Jesus, when you actually take a second and look at next year you realize that it's going to be insane. Avengers, Spidey, Batman, and Superman all in the same year. I can't wait.

Jamesman posted:I can't wait for Avengers, but the other three I can't give a poo poo about. Marvel properties not handled by Marvel? Forget it. Another Batman movie after how much I hated The Dark Knight? Forget it. Superman? Forget it. Those movies have my four favorites of all time though. Captain America, Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman. That's my personal Mount Rushmore of superheroes. And to have them all be on the big screen in the same calendar year is going to be something amazing for me.

Strange Matter posted:I am having a hard time reconciling the images of the new Spider-Man costume. The High Res promotional shot in the OP looks fantastic, but every picture I see of it from the set is garbage. You're seeing pictures of stunt suits taken with none of the lighting, angles, and digital touch ups that you'll see in the movie. This is normal. Everyone was saying the same stuff about the Thor suit before real pictures came out.

Crim posted:I wanted to point out your Captain America Trailer links to a poster for Cowboys and Aliens. Also why is Mark Rufflo playing Bruce banner as opposed to Edward Norton? Ed Norton is expensive and apparently a pain in the rear end to work with. Mark Ruffalo is not really either of those things on top of being a good actor.

TheJoker138 posted:I think a Superman movie needs Lex. If not as the main villain, still as a supporting character. Also, an actual Superman/Lex fight could be good if they gave him some version of his battle suit. As a huge Superman fan I would definitely like to see Lex in the next Superman trilogy of films, but he'd be on the periphery throughout all the films. He'd never be the main villain. He'd always be around and be a facilitator, but he'd never be the big bad at the end of the day. My ideal trilogy would have Zod, Doomsday, and Darkseid as the main villains of each consecutive film. And have Superman 'die' at the end of the second movie stopping Doomsday. Then you have him come back during the next film to prevent Darkseid from taking over Earth. You could actually have Lex pretty well involved in all three of those movie without him being the top bad guy. But again, that's just what I'd personally like to see. I'd completely understand if other people don't feel the same.

Steve Yun posted:So kind of like Lex in Superman 2? Well, definitely not the tone of that character. I'd prefer him modeled a bit more after his animated counterpart in Superman The Animated Series and Justice League. And I think you could even adapt some of the elements in the last few episodes of Justice League for the last movie regarding him and Darkseid and Superman.

wordsauce posted:If they hadn't catastrophically miscast Lois Lane, Superman Returns would be a much stronger film. She was too young and not even remotely tenacious. All I can think of when I think of her is that scene where she drops her purse and is like, "Great!" It's awful. B. Routh was okay. They had no chemistry. Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane is one of the worst castings in any comic movie. In my opinion it's up there with Julian McMahon, Kirsten Dunst, George Clooney, and Halle Barry (Catwoman). It's just a horrible pick for the role.

I hate discussing almost anything about Batman with people. Which is strange because I love Batman and the Nolan Batman movies but I loving hate talking about them. It's the weirdest thing too because I actually have no idea why either. It's worse though with the comics, because anytime someone wants to bring up 'prep time' I just immediately want to punch them in the face. On a different note, I'm really loving all those recent pictures released for Captain America. I think if there's a Cap 2 they should definitely go the Winter Soldier route with it. The guy playing Bucky looks like he'd do great in the role.

Aces High posted:About all this reboot business, didn't they reveal that Spider-Man isn't going to be a straight reboot and it's going to be a lot similar to how they started The Spectacular Spider-Man? I also believe this is set in college years so no awkward teenager stuff, which is especially good since Garfield's almost 30 isn't he? There's really a number of contradictory statements that have been made about the movie. Including Avi Arad even saying that it wasn't a reboot at all and works in the framework of the originals. Which we know from other things we've learned is probably not possible. So until there's more info it's kind of hard to tell. In my opinion the best route would be to get away from the Raimi films as much as possible. The sooner I can forget about those movies the better.

Bozz posted:The Sam Raimi directed Spider-Man flicks are both commercial and critical successes, with the exception of part 3, which was still a commercial success. Part 1 - 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and $821 million gross, Part 2 - 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and $783 million gross, Part 3 - hard to defend but $890 million gross. My opinion of them is my opinion. And that is that they're not very good at all. The latest Transformers and Pirates of the Caribbean movies make a poo poo load of money too. Doesn't make them good either.

Bozz posted:But the point is that there is nothing so horrific about them that warrants having to get away from or forgetting them. Spider-Man 3, hard to defend. Overall, they're not Fantastic Four or Ghost Rider. What is so terrible about them that you're trying to forget it as soon as possible? Again, it's my opinion. I just don't like the films. I love Sam Raimi but I think he was the wrong fit for the movies from start. I think both of the leads are terribly cast. I loved the first movie when it came out because it was Spider-Man and it was live action on the big screen. After the initial 'wow factor' went away I began to realize it wasn't that great of a movie. The second is better, but marginally. And mostly because the villain was done very well. Much better than the title character. The less said about the third film the better. I never said they were at the level of Fantastic Four or Ghost Rider. They are better films than those. But I like them about as much as I like those (which is barely at all) because I like Spider-Man more than those characters so I expected more from a Spider-Man film. And I'm not bitter because they're not like the comics either. I don't want comic movies to be just like the comics. I already read most of those.

Bozz posted:I understand better what you didn't like about them now: Raimi, Maguire and Dunst. I think this is a more reasonable explanation and makes discussion easier. I've seen Webb's only other film. But that doesn't really leave me with any expectations. I feel the casting of the movie is much stronger in pretty much all areas. I think Garfield can make a much better Parker than Maguire. But a lot of that rests on the strength of the script as well. I'm just hoping that it's not darker. The thing about Parker is that he gets dumped on as Parker but it rarely ever really goes to dark places. And because he gets dumped on in his real life he uses the Spider-Man persona to escape from that and have fun and be the person that he very much wants to be without the mask. I hope that's what they try to capture because I feel that was very much missing from the previous movies. I also think they tried too hard to make the audience sympathize with some of the villains. Especially with Sandman. They tried to make them nice guys that just got mixed up in some bad stuff. That's one thing I do think they got right in the first movie. The just made Osborn a bad guy. Though with Lizard being the villain in this movie I think that may be the way to go again.

I think we all figured they'd be doing something with them in post? That looks loving great. I really can't wait for this movie. Hopefully they finally get Spidey right. Also here's picture from the set, probably of a stunt guy waiting to film a scene.  And here's a recent interview with the screenwriter where he confirms some stuff about the story of the film.

TheJoker138 posted:It looked awesome when we first saw it though, and it still looks awesome now. It reminds me a whole lot of Ben Reily's Spidey costume, and that's a good thing cause that costume loving rocked. I agree that Reilly suit was pretty great. But I'm thinking they took a lot more inspiration from one of the early suits in Spider-Man: With Great Power. Though I'm sure the story won't be similar at all.

Supreme Allah posted:There was another awesome Cap/Batman story, where they fought as Bruce Wayne/Steve Rogers; It was set in the 60s or 70s era. The JLA/Avengers fight cribbed a lot from it IMO - they basically started throwing punches and realized inside of ten seconds that neither guy was really going to win, and also that they were fighting Batman/Captain America respectively. Yeah, that was the Elseworlds story written by John Byrne. Good stuff.

Three Red Lights posted:I would acyually be fine with seeing the origin again if they cut out the wrestling bullshit. In the Ultimate version he still did the wrestling but the mugger came about a different way. Looks like Gwen is possibly working as a lab assistant or volunteer for Connors in this movie. Which tells me someone may have been watching Spectacular Spider-Man. Which is definitely a good thing. I liked the first person shot of Spidey as well. That should be fun in 3D. I wonder if the trailer will be in 3D in front of Cap, that would be pretty awesome.

DNS posted:The still that was released of Parker playing basketball actually made me think they could make him a rising streetball star instead of a wrestler. It works for the NYC setting and the mask could be part of his gimmick. Probably a corny idea, but it'd one way to modernize things. The basketball thing is straight out of Ultimate Spider-Man. And that's Flash Thompson in that picture as well. So it's probably from gym class. Or maybe he does join the team for a bit like in USM.

Bozz posted:Why So Serious? It's just a teaser. Since both the screenwriter and the director have said there's a lot of humor in the movie I think we'll probably be just fine. The biggest two problems with the Raimi movies were that they were too campy and goofy and that the leads weren't great. I think both of those things won't be a problem in this one.

I'm not actually convinced that the first person view will even be in the movie. And if it is I'm sure it won't be in for more than one or two short scenes. Webb has repeatedly said that he is doing almost all of the web swinging as practical shots and not as CGI.

It's just been announced that Zack Snyder's Man of Steel movie is being moved to June 2013. I think this is a great idea. Always felt like it should be a summer movie instead of a holiday one. Since they're doing a bit of revision on the script and since it hasn't started filming yet this is probably a good move.
