Instead, see the movie if you enjoyed the first film, and want to see the continued story of those characters. Plus, the Awesome Mix for the film has some great songs. It was mostly "meh." The problems the movie has have nothing to do with it not being a direct prelude to Infinity War. The dialogues and the plotting are the problems.    Posted:   May 18, 2017 - 9:19 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) I'm not a fan of GotG--it's another of those surprising third-tier books that became a hit movie--so I don't feel I'll be missing anything if I don't rush out to see it; it'll be a renter, I reckon. Besides, I've been on such a DC Comics kick since last Summer that I would have to severely alter my reading and viewing habits to accomodate Marvel! Is it just me or are the FX in Ant-Man and Civil War inferior to those in MoS and BvS?    Posted:   May 18, 2017 - 4:23 PM     By:   drop_forge   (Member) The Marvel movies (meaning the ones made by Marvel Studios) have grown to look too consistent. They use the same FX house and the same colorist. Sometimes the colors look great. Sometimes they look too washed out. This was very apparent in Civil War. Ant-Man is a cheaper production, but I think the FX looked good during the miniature sequences most of the time. The cinematography was nothing to write home about. The FX and the cinematography of MoS are leaps ahead. BvS has some FX issues, but it's shot better than most of the Marvel movies.    Posted:   May 19, 2017 - 7:14 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) The Marvel movies (meaning the ones made by Marvel Studios) have grown to look too consistent.

The CGI in Zack Snyder films are probably the cheapest crap put out of film. Cartoonish, flat, fuzzy, just garbage effects.    Posted:   May 19, 2017 - 7:14 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) The Marvel movies (meaning the ones made by Marvel Studios) have grown to look too consistent.

I didn't notice until I saw the films on TV. Ant-Man's effects look fine, but the whole film has a Disney or Family Channel vibe about it which I suppose comes with the "warm and cuddly" family aspect of the movie; it's still entertaing. Guess I'm partial to "dark and dreary" DC. I certainly am when it comes to the post-1986 comics I've read (not as many as I would like).    Posted:   May 19, 2017 - 8:08 PM     By:   drop_forge   (Member) The Marvel movies (meaning the ones made by Marvel Studios) have grown to look too consistent.

Those are two of the best CBMs on the market.    Posted:   May 20, 2017 - 5:41 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) The third trailer of any movie shows too much.    Posted:   May 22, 2017 - 3:03 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Rich Buckler, R.I.P. http://diversionsofthegroovykind.blogspot.com/2017/05/rip-rich-buckler.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DiversionsOfTheGroovyKind+%28Diversions+of+the+Groovy+Kind%29    Posted:   May 22, 2017 - 3:26 PM     By:   drop_forge   (Member) Rich Buckler, R.I.P. http://diversionsofthegroovykind.blogspot.com/2017/05/rip-rich-buckler.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DiversionsOfTheGroovyKind+%28Diversions+of+the+Groovy+Kind%29 Saw that this morning. RIP. He created Deathlok! I love that Batman splash page inked by Berni(e)!    Posted:   May 22, 2017 - 4:25 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Buckler did the cover of the first issue of Fantastic Four I remember buying, issue #166, which was a Hulk-Thing donnybrook; a fine fine way to get introduced to the FF.    Posted:   May 22, 2017 - 11:46 PM     By:   Michael Scorefan   (Member) RIP Rich Buckler. I mostly know his work from Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man and Avengers, and I always enjoyed his art.    Posted:   Jul 7, 2017 - 7:08 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Joan Lee, wife of Marvel legend Stan Lee, has died age 93. She and "The Man" were married for 69 years. http://www.thewrap.com/joan-lee-wife-of-stan-lee-dies-at-93/    Posted:   Jul 7, 2017 - 9:31 AM     By:   LeHah   (Member) I distinctly remember her voice from the 1990s Spider-Man (where she voiced Madam Web in an entirely too long multi-episode arc). 92 years on Earth is a damn good run, all things considered, but if my family has taught me anything, the moment one family member goes, the spouse follows in months if not weeks.    Posted:   Jul 7, 2017 - 10:49 AM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) Comicdom Assembled[ owes her immortal gratitude because twas SHE was the profoundly pivotal figure who convinced Smiley to finally do what he'd always wanted when he had nothing to lose (and was probably about to be fired, anyway). The result was nothing short of R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.A.R.Y.    Posted:   Jul 10, 2017 - 2:36 PM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) Lovely informative interview with Marvel’s First Lady…    Posted:   Jul 11, 2017 - 10:10 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Hey Gordo, there's been lots of vibrant discussion over in your DC thread, so why not chime in over there every so often? Your presence there is very much missed, amigo.    Posted:   Jul 28, 2017 - 12:12 PM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) So wot’s the overall consensus in royal retrospect on Marvel’s Epic experiment? Any particular favorites? Ours (especially when the title character started to ominiously utter “My head hurts”) was Followed by Tho we wish (unless our memory totally fails us) THIS had reached the truly epic conclusion that must’ve been originally envisioned:    Posted:   Jul 29, 2017 - 7:56 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Speaking of EPIC memories, wasn't that the realm of Archie Goodwin, editor extraordinaire--The Best Editor EVER according to his peers and staff. EPIC, like so many magazine-sized publications of the 1970s and early '80s that preceeded it, was either too expensive or too sophisticated for the likes of me. Years before, I longed to read those b&w Planet of the Apes issues they had but it was all out of my range financially and intellectually, though I would scan through them during those frequent stops at my local convenience store and newsstand. Dreadstar came along later, when I was a bit older, and it was heavily promoted--Starlin's baby made the cover of MARVEL AGE--and the pose of "Vanth Dreadstar"--it's already too Star Warsy for me just thinking about it. Funny you should mention Jim Starlin, Gordo, as I have been reading his work for The Distinguished Competition lately, specifically his work on DC COMICS PRESENTS, and I've become acquainted with the villainous Mongul, Starlin's "other" Thanos.    Posted:   Jul 29, 2017 - 12:52 PM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) In Appreciation: ARCHIE GOODWIN Writer and Editor Extraordinaire.    Posted:   Jul 29, 2017 - 4:31 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) The Goodwin caricatures look like the work of Walt Simonson, or maybe it's just the two geniuses shared likeness of glasses and facial hair. My childhood association with the kate-and-lamented Goodwin's work was primarily with Marvel's Star Wars xomic book, as well as the beautifully-realized Goodwin-Al Williamson Star Wars newspaper strip, which ran from 1981-84, and which young me used to make tye spcial trip to the local convenience store to purchase the Miami Herald, which carried the strip, whereas the other local South Florida paper my family received did not. Archie Goodwin remains very much missed.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Marvel's Greatest Real Heroes    << < 25 26 27 28 29  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
