I don't know if I can watch this, the scarjo casting is just too horrendous. Would un-immerse me every time I see her dumb face.

Same here.

I would much rather see a proper Black Widow movie, which I feel would be a highly anticipated box office hit at this point.

And I say this as someone who never liked her being cast as BW and never was a fan of the actress.

I feel the same way. I won't be watching Ghost in the Shell. The casting is just off to me plus I don't think it looks THAT good. A Black Widow spin off would have been so much better imo.

A Black Widow would have been sooo much... worse! Not that Ghost in the Shell looks amazing but at least it's something a little bit different as opposed to yet another comic book adaptation.

GIAS is different? A film about a human-female-shaped robot that has, for all intents and purposes, all the abilities of your run-of-the-mill female superhero, and fights crime in a gritty urban landscape?

Ok.

[The Futurist]

The fact lots of people argued Scarjo s best performance was in Her says a lot IMO.

 

 

[Hatebox]

I'm not really a fan of hers, but she was good in Under The Skin. It was a deceptively demanding role.

[Durden]

The sequence "Her" and "Under the Skin" made me a fan.

 

But Charlotte in "Lost of Translation" is still my favorite performance.

Spongebob Movie is her best work

Ghost In The Shell  started out as Manga.

Whatever, it's Japanese Cyberpunk, which makes it a tad more interesting than that Marvel stuff, in my book.

You had to take a swipe at Marvel, didn't you? 

 

A.K.A. the most successful franchise of the 21st century. 

[Elessar]

Marvel is the Call of Duty of movies. You get at least one every year, it gets generally good reviews for a run-of-the-mill blockbuster, plenty of people are consuming it, taking away mind/dollar-share from other, superior stuff.

 

How's that for a swipe?

So Call of Duty games have the variety of Marvel (Dr. Strange, Civil War, Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy)?

 

No they don't.

 

Marvel explores different sub genres and are critically and financially successful every time.

 

And lol @ at two movies per year taking away the limelight from better franchises.

 

If all it takes is two movies per year to completely eclipse your franchise then it probably wasn't that great to begin with.

 

Unless you're comparing MCU to Oscar bait which is apples to oranges not to mention a grievance with blockbusters in general.

 

 

 

 

[The Futurist]

 

I love the MCU so, so much.

 

Can't hang with the cool kids.

Yes but Marvel has proven itself to be the worst thing that has happened to Hollywood in at least 20 years, so it's not going to happen.

Guys, this isn't really the thread for discussing whether Marvel is great or awful.
