Marvel Movie Missteps
Ok, so here's a thread that I thought up while chatting with our recently bi-millennial posting Doc Doom. What about specific Marvel movies don't you like? Is it the fact that Peter Parker has organic webbing? Is it the fact that the plot of Hulk was so convoluted you have to be half stoned to get it? Is it that Kingpin was played by Michael Clark Duncan? What about casting? Who should have played Doom? MJ? Daredevil? Well here's the thread...so let's go!

Spider-man was boring as hell.
|
movie Elektra nuff said
|
Ok...I'll join the short posts and say "WTH! Howard teh Duck!"
|
I'd really like to see a Deadpool movie!:evilgrin:
|
Yes! We need that very badly. As a species.
|
Cutting all the good parts of Daredevil out of the theatrical cut that gave the story some meaning.

Fine with me. Infact, it's removed one of the lamest plot devices from the stories. "Hah, I have you now, Goblin!... Oh no, no more webbing!!!" - "Run, Spider-Man, run!" Quote:

I feel Elektra and Daredevil were miscast. I don't really care for Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck would have actually looked the part of Matt Murdock, the problem was that he's too famous for a role like that. The rest is fine. Sure, Nip/Tuck Doom is something to get used to, but he didn't do a bad job. Besides, we don't really know what Doom looks like without his mask these days. |
I didn't like/hated/ felt disgusted by:
- Kirsten Dunst as MJ - the fact that Pete takes off his mask every two minutes in Spider-Man 2 - some extremely cheesy dialogue in Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 - the Goblin's costume - almost everything about "Hulk" (acting, plot, special effects, dialogue etc etc.) - most of X-Men - Juggernaut in X-Men 3 - Matt Murdock vs. Elektra - Colin Farrell as Bullseye (I like Farrell but not as Bullseye) - Jennifer Garner (not limited to Daredevil) |

It's a comic movie. Not every one of them is going to Timm's Batman or Batman Begins, and I prefer it that way |
I loved the two Spider-Man movies. I don't think I have any complaints about them.

As for Juggernaut. I think they were going with Ultimate-verse Juggy. I like him as a good guy tho in 616. IMO tho the best Comic book film in the last couple years is most definatly Batman Begins. :evilgrin: |
Doom in the movie just doesn't have the presence you'd expect from Doom, that's my problem.
Again, I haven't seen the movie, but I haven't encountered anything about it that makes me think otherwise. |

Peter has organic webbing now because of that Evolution story; for 60 years prior to that, it was all mechanical webshooters from his own mind. One of the reasons that a lot of fans clamoured for the webshooters in the films was because it showed Peter's scientific prowess, and also gave him a weakness whenever he ran out of cartridges. It made him more human than superhuman. My only beef with Juggernaut is that he didn't consider Xavier in any way in the movie. Also, he's not a mutant. He was jealous of Xavier's powers. That alone is why he became a villain; that was his drive. The Gem of Cytorakk became a great catalyst for that. Also, despite how good Batman Begins was, the best comic book film in my mind is The Crow, next to Sin City. |
Things I didn't like:
Spider-Man(2): -Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst; Maguire has zero charisma and Dunst is just annoying -Both movies being really corny at times (Don't do the 'But it's based on a comic book' thing, just don't) -Power Ranger Goblin and Raptor-Tentacle Ock Both movies are good for what they are, just not my cup of tea. DareDevil: -Everything. What a trainwreck. Fantastic Four: -Loser Doom -Loser Doom's voice -Loser Doom's frickin' metal wang at the end The entire movie was pretty crappy, but I liked it anyway. XMen 3: -Yeah, pretty much everything except Beast, sad to say. XMen 1, 2, Hulk and The Punisher are all far from perfect, but they're solid and I like them. |
I hate the Spider-Flicks, and a bunch of you ****s on this board gave me guff for saying what was wrong with those movies, but its funny that theyre being said here, like I didn't say what you all said YEARS ago.
And I'm sorry, people have been bitching about Venom possibly being in the movie since SM2 came out, and saying he wouldn't be. And anyone who wanted him was an idiot, or clearly didnt read the comics. ******** on that, my friends, I ****ing adore Venom, I read comics almost religiously. I think if anyone can do it, Raimi can do venom justice. I also think Topher Grace will be good as Venom, hell he can't be worse than McGuire as Spider-Man (AGAIN, I've stated that since the beginning!). And all these people who bitched about Venom are like "OMG, Venom is announced, so coooool." **** you, pals. Anyway. X-Movies, pretty good, 3 had some issues, but what the hell ever, I enjoyed it. More than I can say about stupid Elektra/Catwoman/other ****** comic movies I haven't seen. Director's Cut of DD makes sense, hopefully the film companies let Johnson make sense of Ghost Rider and not edit the **** out of it. Punisher was perfect, aside from ****tard Travolta. He hasn't done anything good since Look Who's Talking. |

Right And whilst a pile of overrated s*it like Venom is being placed in a film Rami never wanted him in, the only good thing to come out of it was that Sam convinced the studio to give him Gwen Stacy in exchange for binging Venom, which of course makes the true Spidey fans much happier. |

And back to organic webbing, I agree with Krow, it was something Peter developed, that's what made the synthetic webbing and shooters cool. What's going to make the Venom symbiote so special if Peter already has organic webbing? |
