Mr. Sinister Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 After slowly recovering from the first 25:00, i have to say i really enjoyed Iron Fist, being highly skeptical going in. For as visceral a reaction as it got, I was expecting much much worse and have seen worse. Noticeably not to the level of the other three productions, but it kept my attention and I saw it through to the end. I enjoyed the Defenders as well, but it seemed like everything was on fast forward. Wasn't ready for it to end quite yet. Guess that's what happens when you have to pay so many people Black Panther looks amazing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 D'Onofrio's Kingpin is a thing of ugly beauty. The best casting in all of Marvel tv shows (other than their pick to play the Punisher). He chews up the scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hardy + an R rating should do it imo. The symbiosis/transformation should be terrifying and violent. Not sure how they go about this as a Venom exclusive though, seeing as Spider-Man is integral to Venom's beginning and end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I have no idea either which is why I’m worried. I know Hardy will be great in it and put in the work. I just hope the writing is up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what the plot is, other than my knowledge of the Symbiote storyline from the comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor is going to be a joke. Literally. Check out this audience review from the SuperHeroHype board: "Ultimately, it's like most of the newer Marvel movies; slick but shallow, doesn't take it self seriously, and full of obligatory CGI fight scenes with no real impact. Ragnarok basically throws in all the great stuff from the comics that haven't been used yet, pays lip service to them, and then takes the piss out of the whole thing. Hulk fighting Thor? Has no impact because it's all so comedic. It's just empty spectacle. The whole movie is like that.So much here is wasted. Heimdall (Idris Elba looks like he didn't even want to be there). Cate Blanchett. Odin. Skurge. The Fenris Wolf. Surtur. Planet Hulk. The whole Ragnarok myth is reduced to not very much. All sacrificed at the alter of constant, silly gags." Ouch. And there dozens of more reviews like that. One reviewer even said the movie should have been called "Ragnarok: The End of Thor"!

Zguy28 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Gonna see Thor today at 4:10. So excited for my favorite Marvel character. Well, tied with Cap anyway. I still think that the first Thor was one of the best movies in the line. It had some serious character themes: the arrogant learning humility, sacrifice for others, etc. Also been resisting all urges to read about its plot or details. Gonna call it here though: Hela's gonna have the Soul Gem. I bet I'm right. Edited November 3, 2017 by Zguy28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action-Adventure Comedy. The fusion of two genres. It's perfect for Thor because he was originally a fun and swashbuckling comic. He doesn't have limits on his powers like the other heroes, so the kind of tension and realism that makes Iron Man and Captain America gripping won't work for him. So you can go two routes: make a tight-assed, pretentious, joyless, boring piece of crap like DC did with their Superman movies, or you can make a movie that's fun and reflects the spirit of Stan Lee. I think Taika Waititi was an inspired choice to direct this movie. Marvel Studios hasn't always made the best choices about who to direct their properties. I liked Kenneth Branagh's work on the first one, but I think they found the right guy for Thor now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in this young director's take. But you have to understand people's trepidation at seeing another Thor. Dark World was more boring than a Masterpiece Theatre marathon on PBS. It was beyond awful. I'm waiting to gauge the audience reviews. If they are overwhemlingly positive, I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best way for me to describe it is a Saturday morning cartoon come to life. Especially when Hulk is talking. It's by far the most dialogue he's had in the MCU and he's like the Hulk in the cartoon which I thought worked. Some people will think Thor is a little too happy-go-lucky and won't like the changes they made to his character but I think mcqueen brings up some good points about Superman in DC. Taika Waititi's strength is comedy and interactions between characters. Those elements play out really well. But I think he should have reigned it in a bit. At some points the film did feel like a parody of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such as the hair cutting or the bouncy ball scene. Not that they weren't funny, just didn't add anything. Loved Goldblume and Blanchette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
