Well this is annoying as I still have a couple of films to do of recent purchases and I do need to get around buying others too.
I do like talking about films and analyzing them provided some intelligence has gone into making them.
Or some twat director or write thinks he is bigger and better than the person who came up with the winning formula, changes everything, the film BOMBS OUT and studios are shit scared to spend the money on that are any other similar thing from the same stable?!
Thank heavens that is now well and truly over now?!
So a successful Man of Steel would mean a sequel and a Justice League movie and this appears to be happening. Was worrying when no sooner had these two films got the green light, from a Green Lantern per chance, that MoS suffered a big drop in takings. Big being an understatement that is!
Still I though that it would then level out for awhile and having staying power while those (fools?) that jumped in to watch something else upon its release a week later, then went and watched Superman the following week. Who knows but it did pass the $500 Million mark and for a movie that took a big drop in America the following week is something of a surprise.
What I have found amusing is some of the disagreements that have broken out in various forums whereas if the speclate that it may make more money than some OTHER hero, like one of Iron Man's movies for instance then fans of those movies break out in a cold sweat and react as if they just caught you in bed with their mother?! I mean really over the top stuff, name calling mud slinging, God I really do hate forums. Even when you are so narked by something someone says that you want to go in and cool the situation or put the record straight they will call you a troll!
A troll was given to someone who just goes around forums looking to go in and cause trouble but everybody takes these terms over time and starts flinging them about like it is fashionable to do so?! Lol.
I missed clips of the new Wolverine film and hope that one is better than the last one?! Next up is the X-Men Days of Future Past but I really hope that they do not screw this up, like Bryan Singer did with Superman Returns. Though not a bad movie it should have been better and yes well doing the disappearing act and super son was together a bit much and acted like too much of a dork as Clark Kent for me. Days of Future Past really is one of the most important and classic stories in X-Men's history but at least there were several. I am just confused why it is Bryan Singer and not the guy that did X-Men:First Class when that was so popular and successful?
Get it wrong and I think I know what will happen, there will be a backlash from the fans, especially as The Avengers movie now exists, and they will be forced to give back the rights to Marvel. AT least then after the Avengers sequel they can concentrate on rebooting the X-Men?!
Now despite the fact I want the next film to be bloody fantastic and not another re-write of a re-write of X-Men's history books, the very idea of a Marvel controlled X-Men movie in the making what be enough to cause restless nights and dreams of Alpha Flight, Dark Phoenix and her real death on a moon and that one that took place in space where they are on these huge creatures that double up as ships and travel around....wait a minute that sounds like an episode of something else I watched a couple years back?!
LMAO!
Of the Justice League lot as much as it would be a great idea to stick to the original line up it is entirely possible to bring on no end of other interesting characters besides. Interestingly there is the Justice League Dark group too I only found out about recently. But there were many other great characters that joined up with the Justice League over time. One of which was one whose comic series I bought and that was Firestorm. Oddly enough I see that the current line up in the X-Men has none other that the Marvel version of Aquaman?! He is known as the Sub-Mariner or Namor and there has been talk of a movie with him too!
Of the solo films the Flash would be interesting if done right and so would Wonder Woman. Personally I would like to see another Green Lantern only with a bit more effort put into it. I liked the first movie but I have to agree it could have been better.
Hmm that new Thor: Dark World movie should be out before very long too?!
