    The Marvel/Sony Superhero Movies Thread

    Marvel today released the theater dates for their upcoming movies.

    Iron Man 2 - April 30, 2010
    Thor - June 4, 2010

    The interesting bit? The Avengers is a two-parter, but combined with Captain America.

    The First Avenger: Captain America (that's what they're calling it) - May 6, 2011
    The Avengers - July 2011

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    I don't know much about these properties, but I like the idea of the release schedule for The Avengers films.

    I'm only really excited about Iron Man 2.

    Never been particularly interested in Thor.

    Captain America is a great character, but I anticipate a bad movie.

    And I'm thinking The Avengers movie will be much better in concept than in execution.


    But hey, they've just begun development stages on all of these, so I'll wait and see.

    I thought they already were confirmed. I'll wait until casting and directors are made before I make any judgement.

    The Captain America/Avengers idea sounds neat on paper.

    Well, Matthew Vaughn is doing Thor and Favreau is doing Iron Man 2. And it's looking likely that he'll take on The Avengers.

    Sweet. At least that confirms that Cap's film will take place in WWII.
    Sure why not?

    STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
    THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7

    LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8

    They should cast MM for Thor. Because then I'd have more reason to careless about it.

    Uhhh...apparently pro wrestler Triple H is in the running to play Thor.

    As a wrestling fan, I think it's badass,
    but as a movie fan, I don't think it'd be good.

    Hulk 2 (working)

    Quint: Great well what about a potential HULK sequel? Gale Anne Hurd’s been going around talking about how you might be The Leader and the main villain of the next one.

    Tim Blake Nelson: That’s the plan. That’s what they tell me, but I don’t know when that’s happening or what the details are but I am eager to do it and I hear that’s in the works. I would tell you if I knew more, but I honestly don’t.

    Quint: Yeah, but you haven’t played a comic-book villain yet right?

    Tim Blake Nelson: No, but I had a great time doing HULK, so if they want me for HULK 2 I’m there, it certainly was the plan going into HULK 1. When I met with them they said this is where it’s headed so I’m eager to do it.
    I felt the new hulk was completely mediocre.

    If by mediocre, you mean sucky, then you are correct.

    I like Tim Blake Nelson, but The Leader is uber lame. Meh. I'd like it better if they had not cut out all the Doc Samson scenes and then expand him for the sequel. What a dumb move there, eliminating the more interesting parts of the movie in favor of dumb CGI wrestling. No wonder Norton threw a hissy fit.

    Maybe they can bring Omar in the mix since he was just an extra in the last one. Heh

    Omar with the radiation.

    Yeh, I'd never watch it again so that pretty much qualifies as sucking.

    The ending fight was very weak and like you said, a CGI mess.

    Truth.

    And yes, I just called truth on you liking the movie.

    I meant to go with "I liked the new movie, too."

    Both movies are extremely watchable, but blah. I just don't like the character of Hulk that much. Give me something rooted in reality such as The Dark Knight. At least the drama becomes palpable, the action genuinely thrilling.

    This is pretty much the opposite of my thoughts (Though I do like Dark Knight). Reality sucks.

    I really don't see how reality makes action more thrilling.

    It's the filming of the action, and the connection you have with the characters involved.

    I liked the last 10-20 mn of The Incredible Hulk, and that was it.

    Maybe it's a personal thing Meg so don't get all defensive on my ass. Nevertheless, is it entirely wrong for me to say that a character such as Iron Man or Batman is far more vulnerable than The Hulk? Sometimes I think there's a reason why The Dark Knight is referred to as a crime movie, allowing it to escape its (inherently?) pulpy origins. I think the character of Wayne/Batman lends itself to that. The likes of Hellboy and Hulk seem more colorful and overblown by comparison. I'm sure this rule isn't etched in stone - Jackson turned a giant gorilla into a jaw-droppingly expressive and vulnerable creation - but the Hulk movies haven't really achieved the same. It strikes me as a far bigger challenge to turn something like Hulk into a resonating and powerful motion picture. I feel that is easier to accomplish within the Batman universe.

    I think some of these movies will be pretty good and some of them will be pretty bad.
