Movie Discussion Thread | Upcoming Releases etc..

Interesting couple of weeks coming up.

"Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' " is out on HBO Max on Thursday 18th and on Sky Cinema and "Kong vs Godzilla" out on April 1st (no official UK service announced, but suspected for Amazon Prime).

I wonder why Netflix is missing out on all these big movies coming out. I mean no justice league, no Godzilla..
 
I finally decided to watch Spiderman into the Spiderverse.

Not bad at all. Quite enjoyed myself, in fact.

It’s to do with who they are tied in with in America and distribution hbo/Warner seem to only deal with SKY, so I would be surprised if Kong went to Prime, unless they’ve put a big bid in for it.

I would tend to agree with your view, but where 'Kong' is concerned it would have had a definite attachment by now but, so close to the scheduled release date, there's nothing but mooted suggestions.

Perhaps there is a bidding war?

I can't understand it, otherwise.
 
Anyone seen the Snyder Cut yet? I've seen a few 1080p versions flying about, but waiting for the 4k. I feel like it deserves the best quality.
Just finished it mate, absolutely epic, completely different film and the last act of the film is unreal, WB have to give him the cash to make a sequel now.
 
Snyder’s cut is absolutely phenomenal. Electric.

It deserves a cinema and most definitely a sequel, I just hope WB fund it, the ending was ridiculous.

Even if you’re not into the genre, watch it.

I've just finished myself and I'd agree with you.

I only had a few issues with the CGI (obviously needed more money than WB would give) but, to me, it has singlehandedly dismantled most of the Marvel dessert type offerings, if not all of it.

It had meat and bone and it didn't let up. To think I hated 'Barry Allen' the first time around, but now I thought he was epic!

It just goes to show what an epic re-telling of the story, that was.

About as comic book and enjoyable as it can get.

Clearly neither Affleck nor Cavill are done, but the multiverse door has been opened, very cleverly!!

This is THE right path and I hope WB sticks to this quality!

I got up to about 40mins with the kid, she went from only caring about Marvel to already being massively invested in this (and she saw the 1st version). There are still a lot of corny bits that i had forgotten about and yes some of the CGI seems a bit rushed, but given what we have been through and how they had to rush it with limited funds, its understandable. But already i can see Snyder's mark on films all over this and he's basically just thrown everything at it. The backstories of Steppenwolf was criminally left out, the interactions he has and how afraid of Darkseid he is, Whedon should be ashamed he left all that out (along with all the other list of things he's done wrong!). AFAIK Cyborg didn't do any reshoots, so it's interesting where all this new screentime came from that was completely omitted from the first cut. Like i say, all of this was required to make it coherent and get you to invest into the characters.
 
What's everyone's favourite nostalgia films? I'm thinking of a Back To The Future marathon this afternoon, haven't seen them in years.
 
I'll be watching the Snyder cut when I can. but the 4:3 thing seems like a mad choice. probably driven by "Heres the full wide screen snyder super dooper cut" in 6 months.

its going to be like going back to the 90's for my TV size. I'll be lucky if im getting 28/32 inch screen with this.

Well, let me say your daughter has great taste changing sides!

I agree about 'Steppenwolf' but this is a 'Justice League' story and 'Steppenwolf' and 'Darkseid' would be another 3 hours backstory; just no time to tell it, but we may get that, a little, in a follow up.

This version of story is THE most complete that Snyder has told. It's, clearly, has best work to date and there's a confidence behind it all. Although I noted the CGI, I wasn't overly bothered by it.

As for the 'Josstice League' version, talk about being made irrelevant in the annals of history!

I'll be re-watching this film over the weekend again and I NEVER do that with comic book films!
 
I’ll be rewatching Saturday night I think, in reference to Cyborg, Whedon just didn’t use all the stuff Snyder had filmed in fact very little. Whedon also is in the shit about his treatment of three actors particularly the lad who played Cyborg. The aspect ratio is done on purpose and won’t change its IMAX 1.33 it gives a bigger picture so to speak. I just hope now WB go forward with a sequel as the buzz on the internet is huge over this.

The film ratio doesn't change anything. In fact you don't even notice it and, probably, enhances the experience! Who knew that would happen, with us being subjected to 16:9 now.

I understand Snyder's reasoning that you 'see more' rather than being chopped and lengthened out.

Oh, and this will never be released in 16:9, in my opinion.

Ray Fisher/ 'Cyborg' has stated racism in why his parts were cut as well as issues with the director, himself. It's well known producer Geoff Johns is problematic at WB with, allegedly, sexism and racism issues and since he had a hand in editing, Whedon and Johns have something to answer for.
