Yeah, I was thinking of d-list character, not d-list actor. Both good movies, though. Between Blade 2 and the two Hellboys, Guillermo del Toro's got a nice bit of good comic-book movie work under his belt.

I enjoyed Joe Kelly's writing on Deadpool and I think that's the image most people have of the character. Deadpool could be a great movie. Take Die Hard and start replacing characters with super-heroes and villains and there's a really fun Deadpool adventure. and get rid of Reynolds.

A lot of superhero movies would be improved by an approach like this, where they're a movie first (even a derivative one) and they contain characters with superpowers second. Particularly when you consider the extent to which action heroes are superheroes in all but name to start with. Wolverine's "it hurts every time" but he keeps going, from the first two X-Men, isn't that far from John McClane. They just justify his resiliency in the fiction. ZombieParts posted:and get rid of Reynolds. The only movie I can think of him adding something interesting to is Adventureland, which was able to subvert his bland handsomeness. He's an actor whose presence in a movie makes me significantly less interested in seeing it. I'd rather watch loving Channing Tatum, who at least has an interesting name.

He was good in Waiting. If you put that Ryan Reynolds in a Deadpool movie (instead of the more recent Ryan Reynolds rom com/lovely action flick) it would be good.

I think one viable way to do a Deadpool movie might be to go with the storyline that has been used before with him, where he's trying to be a superhero but fails miserably at it because he's insane. I really think a movie is viable if done properly. If it's done poorly it could be a disaster though.

Did really no one like Reynolds in Wolverine Origins at all? The whole elevator scene between Wade and Stryker was hilarious. I thought his delivery was great. edit: Didn't see the posts above me. I'm surprised for all the Reynolds hate. I don't think he's a bad actor he just picks some lovely movies sometimes.

I think most people's problem with him is that he is always being suggested as perfect for a role. Not quite as often as Nathan Filllion is suggested for a role, but he is getting there.

Well he also really wants to be him, and he does namedrop the character somewhat frequently. It seems like he might do it because he's probably one of the few people in Hollywood who wants to do a Deadpool movie, let alone play him. That probably swings a bunch of people his way as the actor of choice for Deadpool, as he's most likely to understand the character.

From the second German Avengers trailer Tony: (To Dr. Banner) I promise a stress-free environment. No surprises. Tony: (Prods Dr. Banner in the ribs with a pen/screwdriver/pointy thing  )Dr. Banner: Oooww! Steve: Hey! Tony: You really got that under control don't you? What's your secret? Relaxing Jazz? Bongo music? Steve: Is everything a joke to you? Tony: It is if it's funny.  ed: Japanese trailer has Pepper, a few smidgens more of footage: http://special.movies.yahoo.co.jp/d...20120315076798/ lt_kennedy fucked around with this message at Mar 15, 2012 around 03:39 |

Geekboy posted:With that in mind, I just don't see who the market for a Deadpool movie would be. If the mainstream public was ready for a self-aware comic book parody then Watchmen, Scott Pilgrim and Super probably would have done better. I just don't see how you can convince the general public to see a movie about a character they've never heard of who balances humor and mental illness. Maybe you could get some traction selling it as "the world's first schizophrenic super-hero," but that's an awfully tough sell and would appeal to a mostly niche market. I thought Watchman was successful, or at least as successful as a three hour Hard-R comic book movie with male full frontal could be. That's why Zack Snyder had free reign with Sucker Punch and why they gave him Superman? Also, Kick-rear end was prett successful too, so I think there is a market for comic book movies that are also commentary on comic books, at least as long as they have gratuitous violence. Although whoever said Captain America was as much of a niche character before his movie as Deadpool is right now is just wrong. Captain America might not be Batman or Spider-Man, but there were news stories when they (temporarily) killed him off. I bet your parents knew who he was before the movie and I doubt they know who Deadpool is.

A new Japanese Trailer for The Avengers just got released. There is a load of new footage I haven't seen from the other trailers. Probably just finished up the CGI or something. It might be the editing, or maybe the cool Japanese guy hyping up the movie, but this trailer has gotten me a lot more excited. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=88022 fake edit: I tried looking for a non-embedded trailer, this is all I could find, not the best quality: http://youtu.be/KrCDmxER-vs

I finally figured out the other reason why this movie looks so lovely and "television" from the trailers. There's no motion anywhere outside of the objects in focus. The best looking scene is the ship rising from the water because the surrounding water is in motion; everything else, it's just people moving and nothing in the background having any motion at all (moving images on monitors, extra direction in the background as people are talking, etc.). It makes everything look dull and unpopulated.

There seems to be plenty going on in the background, except for maybe when theyre in the forest. Alone. In a forest. Or a warehouse. Or a kitchen. It looks about as cinematic as Iron Man, I don't get all the complaints about the look of the movie when it seems pretty on par with the other marvel properties. Maybe people need to see the hulk shed a tear to the tune of O Fortuna while he watches the flowers around him die and go into a rage for people to start calling it cinematic genius.

I have, however seen the rest of the Marvel movies. They're all mediocre. Sorry that upsets you, but they are. Iron Man is still the best of them and it's almost entirely because Robert Downey Jr. is just so awesome. It still isn't a great film in a lot of ways, but his charm pulls you along. He's the best special effect I've seen so far in The Avengers, too.

Do we really expect comic book movies to be A++ classics. The only franchise that has gotten close to this is Batman. They are summer popcorn flicks. I think they are fun, even if they are just so-so with some fun inside. They are the candy bars of movies.

Who will save us from the greatest villain of all: Not-Shakespeare, the dastardly evildoer responsible for crap films and the indifferent acceptance of them. When asked who is responsible for the catastrophic inanity of Hulk 2, a cretin in a Firefly shirt frowns and replies "it's Not Shakespeare, you know." There are classic comic-book films. Specifically, Superman 1 and the Tim Burton Batmen (especially Returns). I'll toss Darkman in there, because why not? More recently: Watchmen, Hellboy 2, Hulk, Ghost Rider 2, Superman Returns and Kick-rear end are impeccably made and clearly about more than just passive spectacle despite shallow criticisms of them. They're highly cinematic. Hancock and Chronicle are both scrappy but highly effective, without being based on any established franchise. No Marvel film is better than X-Men First Class, as that one surpasses them in its intellectual ambition that survived its rushed and sketchy execution.
