whitesoxfan99 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 20, 2013 -> 12:51 PM) This is such a stretch. The raccoon with a gun might turn off the non-geek public. Or it'll crush because If the movie is good I actually think the raccoon could end up being the star. The cast for this is really impressive and every Marvel movie has been at least solid so I have no reason to believe this wont be a good movie.

GoSox05 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Rocket Raccoon should be the star of the movie, he is awesome. I recommend the current run of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I can't wait to see The World's End this weekend. I love Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and based on reviews this appears to be on par with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Worlds End is getting raved reviews. 95% on RT. My buddy saw YOU'RE NEXT at Sundance a couple of years ago and loved it. 90% RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 It is what it is. We all know if Bale could have been convinced, he would be batman. I preferred Armie Hammer, but they wanted an older actor. Whatever. If Snyder does a good job and the script is solid, Affleck will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Affleck will be fine. I never thought Bale was all that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I think if there's a worry it's that I'm not sure Affleck obviously can pull off the dark, driven, motivated by vengeance character that is batman. He's done dark movies before but it's always seemed to me to be in the "normal guy who does bad stuff" mode. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I would bet that this Batman won't be as dark. I would think that Superman/Batman will more of a big action movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's where we get back on the path towards the Clooney/Kilmer movies, where they were just a little bit (or in the B&R case, way too much) too campy/corny to work.

Jenksismyhero Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) What an awful choice. He had to be plan F or something. I can't believe he'd be their first choice.

I'd hate to compare anything to those movies, as they are some of the worst ever made. I think those movies failed so badly because they tried to get too cartoony with them. They were trying to make them like the old Adam West tv show. I would think Superman/Batman will be closer to The Avengers in style and theme.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Just watched "Now You See Me". I love magician movies for whatever reason. The Illusionist and The Prestige are my 2 favorite movies, although I'm not nearly as big on movies as I am on TV shows. Anyway..... I loved the beginning, very strong and very interesting. Then the middle was really solid too with the reveal of certain tricks and all the crazy smart ways they were able to trick the FBI, then the end..... I f***ing hated the end. **SPOILER** I hate that Mark Ruffalo was the mastermind behind the 30+ year plan the whole time. Hated it. I'll admit, I definitely not see that coming, but so many dumb things happened that never needed to happen, but only happened so they could trick the viewer, not anyone else actually in the story to Ruffalo's benefit. Also, I say the plan was 30+ years because the plan had to consist of him climbing the ranks in the FBI all for this case? He was willing to bide his time over this grudge for that long, have everything work out perfectly in the chain of command to get him to that spot, and in the meantime, he had 30 years to simply rob that company in other ways. s***, he could have just been employed at the safe company for 20 years and pulled of the heist from within. I don't know, the movie was highly entertaining, I'll give them that, and I loved 95% of it, but that last reveal really pissed me off. I would have enjoyed it much more if Morgan Freeman or the Interpol lady, or the bald guy he was working with, or hell, even Common's character was the mastermind. All would have served the "had inside information of the FBI" role, and we could have heard some story about them being transferred over to this new division.

Brian Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Agreed about the ending to "Now YOu See Me". It was fun up until the last few minutes, then was stupid. PS I recommend you edit your post and use for the last part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 "The Spectacular Now" was really good. After I saw it, I was thinking that when I was in high school and when I was a teen, all movies about us were outrageous comedies that put annoying or unlikable characters (sometimes) in ridiculous situations. And while those worked at times, the past few years we have gotten really good teen dramas like this and "Perks of Being A Wallflower". It's sort of refreshing.
