Movie review thread...

Baby Driver
So, i guess it looks kinda cool, and has a great soundtrack, but really, that's about it. The movie finished, and i turned it off, and aside from this very short review, i will probably never think of it again. There just wasn't much to remember, and certainly not much in the way of "new".
John Hamm's latino missus was fiiiine as a motherfucker

@mariner4life Eiza Gonzalez, I posted a pic of her in another thread and you told me not enough skin.

So, the new Avengers
I liked it, but...
It was almost too big. Too many characters; too many locations; too many plot threads. The did an admirable job keeping it coherent, but the problems were not their own making. By making all of the Marvel movies slightly different (Guardians is a comedy, so is Thor now i guess, some are darker, some are lighter) meshing the characters together can be pretty difficult. And it was weird to go from a dark scene where a bunch of people got straight up murdered, to the Guardians taking the piss out of each other.
It also really affected Tony Stark, who used to be the sarcy funny one, but now, with the Guardians in the same movie, seems like a snide jerk-off.
Thanos and his magical dark elves were pretty cool, if a little clunky in the CGI
:::
I liked the end, it surprised the fuck out of me. But if you are going to do that, i need to know you have a plan to end it, and you're not winging it (a year from now apparently).
And i guess that ending pretty much writes the Marvel schedule for the next 12 months.
It's a little terrible that economic realities lead you to the conclusion there is no way Marvel are just allowing the investment they have made in those characters to literally blow away in the wind. Especially when they already have sequels announced!

That's exactly the response I think they want mate. It leaves you hanging to see how the next film plays out. It's already going to be a smash hit!!!

@canefan hasn't this one already made all the money?

Pretty much my feeling too, they did film Avengers 4 at the same time, they are refusing to release its title as its a potiental spoiler.
Some combos didn’t work but did enjoy Thor ( pirate angel) with the Guardians
Thought Thanos was very well done too( effects by NZ’s Weta workshop btw)
Thought it was well done with him and Gamora.
Overall thought it was way better then Age of Ultron but lacked the cool/wow factor of the original Avengers movie. -

Yup. And the next one will keep on taking too. They left it wide open, I expect big things from the next film in terms of closing plot lines etc

@canefan yea, and then

they'll get the time stone, and reset the clock, and we will all kick the fuck off.

Shit yea. There is no way they are killing all those characters off. Everyone will be back. Probably even the green chick Gamora, even though she got thrown off that cliff. My question though, if Captain Marvel kills the purple dude, then they turn back time, don't they bring him back to life or can they selectively alter time?

Driving home tonight I heard someone mention it on the radio so thought I'd give it a hoon. Christ what a load of shit, an absolutely BULLSHIT plot ( completely forgetting the two leads have different face shapes and body types ), Cage and Travolta at their hammy worst and ridiculous action scenes in which the lead guys barely get a scratch when the others conveniently fall down dead.
I took one for the team so you all don't have to bother.

I watched it years ago while under the influence of alcohol and poor taste. I thought it might be fun to watch again. Big mistake.

I suspect Dr Strange handed over the stone because the one alternative in which they win involved him doing so. What I don't understand is why he didn't control time in the first place and send the bugger back to wherever he came from.

That film just takes the piss at every level. The stupidest part is that while Travolta gets his life back, dozens of innocent people are killed in the process.

Then he adopts Cages kid ?!?!?! What the actual fuck?
How many bullets do you reckon they fired at each other throughout the movie?
-
92% on Rotten Tomatoes ... which does actually surprise me! I'm in no way as far out as you MN5 but there was some seriously bullshit plotlines which need to called on
Adopting the kid at the end
Jumping from the oil rig, next scene he's on landJust to name 2.
