I liked PThortal 2. It, along with Ant-Man, Ghost Rider 2 and Man of Steel, has the only good fight scene in superhero movies.

Seriously, most Marvel movies are just variations on punch and punch harder and shoot a lot and sometimes scream or quip. A few have good choreography, but even then almost they never do anything creative with their powers, so the few exceptions stand out.

Comics books are amazing and super hero comics have a sad tendency to be very repetitive and samey, despite the occasional really original one. Doesn't make them bad or anything.

Yeah Sad Scene #451 was my favorite part of the movie too. When I go to the Superman movie what I want is to be alternatively depressed, bored and disturbed. My only quibble was that visionary director Zach Snyder didn't include his signature epic slow mo rape scene

People have laughed at this post already, but I just really really want to underline the basic fact that what you want out of a movie doesn't matter. Sad movies are sad, happy movies are happy, and you can watch whatever one you prefer, but YOU CANT SAY A SAD MOVIE IS BAD BECAUSE IT ISN'T HAPPY! That's just stupidity on the level of hating a dog for not being a cat!

Also MoS isn't even that sad or depressing, jesus. I'm not a fan of the movie, but I can recognize and respect what is is, even if it's not what I want it to be.

Avengers 2 isn't as bad as some people say on this forums (it's the internet message board effect, where everything is THE BEST or THE WORST ever), but the all CGI fight choreography, like Hulk vs Hulk Buster or Tony vs Ultron or Vision vs Ultron, is so much better than the live action choreography. The live actors are all directed in really weird ways. It is especially noticeable because of how good the choreography is in Ant-Man and Winter Solider. Or even just the CGI scene 20 minutes earlier in Ultron.

Ant-Man has some really cool, really creative fight scenes where they use their powers against each other in fun ways. I love it. Like, the fight between Ant-Man and the Falcon is so loving boss.

It also ends with a divorced family treated as a normal thing, which is super rare in Hollywood movies. I liked that.

I was so disappointed with super hero movies last year (especially after how awesome 2014 was) that I skipped Ant-Man. I will have to watch it before Civil War, it is good to hear stuff like this!

It's far from perfect, but it's good parts are worth it and they also happen to be things other super hero movies usually get wrong, so it's a nice change of pace. I also skipped Ant-Man at first and only watched it when it came on Netflix.

Really hope the solo Wonder Woman film will be good. :ohdear:

Oh man, that's a Tirailleur Sénégalais and a Zouave (and maybe a native american?), this is going to be loving great.

Speaking of WWI comic book movies, anyone like Luc Besson's Adèle Blanc-Sec movie? I had some troubles with it, because he took a pretty dark comic series (it includes WWI at some point, in all it's butchery), and turned it a funny adventure (sort-of trying for a French Indiana Jones, I guess). And that's a legitimate idea and not necessarily a bad movie, but the disconnect was pretty strong throughout for me.

And now Luc Besson next's project is another adaptation of a comic series I love, Valérian Space-TIme Agent, and I'm both pretty hype (it is closer in style to the Fifthe Element, so it might be great) but a bit worried a the same time.

I loved the Adèle Blanc-Sec film, she's pretty much a female early 20th century Indiana Jones mixed with the sense of humour from the Tintin comics. They're apparently planning two other films.

Yeah, but like I said the comic is... very much not that.



It's by french artist Jacques Tardi, who is... well, cynical is a way of describing him. He did a lot of stuff on WWI, especially focuse don the stupid butchery and the terribleness of the leadership and the pointlessness of the war.

Let's hope the movie keeps up the tradition of Valerian the time-cop from the future being kind of a dope and Laureline the medieval peasant girl being the smarter one who gets things done.

Edit: Also if the Shingouz aren't in there I will scream.

You know, I really want a Doom Patrol movie. The Brotherhood of Dada deserves to be on the big screen.

Although thinking about it modern special effects might be too good for the Doom Patrol. It needs to have those weird camera tricks and puppets of 80s mid-budget horror movies to really work.

My father's a huge cinephile so I grew up on cool old french movies, like Les Disparus de St-Agil (The Vanished of St-Agil, a story about teenagers investigating a mystery at a pre-war boardig school) or L'Assassinat du Père Noël (The Assasination of Santa Claus, in an isolated french mountain village, someone has killed Santa Claus).

One of m favorite was a cartoon movie called Le Roi et l'Oiseau (The King and the Mockingbird), which I must have seen at least 50 times.

This might out me as a tool, but Linkin Park's fourth album is actually real good. It's simultaneously a really obvious album about how terrible nuclear war is and a touching one about about suicidal depression. And they're way different from Hybrid Theory, a lot less rap-rock-y than they used to be. I don't give a poo poo about anything they did after that, they made the one thing they were meant to make and now they're back to making Dumb Bullshit.

edit: Also you're allowed to like Hybrid Theory when you're 13, because it's exactly the emotional level of a 13-year-old.

Yeah, I don't really care about the rest of their work, I loving love A Thousand Suns and I ain't ashamed to say it.
