This thread is for discussion of all comic-based movie releases. DC, Marvel, what have you. Even things like Persepolis. You totally forgot about it, did you?  As with the last thread, everything is in order by release date and I’ll be rotating it as things come and go. Bullet to the Head February 1st, 2013  -Based off a French comic, Wikipedia posted:A hitman teams with a young Washington DC detective in a high-stakes investigation that leads from dingy back alleys all the way to the power corridors of New Orleans. The unlikely duo, brought together by two vicious murders, take on all who stand in their way, willing to sacrifice everything to exact revenge. Director: Walter Hill
Trailer Iron Man 3 May 3, 2013  -The old cast from the first 2 return with Shane Black directing. The story is based off the “Extremis” story-line, where after a rash of deaths involving a nanotech “virus” (another super-soldier serum attempt), Tony is called in to help. Ben Kingsly serves as the villain behind an organization known as the “Ten Rings”, who have been in the previous 2 films supplying Vanko with what he needs to make his harness in Iron Man 2, and as the money behind the terrorists who attacked Stark in Iron Man 1. Shane Black said it’s less “two men in iron suits fighting”, and more “Tom Clancy thriller”. There’s also 0 focus on the rest of the Avengers crew, they may only get mentioned in passing but ultimately it’s an Iron Man (& friends) only show. Director: Shane Black
First trailer GI Joe: Retaliation March 29, 2013  As Cobra Commander takes over America and frames the GI Joes for a crime they didn’t commit, as well as killing many of them, a small band of survivors work to save the world from Cobra conquest. Dwytne Johnson, a returning Channing Tatum and Ray Park, and Adrianne Palicki serve as the remains of GI Joe, as well as Bruce Willis who joins up as the Original G.I. Joe. Arnold Vosloo plays Zartan, masqurading as the President serving Cobra Commander. The movie was pushed back 9 months to allow them to expand Tatum’s role. Director: Jon M. Chu
trailer Oblivion April 12th, 2013  Based on a graphic novel by Tron 2 director Joseph Kosinski, who is also directing this film. Wikipedia posted:2073, Commander Jack Harper is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on an Earth destroyed by an alien invasion 60 years ago. [...] Currently living in huge airborne towns built in the skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence came crashing down when he rescues a female stranger from a downed spacecraft. Director: Joseph Kosinski
Trailer Man of Steel June 14, 2013  -Henry Cavill is Superman! Zac Snyder is directing, while Nolan is producing. The story is, as most first superhero movies go, about his origin. The upside for most is that it seems to be examining it in a more modern light, as shown in the trailer with Clark’s father, played by Kevin Costner, says perhaps sacrifices are needed to keep Clark safe. We’ll get to see what makes Clark decide he has to be Superman, as he dukes it out with General Zod, another Kryptonian come to Earth. Director: Zac Snyder
first trailer Kick-rear end 2 June 28th, 2013 -Following the first movie, Kick-rear end inspires more people to become superheroes, but Red Mist seeks revenge by leading a team of supervillains against them. Jeff Wadlow is writing and directing. Director: Jeff Wadlow
R.I.P.D July 19, 2013 -Nick Walker is a recently slain police officer who joins a team of dead police officers working for the RIPD, and attempting to solve his murder. Directed by Robert Schwentke, there really isn’t much to say on this. Director: Robert Schwentke
The Wolverine July 26, 2013US  -The Wolverine follows Logan as he heads to Japan. Based on an acclaimed mini-series, Jackman pushed hard for them to go with it and also handpicked the direct, James Mangold. Chances are that it might actually be an ok movie. Director: James Mangold
RED 2 August 2nd, 2013  "Frank Moses and his motley crew of retired assassins return for a second outing." That's all I could find about the plot. If you've seen the first, it's probably more of that. Director: Dean Parisot
300: Rise of an Empire August 2nd, 2013 The Greek general Themistocles battles an invading army of Persians under the command of Xerxes, King of the Persians. Director: Noam Murro
2 Guns August 16, 2013 An elaborate scam has a DEA agent and a Naval Intelligence Officer investigating one another in belief they are stealing money from the mob. Director: Baltasar Kormákur
I, Frankenstein September 13th, 2013 Frankenstein's monster, taking the name Adam Frankenstein, becomes involved in a war between two immortal clans. Director: Stuart Beattie

Armani posted:Speed Racer, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Cowboys Versus Aliens, and Dredd! Speed Racer isn't a comic movie, it's the same reason Pacific Rim isn't listed. I pulled the ones I listed from discussions from the previous thread about the history of comic book movies. Except Persepolis which I picked for it's uniqueness set against every else listed in the OP; It's a foreign animated autobiography. Not to say I would shoot down any film people would want listed in the OP, discussion of past comic movies is what I was hoping to encourage.

Presumably the role is for Sharon Carter who is a SHEILD agent in the comics, which is double bad because she's supposed to be sort of action-y. Hopefully the director and the fact it's a different order than being on a tv drama might get her to act/emote? Emilia Clarke or Alison Brie would have been really fun though.

It would make for a spectacularly nonsensical movie too, considering they're sort of set Banner up as not being as out-of-control as Hulk was in the comics when they decided to launch him into space. I mean it's feasible they work around it and just get him off-planet some other way, but then you can't really do World War Hulk because, why come back to harass Earth if it wasn't anyone's fault? Also, last I heard they were going to do World War Hulk as an animated DTV movie, but I haven't heard anything on the Marvel DTV front in a long while.

teagone posted:I'm amused that some people think this notion of revealing Bane's actions were a result of his absolute/unconditional loyalty and love to Talia turns the him into a lowly henchmen or lapdog and that everything he did was undercut as a result. It really doesn't. That's like saying everything Darth Vader did in the original Star Wars trilogy didn't mean poo poo because it was at the bidding of the emperor. I think the thing that does undercut it though is that it's a last-second reveal. "Oh, you thought I was in charge? NOPE!" I mean, I'm not sure how you'd craft it well around what's already a dense story, but just some sort of hint at the fact he's second-in-command might help. You right that it doesn't really make Bane himself less of a character. But I think ultimately the density of the story is what really brings it down. But on a less well-trodden note, I rewatched Sin City the other day, and it's as good as the first time I watched it. I'm hoping Sin City 2 does right by it.

Gotta say, I like it more than the main one. And while it's kind of a bummer with X-men, at the same time maybe they'll be doing something awesome with the story. On another note I finally saw Dredd. Really cool, and terrible there's not going to be a sequel.

I dig the new poster for IM3, and I assume all the other Iron dudes are part of all the armors he worked on since The Avengers. And while it would stink if it was all "dark" and "gritty" like the last Batman, I doubt they'd do that. But it does seem they're trying to sell a sadder, more alone Stark. Which I mean if you consider the fact in the Marvel U he's pretty much billed the smartest guy on the planet, it seems like when he popped into space to save everyone actually facing the idea of alien life freaked him out. Especially since they have fancier toys than him. Chris Cooper just got cast as Norman Osborn. I'm hoping like Garfield, Cooper satisfies me more than Dafoe did. Though I don't know if I want him to actually act the part, or just be the bad guy from The Muppets again, only fighting Spider-man.

They've also posted an interview with RDJ regarding playing Tony Stark for a 4th time, and Shane Black and Kevin Feige also did an interview. It's got minor spoilers, but I think it's pretty cool that The Mandarin is aparently a media-savvy supervillain terrorist.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I'm about to drop another one on ya - try to watch Iron Man 1 now. It does not hold up. It surprises me that people hold it in such a higher regard to IM2. Tony gets kidnapped, escapes, a lot of nothing involving building a suit happens, and then Jeff Bridges decides to tell Stark he's hated him this entire time. It's a gently caress-load of fun, but IM2 has more meat to it's story. Even if there's a big stinky wedge of SHIELD in it.

degauss posted:Has anyone else here seen the Item 47 Marvel One-Shot? Back when Agents of SHIELD (no, gently caress you, I'm not putting in all those dots) was first announced, I really assumed it was going to be about Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford's characters from that. Which I would be stoked about, I will watch anything with Lizzy Caplan and anything Marvel. I would double watch it. I swear I thought that they were going to originally be in it. Aside from the public revelation of superheroes, you also have alien tech scattered about for any 2 bit crook to pick up and become Paste Pot Pete, which is another thing the short was supposed to set up. I am sort of hoping the show will be willing to at least occasionally run with the insane idea of super villains with terrible gimmicks. But maybe it's just me who wants to see a bunch of fairly serious agents fight some jackass wielding remote controlled boomerangs. Because as eye-rolling inducing as that idea is, there are actual people kicking around in the world who'd think that'd be a great idea.

If they were ice cream, Dark Knight would be a deliciously amazing fancy artisan ice cream. Avengers would be tasty soft-serve with everything you love on it. Dark Knight is a richer experience, Avengers is a blast and isn't any less of a movie for it. Ultimately, both films encapsulate well what their comic counterparts feel like. Avengers has more levity, Dark Knight runs a bit cooler. Of course if you really don't actually WANT to see either of them, then don't. But from the sound of things you might prefer Dark Knight, since it'll run closer to what Superman looks like it'll be.

Meowbot posted:I haven't seen any of the Marvel movies except for the Hulk, and Iron Man so I don't know if I should watch Thor first or any of the other ones? Honestly, my boss always talks like Bane and I don't "get it" whereas everyone else laughs, so maybe I should just watch Batman. Man, I don't think it's going to get any funnier if you watch it. Here I though you were talking about just the Dark Knight, if you're talking about Rises it's good, but not the best. Then I'd just straight-up recommend Avengers over it because you're not getting anything different that the first two didn't give you, except the conclusion to Nolan's Batman story. BrianWilly posted:I'd say Iron Man 2 and Incredible Hulk are all but completely unnecessary in order to watch Avengers. And of the three remaining, Captain America is the least necessary. I like the Marvel movies, and I'd say if you have a basic understand of everyone's origins (and know that Loki appeared to die at the end of Thor [but really you know he didn't]), or even if you don't, you can just go right to the Avengers if you don't actually WANT to see any of the other movies. jivjov is right though, they at least can be fun.

I still don't get how "Howard Stark turns out to be a prick" would somehow make the movie better. But then I find Iron Man 2 to have the best villains who get to be the least menacing. Honestly the Shield stuff would have been better as a big end-credits too, but I guess they needed something to go from "Rhodey crashes Tony's dangerous party" to "Tony saves himself from dying"

ShakeZula posted:Well for one thing it would really strengthen Vanko as a villain. As it stands, his motivation is vengeance for crimes committed against his father by Howard Stark, but we learn that those crimes were never committed and it was in fact Vanko's father who was the criminal while Howard was the victim. That can work fine, except Vanko himself is never confronted with the truth before Tony kills him. There is a way to make great drama out of either Tony or Vanko being deceived by their fathers about their legacy, but instead they went with a less effective half-measure. It's the second I read this it clicked. Vanko picks a fight with Tony, and instead of murdering the guy Tony reaching out to him would probably be a better ending to the whole thing.

Darko posted:No one in Avengers acted anything like they did in their own movies except perhaps Tony Stark. It's weird you say that because on the one hand you have a bit of a point, and on the other, this is post all the other movies. Thor's not reckless and mystified by the human world because he's been there before and he's been tasked by Odin to get Loki, which is probably the first job he's been given since Odin cast him out. Cap's had decades pass since he was last conscious. And, well, "I can't control becoming the Hulk!", aside from being reigned in at the end of his last movie, isn't always that interesting of a beat. Especially if that was really the entirety of the previous movie. The Hulk I feel might be a bit of a stretch, but I'd like to think I'm not reaching with the other two. On a different note, I sort of just realized Cap doesn't always seem to be brimming with confidence, while his comic counterpart seems to be overflowing with it. I'm sort of hoping it's something they address in Cap 2, so that when Avengers 2 comes around he'll solidly be that commanding voice like he was at the tail-end of Avengers. It clicked really well with me, especially after his character seemed to intentionally be riding back seat to everyone throughout.

It strikes me as funny that for all the past Marvel movies people have complained about the themes being way too weak, and we finally get a movie where the themes are still pretty strong (but not so blatant as to be insulting) and people still don't see it. One of the major arcs, which is a thread it picks up from the Avengers, is that Tony doesn't really NEED the armor, it's a crutch, to the point making new armors was all he was doing in 3 because of what happened in the Avengers. He didn't feel like Tony was enough, he had to be Iron Man or what good was he? 3 is him letting that go.

Myrddin_Emrys posted:This would not be a good choice for Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne should not be played by pretty boys, but by rugged men I feel. Nothing about Bruce Wayne outside of Dark Knight Returns says "rugged" to me. He's a rich playboy, totally the pretty boy type. Hell, none of the actors who've played him qualify as "rugged". I'd think Ackles would actually be a pretty good Batman. On Supenatural he does play "unlikable but likeable" well, and I think that fits Batman and Bruce. All he'd have to do is not play Batman as cocky.

Is it just something against big purple things that make filmmakers go "change it to something dumb" (see: Galactus) I can understand why they'd change it. The comic sentinels can veer a little towards the Iron Man design. on the up side, at least they didn't go with the anime mech design they had a couple years back.

LtKenFrankenstein posted:Yeah, my favorite part of the first one (really, one of the only things I liked about it) was how colorful and eye-popping the Asgard scenes were. This one looks really drab and grey by comparison. A lot of the shots in the trailer seem to take place in the Asgardian jail, London, and the titular dark world of the dark elves. It doesn't seem too far fetched that those would look different than pretty pretty Asgard. The worst we'll get is a great looking movie that's otherwise pretty okay. I'm excited because it looks like everyone else will get a bit more time to shine.

I guess I'm weird because I'd rather see them deal with trolls and dwarves.

"Drab and grey" and "dull as dishwater" sort of have different connotations for me. I don't think it looks dull, muted yes, but not dull.

If I recall right, that was actually what Wright talked about when it was first announced a couple years back. He said it wouldn't be terribly expensive, which I think was a big point at the time for Marvel to say "sure, go ahead!" since this was before they had that sweet sweet Disney money. Checking, Scott Pilgrim was his most expensive movie at $90 million, while the cheapest Marvel movies are $140 million, which are Thor and Captain America.

quote:Ominously The Avengers can be seen as ideologically not just glorifying existing U.S. wars but helping to prepare the country for the next World War. Right, I stopped reading after this. It set off the same thing in my head that gets me to stop reading articles about Lady Gaga working for the Illuminati or the government doing 9/11. I like the Avengers but I do think it's beyond Whedon to suddenly and inexplicably cram in pro-military pro-war don't-question-authority themes that he's never given any indication of believing in before.

ImpAtom posted:Hank Pym is kind of bad at everything. Where most men would say "Why?" Hank Pym asks "Why not?" (the answer is because it will inevitably want to murder you) jscolon2.0 posted:My guess is like Loki having the Mind Gem, Ultron will also have one of the Infinity Gems, and it's to further setup Avengers 3. I'm hoping then that instead of Stark "making" Ultron, someone just jacks one of his suits and crams the red power gem in there. Then I also hope it means they'll pull the trigger on a Dr. Strange movie, just so we can watch him get the SS mantel and the soul gem, then have it snatched away at the start of A3.

Colonel Whitey posted:Remember when everyone said Iron Man was boring and wondered why they were making a movie about him? The source material quality is not really an indicator of the finished movie product. Not only that, it's someone who makes pretty good movies who went to Marvel and said "Hey, can I make an Ant-Man movie for you guys? That sounds like fun!" And if Scott Pilgrim is the worst he can do, we're going to have at least a good movie on our hands.

Rhyno posted:But it's not H4H, they say Cage and IF get their own shows and then it's a Defenders mini at the end. Which means we're getting Dr. Strange one way or another! I'm super excited for this whole thing! And it would be amazing if it lead to a Heroes for Hire show.
