Probably one of the best Marvel movies I've seen. It's definitely in my top 5 of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. It'll be cool to see how they use him in other MCU movies too. He easily fits in with the other characters. Especially in the "world" of Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 The Martian. Utah never looked so red Turns out those scenes were filmed in Hungary and Jordan according to IMDB. No Utah but Houston and Cal Tech were the locations for US scenes though. Utah is quite red in 127 Hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most was CGI I think. I haven't watched the extras disc yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Loved it. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one. Any problems with any of the characterizations? I liked the first one BUT I had an issue with how different Yondu was from the comic. I wanted Yondu but I got Merle Dixon. WTF?! It doesn't start here until Friday. Mantis is flying around with Ego is this...that was kind of weird. Her is a bit off too. Those are very minor to me though. Yondu is the big one, but I actually like blue Merle. And at least he has his fin in this. The Yondu thing in part 1 bothered me enough to the point where I couldn't grade it an "A-" or higher. It'd get a B+ because everything else was a lot of fun. Plus, Yondu needed his bow! What the hell?! Yondu without a bow is on par with Hawkeye without a bow or Captain America without a shield! Ok, I just finished GotG part 2. It was entertaining but I definitely liked the first one much more. I had quite a bit of character gripes... - plastic looking, attachable dorsal fin?!! - THAT was Mantis?! Some other character gripes that belong as spoilers... The original Guardians of the Galaxy in... Stallone as Starhawk?!! And with a gun?!! Dumb. What was all that crap connecting them to the Ravagers about code and bla bla bla?!http://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Starhawk-Marvel-Comics-Guardians-Galaxy-Stakar-e.jpg Ving Rhames as Charlie 27 I guess is plausible, bulk wise anyway.http://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/3e/b6/8d/3eb68d1ef395d98902240bb2ceb3be45.jpg Martinex looked like shit. http://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/dd/c8/25/ddc825bd2883e749d68bdda2418743df.jpg Oh, and I'm still disappointed that they completely missed the chance to have Yondu with his bow. What a waste. http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel//universe3zx/images/f/fc/Yondu_3.JPG And since they were sliding in the original Guardians with Starhawk, Martinex, Charlie-27 + (Michelle Yeoh as Aleta), where the hell was Vance Astro?! Come on! He MADE the team. I can't see how the writers side stepped that whole comic history...especially since the MCU prides itself on being faithful to the comics. IF Sly was going to be ANY Guardian he SHOULD'VE been Vance.http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel//universe3zx/images/3/38/Gotg_main.JPG What else? Song selection was decent again but I think they were going a little overboard with it. Still, some of the jokes & sentiments were well played and the eye candy was popping. The plus side for non-comic readers is that my gripes would mean nothing when watching. BUT if you are a fan of the comics, surely some of them must bother you like they do me. Of all the MCU movies this one took the most liberties with the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear I read something about the actors training at the Mars trading centre which is in Utah, but no filming there. What if we get to Mars and it doesn't look like Jordan?

EagleMoon Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Prometheus. I wanted to rewatch this before the new Alien movie comes out. Wasn't as bad as I remembered. It's a better movie if you don't think of it as an Alien movie but is just a sci-fi horror flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 http://68.media.tumblr.com/023cf26da05cd6f1d85ed9c54b3278e1/tumblr_inline_mknbhw8coe1qz4rgp.jpgOne of Christopher Nolan's first films. Released in '98, "Following" preceded Memento and you can tell it's trying to evolve into that much greater movie. Still, this is a decent psychological mystery that does a lot for a movie filmed on a paltry $6,000 budget. Grade: B- http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CHGo2F5X-lo/VFkcdcxMqbI/AAAAAAABu-Y/dqjeTSgyaNg/s1600/00%2BResurrecting%2BThe%2BChamp%2B(2007).jpgA prett much run of the mill sports story that gets boosted up a little by Sam Jackson's performance as a homeless man who claims he's former pro heavyweight boxer Bob Satterfield.

It's a better movie if you don't think of it as an Alien movie but is just a sci-fi horror flick. It's better than 3 and 4 but not the greatness I was hoping for with the first two especially since Ridley returned. I hear Covenant is much better, though. 74 percent on RT so I'm more optimistic. I'll see it next week instead of waiting until it hits HBO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm watching it now on TV Here's some info about it: Dracula does not speak in the film, save for a few hisses. According to Christopher Lee: "I didn’t speak in that picture. The reason was very simple. I read the script and saw the dialogue! I said to Hammer, if you think I’m going to say any of these lines, you’re very much mistaken." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
