Haver Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Movies like Iron Man shouldn't be appreciated as a contribution to the art world but as entertainment and should be watched as a form of entertainment not as a message about some global dilemma. You haven't read my posts, but: It wasn't entertaining. How did Superman and Batman entertain? They had an emotional hook (and also did action well, which IM didn't)...Iron Man's emotional hook is the crisis of confidence, so it follows (on account of the lame action/villians) if the emotional hook were stronger (I.E. IM going out and doing some good) the movie as a whole would have been stronger AND YAR DE YAR DE YAR. I guess you guys will suck up whatever trash they leave for you on the pavement.

Mundi Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Then please explain how it would be better with a stronger emotional hook because it´s apparent that you should know, you know being above us mere mortals and all... When I went to see this movie I expected to be entertained for what it was not enlightened about arms dealing. And from the looks of the posts in the thread there weren't that many looking for that message in the movie. And arms dealing pretty much boils down to common sense Guns: Bad Selling guns to warring nations: Bad too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Well Haver that was just harsh. I didn't see any of the hype, I didn't know anything about Iron Man except he looked kinda dull and stupid. Something that is entertaining does not need to have an emotional hook. Spiderman is entertaining besides any emotional hookup, because it's cool. I hate the emotional rubbish in the movie because it's lame, clichéd and used as a means to an end. Iron Man does away with that nonsense and gives us entertainment. All because you weren't entertained doesn't mean it's fair for you to dig at us for enjoying it. That just makes you seem jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 How did Superman and Batman entertain? They had an emotional hook Superman had no emotional hooks at all. It had no decent plot. It had no good action. It had nothing except awfulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about that....the scene where he saved the plane was awesome.... ...So I was entertained for about 3 minutes of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I kinda hate this run-up to Avengers. Thor doesn't need a movie, he's shite. He's worse than Hulk, as Hulk actualy has the whole psychological aspect to it. They'll try and make a fantasy epic movie of Thor, and I just know it'll fall flat. I'll clap if they include Enchantress though. I don't think they even need a Captain America movie either, but he deserves one more than Thor. Thor has like, no origin story. I'd prefer they hadn't annoyingly tied up the X-men series in X3, so more of them could be made. Wolverine is cool and all, but he's such a boring character. That and X1-3 were basically Wolverine films anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magneto sounds worse as a premise for a film than Wolverine, despite preferring the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally the only thing I´m looking forward to in the Wolverine movie is that Deadpool makes an appearance. Also, Deadpool movie: Greatness.

Happenstance Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I think X-Men 3 was such a shame as it could have been great. I actually really liked the fight scenes at the end of the movie, felt they seemed more epic than we'd had before that. The way I saw it Singer was better at characters whereas Ratner is probably better at the big battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think they will be able to Captain America justice, it could possibly turn out very cheesy and I also dont think they'll be able to get across just how respected he is by other heroes.

Paj! Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hmm, I suppose he does actually deserve one, but they'll have to be careful with it, as it could end up looking sickly patriotic or something. I want an Alpha Flight film... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I was under the impression that Cap'n America was the retard of the sueprhero bunch... How comes? I agree Happenstance, it certainly has the potential to turn out cheesy, but I really think Marvel Studios know what they are doing now. They seem to have some very tight reins on what they will let happen at the moment, and they are weaving a rich tapestry of continuity, and I trust them. I think the Cap film will be sick. Im extremely curious to hear who will play him. Hes basically Marvels Superman Cept' he can be killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iun Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 I grew to like Captain America after reading a few of the Ultimate Avengers comics then going back to the older Avengers issues. Because of the slightly more mature storytelling in the Ultimates line, it gave Cap a little more meat to his story and reason to like him that the early comics were incapable of doing. But after reading Ultimates, I understood at last what they were getting at. Oh and Haver, my apologies that one of the most entertaining movies I've ever been fortunate enough to see does not meet your expectations for art in motion. Everyone has a right to their opinion, and normally yours is quite interesting to read, but for some unfathomable reason, you've got a downer on this one, and I'm sorry.
