I think they covered their basis pretty well, as far as Marvel lore is concerned. Though a few things stood out to me as being strange, but still very entertaining (Proj2501 said:That and when Black Widow had Cap throw her in the air and she slickly landed on a hover-craft-thing. What's timing???
Tiny things aside, there wasn't much to complain about. Then again, I'm not an authority on anything Marvel at all. So there may be issues I'm unaware of.
NightCrawler said:After the success of the Avengers i just wish Marvel starts making better X-Men movies (First Class was a good start). Avengers is fun and all, but their villains lore is not as interesting imo.
NightCrawler said:Griffith, watch Cabin in the Woods.
Johnstantine said:Marvel doesn't have 100% say in X-Men or Fantastic Four since the rights are owned by Fox. So, until they acquire the rights, don't expect gold from those two titles
Johnstantine said:(First Class being the only good one).
Johnstantine said:I've never been a big fan of Whedon (hated Firefly), but this was definitely one of the better films I've seen in the past few years.
Griffith said:Can't confirm this, but from what I've read they'll never get those back unless they become unprofitably toxic, and even then they'd probably have to pay top dollar (than again, it's Disney doing the negotiating/paying now). Heard the deals are as long as Fox or Sony use the properties at least once every number of years (like 5) they retain the rights. Thus, The Amazing Spider-Man, just in time to renew their contract! So yeah, we'll definitely be getting more X-Men too.
It's definitely the best film obsensibly about X-Men, but it completely wonks with all the chronology, characters, lore, and themes, which the first two X-Men movies at least tried to do justice, just not in as good a movie(s). That's why I see X-Men, X2, and First Class as complimentary films that make each other better and are more complete as a whole. So, unless they're going to do something that's faithful on The Avengers level, I think we've got more than enough X-Men movies (at least two more than we need, which shall remain nameless). BTW, it's been mentioned before, but Whedon almost directed the third X-Men movie, since it was partially based on comics he'd written, but alas...
Not speaking of which, check out this Whedon writing credit... Alien: Resurrection!
Johnstantine said:First Class and X-Men two are great, but I prefer the former over the latter any day. It just struck a good chord with me. I've seen X-2 maybe twice, I think.
Johnstantine said:X-3 was just fucking garbage and, honestly, I believe it tarnished the X franchise's reputation pretty badly. Oh, wait, no, that was Wolverine: Origins.
Johnstantine said:You should feel bad for even bringing that up! We discussed it in-depth (2 seconds worth) already.
Johnstantine said:Also, that whole fiasco of a movie is what turned me off from Whedon in the first place. He blamed everything but the writing for how bad it was.
IncantatioN said:The animated series (recently watched on Netflix) was more humorous and it kinda set the bar for me in terms of quality content + action.
IncantatioN said:The dialog in the movie was the best part. Agree with Walter on the main battle scene towards the end. The opening scene with theis a bit lackluster as well, too choppy and rushed. Most disappointing Avenger was'stealing'. The movie was eye~candy fun but over-rated. Tom as Loki = awesome. Favorite fight sequence =Hawkeye ... the guy barely shot any arrows compared to the speed/ mobility of the character in the animated series.Thor vs Iron Man
IncantatioN said:Hawkeye did have some cool scenes in the end, agreed ... but the guy's actually waay cooler and I'm hoping they kinda tap into that in whatever movies they plan for him next.
IncantatioN said:.I didn't expect Natasha to be good [from early promos] but she delivered
There are 2 of them, one after the initial credits and the other right at the end.Death May Die said:I missed the credit scenes in Avengers.
