Biggest movie franchise of all time big fan of all their movies, Netflix stuff and possibly in the minority here but I really like Agents of Shield. Next up on their slate.
Saw Captain America and thought they did a great job bar some of the shakey camera work, particularly in dialogue scenes. It will be interesting to see how their lesser known characters perform, although using GotG as a benchmark, they should continue to rake it in while doing good movies. Also, I guarantee at least one member of this forum will come into this thread, tell you that you are a geek for liking Marvel films, and only DC can make goof films, especially Batman vs Superman (which apparently is the greatest film in 30 years).
At least they can justify it in an action scene, although the car chase was hard to watch at times. But why do they need Cloverfield Cam during dialogue scenes e.g. when that woman told Stark he murdered her son?
I love most of the Marvel stuff, But really can't get into The Agents of Shield. The best thing Marvel has ever done is the 90's animated X-Men though.
Phil Coulson keeps me invested in the show I love his character, if not for him I probably would have turned off a while back.
The big guest stars have made the first two series. Bill Paxton was very good, and S1 picked up after he joined. Kyle McLaughlin was at his over the top mentalness best in S2.
Have to say the airport scene in Civil War was incredible. Spoiler Spiderman was amazing but I nearly lost my shit with giant Antman
Loved that as a kid, even had Gambit who isn't really around anymore. P.s. I f***ing had Cumberbatch.
It makes me very sad that I I look at what's on at the cinema there's so much Marvel / Comic's / Revamped superhero claptrap these days. The studios are churning out formulaic crap with monotonous regularity. At first it was fun and interesting, but it's got to the stage now where I really just don't care any more. The last in the franchise's hero is the next one's bad guy, then they're good again then bad again. My irritation level has now reach 'conscientious objector' level and I almost missed out on Deadpool which was a hilarious piece of 'Anti-SuperHero' comedy genius but even that was 'tainted' with low budget X-Men at the end. I miss the old days of new and innovative film making without Franchise nonsense.
There's plenty of other stuff to go and watch. There's just a lot of advertising for these movies plus people talk about them a lot because for the most part, they're very popular. And in fairness, the very act of having 26+ movies all tying together and having so many main characters in one universe is pretty innovative.
the geek thing is more when u guys start harking out the comic books references. I love superhero films but I've probably read about 2 comic books in my life. no interest in them. i'll probs watch civil war when it comes out on DVD. hell i'd rather watch marvel films than the tosh Panda or whatever his name watches
I saw captain America this week I reasonably enjoyed it. but I defo thought batman vs superman was better. no question about it. (no doubt guyett will think I'm trying be a wum) this had some good stuff in though. I liked the whole aspect of politics merging with superheroes and their agenda. and how it split the avenger. very good topic. I liked ant-man and I ddefo wanna see that movie. I haven't seen it yet. shame spidey was only in 1 scene essentially- easily the best marvel character. the ending to this was incredibly anti-climatic though. no doubt about that.
I feel like I was born in some kind of gap where this stuff wasn't so popular. I liked adam west batman and mark hammill animated batman stuff, but beyond that meh.
When I was a kid in the 1970's I got Marvel comics every week. The movies now are unbelievable but there are so many more characters not yet hit the big screen it is mind blowing Luke Cage Power man would be on my list Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
