I hope you're all doing a run through the transformers films next If I knew they climaxed in a couple of amazing films and the payoff was worth it then I probably would. But by all accounts those movies get worse and worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I've got to the stage where the movies are actually good, so it's a lot easier now. Just watched Black Panther. Here are my verdicts on all of the movies so far, if anyone cares Captain America: The First Avenger - Boring and shit Captain Marvel - actually decent Iron Man - rubbish Iron Man 2 - more rubbish The Incredible Hulk - boring and shit Thor - one of the most boring films I've ever seen The Avengers - Great Thor: The Dark World - worse than the first one. This film alone caused me to have a 6 month break from the MCu because it was so shit. I gave up. Iron Man 3 - awful Captain America: The Winter Soldier - fine but extremely overrated. The Winter Soldier is an incredibly dull character. I don't care about him whatsoever Guardians of the Galaxy - good fun. I still think it's a bit overrated and the soundtrack is completely shoehorned in. But it's a good, fun movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - Started really well and goes downhill in the second half. The ending is absolutely awful, twee nonsense Avengers: Age of Ultron - Really good. The movie that made me want to go on this horrible journey in the first place Ant-Man - way better than I expected. Really fun, Paul Rudd is a legend. Just why do they show Ant Man Running ALL THE TIME?! Captain America: Civil War - Yeah this one is excellent. It's not really a captain america film, which helps a lot. Black Widow - Dogshit Spider-Man: Homecoming - missed this one. it's not on Disney so I'll have to catch up. I absolutely hate spiderman movies so my expectations are low Black Panther - absolutely brilliant. Best one so far by a country mile. Extremely un-marvel to be honest, which probably helps Homecoming is better than previous Spiderman films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been bored by superhero movies (when the X-Men started) and then Hollywood started making basically nothing else. I'm going off the order in this article which says the best way to watch them is in the order they were released. Iron Man - ok, lots of action pretty silly Hulk with Ed Norton - the article says to avoid this so I skipped it! Iron Man 2 - again OK. Found myself scrolling on my phone but it passes a couple of hours Thor - I did't watch by mistake but I didn't miss much by all accounts CA - 1st Avenger - OK - bit of a struggle to stick with Avengers - Pretty fun Iron Man 3 - From silliness now trying to be more serious - meh Thor Dark World - very hard work Winter Soldier - I had fun Guardians of the Galaxy - I actually watched this when it 1st came out for some reason and I thought it was alright. Thought a lot less of it 2nd time Age of Ultron - Pretty good! Ant Man - Missed it but will watch at some point as it's meant to be fun Civil War - Really good - I'm actually interested now in the overall plot to see where it goes. All in all, I think I get now why people are into it. It's a bit like a Doctor Who-esque Universe. Lords, Demi Gods, different dimensions and instead of a main protagonist like the Dr, it's a team and that brings politics into it as their relationships develop. Then there's the over-reaching story arc over multiple films like the Dr. Who series (Bad Wolf etc.) Dr. Strange up next. I think you’ve missed the first Avengers film - edit no you haven’t ignore me Edited July 4, 2023 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Ridley Scot. Joaquin Phoenix. Should be epic. I seem to recall Kubrick was touted for a Napoleon biopic an age ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth do you depict 20 years of napoleons life from the revolution, the battle of the pyramids, austerlitz, grand army invasion of Russia, exile to Elba, return and Waterloo in one film and it not be a rushed mess? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Watched Rupert Everett's portrayal of Oscar Wilde in The Happy Prince. Enjoyed it far more than the Stephen Fry version. The only blemish was Tom Wilkinson's terrible Irish accent as the priest. The film certainly confirms that nobody does hypocrisy quite like the British.
