Book was a pretty good page-turner, I thought. Obviously wasn't going for a noble prize in literature (or pretending to). It always was the written equivalent of popcorn blockbuster movies with easy underdog-good-guy vs. evil bad guys + heaps of nostalgia-bait for the older generation of nerds...

Lol @ another Ninja T-Rex. That aside, feels like I've seen the movie now. 6/10. Was alright. 2.15 felt like they were stretching the 3rd act. Should've stayed under 2 minutes.

Woot! MCU finally getting some quality villains!

Why not? Holland is their guy. Homecoming was their movie. Presumably they could use him as long as they don't put in references like Capt. America, Iron Man, (or Star Wars Merch) that belongs to Disney-Marvel. Depends on the exact details of the Sony-Disney deal of course. Disney-Marvel...

Well, on the other hand, Dr. Strange also has the entire story around Benjamin Pratt essentially becoming a Wizards just to walk again and Strange (pre-discovering magic) going on and on about how it is impossible this could've happened.

Well, free universal health care, free social housing, public universities, etc.. makes it a lot easier for second generation of piss poor immigrants (or just piss poor domestic parents) to get somewhere.

Somebody clearly missed 30 years of pop culture's collective Boba Fett obsession.

So Marvel just cast WB's Nu-Dumbledore for the MCU? Not giving an inch :=)

So what do you think Kevin Feige/Marvel/Disney would do with Affleck, being-on-off-on-again, directing, not-directing, pissed-because-not directing (with some added hyperpolitical groping shit possibly brewing most recently)?

Not sure about that. RDJ wasnt unknown and having a reasonable post-90s comeback since Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Tropic Thunder, the Soloist, etc.. were alsomostly filmed before IM1 hit theatres. Nothing to make him the world’s best paid actor by miles, but not so different from non-Comic Book...

This! Feels like all this is increasingly being graded on a curve. Imagine you could go back in time 5 years and post on FoH that a) 2017 will see the release of a Justice League movie with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, the whole shebang b) That same movie will also open below...

Well, if WB wouldn't pussy about with review embargos and shit until 5 minutes before the release, RT and critics wouldn't need to do crazy stunts just to do what they're supposed to do and make their opinions available for the public so people can access other people's opinions (or aggregated...

Spiderman is still at Sony, despite (or because of) the cooperation agreement. Spiderman Homecoming was a Sony-distributed movie, not a Disney-distributed movie. Marvel and Sony essentially traded extended cameos of Spidey in (Marvel's) Civil War vs. Iron Man in (Sony's) Homecoming, along with...

Comic book characters all started out in their own universe. Flash doesn't share the same universe with Batman. Wonderwoman doesn't share the same universe with Superman. Iron Man doesn't share the same universe with the Hulk or Ant Man. Alien doesn't share the same universe with Predator...

I am sure they will as soon as Disney streaming is somewhat functional and they can dangle Star Wars to make people sign up for it. They already said they will do separate Marvel TV series for their streaming, though continue the ones running on and developed with Netflix. Though I doubt they'll...

Why not have more than one if you can? Stupid bureaucracy about passports and countries is super 19th century anyways. Wouldn't get emotional about arbitrary lines drawn on a map for governments to swindle people out of money by claiming they belong to this or that colourful piece of cloth...

Having a visa for a film shoot or a charity event isnt the same as having a citizen's right to live, to work, buy property, etc... in Italy (and through Italy in all countries of the Schengen Agreement, which the UK isnt fully part of and will likely distance itself further from). He likely...

The actress looks good from the trailer. CGI on the waterfall plane, the dungeon traps and some other things looks horrible though.

Basically all of them (and this inevitably pretty much nothing from any of them). Hell, the first book, the Gunslinger is super-short (and originally a collection of serial stories from a late 1970s Fantasy/Sci-Fi pulp stories magazine King wrote for. In it .. [/spoiler]

I can't believe there are still behind-the-moon-Trumptards that think SJW is an insult in 2017. You're one of the sensitive Rednecks who got triggered by tweets of the Declaration of Independence too?

Agree. I think it could've been (in theory) a good way to mix things between Anthology movies and "main story movies", keeping the latter conservative and close to the formula, delivering fans their bi-annual dose of X-Wings and lightsabers, while being slightly more experimental (by Disney...

Yes. But they do. Fate of the Furious. Domestic 225 Million. International 1,013 Million. PoTC 5 (?). Domestic 150 Million. International 500 Million. The Mummy (currently) 57 Domestic. International 236 Million. Transformers Age of Ext. (the one before the current one). Domestic. 245...

Not always. Marvel had it's fair share of groan-worthy world-building non-sense. The entire 'oh, besides, you need this metal-candy-bar-something-only-found-in-an-Avengers-warehouse-so-you-can-have-fight-with-Hawk-dude' sequence in Ant Man was clearly extraneous to Ant Man's movie and story...

I think the movie will do fine. Along with it's inevitable combined-universe follow-ups, it'll comfortably sit in the latter-day PoTC/Transformers/etc.. niche, will earn scathing reviews, the appearance of underperforming domestically, but still make bank internationally. And it'll probably pay...

I think there was a switch in the movies roles and conflict compared to the book, which made a lot of those scenes odd. In the Rolling Stones article/book-that-came-later, McCrystal (which Brad Pitt is, if anonymised) is largely the bad guy for going off on his own, ignoring sensible input from...

I think RLM are pretty spot on in their criticism. It's a "watchable" movie, but sadly short of what it could have been for likely the very same reasons that'll make it a successful intl. franchise. It could've had edgier/snappier/funnier dialogue, but that might not carry well in China & Co...

Not the most exciting Marvel thing, but the visuals look nice and I'll probably see it for Bilbo interrogating Gollum alone.

I am not sure if people get maybe a bit too distracted by reading the politics into it. Again, the main point they were trying to get across was that there're more than one Jesus (literally, in the American Gods context) and that two versions of the same "God" (as in...

It's good, not great. Not a bad watch in theatre if you like comic book movies, but not an absolute must-see.

Definitely an odd one. I think it was ok. Certainly miles above BvS. But the super-great reviews it's getting appear to be grading it on a curve, largely for not being a Snyder Train-Wreck. If WW would've been a Marvel character and this a Marvel movie, people would probably focus more on...

They whole Make-Germany-Great-Again-and-Drain-the-corrupt-Weimar-Republic-Swamp-and-fuck-the-League-of-Nations-Globalisation-stuff-and-blame-a-non-christian-religion-for-everything Nazi movement only really came out of the fringes after WWI and was elected into power only 1933.

Harsh as it might be, I'd be double-triple-quadruple sceptical of those pre-real-review-hype-"impressions" in the DCEU. They know they got .. mixed .. reviews for their last couple of instalments and certainly won't leave things up to chance here. There might be some genuine opinions in there...

I read the books, but never thought of them as anything more than schlock to begin with. Fun, worth a read (the early ones at least) but hardly more than a quick throwaway by King in mass-production-mode after watching an Eastwood film. I am surprised how religious people get over it them.
