiently...Cable. Interesting that they went with full on Liefield 90's, obnoxious helmet/codpiece/pauldrons Shatterstar despite his recent toned down costume but it makes sense. Only thing that looks dubious is Ryan Reynold's schtick wearing thin but if this one is as tightly paced as the first then it should still be an entertaining flick. Edit: That's Will Smith flying the helicopter at the start of the trailer, right? It sounds JUST like him. Mat Cauthon fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Apr 21, 2018 |

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Hello this movie is actually going to be good I want this movie to be good and do well but this trailer is bad. The most interesting bit is the Lovecraftian fish monster chase/fight whatever and the big undersea battle. Black Manta and his crew chasing Aquaman and Mera through the street looks like an upgraded cut scene from Prince of Persia. I get that they need to ground the story and get the origin out of the way but why frontload a 5 minute trailer with it? Very frugal of DC to re-use Daenarys' wig for Nicole Kidman's character. Jason Momoa and Mera don't have very good chemistry, but he looks like he's having fun at least.

GlassEye-Boy posted:Is it just me or is it kinda weird that The Rock is playing a black folk story hero. It's weird. The Rock has very deliberately kept his Black heritage at arms length in favor of embracing a racially ambiguous, all-American, straight talking leading man persona. He almost never talks about his father beyond platitudes, doesn't identify as Black iirc, and up until this year had never had a leading female costar/love interest who was Black. It's definitely something that gets the side eye in the community. Same for Vin Diesel. So people have been discussing it for that reason and also for the fact that there are plenty of dark skinned actors who could do the role justice (more of a colorism discussion but I digress), but obviously don't have the star power of the Rock. Honestly the John Henry story is hosed up and a bold choice for any kind of folktale adaptation, even if they will likely soften the edges since this is for kids/families.

caligulamprey posted:Was the only reason they rebooted Hellboy instead of letting Del Toro do #3 was that the studio was all WE WANT HELLBOY IN 2.35 and Del Toro was all I WILL DIE BEFORE I SHOOT SCOPE, because it's literally the only reason I can imagine this existing. Mike Mignola apparently can't stand GDT and really dislikes his take on the material. That, combined with the middling financial returns on the first two, pretty much sank the potential of a third, despite GDT and Perlman both pushing for it pretty hard. The trailer for the new movie is bad. Hellboy mixing up with some Olde English magic poo poo is pretty on point as far as the flavor goes, but Harbour sounds terrible, the makeup looks like they got it second hand from that late 80's Beauty and the Beast, and the tone for that trailer was absolutely garbage.

Slutitution posted:Do you know how many spiderman movies have been made in the last 20 years? Why are people still cumming in their pants for this poo poo? Spider-man is up there with Superman and Batman as iconic superheroes. He's definitely among the more relateable. Spider-man stories don't have to have some epic scale, it's just a guy in over his head most of the time trying to figure out how to make things right as best he can, hopefully without loving up his own life too bad, oh and he can stick to walls and stuff. And the moral of the story in most Spider-man stuff is that you don't need special powers to make a difference, you just have to be willing to keep trying. What's not to like? I have fond memories of the Raimi movies as a kid but I don't know how well they hold up except for 2 and have no real desire to revisit them. The Andrew Garfield Spider-movies had potential, but are painfully mediocre and a waste of otherwise fine casts. Homecoming was great. Spider-verse is a top 3 superhero movie of all time. If Sony can keep from meddling too much, these movies are a licence to print money, so you might as well get used to getting a new one every other year. Far from Home looks interesting - the elemental creatures have an Harryhausen vibe to me, with much better effects obviously. Mysterio looks cool, although his smoky entrance thing reminds me of the Auror effects from Harry Potter. I'm pretty sure they're going to pull some bait and switch with Fury in the movie (probably Mysterio faking out Peter in order to coerce him into something, but maybe we'll get an LMD finally), but it looks entertaining enough overall.

feedmyleg posted:Well, the new Hellboy trailer dropped. Still doesn't feel like Hellboy. Still doesn't seem like a horror take on the material. Still looks pretty dreadful. Am I crazy or is Harbour's dialogue barely comprehensible unless he's yelling? Maybe it's just the music or background noise in the trailer but I could hardly make out most of what he said, to the point where I had to rewind the trailer a couple times. I agree that the olde English macabre/eldritch monster design looks cool but other than that, meh. I'm sure Ian McShane appreciates the check. Caeks posted:Jesus Christ - Did the Phoenix director really come out and say "We spoiled the death of a major character in the trailer because we wanted show this is a different movie than the other X-Men films". Well he couldn't very well say "Jennifer Lawrence is too big of a star for us to force to put in a make-up chair 8 hours a day, so this was the compromise".

This looks great but I especially like how they're really pulling in international martial art influences. Redoing the motorcycle fight from the Villainess but on a larger scale, getting two of the most badass fighters from the Raid movies, and Tiger Chen is supposed to be in there too. The rare trilogy closer that looks like it'll live up to the hype.

It has Beyonce in it, singing at least one brand new song and covering one of the more popular songs from the original, in addition to a bunch of other very popular cross genre entertainers in the cast. It's going to make a billion dollars, weird photorealism be damned.

James Marsden has had a weird career, man. Looks decent. The new design is so much better looking and in line with the aesthetic of the series. https://twitter.com/TAHK0/status/1194227675734298626?s=19 I'm almost inclined to believe the conspiracy theory that they released the bad design first just to drum up publicity for the movie. Either way, I hope all the animators got compensated decently for the work it took to overhaul that. Mat Cauthon fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Nov 12, 2019 |

I hope other people care, because I'm not sure how many hits this man's career can take. My sentiments exactly. I'm not even sure the game fans tuning in will meet Netflix's expectations for series these days. Cavill seems like a very talented, if not too smart, guy, it's really baffling that his career hasn't taken off. Edit: Isn't he British? Why is he doing his American accent in that reading video?

How is expressing an opinion pretentious? I didn't say that my view was explicitly more correct than anyone else's nor did I put down anyone else's enjoyment of his non-comedy stuff. I just said that his continuing status as high level tastemaker guy was baffling to me as someone who doesn't really enjoy his work. Different strokes for different folks and all that. In any case yes I do understand how numbers work so as long as his movies keep making money yes he will continue to be a thing despite his output being uneven at best or mediocre and derivative at worst, depending on where you're standing.

man nurse posted:Yeah, I thought this, too. Keanu's Ted doesn't seem to have the goofy and happy-go-lucky element, and he looks uncomfortable to be there in most of the scenes in the trailer. Alex is still bang on. I think it's that, plus the effect of being able to see Keanu age over the years whereas no one has given Alex Winter a thought outside of "hey i hear they're making another Bill & Ted movie". Going back and watching the trailer Keanu hits the mark of classic Ted in that scene where they talk to their evil prison selves, but he still just sounds old. I do wonder genuinely how this movie is going to do. Bill & Ted doesn't seem too high on the nostalgia/retro culture meter for Gen Z (or even Millenials) and I have no idea how much Gen X or older people still care about this.

The first Kingsman movie was a fun little thing that came out of nowhere and did well and you're happy to catch parts of it on cable randomly. The second one was a fairly sloppy misfire that relied too much on weird character tics, needless twists, and overwrought action senquences because they learned the wrong lessons from the success of the first. Also it had some stuff in there that was just grossly misogynistic and mean to women - I can't remember the last time I cringed so hard in a movie as the condom tracking device implementation scene. Edgerton was smart to move away from these flicks because they don't really have much to offer and the foundation/politics of the story makes for some immensely wobbly pins to establish an entire franchise upon. Always nice to see Hounsou get a check though. The Foundation series looks interesting and well made, assuming that they discarded the terrible filler novels beyond the initial trilogy. Biggest problem there is that I don't know a single person who has Apple TV and Foundation doesn't seem to be the sort of thing people will sign up for all by itself.

I did an entire class on Hamilton (not because I liked it but rather to illustrate how weird Americans are about elevating historical figures and how that overlaps with pop culture) when I was teaching university in Brazil and the students responded positively to Satisfied way more than any of the other songs by a large margin. If you remove the specific references it could be a generic, if very well produced and performed, pop r&b track of the sort that we really don't get anymore.

Shame that he got saddled with pretty subpar outings in the cowl, I always thought Affleck was a pretty solid pick for grizzled older Batman. Between that and whatever personal stuff he's dealing with I can't blame him for bailing. The real loss is no more Jeremy Irons as Alfred though. Edit: I thought Affleck wore lifts to match up with Cavill, but apparently Affleck is the taller of the two by a fair margin (6'4 to 6'1).
