Goddamn, they're actually doing it. This should be quite a nostalgia treat.

I'm as hyped for this as I was for Endgame tbh.

Watched The Suicide Squad and thought it was great. Main cast was really good. Humor was on point and some of the twists and deaths were quite unexpected. The best DC film since TDKR easily.

Loved Shang-Chi. Great entertainment. Can't remember the last time i liked a marvel film this much.

by M99 Fri Sep 17, 2021 11:25 pm

Shang Chi was great. Visually the best MCU movie, fantastic action set pieces and the best MCU villain alongside Thanos.

For once Sony didn't spoil the whole movie. Still don't watch it if you wanna be unspoiled on the villains.

And, again, not for once, Sony and Marvel are ruining the most famous character in CB history Laughing

Watched Spiderman last night

It's incredible. The level of hype this movie has, and to land it so well, is something else.

Haven't experienced cinema reactions like that besides endgame.

Best spiderman movie (yes, better than spiderverse), one of the best comic book movie ever.

Anyone who cares, watch it ASAP and avoid spoilers as much as possible.

by Valkyrja Fri Dec 17, 2021 11:11 pm

Huge disappointment to me as a Spiderman fan. Worse service to the character than the first 2 movies (if that was possible).

Best part of the movie was the last scene

by McLewis Mon Dec 20, 2021 1:39 am

Enjoyed it a lot. Rincon summed it up nicely.

by M99 Mon Dec 20, 2021 7:45 pm

Yes, it was indeed great. Best part is he is a proper Spider-Man now and no longer Iron Boy. God I hope Disney and Sony don't screw around and we get a college trilogy with Tom Holland.

Watched The Batman

It's a technical and a visual spectacle heavy on symbolism but without the nuance and depth it promised in the first act. The film often felt neither here nor there with the genres it tried to take on. It is a good watch for a near 3 hour long film however there is nothing extraordinary about it. My main issue is with how hollow and impactless the film felt throughout and how weak the characters are written. The story is quite basic and the mystery element is poor. You actually don't feel like batman was trying to solve anything. A lot of the characters were casted well but weren't given anything substantial to work with. Standouts are obviously batman, the penguin and Falcone. I was not impressed with the riddler at all. The film's strength is with its symbolism and and the visuals. Some gorgeous scenes. This honestly should be Reeve's 'batman begins'
to follow up on.

7/10

by M99 Sat Mar 12, 2022 10:12 am

I was absolutely loving The Batman until the third act. I felt the film's quality went down after

Spoiler:

. It was quite a great film up until that. The ending and what it symbolized was some good stuff but I really didn't feel the last hour. Overall the movie is an 8/10 for me.

by RealGunner Sat Mar 12, 2022 2:11 pm

Actually agree with that thinking about it. It didn't live up to what it promised. The first act was phenomenal. It just decided to go for social commentary at the end which was a weird take.

Think they could have done a lot more with Riddler

by El Gunner Sun Mar 13, 2022 1:27 pm

yea i get where you guys are coming from, disagree with RG though on the characters, the acting, the mystery angle and Riddler....

my final rating: 4.5/5

Awful

by M99 Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:45 am

I can see why they deleted, does not advance the plot in any way.

I would love to have Joker be the Hannibal Lecter to Batman throughout subsequent films.

So it's looking like we may be seeing a recasting of the Flash for whatever WB have planned in the future. Who should take over the role?

Watched Dr Strange MOM

Nonsensical. Rubbish. Pointless. Glad i didn't go cinema for it

by El Gunner Mon Jun 27, 2022 7:39 am

yea i think im also done trying to keep up with the MCU, haven't even been moved in the slightest bit to go check it out

by rincon Tue Jun 28, 2022 10:36 am

Dr Strange MoM was great. Second best MCU film after Spiderman 3.

Distinct style from the director, 100% his movie which is what is needed at this point, less same-y stuff. A very different MCU movie. Crazier, more comic book-like, wilder than most entries. Took more risks than Shang Chi or Black Widow and earned more than both of those put together.

There was a lull in the MCU post-Endgame with the pandemic on top. Shangchi, Eternals, Black Widow was not a great run.

Now it looks to be back.

Spiderman 3
Dr Strange MoM
Thor love and thunder
Black Panther 2
Antman Quantumania
Guardians 3
