Superhero ( & sci-fi / other relevant) films

Just stop with Black Adam, you're embarrassing yourself.

Meanwhile, back in the sane world, another new trailer is out, this time for Spider-Man Across the SpiderVerse

a B in Spanish??!?

They're ripping off the Cheech and Chong joke.

Final GotG3 trailer is out, leading up to the May 5 release date

First trailer for The Marvels (now due some time in November) is out.



Have to say, that actually looks a lot better than I was expecting

[simonirons]

Doesn’t look too bad.

Hopefully after this year, Marvel dial down on putting out 4/5 films a year and start putting out quality over quantity.

Story lines and CGI both seem to be suffering as a result

[WCpete]

Looks a little 'after school special' to me. Yes that's a reference from the '70s. i'm old, sue me.

[dasnutnock3]

Ant-Man 3 now all over London and the West End Now..., so to speak.

New trailer for the Flash is out



I'll probably watch it, but I have zero enthusiasm for it

R The Flash - what films do i need to see before I see this one please, in order to understand the plot ?? TYIA.

You think it has a plot?

None. He runs so fast back in time to save his parents that he splits the universe apart allowing two Batmen (Affleck and Keaton) to show up.

That’s it.

[Kludgehammer]

Judging from the trailer, Man Of Steel, at least, ideally Justice League to get the hang of Batfleck and who Flash is, though god help you having sit through that crock of ****.

1989’s Batman too!

Against my better judgement, I just watched Shazam: Fury of the Gods Jesus christ. I wasn't expecting much, but this was just so utterly vacuous, so witless and cliched, so terribly acted, so completely lacking in any redeeming quality, it's almost an un-film.

So, it's not as offensively imbicilic as the first one, but it's still pretty damn stupid, and just so utterly boring and predictable. Helen Mirren comes out OK (ie, she can act), but everyone else was either a cardboard cut-out or a histrionic caricature. Most of the CGI wasn't as bad as the first one, though the flying effects, particularly near the start of the film, are so bad, the characters just looks like they're hanging in mid-air in front of the screen of some other film.

All in all, totally unmemorable and yet stupid enough to be annoying, at the same time.

Just got back from Guardians 3 - decent, without really ever catching fire. I'd rate it better than 2, not as good as 1. It's definitely over-long - I lasted 2¼ hours before having to choose between seeing the last couple of minutes or wetting myself, so no idea if there are end credit scenes or whatever.

As per usual, Marvel did a masterful job of misdirection in the trailers.

EDIT: Apparently there are 2 end-credit scenes, though neither sound like they were worth waiting for.

[hammers92]

Saw it tonight, much, much better from Marvel imo. Really enjoyed it.

[Kludgehammer]

I think it's going to be a grower - I watched large chunks of it again today on a hooky copy, and it really holds up. It's quite different in tone to the other two, can't really say much more than that without veering into spoiler territory, but well worth a watch, IMHO.

Gotg3 at the cinema this afternoon, another plus for it. More reflective of the phase 3 quality than the recent rubbish. Teen daughter enjoyed it as well.

[Jedi Al Khalaas]

GotG v3 was absolutely brilliant

All the Marvel films since end game have been a bit meh , but this one was well worth the ticket price excellent

[Rio]

Just back from guardians 3

Great film. I blubbed more than once.

Judge me

[last.caress]
