X-O posted:Controversial opinion alert! I think Zemo is my favorite MCU film villain. The part isn't large, there's not much screen time, and he's very much not the traditional villain. Nor does he have much in common with the comic version, but I loved the way he was used and Daniel Bruhl's performance was excellent.  It was a really good subversion of a villain's grand plans, albeit undertold. I was left wanting more because what we got was really good, as opposed to, say, Ant-Man, where the underpinnings of a good villain were there in Cross but told disjointedly.

Being gay was still Not Okay for much of the country and making the mutant=gay metaphor was a valuable one to tell a mass audience.

Apocalypse felt like 4 movies at once and none of them were good. Did anyone else get a message before the movie from the actress who played Storm talking about how so many people worked really hard on it? Or have a text message at the end again talking about all the jobs the movie created?

The best costuming is when Apocalypse gives three horsemen nearly full body armor but only gives Psylocke a leotard.

Also he wasn't raped, he said his parents kept him from certain parties so he wouldn't be raped. Unless he saw something, any claim of his would probably be hearsay.

howe_sam posted:I don't mean this as a slight because I generally enjoy his work, but how the hell does Bradley Cooper have four Oscar nominations? It's kind of deceptive in that only 3 are for acting but he was also a producer for American Sniper so the Best Picture nomination for that movie is included.

I have a soft spot for the "I'm always angry" scene in the first Avengers. I love that insight into Banner's struggle and then his destruction of the space worm with a single punch is just... wonderful.

the worst part about ASM was the the construction crew inspired by the sight of the giant american flag to turn all the conveniently placed cranes in the same direction for Spider-Man to start web slinging. It's like they wanted to go for a similar scene as in the original Spider-Man but missed that the wave of patriotism post-9/11 has died down considerably.

Man, Spider-Man was so good. I really liked the way they put you in Pete's mindset at the start by recapping his adventure in Civil War only to just dump him back in his normal life and have no contact with him. He so badly wants to be return to the grand adventure but is stuck in the monotony of being a kid and that informs everything he does.I was also pleasantly surprised at how little Iron Man there wound up being. I feel like it was talked about being a team-up movie but it really wasn't anything of the sort. Just a really enjoyable film overall. And definitely stay for the stinger. That cannot be stressed enough.

You could not escape it at all. looking back, the looney tunes promo that airs on the batman 89 VHS is hilariously odd but makes sense given the time. https://youtu.be/8JJz-yLaArs

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.

Karloff posted:So, I wouldn't be too hard on Cameron, his arguments are misguided but he's just lashing out a system that has somewhat left him behind, audiences want something else now. And in another thirty years what they want will be unrecognizable to us now. And so it goes on. Cameron’s made 2 movies in the last 20 years so don’t think it’s the system that left him behind.

huh... i was looking up whether that dumb THANOS theory was fulfilled and it turns out there as a massive plot leak on 4chan back in November that was probably 85% accurate. Not in a speculative way either - all the major plot points were there, just minor details probably indicative of an earlier draft.
