I liked Deadpool 2 a lot, but to be honest it felt almost more stuffed than Infinity War, at least in terms of poo poo that I wanted more of and didn't get

T'Challa vs M'Baku is a pretty good fight scene because the choreography is good but it also gets over both characters. That's the important thing. Like the elevator scene works for me additionally because Cap asks if some guys wanna back out and he's fighting some pretty impossible odds, but he perseveres. I don't find Tony Stank funny at all. I felt weird in the theater. Rhodey getting Bruce to bow to T'Challa and then immediately dunking on him for it was pretty great though. IW did a lot to get me back on War Machine's side. Cause I kinda hated him at the end of Civil War.

The Wakanda fight in Infinity War stands out because every other fight in the movie is great.

Deadpool 2 was pretty good. I enjoyed large parts of it more than the first but the ending, more specifically the post credits scene, really kinda shits on the movie for me. I mean I guess I'm glad Vanessa is back and all because I like the character, but way to loving undercut the entire emotional journey of the film and pretty much immediately ruin a hell of a great moment with them at the end. Could you not at least have waited for the next movie?

I watched a video criticising the fights in GotG and I guess most of them were pretty forgettable so I guess it probably makes sense for them to be bad.

DP2 was way better than I was expecting. I'm still not into the character when he approaches a Jim Carrey Mask kinda level, but there was a pile of ridiculous fun in there. The X-Force stuff was great. For the emotional quotient, I was hoping that the movie would start undercutting it right from that James Bond title sequence, making fun of it's own maudlin, conventional plot point, so I'm happy the ending at least unfridged so flippantly.

So one cool thing about Deadpool 2 my wife spotted, which I confirmed online today. When X-Force die their horrible, horrible deaths, Vanish hits into a power line. As he's being shocked to death, he turns visible and you can see his fact for like half a second. It's Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt is the Vanisher. I also loved the Gregorian chanting for when the Juggernaut shows up. "Holy loving poo poo balls! It's the Juggernaut! Holy loving poo poo balls!

I haven't seen Creed but aren't the boxing scenes universally praised? I wonder if the big CGI battles are just outside of Coogler's wheelhouse or what, but in BP2 they definitely need to step up the quality of the action scenes.

Creed has a one-shot boxing scene that’s incredibly well done, but I can see how directing amazing boxing wouldn’t carry over 100 percent to a superhero movie.

Even in the comic books themselves where the creators can make anything happen and superhero comics are literally founded on providing action an actual great action scene is hard to come by.

For sure, so maybe it would better serve the movie to have more, uh, intimate fight scenes rather than mandated 3rd act CGI clusterfucks but you takes the bad with the good I guess. I mean, before Thor showed up, the Wakanda battle was kind of lovely (though it had some standout moments) especially compared to the battle on Titan, which was much smaller in scale. I would say the Wakanda battle is probably the best of the massive CGI spectacle battles but it's still pretty boring when it's just cutting between shots of individual heroes fighting a bunch of CGI monsters. zoux fucked around with this message at 15:36 on May 18, 2018 |

I do feel bad for the kids who watched Spider-Man loving die and were left with no assurance other than their corny rear end parents saying "I'm sure it will be fine"

Where's SOUNDER? HE DIDN'T MAKE IT?" just bawling screaming his eyes out, and literally second the door shut from him being dragged away, Sounder limps over the horizon. My mom was really mad at me for laughing.

Kids getting to see favorite characters get killed is good. Like the entire generation traumatized by Optimus dying is now traumatizing the next by killing Spider-Man.

You never met someone who hates sad movies or down endings because they don’t go to the movies to feel bad? It’s easy to look down on an attitude like that, but I really don’t have a problem with someone saying real life sucks enough, I don’t need to pay $15 for a movie to remind me about it.

I mean, that's basically why people hated most of the DC movies, or the Hydra-Cap run on Captain America.

I had to watch Artax loving slowly drown in a swamp with Atreyu sobbing and screaming for a full 45 minutes, I think kids will be able to handle it.

I was kind of worried that watching a sobbing Spider-Man die would gently caress up my 5 year old, but I had a talk with him after and he was unaffected, which is a little troubling on its own but I mainly just explained that it would be fine. It helped that they faded away instead of just dropping dead, as is it looked like teleportation or something anyways

But I thought it was more amazing Marvel have set up a series of movies that really made this woman care about the characters to the point she's pissed off at Infinity War. Rather than, as has been said, DC that has made people pissed off at their sad films for different reasons.

All children's movies must have the protagonist die and lose at the end to teach them that the world is a hellscape and everything you will do in life is in the end meaningless

 at adults who can't process that movies can be sad and can't parent their children for their tears over dead fake people in spandexe: the only movie i've ever cried at was the green mile when they killed john coffey, but i do have friends who loving cry at commercials, so i get it, i guess, but still, it's a comic book movie, c'mon

As a wise non-kid haver, I don't know how the MCU plays with the young set. Are most kids bonkers for Marvel superheroes like we were for [era appropriate kid thing]?

I let out an audible 'oh no" when peter starting disintegrating and I'm a 30 year old man. I can see why some kids would get upset. Although rewriting an action movie's script to be different because kids might get upset is really dumb.
