fluhartz Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 You know I was referring to the LOTR movies, right? :) :facepalm: @myself.. lol I usually catch shit like that... I really did see something that said Jackson wasn't going to be involved with anything else with this series.. I guess that's all I had going on in my head...

|Montana Bengal| Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I am looking forward to watching the last one (hopefully this weekend). I've been torn between following the book and it needing to be a good movie. Is the extra necessary? I do think that the extra stuff is a good thing. Somewhere Jackson commented that he wanted to include stuff in the appendices because if he didn't we'd never see it on film. Are they long? Do they stray a bit? Yeah, but I am glad to get to see some things we normally wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I am glad to get to see some things we normally wouldn't. Probably 70% of the 3rd movie isn't actually in the book. They're from the appendices of the Lord of the Rings or completely new. I think its smart. The Hobbit was a kids movie. Adding more grown up stuff from the appendices strengthens the story and appeal of the movies. I thought it was pretty good, but fell short of being an epic ending to the Middle Earth saga. I was a little under the weather though so I don't think it would be fair to judge it without seeing it again. IMO they could have tightened it up a bit. They went too heavy handed with the Alfred stuff, and even a little on the Thorin madness. It's probably one of the shortest of all 6 movies, and IMO they could have cut about 3-4 minutes, though I have some ideas of where I think it would have been cool to add those minutes back. [spoiler] would have liked to have seen them give Beorn another minute or so of kicking ass. That would have been epic. I'd have also given another minute or two to the Gandal/Galadriel/Elrond/Sarumon stuff.[/spoiler] On a side note, saw Gone Girl over the weekend. Great flick.

Jason Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Finally saw Exodus, Gods and Kings today. Kind of wish I hadn't. I knew it wasn't going to be biblically accurate, but I didn't think it would be THAT far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Noah was different, but not in a bad way so much. The only thing wrong with the movie Noah IMO is that by the end of the movie you were rooting against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1:05 mark is one of the bigger DC movie critics: http://thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/tregza/haters-of-the-lost-ark Of course, it was taken out of context, but damn, it's funny.

Jamie_B Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I did think it was funny though that they said it was the most anticipated movie of the year Sorry, no, 2nd maybe, but Star Wars is #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also the fresher brand of the two at the moment. Marvel is riding high in just about everything, Star Wars has skeptics based on the prequels.

SnickyCat Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Speaking of the Avengers, I sure hope this is true! Spider-Man to Reportedly Join the Avengers for Marvel’s Infinity War – Part 1 Movie News By Christopher Campbell on January 14, 2015 I’ve been saying it for a long time: superheroes are the new movie stars, and the issue of these comic book based characters being licensed by different studios is sort of like actors and actresses being contracted with the majors back in the day. Eventually, I figured, the heroes would be on loan and traded between studios for projects much like stars were in the golden days. The analogy still doesn’t work perfectly, but we’re about to see something close enough in practice when Sony allows for Spider-Man to appear in a Marvel Studios feature. According to Latino-Review’s Da7e Gonzalez, the long-awaited deal is done to sling ol’ web-head over into the world of The Avengers. Reportedly the window was missed for Spidey to appear in next year’s Captain America: The Civil War, as he does prominently in the comics version, so instead he’ll make his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 in 2018. Whether the role will be huge or not is unclear, as he could very well just be a part of an awesome ensemble of characters that includes just about everyone from Marvel’s Phase 3 movies to the studio’s Netflix series — but not original Avengers players Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk or Thor, whom Gonzalez believes may all be in space or dead (or both?). He has some additional spoilery details and speculation in his post, which is an essential read if you don’t mind knowing so much. What will this mean for Sony’s own Spider-Man franchise? It would seem to kill Amazing Spider-Man 3 and any of the studio’s other plans for that universe, but I don’t think that has to be the case. Andrew Garfield wouldn’t be the man behind the Spidey mask for Marvel, but for sure he could continue in his own series. It doesn’t have to be anymore confusing than Warner Bros. having Batman in their DC Universe franchise and in Lego movies and in other unrelated animated features. Or for Sherlock Holmes to be Robert Downey Jr. here and Benedict Cumberbatch over there and tons of people before them. It will be hard to make sense of for some people, probably, but not enough that they’ll mind. For them it’s just more Spider-Man, and it helps that he’s a character with a mask so as not to remind too much that it’s a different actor. Marvel might not even bother with the Peter Parker part of the role in Infinity War. I don’t think they’d need to. Heck, they don’t even need to cast anyone for the part, if that’s the case. Movie stars are done, anyway. It’s all about the costumed superheroes. http://filmschoolrejects.com/news/spider-man-joins-avengers.php#UASzGsqMg2Ivqeyx.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
