Brian Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 08:07 AM) IMO, it seems like it is built to do exactly that. It's the "we've made enough money so were going to do whatever the **** we want and then still make it a key part of our universe's plot line" move. There's a raccoon with a gun and Vin Diesel plays a tree. Bradley Cooper is the raccoon, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one actually worries me more, maybe due to the level of trust each franchise has built up. Marvel just is nailing everything, while DOFP, even though it has Singer involved, is a franchise that has only put out a solid movie on 1 of its last 4 attempts. On top of that, they're using Wolverine to drive the plot and he's been the worst-used of them all. That said, I was blown away by how much I liked X0, so maybe there's still some promise here. I just feel like I'm expecting to laugh at GOTG and find it lighthearted, crazy, and enjoyable even if not the best of the series, and DOFP is set up for me to be disappointed.

I keep waffling back and forth on DoFP. One trailer and i am like "just looks like a mess", then i see another and i want to see it badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The Winter Soldier was great. It's amazing how different the two Captain America movies are. First one is kinda of campy and the new one is serious modern political thriller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd one should easily be better, I'm glad this has easily become the best series out of the rest (IM 3 wasn't doing much for me,Thor is blah).

caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Nymphomaniac Part I by Lars Von Trier was a lot more thought provoking and less "pornographic" than it has been made out to be. Staarsgkard was the highlight for me with his style...a bit jarring when you see Christian Slater or Uma Thurman or Shia LeBouf but the story doesn't revolve around them, they're all bit roles. Curious now to see what happens in Part II. Any rumination on morality, the double standard between "promiscuous" men and women, of how we judge others as well as ourselves...it's a worthwhile topic, although certainly not a mainstream one. I'm not even a fisherman, but I enjoyed tying in the analogy of picking up members of the opposite sex to fly fishing, haha.

Batman regardless of when it comes out but one of those two movies will end up moving. I just don't see anyway that a sequel to a s***ty movie directed by Zach Snyder that is also adding a bunch of characters won't be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are trying to do something to compete with Marvel, but they cant figure it out. The funny thing is, it isnt like Marvel has hidden the secret. It is right there in front of you, they created a long storyboard, probably with a lot of flexibility, and have mapped out their stories with the comic storylines as a guide. DC has plenty of storylines that they can get into with Justice League. Nolan used The Long Halloween and Knightfall as his guide, The Man of Steel used the new 52 Superman origin as inspiration. I just think BvS is such a massive leap for them, with no established properties in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before they got to that point, they wrote and put out a pair of good movies that set the stage for everything else. Key word being good.

HuskyCaucasian Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Marvel has done a very good job at interweaving the various story lines and movies... more so lately than the first few movies. With Batman vs Superman. They are essentially just dumping the movie on us with no build up or development. What DC should do is have at least one more Batman and one more Superman movie, with maybe one other character movie.. THEN do Batman vs Superman. As of right now, there will be a Superman movie and that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
