Merged: The Movies Thread

Didn't realize they had already gotten everything moving.


The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) - IMDb

I have a bad feeling that this one won't be able to repeat the success of the previous series but then again Spider Man and Batman are easily the best Super Heroe's left when it comes to making movies.

Ever since they described it as Spider-man with a twist of Twilight for the series reboot I told myself I'll wait to Netflix it. As far as Batman goes though, I can't wait to see the first trailer for the new one as they've started filming now. Next year with that and the Avengers movie it's going to be comic book geek heaven.

I'd put the X-Men up there too.

That doesn't count. Thats a group. No one see's a movie called Professor X, or Wolverine Orgins, or Magneto's Way, or Rougeface. However put together an X-Men movie and it's money in the bank

Funny though how they got Dennis Leary. Almost seems like he's a direct replacement for Will DaFoe even though he's playing a different character.

as far as superhero movies go, I can't wait for Green Lantern to come out in June. Hope it lives up to expectations!

I basically see another Fantastic Four. Big name with a concept that just doesn't translate well in this day and age. The Flash seems like it could work though I have no idea what the backstory is of the guy who plays the Flash which is a big part in any Super Hero movie. Plus no one is in a hurry to make a Flash movie.

Aqua man though should be made. All they need is James Cameron to direct and Vinny Chase to play Aqua Man and BAM! So long Spiderman Opening Weekend record.

Not quite sure why it wouldn't translate? a guy with no fear, a romantic interest (who in a sequel could become his archenemy), a great opportunity for visual effects (the ring's power should be highlighted), a "true hero" (let all who worship evil's might, beware the power of green lantern's light, or something like that).

I see it as one that should be visually stunning, and a fair back story of a guy having galactic power thrust upon him.

I obviously only know so much about super heroes but when I look at Green Lantern I still see a guy with a ring. The Super Hero movies that do win big at the box office are the ones that are able to strike a certain balance between fantasy and reality. Thats why I feel X-Men, Batman, Spiderman, and Ironman have all done so well.

On the other hand I feel like the two big Super Hero movies being released this summer (Thor and Green Lantern) delve way to far onto the fantasy end of the spectrum and get away from that balance i was talking about.

Never saw Green Hornet but finally decided to give into the x for a reason excuse. In this case X = Movie Wasteland = Winter Release. Studio's that remotely believe in a Super Hero movie will release it during Summer or at least late spring. January is Hollywood speak for, "even we know this sucks."

Apparently Barry Bonds served as the inspiration for Captain America.

This is going to be ****ing epic!!

I think thats the one my lady wants to see, I heard it is funny as hell so im acting like I think its a chick flick and going to have the movie count as one of her choices (we rotate) even though I want to see it myself.
