Gatts posted:Sucks for Momoa but I'm kind of cool with Bautista. I haven't seen Man with the Iron Fists but a big green Thanos killing machine...I hope he can bring some physical charisma. It'd be cool to have him train with something like a mime or whatever and bring something to the character at least physically unique since I doubt there's going to be much to Drax beyond the straightforward. I wonder if he's going to jack himself up for it. He was one of the more charismatic characters in Iron Fists.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:It has the mandated mixture of humor and action requisite to these films but what I'm saying is that the way it's shot doesn't put me to sleep. Yeah I agree. It's kinetic and fun and the tiny dude shots are well done and I like the part where he punches the dude.

I'd like to see Wonder Woman wear less clothes, because I like to look at women naked, or in a state close to naked. Also, I would like to see Wonder Woman brutally take down a room full of dudes, because she is a badass. Are these two opinions reconcilable? I feel that strength and nudity combined reveal the art of the human form.

The best Marvel movies are the two Hulk movies, by the way.jivjov posted:Fair enough. Its not just this community, I'm just tired of hearing the same complaints over and over again, and I never seem to see the justifications behind it. I don't like to read criticism of comic book movies because it's usually just angry nerds, but Iron Man 2 is a pretty confusing movie with a lot of dangling threads and hanging chads, if you catch my drift (my drift is that the plot is bad.) Can you explain to me in one sentence the plot of the movie? I'll allow you two commas. scary ghost dog fucked around with this message at 07:57 on May 16, 2013 |

Yeah, he said nobody was voicing legitimate criticisms of Iron Man 2 so I voiced mine and let him prove my point for me. How many of you remember Sam Rockwell is in that movie, or what War Machine does up until the very end?

Rhyno posted:You know, when I said that the blue thing in Loki's scepter was probably the mind gem the bulk of people here said I was probably wrong. Nice to know that theory is gaining some ground. I dunno if I like or don't like this theory. On the one hand, I hate the idea of a movie making more sense only after seeing a sequel, but on the other hand, the movie will make a lot more sense.

TheJoker138 posted:It makes perfect sense without it, but when you go back and watch it again there will be another layer. Nothing wrong with that. Well, no, I think Loki having a magic staff that mind controls people in a way that perfectly befits the plot given to him by aliens with no backstory or identity or anything is a little convenient. That staff embodying the mind gem is the only justification for its existence I've heard so far. Plus, there's that scene where Banner picks it up unconsciously, which was previously just a weird moment. Now it's subtle foreshadowing!

Timby posted:I've said this before, but The Last Stand kind of works because Brett Ratner is aping the work of Singer and Newton Thomas Sigel so hard that it hurts. Because that's what Ratner does: He imitates someone else's style. The Family Man is him totally trying (and failing) to be Capra. Red Dragon is totally ripping off how Jonathan Demme shot The Silence of the Lambs. Tower Heist is him trying to do a Steven Soderbergh Ocean's Whatever heist film. So on and so forth. Are you saying that The Last Stand works, generally speaking, because Brett Ratner is a hack?

Skwirl posted:Yeah, no. Unless they're planning to kill Rocket Raccoon off in the movie, they'll likely want someone they can sign on for multiple movies cheap. Maybe Johnny Depp, but that's just because of how badly Lone Ranger did. Unless they're planning on the movie being a huge hit, in which case a big name will multiply earnings and a big contract will pay for itself.

Say what you will, but as critically dubious as DC's output is, their movies are a thousand times more watchable than the vanilla crap Marvel photocopies every year.

Grendels Dad posted:Honestly, I don't. The Batman movies aren't "critically dubious" as he put it, so poo poo like Green Lantern is the only stuff I can think of. Please feel free to name other movies, and maybe point out how them sucking was indirectly Marvel's fault too. Mostly I'm talking about how Man Of Steel was more engaging than The Avengers despite lacking punchy dialogue. Going down the line, though, you can put any Marvel movie bar Spider-Mans up next to any DC movie and I'll probably prefer the DC movies. Marvel's output lately has just been bland and inoffensive, taking no risks. I'm really looking forward to Guardians of the Galaxy, though.

mind the walrus posted:You do know that literally everything you said is in "that's just like, your opinion man" territory right? I found Man of Steel interminable and boring in many parts and I've got a Superman tattoo on my back--I was looking for reasons to forgive--while the Avengers kept me thrilled based on novelty alone (yet still held up on a rewatch). That's just, like, your opinion, man. As far as I'm concerned the worst film that's interesting to watch for myriad reasons (The Last Airbender) is better than an aesthetically fine, well written slab of concrete (The Avengers.)

DFu4ever posted:I still have no idea what people who believe that are thinking. It definitely wasn't shot in the same, obviously budget restricted fashion as his TV shows. I thought it looked like a TV show because all of the scenes that didn't take place on obvious and cramped sets took place on sequestered city blocks, exactly like a TV show. It also had flat lighting and perfect white balance, which lead to a really boring color palette, like most TV shows. The only thing that wasn't super TV about it was the CGI.

DFu4ever posted:Obvious and cramped sets? First...the 'obvious' point of your argument is ridiculous, since half of the sets are for places that simply don't exist in reality. The SHIELD command center/meeting area was a huge set. The shuttlecraft was a cramped set, but it made sense to be cramped since it was a relatively small vehicle. The Helicarrier lab was not actually that small, it just featured in a scene with a lot of people in it and they seemingly only used half of it for shooting. The hangar looked like a hangar. The gym at the beginning was large and decent looking. The sets looked like they belonged in the superhero movie that was being made. This movie wasn't trying to be There Will Be Blood. Here's my problem with this defense. Why does The Avengers look like this:        And not like this:        It's because they did not bother making it look like that. They never did anything interesting with color, with depth of field, with framing, with blocking. They never did any cool or abstract set design. Everything is solid and utilitarian, distilled essence of plain. They settled with sterile and generic, which is criminal when this is your source material:

mind the walrus posted:I think a lot of people are just mad that they can be so invested in and knowledgeable of cinematography, only for a movie to dare to be mediocre and prove immensely popular anyway. It's similar but slightly different to the Michael Bay "ugh I can't believe those dumb movies about explosions are making so much money" principle. Number 2: Michael Bay may not be the smartest filmmaker around but he is a billion times better at making movies than Joss Whedon.     Michael Bay is pretty fuckin good at utilizing the camera and color. Joss Whedon is pretty good at utilizing actors and dialogue. Here's my proposal: Joss Whedon writes Avengers 2, Michael Bay directs. scary ghost dog fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Sep 21, 2013 |

teagone posted:Michael Bay movies kind of look like Zack Snyder movies, and vice versa, in the visual sense. I wonder if that's the result of them possibly being friends back in college since they were classmates. I love Zack Snyder. Now there's a dude who knows how to make a comic book movie. I don't care what critics say or what popular opinion is, Watchmen is still the best comic book movie every made. Too bad David Goyer ended up being his writer on Man of Steel, that could have been amazing. WickedHate posted:Not every movie needs to be a visual feast of colors and camera work to be good. You're right about the color, but do you really think the best color palette for The Avengers was grey and brown with everything else muted? Also, good camerawork is absolutely among the most important things in making a movie and The Avengers don't got it. There are zero (ZERO) great movies with terrible camerawork. scary ghost dog fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Sep 21, 2013 |
