JohnnyBlaze Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hope they don’t make David Harbor’s Red Guardian a comedic character. Hope they don’t do that with the movie either because they’d really be missing the mark with the tone of what it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Too many superhero movies!!!3 Marvel movies this year, 1 by Fox. Nothing by DC as far as I remember. And then there’s the Brightburn movie. Pick any other movie genre and there are way more releases. Edited December 3, 2019 by JohnnyBlaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS more horror than anything else. Oh yeah, DC had Joker. IMHO, the problem isn’t too many superhero movies, it’s too many CRAP superhero movies (and movies in general)! 2019 for me... Avengers Endgame : disappointed with many bits though there were some great momentsSpidey Far From Home : kind of annoying for the most partX-Men Dark Phoenix : absolute garbageJoker : great Brightburn : okay yet a bit too predictable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hope they don’t make David Harbor’s Red Guardian a comedic character. Hope they don’t do that with the movie either because they’d really be missing the mark with the tone of what it should be. Red Guardian looks like an easy target for some forced humor. We can count on some forced humor in the film. I’m on the fence with this film. I might go see it, but it looks like a very predictable plot. Lots of fighting, outrageous physical stunts, and close up shots on Johanssen, where she’s striking a pose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonally, the movie should be closer to Winter Soldier than anything else. No jokey characters in that even if there might’ve been a few funny lines somewhere. I’ll see this but the MCU has been letting me down more and more in the last few years. Edited December 4, 2019 by JohnnyBlaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall there has been too many of them over the last several years. The volume still doesn’t stack up to other genres. Someone not liking them is understandable. But 5-10 of them per year from Marvel, Fox, DC, and whoever combined isn’t that much really. An entire movie genre and there are maybe just 5-10 of them per year? That’s not much. Just thinking about Marvel Cinematic Universe, the most prolific, they’ve made 22 movies since 2008. How many cop movies have there been since then? Horror movies? Fantasy? etc Surely, tons more.

Well, the difference, for example, between the Joker and Aquaman movies is massive but virtually everyone would group them together. Marvel’s growing problem is that yeah, more of their movies ARE becoming too similar. Thor isn’t Iron Man but the more recent characterization of Thor is becoming more like Iron Man unfortunately with all the jokes and quips.

JohnnyBlaze Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Her and Jen Lawrence are the most overrated actresses alive. I’ve got no feeling about Johansson’s acting but yeah Lawrence is overrated. I’d even say she’s bad, particularly in the X-Men flicks. Which actresses are good to you then?

That was Averngers Endgame and I agree with your comments about it. Some good moments but basically I found it to be a bore. I almost nodded off to sleep on multiple occasions. Pity since the first part of it was good. The last superhero movie I really liked was Cap Marvel. Saw it a couple of times. Fact is, I would go further and say that it and Wonder Woman have been the 2 best Superhero movies (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t a big fan of the sex changing of characters and absolute retooling of them which went on. Didn’t feel much drama or dire situations in it. Wonder Woman was a very pleasant surprise. I watched it a couple of times and would check it again for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) I've watched the "Black Widow" official trailer, and I think it might not be a bad movie. With "Captain Marvel", and "Wonder Woman", I'll probably won't watch it in, and at the theatre. D.C., has "Shazam!", and "Joker", is a D.C. comic's character, but the movie is a standalone non-D.C.EU one. Dark House Comics, has "Hellboy", which is a reboot movie.

Stormtron Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Taskmaster looks like he's ready to go skiing. They should've taken notes from the PS4 Spider-Man game. He looked sweet in that. Not really stoked for this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really stoked for this one. Yeah, he looks like stinking Power Ranger! I didn’t even recognize him until the second viewing. And I’m not liking this first look at Red Guardian. The beard is fine but the fat and jokey bit is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Too many superhero movies!!! I can't keep track of them though I admit I don't try at all. A friend is trying to convince me to watch all the Marvel (Universe?) movies in some sort of sequence but it's too steep a hill to climb for me. I'm not into comics but to the extent I am I'm kind of a DC guy; Miller's Batman and Moore's Swamp Thing (and to a lesser extent Watchmen) are the only comics that really really grabbed me. I did watch and really enjoy the Guardians of the Galaxy movies though, but those didn't feature costumed superheroes that I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectorman Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) It looks potentially entertaining. It might have been better if Marvel had somehow managed to fit in a Black Widow film or two before we arrived at Endgame, rather than doing things out of sequence.
