The Comic Book Film Thread *** SPOILERS ***

[hineyrulz]

This movie is probably more a free kick for DC than anything. It’s the first marvel movie I’ve been excited to see since No way home.

I really enjoyed 3. It felt like it had stakes, and there was some real emotion to it. As per usual, the soundtrack slapped.

I will say this though:

Spoiler

Probably the most violent Marvel film? By some margin? Also, the first unfiltered f-bomb in the whole franchise unless I'm mistaken.

Yes to both

Spoiler

I definitely didn't expect them to be as graphic with the high revolutionaries face.

I reckon they're slowly building up the level of violence and swearing in prep for Deadpool joining the franchise

It’s interesting…

because I think James Gunn is evolving as a filmmaker.

In this film he had a really cool one’er which I don’t remember ever seeing in any of his previous work.

I think it’s exciting for DC going forward because IMO he’s 5/5 as far as comic book projects go…. The guardians trilogy. The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker were all brilliant IMO.

The snydercult who are currently trying to attack Gunn have NFI…. He’s so beyond Snyder’s DC work it’s ridiculous….

Across the Spider-verse

Amazing! Didn’t think they could improve on the first one but they did and the sequel is just a work of art.
One of the best sequels in a long time.
The plot
The character development
The artwork in the animation
The pace

The ending was just *chefs kiss*

Probably the best Spider-Man movie or will definitely be up there on peoples list.

I don’t want to oversell it though, just watch it

 

[shiznit]

I just saw it today… maybe it’s still too fresh and I need to wait abit…

but to me… it might be the best comic book film I’ve ever seen.

f**king perfection!

the animation… the music… the voice acting… just absolute f**king perfection!

the only negative I have is that I have to wait a whole f**king year for the follow up.

It definitely competes with the Dark Knight for me
The run time was 2 hours 16 minutes and it flew by. That’s a great sign of how good this film is

Spoiler: Spoiler

The whole theatre groaned when the ending appeared because everyone obviously wanted more. A back to the future 2 type ending and I loved it.


I’ll have to watch it again to get a real gauge where this film is, but there aren’t too many sequels better than this in cinema history. Godfather 2, Empire Strikes Back, T2, Dark Knight come to mind

If they pull off the third, this could be the top of many people’s trilogy lists.

Yup…

I don’t wanna overhype it as it’s still real fresh so I’ve got that recency bias going full tilt… lol

But half way through the year and I reckon at worst it should be in the conversation for a nomination for best picture… and at best it should f**king win the thing.

the only reason it wouldn’t would be because it’s animated and it’s a comic book film… which on their own probably counts them out normally… SMH

Spoiler

That cliffhanger ending was brilliant because even though we all knew going in it was going to have one…

the way they did it with all the roads leading towards a climax then the big twist/reveal that Miles was in a different universe it all happened so late that it left a whole heap of options on where the story can go.

whereas with infinity war we kind of all figured out that time travel was the only way they could really go.

also to me all the plot twist’s actually made perfect sense and weren’t just thrown in like some film tend to do it… like the fact Miles was the original anomaly and how he got it.. which was why he wasn’t invited…

then that the machine took Miles to the other universe where the spider came from… both well thought out twists which weren’t just thrown in for shock value like f**king the Martha bullshit from BvS or that stupid new element Tony’s dad left for him in Iron Man 2…

Not sure about best picture. That’s definitely the recency bias coming into play lol

Spoiler: Spoiler

I didn’t know a cliffhanger ending was meant to happen. Did they say this before? I felt like it was a big surprise when it happened

I agree how all these other plot points weren’t just shoehorned for the sake of it. They really thought about this

Yeah, I think you need to wait a bit . I thought it was really good, not as good as the first one (which I loved) and

Spoiler

not being an actual entire movie in itself was jolting. Empire ends on a cliffhanger but it has a proper structure, this movie just ended. Just annoyed I have to wait for the next one now. I know you said we all knew, but I didn't.

Agree with the last paragraph of your spoiler.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Ben Affleck's Batman and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman look less than thrilled with their latest outing

The troubled actor stars in this regrettable reminder of why the once-thriving DC franchise is wrapping up its extended universe – although Michael Keaton's Batman is (paradoxically) a breath of fresh air.

[Zoidberg]

Just saw The Flash. Best parts are the overall story, Keaton back as Batman and Ezra Miller’s performance/s.
The ending seemed like fan fic and I’m not sure how much changed from what it was originally after the whole new DCU plans.

I thought it was ok, nothing great
Was entertaining but you can tell it cut and changed during production.
Ezra Miller did have a great performance
I liked Supergirl and Keaton was great as old man Batman

Cameos were just useless Easter eggs

 

[shiznit]

Secret Invasion: I actually enjoyed it a lot… it gave me Winter Soldier vibes… kind of a espionage spy thriller vibe…

then came the finale… what utter garbage.

that might just be the worst MCU thing I’ve ever seen… that was terrible and ruined the entire series.

 

[hineyrulz]

I thought the whole series was pure garbage, the finale was the cherry on top. Another great character Disney has destroyed. Fury got the Jake Skywalker and Dementia Jones treatment.

I didn’t mind it up until the finale… although it was probably a little more predictable than I hoped it would be.

that whole super skull thing was utter garbage…

Now we have a character that's ridiculously OP, Marvel is going downhill fast.

 

[Zoidberg]

Watched Secret invasion over the past few days and didn’t mind it mostly. A few episodes (4-5) had some good stuff.
Last episode went off the rails and would have consequences in the MCU but I think they will conveniently forget about stuff after bad reviews.
I’ve seen lots of backlash about Rhodey (which was spoiled for me before watching it) but I didn’t see anything that puts a certain timeframe on what happened.
I’m not expecting much from MCU projects lately so I don’t get as disappointed by the average-ness of it, but not too impressed either.

 

[ACTPanthers]

Watched GOTG 3 on the weekend - Loved it - Great to see Rockets origin

Couple of parts had me laughing out loud (Drax and Mantis are hilarious)
