Some people are critical of Marvel using lesser known directors for the superhero properties–the main one being that they’re cheaper than better known talent. This relates directly to rumors that they’re considering Rick Famuyiwa and Ava DuVernay, for upcoming Marvel projects. And while their relative inexpensiveness is undeniably a factor, I don’t think it’s nearly as important as […]
“For me, one of the signs of a good movie is that it rewards repeat viewing. Avengers: Age of Ulton fits the bill.” I’ve already reviewed Avengers: Age of Ultron here for Moviepilot, though I tend to be easily overwhelmed by spectacle–which this movie has in spades–so I saw it a second time, to better […]
Having just seen Avengers: Age of Ultron–review coming soon–can we just accept one thing: Namely that there is no way on Earth that Batman can take Captain America? Unlike what some people may believe… And while not having seen Zach Snyder’s interpretation of the iconic superhero, there’s virtually no way that he’s in Captain America’s league. […]
It’s kind of incredible to believe, but Marvel’s Avengers: The Age of Ultron is well on the way to breaking even! This is because, while it won’t open domestically till May 1 (though there were showings for critics), its already premiered overseas in 11 foreign markets, where its estimated to earn over $160 million over the coming […]
Josh Trank‘s Fantastic Four just released a trailer, and its…okay. All the elements are there, but it’s coming on the heels of trailers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (still hate that subtitle), Ant-Man and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, so it’s easy to see why it’s a bit underwhelming at this point. As I said, […]
“I’m glad you asked that because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan.” Brilliant writing. It plays on the cliche of movie villains always monologuing, when they should be instead either killing/kicking the ass of whomever they happen to be fighting. James Bond villains are notorious for this (particularly pre-Daniel Craig). […]
Whomever cut this clip deserves some sort of award because it’s THAT GOOD. No longer exclusive to Marvel.com–here’s the new trailer for Marvel’s Ant-Man. And it’s glorious. It has humor, great special effects, and manages to walk that slippery slope that respects the character, while at the same time acknowledging how silly the story actually is. […]
Heck, at least it’s not Daredevil;)
I have learned reading various blogs that most people love Netflix’s interpretation of Daredevil, though they aren’t too crazy about the fact that his suit isn’t closer to the one that appears in the comics. And that’s perfectly valid, though think about it for a moment: If the Netflix series was aiming for anything, it was realism. Sure, a heightened realism, […]
When I saw the Daredevil hallway fight scene–from the Netflix series not the 2003 movie–I was amazed at how fluid the action was, though once I got over my shock, I realized that I have seen it, in a sense, before. Here’s the fight scene from Oldboy, which also takes place in a corridor. […]
