Movies The Movie Thread!

[Akasun]

We need a thread for talking about one of the best entertainment in... err.. the world? And it's movies! Talk about any movie's you've seen lately or one's that have already been shown, or even some that aren't released yet!

I'll start the topic, X-Men 3 will be coming out May, 26, 2006! And features fan favorites like Beast, Shadowcat and Arch Angel as supporting cast.

Can't wait to see that movie!

There's gonna be another Spiderman movie? I didn't even know that. So no, I don't know anything about Venom. :P Hope it's as good as the previous movies though.

 

[metalanime]

supposedly they are gonna be a few more. but after the next one it may be another director.

 

[Akasun]

Ah I see.

Yeah, for X-Men 3, there is a new director. And for the 5th Harry Potter movie, Order of the Phoenix, there is also going to be a different director.

 

[metalanime]

i heard there might be as many as 6 spiderman movies, and while i dont like spider man, venom kicks ass.

xmen 3 will hopefully be really good, looks good so far

From what I have heard, in the next Spider-Man movie we will have Venom and Sandman.

I really do hope Venom is in the next movie. He's pretty much one of the few things I like about Spiderman... :P

 

[Gold Knight]

Venom's one of the better designed villians in all of American comics, but the bad thing is he has a pretty lame rationale for how he does things.  Of course, not that psychos need MUCH rationale to do anything, but "I want to eat your brains" gets old after a while...

Though I'm sure Sam Raimi and his great group will still have good stories to tell about both villians in this movie.

I've always prefered carnage(visually that is)... not venom... but then again, my favorite color is red so that's probably why. They are both really evil especially carnage... *shivers*
as for beast, I've seen his make up and such... didn't look all that great, but then again it was just a little pic. I can't wait till it comes out

 

[Gold Knight]

Carnage had a killer design too. (Pun intended.)

But then again he WAS designed by Mark Bagley, one of the best Spider-Man artists ever.

Ya--- I really want to read all those stories... do you know of any place where one can read the stories as what happened in the comic x-men without having to hunt down all the comics? I really want to get read about x-men and how the story progressed and how it is now and all that. My favorite arc of x-men was the apocolypse arc. I love cable and bishop and wolverine and his wicked girlfriend .(gotta dig them asians ) But I only remember this stuff really because I watched the cartoon for quite a while . (is it different from the manga series...much?)

sorry for the off topic post... on topic, the spiderman movies have been good, just nothing Spectacular... I mean I liked them, but I'm not dieing to see it like I am xmen 3

Carnage and Venom are all cool... But who is sandman???

The cartoon is pretty different in that they tried to change the stories to make them less chronologically confusing, but they did keep most of the story intact. There's a lot more details and subplots in the comic series though. And I think there are places to download them, but I'd have to ask a friend about it.

I love both franchises. I thought Spider-Man was excellent, the first movie. And I thought X-Men was amazing given that Bryan Singer and his crew only had a very limited time to work on it. X-Men 2 took the franchise to another level. Just an incredible movie, with an amazing cast and so many good things going for it.

Spider-Man 2 I was not as crazy about except for Dr. Octopus - they made him a cooler character than in the comics! But I didn't care much for all the inner turmoil Peter had to go thru - it made for good humor in the beginning, but it dragged on a little too much. But it had a great climax. The conclusion could have been somewhat better.

He's an old Spider-Man villian - one of the first of his rogue gallery.

i'm not really a fan of marvel comics but I read them for pleasure when I've got nothing to read. Sometimes it's cool, also the movie rocks even if I'm not a big fan

 

[Gold Knight]

Marvel comics used to be better - which is a shame because with all the attention the movies bring to their trademark characters, they should have done a better job of finding all the best writers and artists and having them get to work on great stories. 

But Marvel's rival, DC, managed to sign most if not all of the writers and artists.  That was a shrewd business move on their part.

So right now, DC Comics are having better stories than Marvel in my opinion.  Oh well.

In the meanwhile I'll stick to reading manga and watching the movies

 

[bebong]

DC... Like batman, superman wonder woman, flash, green lantern... or simply... THE JUSTICE LEAGUE????

 

[Gold Knight]

Yes, that's DC

Heck, it's even rolling into movies too. Bryan Singer jumped from X-Men to do a new Superman movie, too.

 

[bebong]

Huh??? Really??
