Movie Discussion Thread | Upcoming Releases etc..

I thought it was terrible, sorry mate, and im a fan of superhero films! Main villain was so dull, and I love the actor, set pieces very, very corny and the overwhelming sentiment in her speech at the end was comically trite... sorry man! Not to mention the Cheetah character. So bad. I enjoyed the first one too btw, just thought this flopped every single landing.

TBF i think Mr Mando tried very hard to do something with that character, but the writing and the direction of everything was so simple it was almost like they were trying to make it an 80s film with younger actors. It was, just weird. The whole grand opening scene was great, i thought the music and tempo building of it was decent and

Spoiler: spolier

then it had a life lesson for Diana that you can't take short cuts and no cheating allowed. That was never re-visited, so what was the point? They hinted it was about not bringing her boyfriend back, but even that is a stretch

And i'm not gonna lie, i was left very uncomfortable with the portrayal of the Arab countries, given we know Gadot's views on those kind of things i think there should have been a conscious effort to not go in that direction. It seemed like a POS film that was rubber stamped with weird political undertones. Hopefully JL can resurrect the character.

Sorry, I've got say Nolan is the biggest myth in the game!

Where Snyder might be bit simplistic with his writing, but delivers on visuals, Nolan over complicates his writing and delivers poor translation in visuals.

I find him terrible and I'm really reluctant to watch any film directed by him as I ALWAYS regret it after!!

Yeah i think we've discussed this before tbf, Everyone has their own tastes but Interstellar and Inception are two of my fave ever films.

 

[shevtheblue]

No, that's fair enough.

I like when someone tries to do something different with a character, I think.

It's probably why I don't mind when genders/ race can be reversed/ replaced.

There's always an interesting slant with it.

I mean I wonder if Snyder/ whomever would be brave enough to introduce 'Calvin Ellis' into the fray and buck the trend through the multiverse?

Can you imagine the outrage from the gammons :D:D:D

Interstellar is up there as one of my fav's thats for sure. I've still not seen inception. its been on my watch list for years but just never seem to be in the right mood for it when I see it available to watch.

once I get a PS5 i'll be getting the Nolan 4K blu ray box set so may just wait.

Might be waiting a while for that PS5 mate!

How come?

dont think I have much choice anyways :D

There's fuck all stock, it just comes in and is sold immediately. Looks like Covid has caused issues with supplying of parts so could be a while, unless you are constantly on stock watch and prepared to stay up mad hours.

Would you like to see Zack Synder's...

Spoiler: Joker...?

 

[grunge]

Looks far better than the one from Suicide squad. Hopefully get to see what Leto can do with him here.

Hollywood planning a "Wizard of Oz" remake.....



Tinkering with a classic. Leave it alone, you philistines.

Pretty sure I heard it was a 'prequel' about the witches!

Well, it looks like JJ Abrahms has passed on Henry Cavill retaining the 'Superman' role and it will, now, get a reboot.

'Supergirl' is being introduced into the upcoming 'Flash' film, but I don't know if that will tie in, at some point.

It does make me wonder if they really will go down the 'Calvin Ellis' route, from the multiverse as it's the only logical pathway to take with the Kryptonion character...

Well, unless the DCEU focus on 'Supergirl', of course!

Good, apparently the small people were rapey, gropey and drunkard bastards in the original. Whole lot of them, caused chaos in their accommodation during production.

I'm a big fan of director Robert Eggers, he did The Lighthouse and The Witch in recent years.
Out soon I believe will the the Northman.

The Northman is an upcoming historical thriller film directed by Robert Eggers, who co-wrote the screenplay with Sjón. Set at the turn of the 10th century in Iceland, it stars Alexander Skarsgård as Nordic prince Amleth, who seeks revenge after his father is murdered

Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about this. Maybe Snyder's JL will give fans what we wanted and force them to keep going. Let's see.

Just watched lady vengeance again, forgotten how much of a great film it is. I know everyome generally prefers oldboy from this series, but this one's always been my fave. Great trilogy of films though.

Bloody hell how many times can you reboot something! Cavill was good, DC have proper flicked up their franchise, they could be up there with Marvel if they just had a vision to follow.

I agree.

Myself, I quite liked Henry Cavill but, apparently, he's an arsehole behind the scenes. Something like a 'Billy Big Bollocks' demanding more money. Also, apparently, he also wanted a say on which actors were suited to what parts.

Who knows the truth?

Trouble is, Cavill can't say anything if he wants to carry on in the industry. He's still being picked for 'Supes' in the "Black Adam" film (he and Dwayne Johnson have the same manager) and there's also the vacant 'James Bond' slot, should they continue with the male version.

Fooked, if I know!

 

[Bigga]

It's been bugging me for a few days, the story about Cavill.

Now, I don't think he's not 'Superman' any more, but I think there's been a misdirect in the information given, either as an intentional action or by accident.

I keep reading about the 'Flash' film being a 'multiverse' film, not a reboot. So, this means the DCEU will be able to keep or create a few iterations of the 'Super' legend.

I'm not quite sure where the DCEU are getting 'Supergirl' from, but 'Calvin Ellis' is the President on 'Earth 2'.

In essence, it gives the DCEU a free hit to gauge the popularity of the new character as an 'elseworld' story to see if 'Ellis' would be more popular than 'Kent'.

It's smart, it offers diversity without changing the original protagonist and it gives the DCEU a new revenue stream.

No idea on any of that but the money things just holywood through and through. big in demand star wanting more cash shouldn't be something out of the ordinary.

would be a shame if he it totally dropped as he fits the roll well, but if he's a bit of a dick then I can understand why the change.
