Star Wars , Bond, Moby Dick and other holiday Blockbusters

I still don't care for ant man. But I did enjoy the movie civil war. Haven't thought much of what I want to see next.

This weekend looks to be slim pickings.

If they're going to take a sharp turn from source material why even bother? That's disrespectful to both audiences as it's shitting on fanboys and it's deceiving the typical movie goer who doesn't read comics. All the movie was about the Avengers fighting amongst themselves which they have done in the comics over and over. CW brought in a lot more people from within the Marvel Universe.

CW in the comics was a decent storyline and don't know why people hated it. Even then when I read it I thought of X-Men but to me if felt like it was rehashed to touch base on The Patriot Act and all the other shit going on at the time. The aftermath was hokey but it is what it is. Originally Posted by Fishpie

And remember, for Muggles, this is the first time that the heroes really fight it out against each other in the MCU (Thor / IM / Cap in Avengers 1 is a getting-to-know-you, strangers-meeting-up squabble).

I think people didn't like CW in the comics in part because it tried to add too much of a real world element into comic books. Fundamentally, masked vigilantes are all criminals as well, but those types of comic books don't really work unless you kind of ignore the obvious problem with that.

IM's position in CW was also more extreme (either you Register with the US government or else we hunt you down) compared to the movie (the UN would like to sanction the Avengers and if you don't want to sign up, you just retire now).

WB has alaways had tremendous faith in Zack Snyder

Watchmen
Sucker Punch
Legends of the Guardian

Now the DC Movie-Verse. Originally Posted by cr76

I liked tom holland as spiderman - did not think he was the entitled douchebag that Andrew Garfield portrayed him as in the previous incarnation.

Love Marissa Tomei. Originally Posted by cr76

Marissa Tomei is still gorgeous to me.

This. Plus it never crossed my mind to ever get a chubby from Aunt May until now. Originally Posted by Fishpie

I forgot - yeah 300 was his first WB MOVIE

Saw CW and loved it! Easily the best comic book movie so far! Hopefully,Suicide Squad can bring back some positive momentum to DC!

Civil War totally missed me. It was flashy it had some parts that were ok but nothing special.

There was a preview to Rogue One which I want to be excited about but with the recent kick to the teeth that was TFA I am leer to be too interested.

I can't wait for Rogue One - love the return to the Death Star and it looks darker. I wouldn't be surprised if that chick dies retreating the plans. I wonder how it will end , because a new hope picks up with Alexa racing the plans to the rebels. Also, they have young mon mothma, will they have young leia and young Grabd Moff Tarkin??

Don't know if you've been watching Star Wars: Rebels, but young Leia (teenage) shows up in that.

Well - now the her character has reached the end SPOILER!!!!!! Agent Carter passes on in Civil war - don't really know if that's a spoiler - she was on her death bed in winter soldier - could they still use her in flash backs or would she come back for flashbacks.

Neighbors 2 also come out this week

I think Xmen next week.

New Ghostbusters trailer which is better then the first one. While people are still upset over it , the 2nd trailer is getting a better response.

I got tickets to a screening of Kevin Smith's Yoga Hosers followed by a live Q&A. Don't know if the movie will be any good , tusk was ok and Kevin's best films have always been the view askew stuff - but he's great to see live.
