    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    So Scarlet Witch is wrong on that list, because how she's depicted in the movies, but Spidy and Thor are wrong on that list, because who they're depicted in the comics as opposed to the movie? Make up your mind man.

    Soldado (2018)

    New trailer. Looks pretty good, if clearly more "Hollywood" than the first ... but, it's one of those trailers that pretty much spoils the movie's plot start to finish. You've been warned.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    What? That Fleetwood Mac song when they split and again in the final battle, when they pull their shit together. Kurt Russel explaining his motivation through "Brandy" by Looking Glass. The guy singing "Soup, Soup" to Silver. Etc.. The use of music in the movie is superb and I can listen...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Which is why the MCU peaked with Iron Man 3. Doesn't get more real than that. #trevorslatteryforlife

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    One of the Thanos Sidekicks. Costumes have been out for nearly a year, but presumably the CGI wasn't ready for older trailers to show them.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Seems fitting, given New Gods/Fourth World was a pretty hamfisted attempt to rework comics into late 60s/early 70s esoteric hippie mumbo-jumbo and a gigantic financial failure at the time.

    Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

    I think Depp looks pretty good in the role, actually, and wasn't half bad in Black Mass and the Orient Express either. If he can move on from the Tim Burton/not-Jack Sparrow type characters and never look back, he could have a nice late career IMO.

    Black Panther (2018)

    Curious. Almost as weird as Evangelicals and other value voters falling for a thrice married hucksters who likes golden showers from Russian hookers, fiscal hawks falling for a guy pushing the deficit over a trillion, rural working poor falling for a guy stealing their health care to bolster...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Lol. I think that ship sailed when the Nolan Batman Movies didn't tank for exactly this reason. Those flicks are still the definition of pretentious stick-up-your-ass seriousness applied to hilariously illogical nonsense.

    I normally live in the UK. Just here for a few days. But the posters are all over, as with any Disney blockbuster, I suppose.

    Maybe. But why is the rest virtually identical? Thought it might be release date, but it's been clearly out here for a few days.

    Black Panther (2018)

    Dat Black Panther #1 movie off all times on Rotten Tomatoes is so clearly photoshopped, it's not even funny. Fake News trying to cast a well-received movie and it's favourable critics in a bad light by fake exaggeration at its best. Black Panther isn't even in the Top 100. And for the RT...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Movies with black leads clearly have a disadvantage in Asien markets, but some buck the trend. Will Smith in his glory days was as big in China as everywhere else and stuff like MIB III, I am Legend and I Robot rocked the chinese box office. If this is sold as Marvel-stuff and not as "black...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Compared to what? Idiotic stereotypes about black audience because some lead actors are also black? Ticket sales clearly seem a step up or ten from that for sure :) Also shaping up to be a real MCU contender. Opening blew GoTG, Civil War, Thor Ragnerok, etc.. right out of the water ... and it...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Pretty normal for movies to film wherever the tax is best. And once you're talking Disney money for FX, set design, etc.., it probably doesn't matter anyhow.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Dash Rendar is/was a not-Han-Solo character first created for Shadows of the Empire, which was set between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and thus Han Solo was frozen in carbonite, yet they still wanted to have a swash-buckling smuggler with a super-fast, crappy-looking donut-shaped...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Most of it looks fun, but yeah, guy is no Han Solo. Should've made him something like Dash Rendar or new kinda-Solo Smuggler-guy having his story criss-cross Nu-Star-Wars lore. TFA send-off was sufficient. Should've left it there.

    Black Panther (2018)

    Also, because almost every Marvel new-character's first solo movie does it. It's the Iron Man formula, found everywhere from Norton-Hulk to Ant-Man and even stuff like Dr. Strange. They ain't gonna fix what's not broken (financially thus far, at the very least). It's also popular in comics as...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Is that why people here need to go supernova on their tinfoil hat nonsense to somehow convince themselves of a giant conspiracy that's hiding how the "secret majority" allegedly agrees with the minority of online haters to validate their dislike of the movie? It's not a bad movie. It's a pretty...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    If Disney throws out a shit movie, they get shit reviews like everyone else (e.g. recent Pirates movies). TLJ just happens to be a good movie, and no amount of storm-in-a-teacup-raging by alt-right-snowflakes desperately trying to make a deluded social/political point by hating on the movie on...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    But that's why the whole Luke force projection thing is so ingenious. Kylo Ren is a whiney Darth Vader cosplayers, trying to become a genuine villain. Rey is a Star Wars fangirl literally growing up in an AT-AT and collecting Star Wars OT memorabilia and fantasising about some bad fan-fiction...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Funny how some people who didn't like TLJ are so insecure about it, they desperately need it to be a financial flop to validate their opinion. Just say you didn't like it and move on ...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Lol. If TLJ is underperforming, it is because of the massive damage done to the Star Wars brand by Rogue One. If anything, TLJ is a nice rebound and a silver lining after Disney did prove the impossible of doing a Star Wars movie worse than Attack of the Clones some 12 months ago.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Rogue One wasn't that bad. I'd probably rate it on par with Attack of the Clones.

    Ready Player One (2018)

    It isn't "80s" strictly. It's the dead trillionaire's nerdy childhood. A lot of key puzzles in the book actually reference 70s computer stuff too, as well as 70s D&D. And post-80s geek culture obviously also comes up (and the movie clearly will do similar things, as we've seen Overwatch...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    No. Anakin was the Chosen One. Rey's parents are nobody. The end. The explanation in TLJ was that she's a kind of anti-body reaction of the Force to Kylo, since there is only dark side (Luke being cut off and all), so "it" creates a counterweight. This of course runs off the George Lucas...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Why would the audience expect that? It's a stupid throwaway line from the prequels, right up there with Midichlorians, which for some retarded reason turned the simple fact that the original trilogy just happened to have 2 bad guys into some kinda rule, just like the pilot helm Han happened to...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    A. It's a good movie. Basement Neckbeards getting their panties in a twist because Snoke isn't Darth Plague-eggs doesn't change this being one of the 4 (or 4 1/2, if you count half of RotJ) good Star Wars movies. B. 93% of critics don't need to say it's great. 93% of critics simply need to give...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I liked the movie a lot, but something that seemed off was why things were so so desperate for that "spark of hope". As (it seems) the movie picks up literally a day or so after TFA, shouldn't blowing up Starkiller Base be that "beacon"/"story"/whatever that spreads across the galaxy, proving...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    JJ will just throw in his stupid Lost "Mystery Box" again and kick off another few years of Neckbeards going into retarded Reddit-vs.-YouTube theory-fights about Darth Plague-something and Grey Jedi for a few years until the Episode X-XII trilogy rolls around.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Saw it finally and I liked it. Poe (and Finn) running the "we're the only ones who know how to save ya'll" but ending up in the wrong was unexpected for a Disney blockbuster and pretty cool. Visuals were great. Mark Hamill was fantastic (I can see the criticism in where they took Luke, but I...

    Alita: Battle Angel (2018)

    /shrug Guess Cameron is into that. It's not like Avatar's Navi weren't Anime-bait either (and I suppose the entire plot of that movie would have played very differently if the Navi had been a species of fat, smelly troglodytes, full of warts).
