BOF Posted February 19, 2016 Moderator Share Posted February 19, 2016 YIL (as opposed to TIL) that Deadpool is a superhero that regularly breaks the 4th wall. I'm not a superhero fan so I didn't know there was this renegade in that world. It's a cool idea though especially when used humourously, so it's not surprising that people have lapped up this novel approach. I'm even intrigued enough to give it a watch.

HanoiVillan Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The first one is good because it doesn't feature many of those things. The second and third ones can suck my balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) The Wolverine... What an appalling film, was very close to turning it off but had to see it through... Hugh Jackman is looking old in it as well..I know wolverine is a main stay of the franchise(X men), but surely they need to kill him off soon as I don't see anyone taking over Jackman, yet the movie franchise (X men)probably still has legs. Also didn't get the Jean Grey angle, yes I know wolverine loves her, but I don't remember them getting together in the films.

I admit, I might be a bit biased by the fact I MASSIVELY fancy Franka Potente and I remember how irked I was when she gets bumped off at the start of the second one. But it's not just that. I just didn't enjoy the frantic camerawork Greengrass did. The first movie kept things simple: my favourite scene is the car chase, which I maintain is one of the best car chases committed to film - literally nothing happens that couldn't happen (at a stretch) in real life. No explosions, no rocket launchers, just a well-filmed chase. Simple pleasures innit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Question for marvel fans. I've seen The first Thor film, can I watch Thor 2 and understand the story without watching avengers, and can I get avengers without seeing captain America?

villa4europe Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Yeah you'll be ok with Thor, there's a couple of bits that might not make much sense, a bit of Lokis story and the mention of New York but other than that you'll be fine Avengers 1 without CA again yeah probably, avengers 2 without CA 2 probably not, CA 2 without CA 1 is a no and IMO CA 2 is the best out of the lot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Deadpool looks so irritating that the trailer alone made me bash my head against the wall. I'm really looking forward to 'The Witch'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern about the new one, looking at the teaser trailer, shows a car chase through Vegas in an an armoured vehicle that looks like its taken straight off a MI movie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen The first Thor film, can I watch Thor 2 and understand the story without watching avengers, and can I get avengers without seeing captain America? Bits of Thor 2 don't make sense if you've not seen the Avengers, nothing in the main plot really but there's characters and references that you won't understand if you've not seen the Avengers. Cap 1 introduces the MacGuffin for the Avengers and helps explain Caps character, which is a running gag/theme of every film he appears in after, particularly providing a set up that is/will be very important in movies that follow, and various references in the later movies, some of which are fairly important. Nothing you can't pick up by reading a plot synopsis though. Saying that Cap 1 is good fun so worth watching, although it is the Marvel film that seems to divide people more than others - some think it's one of the best, some think it's one of the worst. Rule of thumb - everything post Avengers 1, watch the Avengers first. Of the entire run, the ones that you can skip (to date anyway, they may become more important as the movies go on) are the Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2. The Hulk is just a Hulk movie and so far the only tie in has been a single joke in the Avengers and a supporting character appearing again in Civil War. Iron Man 2 is pointless in the scale of the series besides introducing Black Widow, its only redeeming feature being some nice set pieces. Guardians of the Galaxy is currently skippable in the grand scheme of things but is brilliant and will be more important as Phase 3 goes on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) So I started with Captain America... Have to say not overly impressed... Just thought the technology the Americans had (obviously the Germans had the Tesseract where they got there weapons) was far too advanced for the time. As for the other films, love Guardians. Although it is a Marvel film, at the moment it is so far away from the other films that it doesn't seem to fit in the series and works well as a stand alone film. Questuon though, is the Tesseract one of the 6 things, similar to the orb in guardians? Edited February 20, 2016 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Yes, Thor has another couple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 1st avengers, a lot better... That's how a comic book film should be. Little bit boring in the middle, when Loki is inprisoned, but enough to get through. Heading into phase 2, again can I get through without watching iron man 3 (haven't seen all of 1 and none of 2) as not really a fan. I'm guessing I won't miss much from the storylines?

villa4europe Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 IMO yes, iron man 3 is ok, the trailer set it up that the 30 odd different suits rocked up at the end and to be fair that bit of the film worked but overall it's just ok, like chindie said IM2 is the series weakest point, RDJ is ok in avengers, got fairly high hopes for him in civil war but I did get the sense that he's not really in to iron man solo anymore Trying to think what there is from phase 2, CA2 is good it goes for like a political thriller, it's not a kids film that's for sure, ant man was surprisingly decent, Thor 2 was better than Thor 1 IMO but I'm still not sold on him, avengers 2 couldn't live up the hype, guardians was brilliant Iron man in my head is middle of the road, they don't know what to do with it, RDJ isn't interested, the villains aren't really there and I think to be fair to them marvel are trying to split the super hero genre in to different genres, like I said CA has gone like a thriller, ant man verged on comedy, avengers stuck to action, will be interesting to see how they do strange and black panther, if they could do a deadpool esque one to add to it then it'd be good but maybe that's what they've done with the Netflix stuff I don't write them off as shite superhero shite, they serve a purpose to cinema in general and I do get the impression they're trying, don't think I'll be saying the same about DC... I'm also interested with what they do with deadpool and Jessica Jones in civil war, at the moment I'm saying nothing but I'd love them to throw it in, try them too mikey, really good TV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
