Re: Anticipated Movies and Trailers Thread

[Krubixcube]

I've been avoiding social media...reddit...SO excited. More than I should be probably but STAR WARS, guys!

[TripOpt55]

I asked for music and games, why not here? What movies are you guys looking forward to most this year?

[volvocrusher]

Captain America, Hail Caesar, Ratchet and Clank, Dr Strange, Suicide Squad, and Jungle Book immediately come to mind

[Krubixcube]

The two I want to see in the immediate future are Hail Caeser (I'm not a big football guy so might pop out and watch it Sunday) and The Witch

[TripOpt55]

Hoping to go to a movie every couple weeks this year. So I will look to you guys to steer me in the right direction. Will probably go for Hail Caesar next time I have a weekday off.

I forgot about The Nice Guys. That looks pretty great

[Motinator]

Ratchet and Clank, Captain America, and you guys are forgetting Deadpool!

[volvocrusher]

No I'm not. Can't stand Deadpool

[Krubixcube]

Oh yeah, Nice Guys had a great trailer. Wanna see that too.

The Deadpool trailers look awful. The humor feels like it was written by a 13 year old who was given carte-blanche on saying "fuck" a lot.

[ajapam]

Nice Guys looks really good. I'm excited for Ratchet and Clank and Captain America. Though I'm still unsure about both of them

[Krubixcube]

This should come out as a surprise to no one but I'm burnt out on Superhero stuff. Captain America 2 was good, but the new one looks lame. The last shot in the trailer of the CG ragdolls ragging into each other just made me laugh inadvertently.

[volvocrusher]

I'm excited for more Caps. Especially since they seem to be really taking advantage of all the past continuity for this one

[ajapam]

I just don't like how they seem to be making the conflict all about his friend. That seems really dumb. I hope there's a lot more to it

[volvocrusher]

So Justice League trailer actually looks pretty good. Seems like DC is finally understanding that these things should be fun

[avidacridjam]

They were always headed in this direction. Wonder Woman looks fucking spectacular.

[volvocrusher]

I have a hard time feeling they were always heading in this direction when Batman v Superman was announced in response to the reaction people had to MoS, as well as the direction its story took. DC seems to be reacting to whatever audiences are saying, which may eventually pay off but may also blow up in their faces. I hope the former, I really want JL to be good after that trailer and wouldn't mind seeing Wonder Woman.

[avidacridjam]

Calling BvS a reaction to MoS is odd to me, considering that it doubled down on a lot of aspects that drove some people nuts about MoS.

In some articles of the press visits to the JL set, both Zack and Deborah Snyder were quoted as saying that the tonal shift apparent in JL is intentional and was always planned for. Even as a fan of both films, I think such a change was necessary.

Of course, having Geoff Johns on charge of DCCU direction as of late helps.

[volvocrusher]

But still, for all the collateral damage that happened, BvS was very insistent in informing us everyone's aware of the damage, which MoS lacked. Batman's motivation was caused by the battle of Metropolis and they kept clarifying that no one was in the area when they fight Doomsday. I can't imagine those pieces would be a part of BvS if MoS wasn't so heavily criticized in that regard. Especially since WB made it really clear they didn't go into MoS with a plan, they went in hoping they could make one if it was successful after GL bombed.

[volvocrusher]

I can't say I'm exactly anticipating this movie, but the Deadpool director is now doing the live action/CG hybrid Sonic the Hedgehog movie and I have no idea what's real.
