There was that teasing on Twitter a few months back between Scott and Cargill that they were writing. Some folks thought they meant DS2. Who knows?

Yesterday I watched A:IW and I can't understand the appeal of these movies. Also, if you didn't follow the previous movies or read about the characters you wouldn't understand what it was about or who those characters are. The story is super bland, the villains look all horrid (evil=bad looking?). I really hope BC finish quicly his Marvel contract. thegww.com/marvel-studios-eyeing-june-production-start-in-the-uk-for-phase-four-movie/

Comic book movies aren’t my cup of tea either. I forced myself to watch one called Wintersoldier and it was mildly amusing but I can’t say that I liked a whole lot. I did like Doctor Strange but that could have been mainly about BC (although Scott D.’s directing was impressive). Dan is waaaaay less tolerant of them than I am so I think the only other one I will be able to drag him to again is probably the DS sequel.
Still I think they have their place and if being in a Marvel contract means BC has the funds to do SunnyMarch projects like TCiT and PM, well then I saylet the Marvel contracts continue! It is a fine line I suppose though. I wouldn’t want Marvel to monopolize all his time. But I think he is a smart enough actor to know the balance that must be maintained and I think he enjoys doing the Marvel stuff too.
:-))

I agreed with roverpup. He seems to be gaining more artistic freedom and taking more risks thanks in part to his contract with Marvel so it can’t be that bad (although I haven’t watched Infinity War! 😉) I personally liked Dr. Strange. It was visually beautiful. The others acclaimed Mavel movies I have seen looks like 90s TV productions. I’m sure the special effects are very expensive but somehow they always look cheap and the fights are awfully choreographed. That wasn’t the case with Dr. Strange. I also liked Guardians of the Galaxy. Both of them aren’t perfect but they are well made. I can’t understand why people love so much the first Avengers, for example, when it’s an ugly movie to look at and apart of a few good (TV) jokes there is nothing. There are a few rumors out there but they aren’t from trustworthy sources so we will see...

Ladies! Ladies! The hunk festivals that are superhero movies aren’t about anything than ogling handsome, buff men being angsty and beating up stuff. I hate all the punching, action scenes (I can’t see what’s happening the editing is so...random and I don’t like physical violence), and the plots are ridiculous, but, gosh the jokes are funny, the cgi is superb, and the men are so, so pretty. They’re popcorn movies for a reason. Reserve me a seat not too far back. 😏😉

Me neither! I’ve talked about this before - when I went to see it, my friend got there late and missed the first part. When she arrived, I whispered to her that she hadn’t missed anything. I know zero about these characters, but I have to say that it didn’t take long to catch up and learn who they were. They just wren’t particularly interesting to me. And I find action/fight scenes so boring! I can only tolerate these movies because of Benedict. If he absolutely must do another one of these, I hope it’s something special and worthy of his talent.
I still stand by my opinion that Guardians of the Galaxy was dreadful. I guess I’m not as charmed by Chris Pratt as everyone else seems to be. He’s a dim oaf playing a dim oaf - the only role he’s capable of, apparently. I can’t believe that people are so worried that the franchise might not continue!

I think the charm of the movie goes beyond than Chris Pratt. IMO what made it interesting was 1) a real life very dramatic and sentimental first scene with a young mother dying of cancer. That’s actually very Disney! and it helps to you immediately feel for the character and it gave another dimension to the bonkers plot that followed it; 2) the slightly edgier humor. All these movies are very PG-13 but this one felt slightly more left field without doubt thanks to the person behind the camera; 3) It really embraced the eccentricity of a comic book. It’s crazy but not to many comic book movies do and you can’t tell the person who made them doesn’t really love the source format because it. I don’t think it’s perfect. I remember I thought the ending was very corny! And I don’t like the special effects of these movies (with the exception of Doctor Strange). They are expensive but don’t look pretty at all! I also think Marvel fighting scenes are indeed ugly and you rarely can see what’s happening. That’s not the case with Dr. Strange which was influenced by marcial arts movies and they were much much better. I think Scott Derrickson was also a left field hire and he gave something extra to the material. He maybe is not that great with scripts but the visuals are in another level compared to the very simplistic Marvel movies.

I do wish the action movie directors would take a note from Jackie Chan. He always directed his fight sequences with such clarity and skill that there was no question what was happening. Sometimes CBM action scenes are just blurry, jumbled images with crunching noises.
