Just as long as we don't get a Marvel version of Syriana I'm down with it.

I totally agree with the too many superhero movies thing.

I want more Transformers, Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean movies because they just kept getting better and better.

I'm all for them making a mediocre movie here and there. Maybe they'll get it out of their system on these B-level heroes and keep making the good movies good.

For me, Hollywood now only cares about super hero movies, raping our childhood memories and trying to beat some dead horses even more.

There is no really any room for creativity.
They even make movies about 2nd category super heroes
Birdman, Nightcrawler, Inherent Vice, Foxcatcher, Knight of Cups, The Hateful Eight, Chappie...

these are all pretty damn big releases

Meh, people in here are just whiney fucks who moan for the sale of moaning.

As long as you don't criticise Expendable 2&3 for being a ton of shit you're golden.

Besides Guardians of the Galaxy, who are these B level superheros? Ant Man is cool, I just with it was based off Pym.


Also there was what, 4 comic movies out of how many films this year? 3 of the 4 were the highest rated films of the year so why are people complaining about this?

People people need something to bitch about. It's like when critics on Rotten Tomatoes give them bad scores just to stand out. Attention.

That's false. They didn't start dicking with his idea, but if they were going to foot the bill or at least allow him the use of their character, they insisted that it fit into their pre established universe in some way or another. Wright wasn't willing to budge on that. He wanted the story to be singular and not to tie in at all with what Marvel has already been doing. They just wanted it to work so that they could use the character in future movies. That's the only thing that changed from how Write's script was done to how it is when we'll see the film.
The thing I've never understood is, if this is the case, how much would giving in to this demand have compromised his vision? Unless he was planning on killing everyone at the end of the movie, there shouldn't have been any problem with using the characters in future movies. Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter, and the Defenders Netflix stuff all exist (or will) within the MCU without being too closely tied to the Avengers, so why couldn't the first Ant-Man movie? I suppose we'll see when it comes out, but I suspect Marvel wanted a lot more changes to make there be a clear connection so Ant-Man could have a smoother transition into Infinity War.

Or, he really is that much of a control freak and if he couldn't do it exactly as he wanted, he left. There is some indication that this hypothesis might be just as likely as the other, but it is also likely we'll never know the exact chain of events, so let's just hope it turns out to be a good movie regardless.

I could see him just deing a prick about it, marvel seems to be pretty good about stuff and working with Weedon and other small directors like Gunn. Also how much does Kevin Feige have to say? that guy has been on a roll with the entire marvel line

every great director is a control freak, its not a bad thing at all. it means he has a direction, a vision and will stick to their guns at qll costs. if george lucas had cowtowed to the studio heads we would not have gotten the star wars we know and love today, same with spielberg and Jaws. when some suit with 0 fucking clue starts demanding changes from a project it cuts the director's balls off and changes what they were going for. some directors are completely in the pocket of the studio and make shit like amazing spiderman 1 and 2

But this isnt most studios, this is Marvel and Disney with Feige running the show for the most part. Lucus also didnt come up with that story it was someone elses idea and lucas directed only the first one. Spielberg is a good director not a good writer really

I can't imagine anyone who has watched movies with any sort of frequency over the past 20 years not knowing who Paul Rudd is. He's been in a lot of them, a few of them big (The 40-Year Old Virgin, Anchorman). I would say the same of television, but it's easier to miss out on an actor's television work with 200+ channels.

i know both those films but i dont them for the guy in the above picture. if you pointed a gun at my head and demanded me to identify that person i would be dead as shit.

you dont need to write a property to be passionate about it. cecil b demille might be one of the greatest directors of all time and and i am pretty sure he didnt write the ten commandments. i doubt few would cast a movie mobster like edward g robinson or a horror actor like vincent price as egyptians.

Well he did have a big 70's porn mustache in Anchorman so the shooter should give you a pass on that one. He was great in The 40-Year Old Virgin though.

Nothing, you shouldn't see it and you sure as shit shouldn't keep posting about it since you have absolutely zero interest in it in any way now. Hope you enjoyed the thread up until now, I assume we won't be seeing any more of you in it.
