Due to family obligations and interests, I am sometimes obligated to pay for a ticket and watch he latest DC or Marvel flick!
Just sat through roughly 150 minutes of the latest Captain America movie
Way too long and too much the same with all this computer generated extravaganza shit with fast cut fight scenes.
In a few of those scenes I could not "differenciate" between the puncher and the punchee and often wished that someone would take a bullet to the noggin and end it in half the time (or less)!
No spoilers here but I think you will all enjoy the only scenes that I found to be of interest which were the scenes when Spiderman/boy showed up to save the day!
You're gonna swear that he is the son of Deadpool! .... which made that part of the movie worth watching.
Otherwise you'll be seeing the 'same-old-same-old' with a twist to make it different from the other same-old-same-old.
Don't leave before the credits roll because halfway through that 'roll' they included a scene from a future movie, but since I am no longer a Superhero fan ..... I have no idea what that was all about.
And was that an elephant shaped 'rock' I saw during the final 1 second scene of that overlong 2.5 hour same-old-same-old?
OH, I also go see these superhero movie to see what the hell Stan will be doing next.
Is there an Academy award for doing next to nothing, but doing next to nothing well?
So this afternoon, Stan and Spidey saved the day!
-
Hopefully, this fad will come to an end. I've only see 2 of the superhero movies and I have no interest in seeing any more.
I guess I could understand why some people enjoy them.
-
Right... and you are sometimes obligated to watch oiled up musclemen in thongs pose on stage over and over again... for years. Woe is you. :-*
-
The punisher is the only one I've enjoyed in recent years.
-
This movie is expected to break opening weekend records, so there's a little more gas in the tank.
Going to see it tomorrow night. I don't have a problem with their popularity. I loved comic books when I was growing up and wished we could get some decent comic book movies. Marvel was really savvy in establishing this shared universe.
-
The fight scenes are all blurry now and hard to see what's happening. I saw a commercial for the Warcraft movie and it looked like two real people in a cartoon world. Just horrible green screen cgi shit. Do actors even have to leave their homes anymore?
-
Fills your pointless empty lives with mindless dreck.
-
I will be going to a theater to see this in a few days. I'll enjoy it, no doubt.
But objectively, yes, the whole superhero movie overload is nearing critical mass.
-
I have no idea who this new group of anti-heroes are but the movie is forthcoming and will be called SUICIDE SQUAD.
The Suicide Squad previews looked pretty damn impressive but the only recognizable character in it is BATMAN and an unrecognizable JOKER.
The young girl who plays one of the anti-hero characters appears to be a promising and upcoming actress, but I have no idea who she is.
Family members worked on this one but all are very secretative and encourage me to make sure I see it as they are positive that this is one such movie that I will appreciate.
I'm looking forward to a Super Hero movie in which the super hero characters fook everything up but still manage to subdue the super-villiin.
Something like that will be forthcoming.
-
Until they make all superheroes black, female, and trans I will not be watching.
-
as long as there are nerds.
-
the fast-cut nonsense has no right to exist anymore. since the avengers, filmmakers have continued to take things to the next level
kingsman: the secret service
dredd
the revenant
mad max: fury road
-
For as long as people watch them. They make lots of money. And they're only getting started in terms of storylines.
the revenant
A very singular film. Whether good or shit is debatable, but unique nonetheless.
-
yea my favourite marvel movie besides the blade trilogy. But that was 12 years ago now!
The punisher is the only one I've enjoyed in recent years.

Y'all should start a movie studio together. You've got your finger on the pulse of what the public wants.
-
Eh, most of the movies are fun enough to watch, but some are definitely better than the others. I liked Ironman, Cap 2, and Guardians, IIRC. Liked Nolan's first two Batmans.
And, they get to DVD so fast now, you can wait and spend $1 to watch them if you don't want to risk the $$ on piece of crap.

Like Avatar and look how much that made. People were raving about the special effects. I found it terrible. Don't understand people.

Long time no see man!
If you wonder what I mean, take a look at the opening battle scene in the revenant, and compare it to similar scenes from gladiator, master and commander, or other similar movies from the early 2000s/late 90s. We've come a long way... The construction of that scene is beautiful.
Btw, if anyone doubts me about kingsmen... Just see it. That movie WILL go down in history as a seminal action flick, the definitive next step in the evolution of action.
John wick, by comparison, was two huge steps backwards. Will never understand the injustice in critical reception here.
Back on topic, the thing with superhero movies is that they've been stuck on origin stories for way too long. But these make the most money because newcomers who know nothing will always comprise the biggest audience. You cant get deep and keep raking in the cash -- you'll start to lose people who havent been keeping up. Welcome to getting old...

I couldn't believe my eyes with the opening scene in Revenant. It seemed most of it was filmed in one take, I can't imagine how long it took them.
I will download kingsmen based on your recommendation!

Yep, it was a masterpiece.
I don't actually remember much about kingsmen outside the action scenes, but they took the ever-more-seamless CGI from the original avengers (think Scarlett johanssens fight with the hulk on the airship) and took it to the next level, dynamically panning and slowing down/speeding up, utterly doing away with jump cuts and creating far and away the most coherent, fastest fight scenes of all time. Utterly jawdropping.
Mad Max copied the on-the-fly speed changes shortly after, to great effect once more.

A ton of clever techniques available now to make some scenes seem like one shot but arnt.My fave legit scene is the first date scene in goodfellas where he takes her through the restaurant
-
when you're past about 25 and have watched quite a few movies it's mostly shit rehashed predictable storylines anyways you may see one decent movie a year
-
Cephissius and Raymondo,
Great to notice that other GetBiggers appreciated that battle scene in The Revenant in which the camera did a 360 pan of all t he action that took place in that fantastic and extremely complicated shot.
I have witnessed a good number of Hollywood filming sequences and was very impressed that it all came together so elaborately.
I left that theater asking myself two elementary questions….
Where was the film crew hiding as the camera did its 360? Did the 20 or so other crew members plus all their equipment simply walk around in order to stay out of frame? Or were they all hidden in that distant tree line in the background?
Was it even possible to rehearse that scene before the camera rolled and then set that scene up again before the camera actually shot it?
That scene was more impressive than any other part of that movie, except for the fact that the acting was damn good too!
-

I also thought it sucked.

Childhood memories and they are good date movies.
Plus Hollywood hasn't really made anything oringal is years. Hence, all the shitty remakes and fast and furious fucking 36.

No idea, but since the past decade I'm pretty sure I have no what I'm even looking at half the time... the line between CGI and "live action" vanished with the avengers. Or how about the fight scene in Kingsmen where Colin Firth goes berserk? I don't think anyone outside a handful of experts has any clue what goes into a scene like that.
-
Deadpool was great. Waiting for the Death Squad now.
-
I watched Fantastic Four the other night and the Human Torch was a black dude! :(
Why change things that are so long established?
-
Da_Vinci,
Death Squad???
Do you mean "Suicide Squad"?
Family members worked on that one and cay it's gonna be a great movie, but since they are all signed to secrecy I have no idea what's involved except for the official advance publicity.
I think it will be a big hit and along the lines of the Deadpool movie ...meaning somewhat humorous among a hail of bullets and other flying objects
Margot Robbie should have a break-out year .
As ANNIE in Terminal
As Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad
And as Jane in The Legend of Tarzan
Also yu can expect to see a great performance by Joel Kinnaman who did a great job in The Killing TV series and as the son in Run All Night.
-
With the current rate of superhero movies raking in the money.
I'm going to say that there is no end in sight.
Remember, each studio is only releasing 2 superhero movies a year. That's it. They are not releasing more as they don't want to dilute the genre.
There are tons of stories still to tell and as long as the story is good. Why not?

Ooh... I fucked that one up, yes you're right. You can add J.Leto as Joker who I'm sure did a great job, he's amazing in weird roles. Should be a nice movie no doubt.

I think it was down to exhaustive rehearsal, they must have practiced for days. To coordinate such a large amount of actors, stuntmen, extras, horses, camera crew, plan out their movements, in the middle of the wilderness where they filmed must have taken some serious effort. As the battle scene started I was vaguely interested, yet another scene with Indians attacking Americans until I noticed there were no cuts, suddenly the screen had my full attention.
The Revenant is probably not the best film ever shot, but one of the most unique. Despite some discreet CGI here and there, the setting made this film as real as it could possibly be, a truly immersive experience and I only watched it on a 27" monitor. I can't imagine what it would have looked like on the BFI IMAX screen I usually go to.

very soon, they are barely breaking 900,000,000 million for each movie , wedding season is around the corner so those cheesy love movies will be back in the theaters soon

I don't often watch movies. BUT, when I do watch, I prefer muscular hunks in spandex pants. ;D ;D ;D

Deadpool was a better story.
There has to be some point at which people tire of cookie-cutter movies and CGI.

Captain America came out first in 1941. Spiderman first appeared in 1961. X-men came out in 1963. Ant man in 1962...
Seventy years gives it some rich material to boil down into some movies and a quick buck.

most people are fucking morons and there taste to movies and music is shit and there more and more being born every day. No individuality between people anymore, everythings the same.

3 parts of Batman was great, everything else is garbage.

Civil war in the comics came out in 2006- ish.
The thing about comics is they can throw a bunch of shit and see what sticks. Not good for comic readers, good for movie watchers.

True, but this "Civil War" wasn't really the Civil War from the comics. That was huge in scale. This was nowhere near that.

Some of you GetBiggers appear to know a hell of a lot about US Superheros and the movies that have been made about some of them way before they became big Hollywood blockbusters, but now I gotta advise you to get into "Manga" if you want to maintain your unquestionable expertise over the next few years.
The major Hollywood film makers are now showing a hell of a lot of interest in Japanese comic books (manga) ..... and after ten years of bickering back and forth in three or four foreign languages ....GHOST IN THE SHELL will be shot, cut, printed, and exhibited for the viewing pleasure of American and international audiences everywhere.
Could 'manga' be the next big Hollywood modus operandi that could possibly 'lessen' the present interest in US superheros and the movies that are made about them?
Or do you think that those who scribe those superhero tales for the movie going public will see the need to change and then , adapt their scripts in accordance with the 'manga-way' in an effort to maintain their present day money making status and box office appeal?

I believe that "Ghost in the shell" is only the beginning. There was a horrible, terrible, awful, shitty Ruroni Kenshin" made in Japan. Dragon Ball Z sucked dirty donkey balls and "Avatar The Last Airbender" wasn't much better.
My guess is that people will CGI classics like "Akira", "Vampire Hunter D", and possibly very successful franchises like "Naruto", "Bleach", "Samurai Champloo", "Cowboy Beebop", "One Piece", "Deathnote", etc... There's no shortage of stories people have enjoyed for years.

The Civil War in the comics was a different story than the one depicted in the movie. They were inspired a bit of course, but it was mainly a WinterSoldier Captain America sobstory pitting Cap and some friends against IronMan and some friends where it all boiled down to Cap VS IronMan in the end.
The Civil War-story in the comics was a huge event, with one side even recruiting former villains, and Punisher killing them.
Punisher even saved Spidermans life.
We're talking Massive Scale.

Not sure if there are contract issues between studios still with mixing X-Men and Fantastic 4 into the avengers universe. Would love to see the Old Hulk-Thing fights or Hulk-Wolverine. Those were epic comics.
I read after the Sony hacks, they wanted to reboot Spiderman since the last 2 movies sucked and made a deal with Disney that they could use spiderman in Civil War if the same Directors (Russo Brothers) take on the new Spiderman movie.
-
If manga starts getting picked up, I'll be stoked.
Berserk could be HUGE, absolutely epic, multiple trilogies.
I've heard death note was 'in the works' on and off, could be great.
Vampire hunter D, like drkaje mentioned, would be awesome. The list goes on and on and on, really...
Scarlett J UTTERLY miscast in ghost in the shell, though... Shoulda went with noomi rapace or Rooney Mara, IMO.
I only hope Hollywood can get the aesthetics right. Will be a huge challenge... a lot of us just don't seem to 'get' Japanese style, unfortunately. They did well with edge of tomorrow, which many people probably don't know was based on a Japanese novel.
I think the easiest will be stuff like berserk or monster, which already had a clear Western influence to begin with.
-
Berserk would be great as a live action motion-picture, with Danny DeVito as Guts and Woody Allen as Nosferatu Zodd.

For real though the kid who played Kai lo Ren practically is griffith

This fad isn't going anywhere
I know a lot of parents of young kids and they have all been sucked into this shit badly. If you have a child at the moment, chances are the kid loves batman and the avengers and shit like that.
So you've got a whole generation of kids growing up with it being financially viable to make movies from superheroes.
-
CEPHISSIUS, I have heard that DEATH NOTE is in pre-production but I was not familiar with the story-line, so I looked it up on IMDB and a short synopsis is as shown below.
Apparently this will be the second major Hollywood production following the anticipated success of GHOST IN THE SHELL which I am presently watching with difficulty as I find it to be somewhat boring.
The following Death Note synopsis may be a SPOILER ALERT so fair warning is advised .......
"Light is an extremely brilliant but bored high-school student until the strange day when he accidentally encounters the Death Note; a mysterious notebook with the power to kill anyone whose name is written inside of it.
With the Death Note in hand, he goes on a personal crusade and moves to kill all evil in the world and become God. He does this all in his new name, Kira, and declares himself the law and justice of the world.
At first things go as he planned, and he moves toward making a 'better' world. However, things don't go as he had anticipated as the relentless 'L' works to track him down, and arrest him."
This sounds to be more interesting than Ghost in the Shell but I am not familiar with Japanese comics since the day I finally realized that you had to read them backwards.
-
@ stuntmovie,
The Deathnote anime was pretty good. I never got around to reading the Manga but one of the kids liked it pretty well.
-
Thanks, DR, I'm going to stop by the library (a great library here in LV) and see if they have a Manga section and check it out.
"MANGA" is probably the only topic in the Universe that I am not totally familiar with, so once I get it down pat ... my brain will most likely get too filled up and explode and place me on a level field with a few other brain-blown GetBiggers .... which leaves you out of that equation of course!
Dos you have any knowledge about or opinion regarding GHOST IN THE SHELL?
It appears that most of Hollywood is waiting for the opening weekend figures of that anticipated event before jumping into Manga with both feet flying.
But if GHOST does fails ...... Death-Note could shortly follow to "save the day!"
(Whatever did happen to Mighty Mouse anyway?)

It was a very intense series towards the end but my kid didn't appreciate some of the more subtle references.

As long as Danny DeVito and Woody Allen are in DeathNote, Berserk and Pokemon Ultra real live action movie, i'm all for it!

I guess it's only teens who watch all these shit superhero movies
Who likes flashy colors and shiny stuff

They are complete garbage that cost a ton if money and it's too bad the latest terminator was geared towards the superhero genre that really bummed me out

Way too long and too much the same with all this computer generated extravaganza shit with fast cut fight scenes.
In a few of those scenes I could not "differenciate" between the puncher and the punchee and often wished that someone would take a bullet to the noggin and end it in half the time (or less)!
No spoilers here but I think you will all enjoy the only scenes that I found to be of interest which were the scenes when Spiderman/boy showed up to save the day!
You're gonna swear that he is the son of Deadpool! .... which made that part of the movie worth watching.
Otherwise you'll be seeing the 'same-old-same-old' with a twist to make it different from the other same-old-same-old.
Don't leave before the credits roll because halfway through that 'roll' they included a scene from a future movie, but since I am no longer a Superhero fan ..... I have no idea what that was all about.
And was that an elephant shaped 'rock' I saw during the final 1 second scene of that overlong 2.5 hour same-old-same-old?
OH, I also go see these superhero movie to see what the hell Stan will be doing next.
Is there an Academy award for doing next to nothing, but doing next to nothing well?
So this afternoon, Stan and Spidey saved the day!
For years to come.
