ben affleck was pretty terrible for the first half. can. not. act. convincingly. Jeremy Irons would have done a better job and they actually could have bought in someone older than batman to play alfred....

definitely not good enough for a stand alone batman but he will do for an avengers rip off.


Batman V Superman could have been great. Some pretty poorly handled sequences and loose as fuck plot lines that made no sense/were just weak took away from the film. They could have improved it many times over by reducing the lois lane involvement by 80%. There were too many cringe worthy dick cheese scenes. Still better than any wolverine film or the 3rd Xmen.

I watched 'man of steel' yesterday to prepare for the B v S today. It was much much better than I remembered it. I actually really like it for the most part.


----and jesse eisenbergs imitation of heath ledger was a joke(r) . kid needs more good drugs to pull that off.

Haven't seen BvS yet. Hoping to soon, but I did enjoy Man of Steel even though it was panned, so Im hoping the same for BvS.

Jeremy Irons is 24 years older than Ben Affleck, so they already did bring in an Alfred that's older than Batman.

DC never said they were doing reshoots to inject more comedy into the movie, that was a bullshit rumour. Then the rumour was they did reshoots because of the reaction to BvS or Deadpool. Also bullshit, fact of the matter is these reshoots were scheduled months and months ago, before the first real trailer even came out and have nothing to do with reaction to anything else. 99% of movies have reshoots ffs.

I don't think the point is to portray the movie as lighthearted, more so that it is going to be dark but fun at the same time.

Imo the best thing about the Suicide Squad trailer is the fact that they're trying to flesh out the 2nd tier characters and giving people a chance to give a shit about them when the movie comes out.

I'm looking forward to this one.

Director of movie defends own movie

lol

Doesn't change the fact they're bullshit rumours. This is David Ayer we're talking about, this movie will be far far removed from lighthearted.

Finally saw the new Star wars. A solid 8/10 a good base to build a new trilogy from. I feel like the people that saw this movie that didn't like it had way high expectations. I just went in with an open mind and enjoyed the experience.

Fucking hell they're remaking Magnificent Seven.

Fuck off Hollywood. Seriously.

-PB

I've no problem with them remaking it, I've concerns with their choice of director and the presence of Chris Pine.

When I heard they were doing it I was hoping they would get all the ageing western actors and do it Expendables style. Eastwood, Costner, Redford, etc., as aging gunslingers.

I know mel gibsons a bit of punchline these days but this looks pretty good.

The scene where he enter's Zod's ship and asks for all the information on the alien database is very important because it directly allowed Darkseid's influence to corrupt Lex (even more) therefore making his actions (past that point at least) to have some meaning as to why they are so eccentric. Before that he was a sociopathic rich boy, like a crazy comic book Zuckerberg

Notice he was in trance (also I believe that is Steppenwolf)

IGN'S TOP 25 CHEESY ACTION MOVIES

Share. Let's party!
BY LUKE REILLY Cheese. Some say it’s a delicious food product made from pressed milk curd left to ripen and age. And they are right; that is a fundamentally accurate description of what cheese very literally is. But literal cheese is for crackers. Figurative cheese? Well, that’s just the glorious, stringy goo that binds together some of the finest action films this side of 1967.

Cheesy action movies stand apart from regular action films; cheeseball action movies revel in their ridiculous plots, corny one-liners, and absurd stunt sequences. The following films may not share the same esteemed reputations as objectively great action classics like Die Hard or RoboCop or Terminator 2, but they are amongst the cream cheese of the crop when it comes to silly yet sincere, bicep-bulging brilliance. Sure, they’re not really on the same rung as important stuff like Aliens, and Lethal Weapon, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. And sure, those are the movies that have all the acclaim, and the influence, and the genre-defining legacies. But do you know what they don’t have? Ninja.

Some absolute corkers on this list.

Remake of Jumanji confirmed with Dwayne Johnson most likely playing Robin Williams' character.

My thoughts exactly.

So Civil War is great, best MCU movie alongside Winter Soldier imo. Spider-Man steals the show and so fucking glad Marvel has creative control over him, although still haven't come to terms with Aunt May being hot yet.

Also Black Panther is great, did a lot more development on him than I thought they would, can't wait for the solo movie.

Edited by sydneycroatia58: 28/4/2016 06:18:15 PM

Tbf it is Aunt May, She's not a grandmother like the original one made it appear like lmao.

I agree. The Russo's showing that they are much safer hands with these characters than Whedon was when he was given creative control.

My only criticism is around the really shockingly bad CGI in some of the smaller sequences - particularly Lagos and Bucharest. It seems like they went over their CG budget a bit on the airport scene (which was worth every cent of the ticket alone) and didn't have the time or money to polish up some of the other parts of the film.

There really aren't any performance or script issues that I identified, and fears of it being too saturated with characters and stories after the shitfest of BvS were completely laid to rest.

Watched 'Look Who's Back' on Nerflix today.

Great movie, light hearted and some very funny scenes. If you can handle sub-titles (the whole film is in German), it's well worth a watch.

Yeah there was one really weird part in Bucharest where it looked like they were running at 1.5-2 times speed and it looked really bad. Although I can handle things like that if we get more scenes like the airport fight, because holy shit that was worth it.

Better Avengers movie than Ultron and has me really excited to see what the Russo's do with Infinity War.

[spoiler]Also so happy with Zemo as a villain, the first since probably Loki to really fuck with the Avengers' heads and the only one who in the end kind of wins.[/spoiler]

The movie is based off a book, if you enjoyed the movie you should definitely give it a read (it's been translated into English).

That movie trailer makes the movie look good.

Might have to give this one a watch

Looks surprisingly good, will check it out.

Edited by MrBrisbane: 3/5/2016 04:14:17 PM

Civil War was good.

The scripting was awful and cringeworthy, and Spider-Man was shit because of that, but yeah... Good movie

This was one which came out a bit earlier this year which got a lot of interest, I was disappointed by the cinematic experience (difficulty understanding the dialogue) but have watched it on a platform WITH SUBTITLES

^ With subtitles its a more cerebral, and pretty fucked up experience

And it features Kate Dickie (Lysa Arryn) from Game of Thrones
