Deadpool 2 was great! Deadpool is an idiot, confirmed. There's no hope for him Fantastic music choices, fantastic opening credits, fantastic post credit scenes. I think I still love part 1 more but this is way funnier. Favorites - Domino(good luck is truly an awesome power to have), Cable(why so dark? Are you from the DC universe?), and a surprise villain (don't worry I won't spoil it) When Disney eventually buys Fox, I hope they leave Deadpool in his own little corner. He's literally perfect |
Finally! Lived up to the build up and hype! Fucking worth the wait! Best superhero movie of all time! I'm just so glad I lived long enough to type that, damn. Dream come true What I did not expect was seeing the comic book come to life again. They did the scene in the comic, yes that scene I've never ever seen an entire theater wait till the post credits, ever. Much respect to Thor, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch.....the 3 MVPs. Thanos, best villain ever 10/10 |
100naira:No, at Genesis |
I loved it! Shuri, Killmonger and Okoye killed it. It felt totally different to any other Marvel movie. I like that this movie had a message, if you're not really into Marvel films or superhero movies in general, this one you should definitely see. For comic book fans, the movie looks like a Christopher Priest story while the Black Panther himself is more like Don McGregor'version. In fact this is my only issue with the movie, the type of Panther we got: Priest's BP is always the most devious, cunning person in the room, Hudlin's Panther is the proud Panther who cares deeply about stuff affecting black people - easily the most political Panther version. I'd have been ok if they'd gone either route Instead we get this version of T'challa who is not exactly the smartest, whose main character trait is his resilience, always getting back up to fight after he's been beaten. In my mind that's a Daredevil thing, but maybe he'll grow into the role, he was young in this film. And maybe he'll learn to use the Panther cheat mode of asking his ancestors for advice using the Panther spirit Overall 8.5 for me, best marvel origin story, up there beside Iron Man and that's really high praise |
cao:Yeah, 2 now. Even the rotten reviews still say it's good, like the guy that gave it 3/5. That's reassuring What I'm loving more is the social impact this is having. Kids who've never heard of BP now will, it's making racists insecure, BP is now officially mainstream: he's broken into the general consciousness, like Iron Man did he's now popular enough to be mentioned in the same breath as Spider-Man and Batman. He even got a TIME cover! That's huge, even Batman has never gotten one Oh and Kendrick just dropped a sick album for the film - Black Panther: The Album, favorite track is between Bloody Waters and Opp. Just want to say BP is everything I've dreamed of, only thing remaining is if it can smash the box office and if I love the film |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZNBFcwd7zc Deadpool 2 trailer! Cable looks so badass! Sidenote, how many virgins do you have to sacrifice so you can get to play both Thanos and Cable? Josh Brolin is so lucky |
Man are we blessed! Black Panther is currently on 100% ON RT after 50 reviews and 87 on Metacritic. I especially love the fact that they're saying the black panther mythos was not lost in all the action, and that Michael B Jordan is a dope classic villain. As if my hype levels weren't enough already |
Y'all get ready, the King is coming! #BlackPantherHype |
SIRcumalot:Yeah I have. Really long read, hit some high points for me but at the end I was left feeling unsatisfied. Still a good book though I'd hesitate to call it awesome |
Marvel is killing it! Thor Ragnarok is currently on 98% on RT. That's the highest for any comic book movie. Here's the Critic Consensus: "Exciting, funny, and above all fun, Thor: Ragnarok is a colorful cosmic adventure that sets a new standard for its franchise -- and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe" They're calling it the best Thor movie, the funniest Marvel movie.... I didn't think I could get any more excited. I think we'll all look back at this period as fans and realize how incredibly lucky we were. My only question is does anyone know the release date in Nigeria? I tried searching Silverbird's site but couldn't find anything |
I dread the moment Thor 3 and JL come out and we start another war about which made more money, like who cares? All I wanna know is how come it took both Wonder Woman and Captain America to stop Hitler from winning the war? |
Shittaakeem:Sweet! Can't wait |
Let's take a serious long hard look at the evolution of the most important superweapon in the MCU..... Black Widow's hair ![]()
|
Minemrys:Real stakes isn't all about death, it's about the emotional impact a movie leaves with us. Take for example Superman's death in BvS, does it mean anything when we all know he'll be resurrected in JL? Sometimes a superhero movie about saving your sanity (Unbreakable) is more meaningful than countless other films about "saving the world" |
Shittaakeem:The best part for me is Thanos doesn't even have the complete set of Infinity Stones and he's beating everyone. When the Gauntlet is complete ehn! Thor trailer got me stoked when I saw Surtur and Fenris the Wolf but Infinity War has wiped it from my mind lol |
Potentially huge news from comic con that went under the radar - Captain Marvel villains will be the Skrulls! What this means is that we could have a Secret Invasion storyline! Especially as Nick Fury is in it and it's set in the 90's. Imagine if an Avenger was an undercover Skrull this whole time. Damn!
|
Shittaakeem:Yes! Now Marvel will have to release the proper trailer, it's leaked and there's nothing they can do! Yes! Yes! Yes! |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue80QwXMRHg Thor Ragnarok trailer! Also Infinity War footage got leaked so we might get an *Infinity War trailer* soon! |
Nawa for this thread sha, Comic Con is on and not a single peep. Where have all the Marvel fans gone? New Defenders trailer is out, with Stan Lee, Google it. Punishment for silence |
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-war-planet-apes-scares-spider-man-homecoming-565m-1021569 60% drop, can we now move on please? Guaranteed to make at least 800 mil, nothing to see here |
Personally I don't get the obsession we still have with box office returns. Earlier when the MCU was still new it was pretty important for fans cos a movie doing well guaranteed that A- the company was making profits so we would get more movies and B - To compensate when the movies are really bad/mediocre Now we're at a stage where Marvel is a certified Hollywood brand, where Marvel movies occupy the coveted slot at the start of the summer box office, where it's almost impossible for an MCU movie to flop financially , and we are still worried? Please! Let's leave that for DC fans, they still have cause to worry, our only concern now is that the movies should be good,because they can still flop critically no matter how much money they make 6 years ago when Avengers broke 1.5 billion we were glad cos it was a first. Now if Avengers Infinity War grosses 1 billion its normal, expected. Ant Man grossed 500, that's the worst case scenario that other studios would kill for, most of the others are jealous and waiting for the day cbms will flop, that's why they keep pushing this narrative of fatigue and you keep buying. The fact is that audiences will get tired of comic book movies when they become mediocre or bad, as long as they keep making great movies, people will pay to see them |
waywardpikin:Was at 316 mil worldwide last weekend. They haven't updated it yet, also bear in mind it's yet to open in China, Japan,etc |
cao:Sigh my point stands, have you read the article? Alarming headline, that says that's pretty much normal for a blockbuster this size. Also this was quoting the early estimates, updated weekend holds showed a 60% drop. |
Good Sunday morning motto - Don't spread troll news, spread the word, Thanos is coming!
|
waywardpikin:Easy on the hyperbole, it's already clear they rushed ahead of themselves to deliver fake news. Don't believe everything you read. It's looking likely to gross as much as GotG Vol 2,come on! |
740megawatts:Premature, weekend to weekend drop is what we should be looking out for Edit : and just in, 60% drop. Like I said, premature |
Black Order revealed for Infinity War! Hype! Really excited for Corvius and Proxima Midnight
|
Shittaakeem:At least we know that Loki, Thor and Hulk will survive Thor Ragnarok. Cap version in this film is hopefully Nomad, the spider suit looks like the Iron Spider suit! The Black Panther descriptions had me in awe. We've been waiting for this movie for so long since it was announced, glad to see they are going all out with it. If anyibie deserves end of the world stakes, it's Infinity War. My question is what will part 2 be called? |
