  1. I havent seen all of the MCU films Endgame is a resolution for, but I thoroughly enjoyed it nevertheless. People will no doubt chime in with countless things to discuss here, but heres a couple points of note that stuck out to me: - time travel is such a risky plot point to introduce. It can get tired/confusing/convoluted etc very fast - we've seen in so many other movies and stories how things quickly degenerate into a narrative mess. With that said, I think they did a VERY good job of managing a time travel plot ...without having (what I was expecting) many negatives that typically come with it. - Captain Marvel usage reminded me of the Eagles from LOTR. IE a "warning: gets tired and repetitive and a lame copout when overdone" alarm going off. She appears when all hope is lost to save the day. Here, shes so powerful they had to kick her out of 80% of the film because she was 'busy elsewhere'. Maybe the character is simply too powerful, because if they continue to use her like this in future its going to get repetitive and lame pretty fast. She did the solo-save-the-day thing at the end of Captain Marvel (movie) and she did some similar moves during Endgame too. - Hulk CGI was a bit off in some scenes. It was good, yes (the facial expressions were fantastic), but sometimes it wasnt working for me as much as i'd have liked. - there was a scene at the start (around when Antman first appeared I think) which was pretty dark/subdued in colour,... then it cut directly to a bright white/well lit screen that near blinded me and the audience before our eyes had a chance to adjust. Yeouch! - I left the cinema confused why Gamora/Black Widow were still dead. Because I knew they are making a Black Widow standalone film - which made me wonder if I missed something during Endgame because she cant be dead if theres going to be a Black Widow movie set after?!?!!? And surely when Iron Man had the gauntlet and snapped he couldve just brought them back too with the virtual omnipotent power he wielded anyway? My biggest unexpected delights were seeing Thor interact with Frigga (I thought the mother was used beautifully), Pepper Potts final words to Iron Man were poignant and perfect (something like "We'll be ok without you. You can relax/let go now" = those are the real world words many people DO speak to a dying family member in hospice - I said nearly the exact same thing to my dad shortly before he died) - and the very final shot of the film (Captain embracing his lady) ending with a kiss/love = the perfect way to end the film. Overall it was a very entertaining film, even though ive only seen a handful of the many films it serves as a conclusion to. People who live and breathe Marvel and have seen every prior film will no doubt be over the moon with how well it serves and respects the prior source material it concludes. A
  2. Yeah so ive got no idea what those mean. edit - ok ok i get it now =) nice one.
  3. SOO... about that Shade Colin Trevorrow is throwing around right about now on twitter... https://twitter.com/colintrevorrow Interesting time for Mr Trevorrow to come out and tell us this anecdote about his son, while Solo crashes and burns (reigniting the debate that TLJ compromised the core tenets of a beloved franchise. Oh wait....)
  4. Eh. Its more like, "You can check out some more posts.... RIGHT NOW" When I first saw your profile I was like 'omg its grace' - the thing that gave it away was your profile says 'male'.
  5. On the theforce.net (Star wars) forums right now, half the fanbase think its 'obvious' that TLJ was a huge and negative factor contributing to Solos unfolding failure. The other half is saying TLJ had no impact. https://imgur.com/Z2yBmtH
  6. The real delight in watching their videos is seeing them squirm trying to avoid being too critical - avoid talking about the biggest elephant in the room (so many fans hated TLJ) - for fear of being blacklisted by Disney and disinvited to their premieres/events etc etc.
  7. The Headline this weekend: Fans and audiences give a giant middle finger to Darth Kathleen, Rian Johnson, Disney - reject Solo en masse by not even bothering to show up.
  8. Absolutely. TLJ hurt the brand. I saw Solo, only begrudgingly, because I intensely disliked TLJ. But I really wanted to give Solo a chance. (And Solo disappointed me again). Theres going to be lots of people whos bum will never be on the Solo seat, because they simply dont care about SW enough to give it a second chance after TFA.
  9. Rubbish. Going by this logic: There should also be an asterisk next to every asterisk, reminding people that someone can always find an asterisk to credit/discredit any accomplishment they do/dont like.
  10. Sophia Lillis has said BOTH jessica chastain and amy adams could play her. It depends on which interview you were watching - in some interviews she said amy adams, in other jessica. In one interview she basically acknowledged an awareness that jessica had a relationship with the director from a previous film... so I think she probably feels like jessica was a shoe-in as the directors personal choice (which would no doubt affect what she says as well).
  11. Pratt would be expensive, but if him and his agent were smart, they'd do this for next-to-no $ and maybe just some backend. This is the sort of film Pratt needs (assumings its gonna be as good as part 1) if he wants to maintain his longterm career.... and not just coast off short term bullshit like Passengers and a few comic book movies which will bore ppl soon enough. Still a little dissappointed its not Amy Adams as Bev. I can see Jessica has physical similarities, and know about her prior relationship with the director etc etc... but Amy Adams is Bev. Jessica will just be playing Bev. Its a missed opportunity, but i'll give Jessica a chance I guess...... Now I know people would (rightfully) say Amy Adams would be expensive. But geez, if there is ONE loser worth blowing the budget on - its Bev I think. She was the emotional heart of part 1, but hopefully part 2 as well.
  12. Fantastic film. I really hope this film DOES get a sequel. It doesnt necessarily need to involve this family. It could be a 'set in the universe' sequel like Cloverfields ones. It could be about another family. It could be about Day 1-10 of the invasion. It could be this family again at a later date. It could be anything really. --- Really important to stress that, for some people, your fullest enjoyment of this film will REALLY depend on the type of audience and environment you see it in. I myself ordinarily get driven nuts by babies, noisy popcorn, crunchy wrappers being scrunched, people outside the cinema chatting loudly because the door was left open etc - in any movie. I like a quiet cinema in general anyway.... ... but this film takes that to a whole new level. Your film experience could easily be ruined if you have a bad or un-courteous audience. if you wanted to give that little noisy kid a dirty look in any other movie, in this movie you'll want to break his arm and gag him with duct tape. I already knew this before I saw the movie, but didnt realise just how true it was.
  13. "Shape of Water" is like "Free Willy" - except the boy has sex with the whale and goes to live in the ocean with it after setting it free. (And it was a gloriously beautiful, wonderful film).
