Movie Marvel Cinematic Universe - News, updates and discussion

I got around 45 mins in I reckon, or at least just prior to it "becoming good". I saw enough to turn off a superhero movie, a rarity.

I definitely agree your earlier point about the uniqueness of these movies leading to overhype. I find that’s very applicable to Black Panther.

But before putting WW in the same category, you need to have actually seen it to be in a position to do so. It definitely gets better, especially once the enter the battlefields.

I actually think it starts and ends pretty poorly (the final battle is rubbish). The middle is pretty good.

I wish he died twice.

You’re a hard hard man, my friend

Sure I will watch the rest but if a movie starts s**t and ends good is it overall a good movie? I watched BP and at no point did I want to turn it off. So it's already above WW.

Even three times a dead guy.

It was way too over the top, CGI wise. Quite jarring considering the rest of the movie had/needed quite minimal special effects.

All valid points, not arguing. I’m just saying a film needs to be seen in its entirety before making a full judgement of where it lands.

FWIW I think WW was fantastic, the end battle did what they all do (especially true of DC) and became a cgi heavy mess but the rest was fantastic and Gal was brilliant.

BP I can understand the criticism a little more. It being nommed for a globe and possibly best picture Oscar is ludicrous in my opinion. It was very similar to other Marvel films and didn’t elevate in many ways with the exception of Jordan’s ott performance as killmonger and okoye.

Gal Gadot was average at best except for the action sequences where she is good.

Chris pine had to carry that movie and did a great job.

BP > WW.

I’d struggle to disagree more.

Harsh on Chris Pine.

Each to their own. But I dont find her to be convincing at all.

Your mistake is focusing on her acting skills.

Gal Gadots acting > Chris Pratt

Marvel rules, DC drools.

WW was overated. Too much bullet dodging and deflecting, then some bullshit powers come out of nowhere at the end of a movie to defeat Ares, who apparently Zeus couldn't even defeat.

Lots of this

more of this?

 

[peternorth]

Looking forward to Captain Marvel. Dont know much about her.

Yeh cause Marvel never makes up the powers or re writes what they are to suit a fight.

Yeah but at least 1 time it was one the best choices they made.

I’m not arguing against doing it. I’m pointing out the hypocrisy of calling it out as a problem exclusive to WW

 

[vast]

I know I just wanted to point out what they did with Thor was great.

 

[peternorth]

But Thor could always summon lightning right?

Gal Gadot was in the Fast and Furious movies too for the record

Yup, jumped without a parachute. Silly girl

Never said it was exclusive to WW. Was just following the theme of the thread at the time.

She's one of the best characters in the MCU. If the movie holds up well(almost a given), it opens the door to many offshoots.

Really hoping that Marvel Studios re-think Inhumans and give them a movie of their own.
