Did the Guardians of the Galaxy have a fanbase pre-movie? The MCU is kinda famous for launching with all the (formally) trash-tier stuff like Iron Man, etc.., because all the stuff with an actual fanbase (at the time) like X-Men or Spiderman had been contracted out for moneys.

The bombs fit fine with the way space ship combat always worked and still works in star wars, which is mostly early 20th century aerial dog fights over big naval ships (i.e. Star Wars big ships). The bombs are no more or less "realistic" than any given X-Wing turn or TIE-Fighter "screaming"...

So did Bale film this pre-Vice or post-Vice? Lol

Well, Cameron did the "this is the true sequel to T2"-thing before. He's more than happy to take a suitcase of money to talk up a some random Terminator sequel. Doesn't mean shit, IMO.

Yeah, Pattinson did good work. And Twilight certainly would look like a golden ticket for a young actor before the actual movies were made (and in some ways it was .. they were insanely successful). Can't be worse than fat Affleck.

The idea of a "superhero" is by definiton a bad set-up for good storytelling in a classical sense. You want the protagonist or "hero" to be the underdog. The pot-bellied hobbit among legendary swordsmen. The fringe-of-the-galaxy farmboy. Etc.. Having the main guy (or girl) be imbued with more...

Sure. And so could've Tony Stark's Mary-Sue-Nano-I-make-whatever-I-need-armour which did just fine in Infinity War ... not to mention the convenient "steal-power-stones" gauntlet. There's plenty of shit like that in the MCU and always was, years before Captain Marvel ever appeared. The logic...

Well, there're a few of those. Tony Stark calls Thor "Lebowski", despite MCU Jeff Bridges being Obidiah Stane (or did Obidiah Stane play the Big Lebowski in the MCU?) Even before Endgame, in Spiderman Homecoming/Civil War, they made lots of Star Wars jokes and product placement (this being...

Clearly it was live action Mickey Mouse.

Sure. Predestination is great. The original story even more so. But it kinda relies on the entire thing being a closed loop. You get around most time travel issues if nothing actually changes. Stuff like Twelve Monkeys goes down the same path in a way. But that doesn't make for much of a super...

Well, the time travel ultimately will and won't ever hold up to super-critical analysis. There're movies (books, comics, etc..) that put a lot more effort into making it makes sense and still failed, and in Endgame, they essentially just threw just enough time-techno-babble at the screen to...

Still would've loved to see the Cap's awkward conversation with Red Skull as he returns the soul stone ...

Nah. Dr. Strange just had to watch the Rat Mickey Mouse miss the button in the Ant Man Truck 14 Million times. The rest was pretty much good to go ...

Looks good. Seems like they keep nailing it as long as it isn't a prequel. Was afraid the trilogy would catch the Solo/Rogue One shit-virus, but this looks fun.

If it makes Netflix rethink their pricing, I'm all for it.

Well, cast clearly should've done more smiling. Pretty atrocious acting throughout. Not a single smile! Not Downey Jr. Not Evans. Not Ruffalo. Not Renner. Not SLJ. Nothing... How could anyone possibly relate to these pretentious cardboard actors as "heroes". Atrocious.

Pretty sure Disney want's to get their spandex heroes team-up movie out of the way first. They might actually drop a teaser/trailer with Avengers, perhaps. It'd make some sense from a marketing perspective.

But if you truly stand absolutely motionless, nobody will see you, just like you didn't see Drax standing perfectly still in that trailer.

Movie was good. It's no Iron Man 3, but clearly the solo movies like Black Panther and Captain Marvel are still Marvel's strength. Wish they'd drop the bloated, pretentious team-up movies like Infinity War and explore the character more in their own lines. Too bad they put themselves into a...

Title: The Kid Tagline: It only matters the story they tell when you're gone. Genre: Western Director: Vincent D'Onofrio Cast: Dane DeHaan, Vincent D'Onofrio, Chris Pratt, Adam Baldwin, Keith Jardine, Tait Fletcher, Ethan Hawke, Leila George, Jenny Gabrielle, Jake Schur Release...

Well, sure. Still, take a time machine back some 10 years and tell your younger self a full-fledged Justice League movie would end up behind a Dr. Strange movie and barely get to half of sequels (!) to utter Z-tier comic books like Guardians of the Galaxy! They've got some ground to recover.

Title: Brexit (2019) Genre: History, TV Movie, Drama Director: Toby Haynes Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Oliver Maltman, Ian Morine, Gavin Spokes Release: 2019-01-19 Plot: Strategist Dominic Cummings leads a campaign to convince British voters to leave the European Union.

They don't need Captain Marvel to take down Thanos ...

Was a good movie. Rami was fantastic. They did take a lot of liberties with the story, timing of events, etc.. and clearly skewed it in favour of the non-Freddy band members. The entire Freddy-leaves-Queen, gets-lost-in-the-dark, redemption-at-live-aid arc is pretty questionable. Clearly it...

Not even sure the hair would need to be quite as long. Some things can be tweaked in translation to live action to capture the idea without mimicking every detail, no? Like the Anson Mount thing floating about. He"d look pretty good already without any make up to start with.

Yeah. And when Harrison Ford (rarely) talked about Star Wars, he usually said Han Solo should've died in the original trilogy already, probably already in Empire. He considered the character's arc essentially done with the end of the original Star Wars. Pretty likely, killing Han was a clause...

Pretty sure they'll pull the plug on all of them, now that Disney's launching their own streaming thing to compete with Netflix. LC and IF just weren't far into production and presumably not the top performers. Still doubt Daredevil, Punisher, etc.. will go far beyond what's been announced...

Could be worse. Still, after the money IT made, reviving (no pun intended) all the ol' Stephen King stuff is gonna be popular for a few years, I suppose.

Kinda jumped the shark.

Title: Vice (2018) Genre: Drama, History Director: Adam McKay Cast: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Sam Rockwell, Steve Carell, Don McManus, Alison Pill, Tyler Perry, Kirk Bovill, LisaGay Hamilton, Bill Pullman, Lily Rabe, Stefania LaVie Owen, Shea Whigham, Adam Bartley, Fay Masterson...

Not drama, just curiosity why nobody cared about it in other superhero movies Be consistent.

Comic book films peaked with Iron Man 3. It's been going down for a while.
