Big Mean Jerk posted:I’d say Strange is worth a watch (it’s currently up on Netflix US). Cumberbatch and the overall plot are fairly mediocre, but the Dormammu “fight” is great and Ejiofor and Wong do well with their unfortunately limited roles. Mads was completely wasted but “Mr Doctor” is a fantastic exchange. I really liked Ejiofor’s development in Dr Strange. I’m not at all familiar with Strange’s rogue gallery, so his turn at the end both caught me by surprise but made sense with his character. Timby posted:To be fair, that's hardly unique to Doctor Strange. Thor 2 had Christopher Eccleston then made the inexplicable decision of putting him under 20 pounds of makeup and having 99 percent of his dialogue be gibberish. Iron Man 2 almost completely wastes both Rourke and Rockwell. Lee Pace is criminally under-used in Guardians 1. Daniel Bruhl is a complete non-entity in Civil War, as is Robert Redford in Winter Soldier, and I can't remember a single thing Corey Stoll did in Ant-Man. Corey Stoll’s character is the most disappointing villain to me because you could see the pieces of his dissent into madness at wanting to be like Hank but was told so incoherently. there was nothing sensible about the way his motivations played out.

As a fan of Dr. Strange, the Mordo in the film was much better than the one in the comics. I'd re-read some of the classics before the film (unfortunately I saw it the night before the election...) and Mordo is kind of a generic Eurotrash "I pledge myself to evil because I want to win!" character. The version in the movie has, like, a motivation other than being an evil wizard. (I wonder if he'll have a connection to Wakanda.) As for the Fortune article, I'm sad that PR2 isn't getting over but boy, whatever happens it's the black folks' fault, huh.

twistedmentat posted:I love all the MCU movies, some I prefer over others, but I don't find any boring or actively hate any of them. I agree with this, though I do kind of find Thor 2... maybe not boring, but unremarkable? The movie is fine, but nothing I go out of my way to watch. My personal rankings from best to worst: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Guardians of the Galaxy Captain America: The Winter Soldier Thor: Ragnarok Captain America: Civil War Black Panther Iron Man Captain America: The First Avenger Ant-Man Iron Man 3 Avengers Doctor Strange Thor Avengers: Age of Ultron Incredible Hulk Iron Man 2 Spider-Man: Homecoming Thor: The Dark World

Ugly In The Morning posted:I mean, I’m gonna go see it on Friday but I don’t have high hopes, which sucks since Pacific Rim is one of my favorite big dumb movies. I love Boyega and I’ll take any excuse to watch big dumb robots fight big dumb monsters, but none of the trailers have done anything for me. A lot of the more recent trailers and spots have put an emphasis on the teenage cadet pilot academy stuff and it just doesn’t interest me at all. If someone had told me 5 years ago that I’d be this lukewarm about a PR sequel, I’d have assumed they were insane.

I saw Thor Ragnarok recently and while I liked it a lot and thought it was an incredibly exciting movie it also made me realize I just don't find Asgard or the Asgardians as a society very interesting or compelling. I don't remember many specifics about Thor 2 but I suspect that's a big part of why I didn't like it. It's kind of a shame because I think if they would've leaned on the mythological style harder it could've worked better for me. I think the scene with Hella and the Valkyries is an example at how to do it right because it looks like something off a tapestry or mural (or metal album cover) come to life when normally the style of the Asgard stuff wouldn't feel out of place in a Lord of the Rings movie.

I've read that PR2 will be doing well if it makes $25m in its first weekend and I'm sure there must be a reasonable chance that BP could still beat it. I suppose Infinity War will probably do better than BP as far as money is concerned, but it's probably the only movie out this year that could. It could conceivably end up that Infinity War makes more overall worldwide but makes less than BP has in America, couldn't it? Wheat Loaf fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Mar 21, 2018 |

I want to know who Peter Dinklage is going to be in IW. My friend has speculated Pip the troll but I feel like the Dink wouldn't want to play a character who was cursed to be small

This possibility came up a while ago and I doubt it's gonna happen because I don't see how he'd fit into the movie at this point but Dinklage would make a great JJJ

So I'm thinking Ebony Maw or Black Dwarf (who I think they're calling Cull Obsidian for the movie).

I think Dinklage would be a pretty good Corvus Glaive. I mean, at least as written by Hickman in Infinity and New Avengers.

Went to see Black Panther for a Third time and brought my Mom and 85 year old grandma. My Grandma absolutely loved it, and that's saying a lot, because she's never sat through a comic book movie in her life. Gavok posted:You still do, but you used to too. Darn it, I can't stay mad at you! Even if you are totally wrong about Homecoming....
