I liked iron man and winter soldier and the sound mixing was good.
I hate superhero movies. Can’t wait for this crap to be over
That wasn’t an answer to the question.
You’re not alone brother.
I’m with you. The infantilism of films is so depressing
Guardians of the Galaxy 1, it’s a good movie, but its what I believe started the “well that happened” marvel dialogue, because the other movies couldn’t capture that charm of it.
I asked a buddy of mine, if he could recommend only one movie from either Marvel or DC for me to watch, which one would it be? He said GotG. I watched it and loved it, bought the video game, made my husband watch it, who also loved it.
It’s a great movie, but it’s release caused a new wave of shitty imitators
It was so good the following movies suck by comparison?
It was different, but it was well received, so Marvel has been implementing its comedy in all movies since GotG1 unsuccessfully instead of keeping to the more serious with some slight funny dialogue in it.
After Endgame I think only the spider-man one’s are okay. I stopped watching the rest because I’m pretty fed up with the MCU and going by all their business decisions lately I highly doubt I’d like and of the new content.
I want more movies like Logan, hyper realistic down to earth heroes. Let Denis Villeneuve direct one.
Unfortunately the MCU model is that director vision is cast aside in favour of producer input. It’s why Eternals looks like an artistic Chloe Zhao film, but is a muddled mess of a story. We were deprived of an Edgar Wright Ant-Man film for the same reason
probably ant man, as well as any film that prominantly features ant man as a character. the sci-fi nonsense justification of his powers is just way too stupid for me, and it taints everything it touches.
Pym particles are the speed force of the marvel universe.
I refuse to watch a Marvel movie until they make an Asbestos Lady movie and then that will be my favorite. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Victoria_Murdock_(Earth-616)
Until then, they all suck equally.
That summary history tho: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Victoria_Murdock_(Earth-616)
Anything starting with “Avengers” or “Captain America,” except for the first occurrence of each, all ran together into forgettable mush.
I hate Avengers Endgame and everything it represents.
I’ve gotta go with Quantumania. 2 hours of CGI nonsense
That one was at least funny bad. Almost all other marvel movies are just bad bad.
Gestures broadly
Whatever the most recent one at the moment is.
But seriously, my wife and I watched all of the Marvel movies in release order from Iron Man through Infinity War. I watched a sone of Endgame and turned it off after a bit. Sounds like we made the right choice.
We also stopped Game of Thrones after season 7 episode 4, which appears to be the ideal place to stop to maintain good memories of the show.
I watched GoT all the way through and found it disappointing. However I’m now doing a rewatch and enjoying it. Looking back, the first season is less creative than I remembered. Its just played with great conviction. There are some great quotes though and the budget for sets and set pieces is amazing.
On rewatch lots of stuff i missed makes more sense now that I’m familiar with the world and characters, even knowing how it ends.
The Captain Americas. They’re so generically tropey.
I also hope Sony isn’t offended that I wasn’t a fan of the Spiderman movie I happened to be an extra in. Best eighty bucks ever earned though, I just had to walk down the street doing my thing. Even did an intentional “accidental cosplay” for all who notice.
I thought the second one was great for exactly the reason that they subverted the generic trope of good guy, bland. Then they found success with that and just repeated it ad nauseam.
I do love Chris Evans as Captain America though. His expression of slight disapproval throughout the films is fantastic.
Fun fact: for non-Americans, who are most of the world and the biggest contributors to box office take for MCU films, this character and premise is just goofy. The films are fun to watch in a campy sort of way, but I was surprised to hear Americans talk about them as a serious spy thriller series
Haven’t seen many, but when I tried rewatching iron man 2 if felt disjointed and tonally weird. And love and thunder was disjointed as well. Not a marvel movie fan at all though.
Wakanda Forever. First part where we’re saying goodbye to Chadwick was good in a sad way, but I couldn’t stand anything else that happened after that. I was just so annoyed with every character, I hated every minute of it.
Secret Invasion is by far the worst Marvel production though, just a total shitshow and primarily what caused me to cancel D+, I was just done with the shitty writing.
Oh wow I completely forgot about Secret Invasion. I don’t think I even finished it, just lost interest.
Love and Thunder. The humour felt misplaced.
Also the God Butcher was an amazing arc. They wasted Gorr entirely.
They wasted Christian Bale. What a compelling villain he could’ve been if they had actually written a good story
He did do a great job with what they gave him. He’s the only reason the film is bearable, and would have loved to see a more serious and earnest take on that movie.
It just felt like they were trying too hard in every scene. Ragnarok was great, one of the top Marvel movies, but the humor in that was unexpected, it hadn’t really been done like that before with Thor. We were used to this almost Shakespearian Thor, so it was a breath of fresh air. They needed to tone it down some more, maybe actually make it a bit more serious.
Also, Thor getting chained up and stripped down naked was apparently fine for a Disney movie, but when I do it at the theme park I’m a “sex offender” and “exposing myself to minors”, what the fuck Disney?!
It’s got Taika Waititi’s fingerprints all over it. The same way that the Whedon era has his particular style of dialogue and joke setup, Taika has a similar style that’s very recognisable and overdone.
