Movies The Movie Thread! - Continuation - Part 1

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

This movie looks rather crappy, judging from the trailer.

Henry Cavill is such a terrible actor in general, actually despite the initial prejudice that some may have with Ben Affleck as Batman I actually think he could pull it off....but they really fucked up when they cast Jesse Eisenberg as Lex imo.I also pictured him as someone older physically, and bald too.The hair makes him look like a teenager.And he even sounds and acts as one judging from the trailer.

I'm keeping an open mind about Einsenberg's Lex Luthor.

The look is way off but if the performance is there it's all good. That's what really matters. I thought Kevin Spacey for example had the look perfectly but the performance just wasn't there. He looks like he'll bring a slight sense of humor to the film too. Which DC's superhero movies badly need to get from somewhere IMO.

I still just can't believe they structured a trailer to show...

This is what happens in the first act.
This is what happens in the second act.
This is what happens in the third act.

---------------------------------------

They better not do the same thing to Suicide Squad because that's a movie I have higher hopes for.

That Batman v Superman trailer wasn't a trailer at all. It was a cliff notes version of the movie. What is even left to see?

The Civil War trailer was pretty much what I expected, for the most part. The only bit that surprised me was that they seem to be making Bucky Barnes the core of the conflict. I assumed it was going to be the powers that be going overboard in attempts to control Scarlet Witch's powers that would touch things off; which is a lot closer to what the comic arc was. Going to war to protect Bucky is a bit.. I don't know about that one. I guess we'll see.

Basically I'm all for coming to the aid of emotionally fragile, and smokin' hot, red headed girls but grumpy 90+ year old cyborg men can rescue their own damn selves.

I think the main issue is that there is no context that explains why they'd fight over bucky. Bucky supposedly died, was captured and experimented on. Everyone knows that. So what is the problem here? It's not much of a war as much as it is captain being an old man trying to grasp what the youngsters are doing.

I thought the context was kind of implied.

It's going to be one group of heroes representing structure and order. Trying to enforce a set of rules they think will make the world safer. While another set of heroes represent more of an independent mindset. Valuing what they believe is right over that order.

That's the Civil War arc in a nutshell and based on the trailer it seems that's what the movie is going to be too. I'm assuming there is some horrific crime early on that Bucky gets implicated in. It's probably not entirely what it appears to be and the two different perspectives come into conflict over how to handle it. Which I think will work to a degree.

I just don't know how sympathetic Bucky is capable of being.

Here is trailer I do like that actually build the hype instead of killing it.


Not familiar with the book, though I do know it illustrated by the amazing Jim Kay. But the trailer leaves of a very interesting vibe. Directed by Bayona and executed by his regular crew (Lot of people responsible for the Orphanage and Pan's Labyrinth). Felicy Jones, Sigourney Weaver and Liam Neeson in key roles. Sounds almost too good to be true for me.

Is it just me or is that list incredibly underwhelming?

Yeah where's Macbeth?

Yep, this year, both the choice of movies and the style itself were not as good as the years before, see for comparison below. I have seen maybe 15 of the movies in the list and from those, i can probably only recommend 5 or so. RottenTomatoes´ top 100 of 2015 is pretty good this year imo, at least the top 50-60.

I just saw the x-men apocalipse trailer... that looks promising. I get the impression it might rub certain religious groups wrong though.

It might just be the trailer, but it was kind of glaringly obvious how hard they're pushing Jennifer Lawrence. Not sure if the movie is like that, but it doesn't really make much sense to me.

 

[Schabrak]

I don't like her taking an main role again, though it's obvious they do so because of her attracting viewers. Definitly left a far better impression than Batman v Superman, but that's probably stemming from it spoiling the entire movie already.

Another underwhelming big hype blockbuster teaser;

It's been out more than 12 hours and I didn't hear about it untill now. Wonder if it because no one really cares, or if just bad timing with Star Wars hype. With Star Wars coming, a really bad date to publish that. Only reason that makes sense for me, is that this will be one of the trailers shown with Star Wars.

Ugh The Force Awakens is sold out everywhere around here, for every timeslot for the few 2 days at least. I really wanted to watch it on its opening night.

Saw the force awakens at 11pm. Theater was half full good part of living in a rural area.

Mine had like 7 trailers attached, xmen apocalypsye, capt amr civil war, warcraft, fifth wave, fantastic beasts, zootopia, kungfu panda 3

For star wars7...

Protagonists were dull, fin is an awful protagonist, the one with him was boring and derivative which made it boring.

Spoiler

but the antagonist so hot. Please sign me up to serve under this hotness. Best star wars character ive seen and when the mask is off. Wow. Excellently written character excellently developed. I love his non masked partner as well.
