I think that footage was for the MTV Awards right? I'd be shocked if it wasn't clipped together for time. Even for a Marvel movie that editing is janky.

Guy A. Person posted:Bleh there are some really odd shot choices and editing in that first part. Like you have Cap falling out of a jet and smashing a dude into a car but they choose a really odd angle looking through the car at the dude's back(?). Then the idea of him beaning the guy and catching the shield through another car window is cool but it's done in a really undynamic way. The guys just arent good action directors. What you get is the occasional nice action beat - Steve kicking the truck so hard that it sends the guy flying is very District 9 - that cuts away too fast and is mixed in with a flurry of stuff that aint so great. Kicking the truck is how you punctuate or end a scene, not how you start it. Everything has the same amount of emphasis. There's no rise and fall in the action. It's also very unclear where Falcon is when he zooms around and does his spin-kick thing on the roof. It's that Avengers issue where the putties just randomly appear in shots in order to serve as fodder for poses. Wouldn't the guys on the roof and in the building notice the gunfire only a few metres away? When Falco clotheslines that guy, the body disappears in the next shot. The people on the roof also disappear. SuperMechagodzilla fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Apr 11, 2016 |

Basebf555 posted:Can I blame IMAX in any way for the various aspect ratios Nolan used for Interstellar? I find that to be jarring when I watch it on Blu ray. Blame the fimmmakers for this obnoxious choice of inconsistent IMAX use. I think BvS and MI: Ghost Protocol have had the best use of IMAX simply because they film entire sequences in IMAX and not shots. TDKR had some long sequences in IMAX but Nolan films always use it so sporadically it becomes visually annoying, especially when 35mm looks like complete rear end when blown up with the IMAX DRM technology. Civil War has a 15min IMAX sequence shot on the new Arri digital IMAX cameras so Im really looking forward to seeing that in action. And I believe the entirety of IW 1 and 2 will be IMAX, which is crazy awesome.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Apparently, this is the first minute of action from Avengers 2.5: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x43hv18_captain-america-civil-war-official-movie-clip-1-hd_shortfilms I like Cap's shield bouncing around/through the truck, and it seems to re-enter the frame at the "right" spot, but something feels weird about it like most of the action. Maybe it's because you don't see Cap start moving to the side when he throws it? Maybe it should cut to Cap's final position earlier in the bounce. The sense of the impact of all these super-powered kicks and punches is well done, though.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:The guys just arent good action directors. I disagree with you a bit. Russos are good directors of regular fisticuffs type of stuff. Cap vs. Baltrac or the elevator fight was good. The more epic they try to make it, the worse it gets IMO. Consider Civil War's big action highlight is a big group of superheroes facing off, I'm nervous. But then again the Marvel CGI team saved Joss Whedon on the Avengers so...

The only thing that looked off to me in that footage was the cut from Falcon's three point landing to him suddenly standing. I feel like no editor should ever allow a cut like that. It does feel edited down to be kind of a sizzle reel but I guess we'll find out in a month. Otherwise the action looked good and I like the practical wire stunt work. Looking for continuity errors is boring and isn't really criticism.

 These are pretty much consecutive shots. Steve vanishes for most of the sequence, then reappears in the bottom left there. Red Witch flies out of the sunrise to enter the scene, and while sun is setting in these shots above.

This is like Michael Bay levels of 'gently caress continuity'. Like, it's to the point that you have to consider the lack of continuity part of the style - like how, in the celebrated Winter Soldier knife fight, some shots are taking place on a rainy day, while others show a sunny afternoon.

MacheteZombie posted:I'm very hesitant to believe that. It's pre-release screening reactions so I don't see why it's unbelievable. Remember even BvS was supposed to be "superior to The Dark Knight" going by the pre-release screening hype. Man of Steel was "THE GREATEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE EVER MADE!!!," Age of Ultron posed serious questions about the nature of man and featured incredible action, and so on. Not saying those are the worst movies ever made or Civil War will be bad but just that unless a MC/DCU movie is a legit total historically bad in all ways Manos: The Hands of Fate caliber disaster film the pre-release word will always be super positive.

Returns has like 15 total minutes of Batman and it's mostly just the fights. Yeah it's a real classic. Like the scene where Batman pulls out a Batman MasterCard with the good through date being "forever"

These were critic screenings and not fan ones. So that comparison doesn't work. Also, it doesn't speak to a specific scene, so you're comparing apples to oranges.

How long until people start getting mad at either: 1) Thor dating a black woman or 2) Her blackness not being emphasized and is therefore whitewashing. Also, not sure if it makes it better or worse, but apparently that Civil War clip was condensed to exactly 1 minute from a 1:41 second series of scenes from the film for the MTV movie awards.

Josh Lyman posted:Pretty much everyone thought it was amazing, some LOTR-scale monumental achievement by Whedon, hence the 92% RT score. The goalposts for superhero movies are so weird and lowballed, to paraphrase SMG, I sometimes wonder if the folks who indulge in this kind of faint praise even like superhero comics. E.g. when I made some posts lightly criticizing the fight choreography in Deadpool compared to action comedy masters like Chan/Hung and Wright or low budget brutality masters like Evans/Uwais and the response centered on, "Yeah, but for a superhero movie . . ." That's a milder example because there definitely was plenty of nonstandard stuff worth calling out in Deadpool, and I was more focusing on how its weaker points lined up with what I was most interested in seeing done well. But with the original Avengers it was full bore, with all sorts of praise for fundamentally basic poo poo like "juggling an ensemble cast" and "showing up with its shoelaces tied"

Josh Lyman posted:Seriously, everyone raves about the helicarrier sequence but it just fell flat and hollow to me. The air goes out of the movie after the knife fight with Winter Soldier. You can feel the formula kick in and bodily drag the movie into mediocrity. Overall I still enjoyed it but it goes south in the third act.
