Upcoming Superhero Movies

To be fair, that GL footage does look pretty good in places. Well visualised.

beer and this movie will make my evening, someday in the near future.

GL looks awesome

Ok now im interested in the green lantern.

You kidding? I thought the Green Lantern trailer was embarrassingly awful...

Ho hum

yeah that looks terrible to me...

man, am i tripping out or what?

i thought the sin city film was lacking in, something.

it's hard to pinpoint what. it's like that classic complaint of "all style, no substance". only the sin city film actually does have substance. it's still felt like it was missing something for me. i dunno. i love the books, and i liked the film, but i just didnt think it was that great or anything.

preacher movie could be fun, if done riiiight.

let me put this gently -- i do not feel these films will be worthy of my entertainment dollar

i think there is something to be said for the ambitious scope they are going for in Green lantern, but i cant say it looks like a good film just an interesting high budget experiment

You mean in terms of the aliens and that? Bit more over the top than most comic book movies?

green lantern looks terrible, so does thor. Captain America looks a bit shit as well, but not as bad as those two, at least it's homoerotic.

the full Avengers poster from Comic-Con

i really enjoyed Thor i hope his role in the Avengers is pretty substantial, i'm frankly sick of Downey Jr's One-note Tony Stark performance. It still also seems like a rather bad idea to shoehorn Black Widow and Hawkeye into this team. They are clearly really bland characters that barely anyone wants to see on the big screen. It's too bad Marvel sold the rights to spiderman out to Sony, it would probably be a far better spiderman spinoff than the shitty looking reboot with Andrew Garfield

I liked Thor a lot, the main guy was stereotypical boring jock with a heart of gold but the actor playing Loki was next-level awesome. I kept thinking please go back to Asgard every time they went to earth and that fucking stupid romance storyline. Black Swan chick is one of the worst actresses ever. Asgard was so pretty! the bridge, the aluminum robot, v.chill black dude on the portal, even Hannibal was great, it was really exciting.

What we need is a Knights of the Zodiac trilogy. Get Branagh to direct it.

Thor was good and Captain America: The First Avenger was surprisingly good. I had low expectations for that one but they pulled it off. Didn't see X-Men: First Class but heard it was great. Didn't see Green Lantern but heard it was terrible. I think i just want that Avengers movie, and then for them to eventually do the Infinity Gauntlet movie.

xmen first class was better than i expected. I wonder if Marvel studios will ever do the Antman/giantman and/or wasp movie, probably not but it would be a lot cooler than Hawkeye. I hope they do some balls out crazy fight sequences involving thor and hulk. I feel like not since spiderman 2 have we seen really nicely sequenced surreal super hero fighting

Green lantern was terrible but it didn't have to be, even with Reynolds as the lead. The biggest problem with it was the fixation all movie studios have of doing a super hero movie with the majority of it being an origin story.

there were a couple really well done sequences in the Green Lanter, mostly the opening 10 minutes which is basically a fully cgi LOTR movie trilogy style prologue.

After seeing Rango i feel really strongly that if movie studios made an epic dark scifi adventure starring only alien characters, no humans all CGI it could be pretty awesome.

i really prefer movies about secrets that should have remained buried over superhero movies

I finally watched my blu-ray of Iron Man 2 at the weekend, its been sat on my shelf since christmas. Thought it was quite good, retained the humour, had some cool effects, was a typical sequel though by introducing some new characters / extra bad-ass enemies. Overall pretty decent film though.

anyone going to see Captain America, stay after the credits. The Avengers trailer plays.
