Film Fanatics - Chat Thread II

Wow, nice.

I'm trying to figure out whether my friends would be up for going.



Is this a 'this film was so damn emotional' suicide or a 'they have utterly ruined the film' suicide?

Looks alreeet, Chris Evans is a great actor and will make a good Human Torch/Captain America, or as I've called him before 'HumanTorchAmerica'

Thor will probably be the comic book film of the year though imo

Coming round to the idea of these films referencing each other, and ultimately leading onto The Avengers.



Over the Green Lantern?

I dunno, X-Men: First Class looks promising. Matthew Vaughn is a pretty good director, and anything that explores the relationship between Magneto and Xavier (one of the most interesting in comics, imo) is aces in my book.

This. Green Lantern is going to flop massively and the Avengers films will be met with the apathy that greeted Iron Man 2. X Men looks incredible comparatively.

Hmmm wouldn't be so sure, I don't think it will be a commercial flop, it will be a flop in the eyes of most comic book fans I imagine but Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively should be sure to pull in big enough audiences

Depends on peoples' appetite for comic book films this year, it will be the 4th out after The Green Hornet and Thor, X-men First class so yeah

The Avengers films needs better direction and time on production, they've apparently already started filming it... and they switched the actor playing Bruce Banner / The hulk again, stupid

*Scratch that, TGL will be the 5th comic book film out if Captain america's out July 4th... lol

When I said flop massively I meant critically and in terms of general opinion rather than commercially, which isn't easy to predict, often carries less weight and is far less interesting (in my mind, anyway).

Lol yeah fair enough then, just like I am Number Four *shakes head in dissapointment*

What superhero film are you most looking forward to this year anyway

Yet to be seen, I still doubt the Avengers is making a wise move by being released next summer (I think it's too soon but meh)

but yeah, yet to be seen. I like the Green Lantern trailer, looks great but Thor has blown me away - it just looks hands down like it will be more entertaining and possibly more faithful to the comic

I remember when TGL trailer came out, loads of people were slating it, saying it looked crappy, cliché etc meh

Jeez, 2012 is going to be the biggest year in comic book film history, is it not?

You have the juggernauts; Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, the combination of Marvel heroes in The Avengers and in the background (being squashed to death by the juggernauts) Wolverine 2 and Ghost Rider 2.

It's not a sure thing that Wolverine's going to be released at all now, let alone next year.
