Pretty fun movie, plenty of charm, I do dig it. Didn't love it though, maybe my 5th favorite Marvel movie so far. I do like most of them though so it's not that bad of a ranking. I don't really think it's a heist movie. Terminator 2 is as much of a heist movie. In that they want to break into a place to get a thing. Ditto for this. Other than the brief robbing of the house early in the film, it's just your standard action comedy. There's a big training montage and then they infiltrate the enemy place to get a thing etc. That makes it a heist movie? Fast 5 , that I can see being called a heist movie. They spend the majority of the movie planning this big elaborate robbery, and then they do it, and it's big involved process. Plus, their goal is to get tons of money for their own gain. Enjoyable movie, just not very different from the Marvel mold so far. It is a superhero movie. Iron Man takes out a few more people but this is in a very similar mold to that film. Plus, Iron Man was also notably comedic. RDJ got more laughs out of me than Rudd here, and I'm a fan of Rudd. Darth Brooks posted:I thought it was a fun little movie. It wasn't an EVENT like the Avengers or Batman/Superman/Spider-Man. Marvel movies are best when the stakes are personal, not world sized. I would expect that if there's a second movie that they would find a way to bring back his wife. Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Jul 18, 2015 |

TheJoker138 posted:In an episode of Angel there's a joke where some Italian woman keeps saying "bah, gypsies, they are a filthy people, we will speak of them no more!" and then spitting on the ground. That joke was pretty funny I think, because she was a dumb racist and the joke was how dumb it was that she kept doing that. And the joke here is that the guy is dumb and thinks technology is magic. It's not a joke that's "punching down." Well, it's punching down at the racist eastern european hacker, but not at gypsies. My favorite gypsy humor is of course from Borat. "And a jar of gypsy tears to protect me from AIDS." Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Jul 21, 2015 |
