Civil War will (likely) be good. When's the last time we had a legitimately poor Marvel outing? Iron Man 2?

The Dark World.

Not a big fan of Captain America: The First Avenger either. Both are pretty bad.

agree to disagree man. if iron man 2 is your measuring stick i'd put age of ultron and the thors and cap 1 below it.

i'm not gonna call these completely poor, they're all serviceable movies but they're not particularly good either imo. it's for the fans though. people enamored with the universe love some of it.

Iron Man 3

MCU has a running streak of shit villains and IM3 tried to dress it up.

Little late there on the OT, aren't you?

 

[Frozenprince]

OH MY GOD
You just gave me a fucking heart attack
I wish all the evils in the world upon you, holy fuck

This thread needs Jesus tbh.

Playing with a grown mans emotions like that.

I GOT FEELINGS.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Jesus Christ. I completely forgot about Thor 2.

Dont worry, we all did.

"Also will direct next Mad Max movie"

STOP

Honestly, AoU is probably my least favorite MCU film besides Hulk. Though that probably had to do with my expectations going into it.

I liked Thor 2 a lot more than the critics did. Loki was fucking awesome in that film. I'm holding onto hope that the same thing will happen with BvS. The critics were wrong, I tells ya. It's gonna be great!


; _ ;

 

[StoopKid]

Jesus Christ. I completely forgot about Thor 2. Talk about irony.

But hell naw, not AoU.

Thor 2 has 66% on rt for comparison.

Can Marvel-Gaf forgive my sins and let me hold myself into their arms

 

[Obliterator]

I mean there is always a chance the general audiences like this movie though? Critics and general audiences dont always agree so maybe people will like it more than we think.

That said the idea of the movie being boring and overly long dont help all that much

 

[G-Fex]

The first Transformers movie was all I ever needed. I repeat, THE FIRST Transformers movie was all I needed.

But the cartoon movie was garbage too.

And here we go again

"Also will direct next Mad Max movie"

No god. Please no.

You made me spit mountain dew all over my screen you asshole!!!!

 

[NumberTwo]

3 year wait, guys. 3 years and this is what they give us. The best I can hope for now is that my personal tastes don't completely align with the general critic reception.

 

[Hot Coldman]

The banter between Thor and Loki was good.

The portals fights at the end was cool.

Natalie Portman's friend with the big boobs was hot as fuck.

...Thats about it.

The portals scene was amusing just for that one lady on the tube checking out Thor, and them falling down the Shard

that's it

 

[CaviarMeths]

I guess when you already turned Superman into Batman in the last movie, the only place left to take Batman is to turn him into Punisher. Need to keep that dynamic between them.

 

[MisterHero]

Little late there on the OT, aren't you?

I had the material gathered for over a year on another computer and it broke, so I'm trying to reconstruct it haphazardly.

>_>

 

[DJKhaled]

Oh boy, we just had to bring the MCU into this.

Why wouldn't we? this movie was meant to be a big part of the DCU and they are off to a really bad start, not only was the DCU a knee-jerk reaction to Marvel but it was also poorly planned.

Generally if it's niche complaints like bad cinematography or editing or things only film guys notice it's one thing.

Most reviews say it's dull, you can't fix dull. But, it might pull a Bayformers and pull people anyways because shit go boom.

 

[BronsonLee]

Y'all are fucking with Creed and Mad Max, I can't have that
I hope ya'll are happy with this movie being Snyderized

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Max Landis is probably grinning thinking his time to takeover is soon. He's already cozy with DC.

"Also will direct next Mad Max movie"

"We just got word that George Miller has passed away."

 

[xaosslug]

You mean George Miller.

Nolan is busy reviving the WW2 genre.

if WB were smart, but CLEARLY they're not. smh

It'll pull people because it has Batman and Superman in the title.

What's next, turn Punisher into Spawn?

Then turn Spawn into Donald Trump?

Haha, okay. Take your time. Not like the thread is going to turn out any better than this one.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Pretty much a given fact that Suicide Squad will have a higher RT score than BvS.

And that's when you can use the cast photo of them both side by side where the Suicide Squad team is smiling but the BvS team is not.

 

[Frozenprince]

Well yeah that goes without saying. But it will have legs cause shit go boom.

 

[Timu]

I thought Transformers 1 was legit good.

2 and 3 were the fucking drizzling shits. Worse than Man of Steel.

I agree with this.

 

[RBelong2Us]

How much of everyone's childhood can Snyder ruin? Seriously... Let this guy leave popular series alone. Dawn was a fluke .

 

[Toxi]

"We just got word that George Miller has passed away."

Jesus don't do that

 

[ReiGun]

Dont worry, we all did.

I didn't.

I can't forget the afternoon I wasted on that shit. Nor can I forgive.

 

[Rooster12]

Yep....first time ever for Batman and Superman being on screen and it's 39%.....

Something ain't right with the world.

 

[AquaWateria]

Say what you want about the TV show Smallville but Michael Rosenbaum was an amazing Lex Luthor.


Seriously why Eisenberg as Lex Luthor?

 

[Damerman]

Damn. I had high hopes for this.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I only remember Thor 2 because I just sold my Blu-Ray of it.

I bet if you watch this movie as if it was a PPV WWE match it's alright.

No, you're right about that. Serviceable is the right term, I think, though there are better ones within the series and crap ones, too. But Age of Ultron below Iron Man 2?

Dont worry, we all did.

Truth.

 

[botty]

Probably happy their agents tossed the BvS script in the trash.

Creed, afraid that Dragonov will follow in his father's murderous footsteps, kills him in the ring with a vile uppercut.

I'm hoping for Identity crisis adaptation.

Wonder Woman next...

If people were able to cope with Batman and Robin or Superman IV, I am sure their childhoods will withstand whatever BvS does.

This has basically been the story of Darth Vader.

I enjoyed MoS a lot more than reviews should have indicated. If this is more of the same, I am going to love this.

*shrug*

 

[Toxi]

Gotta lower those expectations.

 

[guek]

gonna be honest. outside of fury i don't fuck with ayer as a director at all.

harsh times was freaking terrible. sabotage was even worse.

but i love the aesthetic they have going (huge minority on that one, i was sold on their vision of the joker like a few minutes after my initial shock, i got it) and the casting and trailers. so i'm kinda worried for that but optimistic based on what they've been selling.

edit: oh right he made end of watch too, that was a decent cop flick.

He wrote Training Day. That's probably the best thing he's ever done.
