Jamie_B Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Saw the new Borne, it was decent but it was a bit disjointed in that they were trying to tell the story of what happened with Borne at the same time as telling the Cross story, but didnt connect them at all in this film, which means I'm sure another will be coming but because they didnt connect them in this one, the movie comes across as disjointed.

Lewdog Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I've kicking around the idea for awhile to write a movie treatment about the USS Indianapolis. The USS Indianapolis was made famous in the movie Jaws when the ship captain told his story of being a shipman on it. Well I started to do some research and found a lot of cool facts, but unfortunately I also found out Robert Downey Jr. and his wife are in the process of making the movie.

CincyInDC Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I watched Flash Gordon (1980) for the first time in a few decades because of Ted. It was a good move.

Lewdog Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 As cheesey as Flash Gordon was, it had one hell of a sound track. Dale was ok looking in that movie, but I would definitely doink Ming's daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 [quote name='PutWittyNameHere' timestamp='1351001690' post='1173972'] I'm very interested to see how the Mandarin translates to the big screen. [/quote] looks like they are making him more realistic. Read this yesterday. [quote [font=arial][size=3][url="http://marvel.com/universe/Mandarin"]In the comic books[/url], The Mandarin was a Chinese exile who ventures into a remote, forbidden valley and discovers a crashed alien spaceship. Inside the ship are ten rings, each with a different power, which allow him to seek revenge on a world he considers unjust. But this version of The Mandarin will not follow that same backstory, said Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios. Don’t expect aliens, even though [i]The Avengers[/i] and [i]Thor[/i] opened up this unified cinematic world to the presence of extra-terrestrials. [i]Iron Man 3[/i] will be more about a clash of technology, Feige says and those who have been paying close attention to the previous two films know that The Ten Rings is a term for the terrorist group that [url="http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120529141403/marvel-cinematic-universe/images/2/2d/Tony_captured.png"]kidnapped Tony Stark in the first movie[/url], and gave the villain Whiplash some assistance in the sequel. In that way, The Mandarin (who for a time was going to be the main villain in the first film) has been a part of the Iron Man series from the beginning, albeit as the off-screen manipulator. “A lot of this movie is about characters going back into the shadows for various reasons and characters who have been in the shadows coming out and into the light for the first time,” Feige says. “It is Tony who, for various reasons, finds himself receding into the darkness. I don’t mean emotional darkness, I mean literally ducking out of the spotlight. And we’ll see other characters stepping up who have pulled strings from the background, starting to show their hand.”[/size][/font] [font=arial][size=3]Kingsley is not, of course, Chinese, but Feige says they wanted to blur the background of this version of The Mandarin. “It’s less about his specific ethnicity than the symbolism of various cultures and iconography that he perverts for his own end,” Feige says. From his samurai hair, to his royal robe, to his bin Laden-esque beard, and the AK-47 he keeps at his side, Kingsley’s interpretation is a hodgepodge of various warrior motifs. In his attempt to rid the world of its oppressors by replacing them, The Mandarin considers himself a twisted version of absolute good.[/size][/font] [font=arial]“Don’t all good villains?” says Feige.[/font][/quote] [url="http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/10/22/iron-man-3-the-mandarin-first-look/"]http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/10/22/iron-man-3-the-mandarin-first-look/[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewdog Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah I read on Yahoo that instead of him being an Asian version of a Bad Batman, they are trying to make him multi-cultural. The trailer makes it seem as if the suit comes to life itself. I wonder if War machine makes another appearance in this movie. *Spoiler Alert* He does I looked it up on IMDB and list Don Cheadle as Rhodes and War Machine.

[/quote] I'm a little worried about the suit coming to life, thing. I know comic books are all about the cliches, but I find the old "Superhero fights his doppleganger" scenario a little tired and uninteresting. I loved the first Iron Man, but my stomach turned a little bit when Iron Man told Pepper to overload the reactor. I mean, seriously? Overload the reactor? That ranks right up there with "Reverse Polarities!" as far as cheap superhero solutions go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewdog Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 The whole Nano technology makes things odd. When the suit comes to life a I don't if it is somehow Stark, Rhodes, Nano, or a comic book guy called the Patriot. I guess we'll no more later on.

It's not bad, but it doesn't really break any new ground and feels like a rehashed standard storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't really make it for a young crowd, and you don't typically see animated movies made specifically for the teen/adult crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
