Well, how else would you have people cheering?

I wouldn't. They're in a cinema, not at the theatre.

Sixx 07-18-2011 01:50 AM

I wouldn't too. But that's how some people react.

Remember when I went to the premiere of Star Wars Episode III (was never a huge fan, but got free tickets) and there were a bunch of nerds sitting in the back that started cheering and clapping once they put Anakin in the Vader suit.

Kalyx triaD 07-18-2011 01:57 AM

People cheer at movies all the time.

Sixx 07-18-2011 02:11 AM

Nowhere Man 07-20-2011 03:57 PM

Hmmmm......

On the one hand, I like the cast, I like the old-school web-shooters, I like that they're using Gwen instead of Mary Jane and that it looks like they're incorporating bits of nerdy-science-geek Gwen from Spectacular Spider-Man, and the first-person wall-crawling sequence put a big stupid grin on my face.

On the other hand.......I'm really not digging the 'dark and angsty' atmosphere they're going for. Peter's got that Edward Cullen vacant stare, and the only lines he says sound really whiny. It's like they're trying to cross the Nolan Batman movies with Twilight, and neither of those are really appropriate for Spider-Man, who's supposed to be a smartass and a goofball who fights villains the Avengers would just laugh at.

I'm sure it's going to be a good movie. I just don't think it's going to be the movie I want, and that's really going to annoy me.

Lock Jaw 07-20-2011 04:00 PM

Peter Parker's hair is too poofy and tall. :shifty:

Is this the first time Peter's parents have ever been seen in anything? Are they supposed to alive and off on a secret mission in this new movie? Who is the bad guy in the new movie anyways?

Lock Jaw 07-20-2011 04:05 PM

Never mind. Quick search turns up that the villain is The Lizard and that Peter's parents have been established in the comics as being spies for the CIA or something.

Reavant 07-20-2011 04:11 PM

who is supposed to be the villain in this?

Nowhere Man 07-20-2011 04:11 PM

It always bugged me that the Parkers were CIA operatives (or were they SHIELD? I don't remember). That just seemed to be an unnecessary addition to the franchise. The only thing we really needed to know about them is that they're dead and that's why he's being raised by his aunt and uncle. Having it turn out that his mom and dad were actually super-spies kind of spoils the whole 'just an average kid who accidentally stumbled into some superpowers' angle.

It's a cool twist, but I agree with this. It waters down the 'average' a whole lot.

According to wikipedia, that's been part of the Spidey franchise since 1968. They just rarely ever bring it up because it's, y'know.......stupid.

Shadow 07-21-2011 05:16 PM

Its how they explain why Peter's folks aren't alive anymore. Easy backstory to write really.

parkmania 07-21-2011 07:49 PM

Quote:

During the Real Steel truck event at the San Diego Comic-Con earlier today, Hugh Jackman confirmed who the villain will be for The Wolverine.

He told the crowd that filming is scheduled to start in October and that "Chris McQuarrie has written a fantastic script." He added that he will fight the Silver Samurai in the new film and "that should be exciting."

As we've previously reported, Jackman said that most of the filming will take place in Japan.

A new director for the film has not been announced and 20th Century Fox has not set a release date yet.


And a collective "Meh" came forth from the masses.

Lock Jaw 07-21-2011 08:40 PM

Really, with it being already confirmed as a mostly Japan story, Silver Samurai was kinda obvious.

Fignuts 07-21-2011 09:35 PM

Yeah, and not to mention he's the only other really cool wolvie villain besides Deathstrike, and they obviously can't go with her since Logan has already lost his memory.

Who else could they use? Romulus? lol, no thank you.

Fignuts 07-21-2011 09:45 PM

So my thoughts on Fear Itself so far:

SPOILER: show
Really not liking this. Just don't like the flow of this. Doesn't really hook me in any way. And I'm already pissed off cause they killed off bucky cap. And since they had this big dramatic moment with Steve redonning the stripes, I don't think he's coming back. Which is incredibly fucking stupid for a number of reasons.

One, it renders one of the greatest sagas in Captain America's history to be pretty much meaningless. Two, we lose the potential years of great sories of Bucky trying to fill the shoes of rogers. The recent Trial storyline was great, and just the tip of the iceberg, in regards to what could be done with the character. Three, we miss out on all the great stories that could have come from Steve Rogers becoming the new Nick Fury, and doing that job in his own way.

Seriously, Marvel spent all this time freshening up these two characters in ways that would give them years of original new stories, just to hit the reset button and go back to square one.

Cap didn't even die in a cool way. He just got owned by Sin. Even the art was lazy. I didn't realize it was a killing blow til a page later.

What a fucking joke. I really don't care how good the rest of this is, I won't like it unless they somehow bring back Cap at the end.

Reavant 07-22-2011 12:36 AM

to be fair they didnt actually confirm
SPOILER: show
he died

Inadequacy 07-22-2011 02:47 AM

It feels like there are too many stories happening in the main book. I know they did that as to not force people to buy more tie-in series; but with so little time to devote to every story it doesn't feel like any of them progress naturally. It always feels rushed or like there isn't any progression.

Also
SPOILER: show
issue 4 confirms he's dead

Fignuts 07-22-2011 12:41 PM

What Ina said.

Fignuts 07-22-2011 12:42 PM

Siege had the same problem, though it's 4 issue structure didn't help either.

I saw Thor online and First Class and honestly Thor was sorta boring. Thor was good, but not anywhere near Iron Man good. Maybe Incredible Hulk good but not close to great. First Class was way better, surprisingly.

Shadow 07-22-2011 05:26 PM

Just cause he's dead doesn't mean he's dead. This is comics after all.

Fox 07-24-2011 05:26 PM

So, what, am I the only one who went and saw Captain America this weekend?

7/10

I really enjoyed it for the most part. Chris Evans surprised me in that I don't usually care for his work, but he was a pretty great Captain America. Hugo was awesome as Red Skull, although I kind of wish he had gotten more screen time. I would've liked to see a little bit more intense action - I mean, I was basically expecting a war movie with a superhero on the battlefield, and that's not what we go. Director Joe Johnston has some quirks that I don't really care for, but they're all small things and overall I think he did a good job.

I guess there's not much to be expected out of an origin story since you already know what's going to happen for about 2/3rd's of the movie, and then the rest is predictable. You have to wait until the sequel to decide whether this character can really stand on legs or not. Looks like we'll be waiting awhile to find out since Cap's next feature will be as part of The Avengers.

Anyway, good movie, I suggest seeing it.

LuigiD 07-24-2011 09:43 PM

It was pretty good. I felt the musical part went on for perhaps..too long. I don't have much of a patience for musical segments so I suffered through it. The fair part was cool..specially for the cameo that I am sure some picked up.
Couldn't get over the fact that there was a multiracial unit during WWII. It bugged me throughout the whole movie. Pretty good tho. I think I give it a 7 as well.

dronepool 07-25-2011 05:28 AM

Captain America was way better than Thor. Thor was pretty alright, but Cap was very good.

Oh wow, that's pretty awesome! So if they ever make a second Avengers movie, you think this is preparing for a Vision appearance?

LuigiD 07-25-2011 12:07 PM

I am thinking more Captain America 2 perhaps. I would love to see them expand stories from the WW2 period. Possibly introducing the Invaders?

Inadequacy 07-25-2011 02:28 PM

There's one really small part where bucky snipes a guy and cap gives him a sort of disapproving look. I really hope that was foreshadowing some winter Soldier stuff in the future.

Kalyx triaD 07-25-2011 02:57 PM

I would love for Winter Soldier to be a focal or secondary enemy in a future movie that takes place in the present (Cap 3?). All the talk points to Cap 2 being a WWII flash back.

OR, have Winter Soldier appear in some other Marvel movie. SHIELD? Maybe his own short film like they're planning.

Lock Jaw 07-25-2011 03:01 PM

I'd like to see Cap 2 in the present. Adjusting to his new time, but with flashes to the past that inevitably intertwine with the story in the present.

Jon Kano 07-25-2011 04:05 PM

Yes. Nic Cage returns. New director(s) and approach to the character. Apparently the first one wasn't hardcore enough.

LuigiD 07-26-2011 10:22 AM

Interested to see what they pull off with the new one. Huge Ghost Rider mark and the first one literally killed my interest with the character. Not getting my hopes up but something a little darker would gain my love.

First one was definitely emulating the 90's comic. Which kind of sucked.

Modern era Ghost Rider has a different feel. Don't really want to say "darker", but it's not as bright and colorful as the 90's one. Doesn't really feel like a superhero book either.

It's also a pretty good read. Some of the artwork is amazing too.

Jon Kano 07-26-2011 06:18 PM

That Ghost Rider poster looks like its from Robot Chicken or something.

Kalyx triaD 08-17-2011 12:39 PM

Or any panel of a villain with a strange gun, eh? But it seems the threat is alien for sure.

I said this about Dark Knight; production photos. And sure Cap's suit is simply not as cool as his own movie, but bear in mind some details. None of the Avengers have entire budgets for their costumes anymore, I'd go as far as to expect every suit will not match the quality of their exclusive movies. It's a shared budget now. Thor's Ultimates-inspired costume even, looks cheaper to construct than his exclusive suit. I believe a great deal of money went into Hulk and Iron Man, with Thor and Cap kinda getting the shaft.

But after post-production, perhaps things will look cooler. This is still a badass concept happening on screen for the first time.

parkmania 08-17-2011 06:19 PM

Marvel's movie studio made Captain America. Marvel's movie studio is making Avengers. Why the hell would the costumes used in CA not be available for Avengers?

I mean, I could see if it was a thing where Sony did one and Marvel did the other, but it seems like it would actually be a cost SAVING move to drag the original costumes out of the wardrobe instead of having to make new, even if the second one is cheaper.

LuigiD 08-17-2011 06:54 PM

Regardless of who it is..Kree, Skrull, Shi'Ar, generic aliens invented for film..
just happy they are expanding into the galactic universe of marvel. Hope to eventually see Nova or Thanos around.

Kalyx triaD 08-17-2011 08:09 PM

Or at least just skrull. Skrulls are much more popular, and well known, especially with Secret Invasion still fresh in people's minds.

Also, come on. Skrulls are way more cool than kree.

I want X-Men movies that are ripped from the comics. Not something that is dappered up to appeal to a wider market.

Please give me something similar to the vibe of the great animated series or X-Force. Make it for the fans of the comics please. Stay true. Keep it X-men.

First Class was great but so much more to do. Sadly X3 was the most X-Men ish of the trilogy that was made. X3 not that great but it began to feel more like the X-Men universe.

Shooting on Wolverine 2 may be pushed back to next spring, according to Deadline. The film was originally scheduled to start shooting on November 11 (see “’Wolverine’ Sequel Filming in Canada”) in Canada. Reasons for the potential rescheduling are somewhat murky, with the weather in Japan and a delay until star Hugh Jackman finishes Les Miserables both cited.

Rammsteinmad 08-25-2011 03:50 PM

Are there plans for a Deadpool movie or has that been dropped? Things on the DP front have been quiet for a long time.

Kalyx triaD 08-25-2011 03:53 PM

Ryan's busy with RIPD but he still has interest and Fox mentioned the project a few months ago. Taking longer than I want.

Rammsteinmad 08-25-2011 03:55 PM

Same here. Seems like Wolverine came out fucking ages ago. Thought Ryan did a great job as Deadpool in that movie (considering he only had a few minutes of screen time). But a full-blown DP movie, with a decent costume, jokes and pop-culture references would be awesome.
