Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted October 25, 2016 Awards Moderator Posted October 25, 2016 Doctor Strange is pretty good. Some amazing crazy psychedelic mental effects work and the reveal of the Infinity Stone at the end got a great, audible reaction from the audience in the screening I was in - including from me! Quote

Watched it last night myself and enjoyed it. Went to see it earlier and found it to be very good. Not the biggest fan of Benedict Cumberbatch, but he is good in this (as are the rest of the cast) and as stated the effects are very good as well. Not the best MCU film (falls somewhere in the middle of the many that have been released), but it is a solid 7/10. Quote
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Got a rare weekend off this weekend so I'm planning to go see Doctor Strange on Saturday, happy to see it's getting favorable reviews. I know next to nothing about the character, save for his appearance in the 90's Spiderman cartoon so I'm taking the same open minded approach to the film as I did with Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man (two of my favorite MCU films) Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 New Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.2 trailer. I can't wait for this, and Big Dave looks like he could play another blinder https://youtu.be/dW1BIid8Osg Quote
The King Of Swing Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Looks like great fun. Don't think I could ever tore of that cast pissing about every couple of years. Quote
Merzbow Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 As someone not too keen on Marvel I enjoyed the first a hell of a lot, Drax stole the show and can easily do it again. Didn't they give him extra lines throughout shooting as he was just so good? Quote
dopper Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Cheers Muttons!!! Here, if this cunt doesn't embed, do something. It's the redband! Just as an aside, that guy pictured above with Hugh Jackman is indie wrestler Luke Hawx. Quote
Paid Members Onyx2 Posted January 9, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 9, 2017 I was doing the hat trick for Rogue One on Friday and I was a bit puzzled by a trailer for a new Spider-Man film this year, apparently under the Marvel films banner. https://youtu.be/xrzXIaTt99U I thought Spidey films now sat with Sony hence the recent pointless reboots to renew their licence. I overhead somewhere Marvel were allowed to use him if he was in an Avengers film, but this new flick is clearly a solus arachnid adventure. What's the deal here, comic film experts? Quote

Basically Sony and Marvel came to a deal where Spidy can be part of the MCU but still have solo films produced by Sony with Marvel Studios input Quote
Paid Members chokeout Posted January 9, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 9, 2017 Apparently the way it works is: Marvel got to use Spidey for free in Civil war and don't have to pay Sony anything for the privilege. Sony then get to use Iron Man and other MCU characters in their films (and pay Downey silly money apparently) Marvel films, specifically Kevin Feige, also get creative input into the films as they now exist in the MCU. Whoever makes the film keeps the profits. Although it should be noted that either way Marvel makes out like a bandit on the merchandise rights. Quote
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 9, 2017 Awards Moderator Posted January 9, 2017 So if Downey appears in a Spider-Man film, does that count towards the number of MCU films he's contracted for or is it separate to that? Meanwhile, heard this morning that the next Avengers film is filming in Edinburgh at the end of February, which is cool. Quote
Paid Members chokeout Posted January 9, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 9, 2017 As far as I know it's separate because they signed him back up for Civil War and both parts of the new Avengers and he's on a percentage deal. Should imagine Sony would have to make their own deal with him. The money he's apparently been earning for them is insane: Iron Man $500,000 Iron Man 2 $10,000,000 Iron Man 3 $50,000,000 ( percentage deal) Avengers 1 & 2 $90,000,000 Civil War $40,000,000 upfront $200,000,000 for the next two Avengers films (percentage deal) Quote
Paid Members Onyx2 Posted January 9, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 9, 2017 JESUS. Robert Downey Jr was practically unwanted by the early 2000s wasn't he? Had no idea he was perceived as the magnet to these films. Quote
CavemanLynn Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 He was THE guy for THE role. He had so many demons in his past, it was a meta casting for Tony Stark. He's been the lynchpin of the series but hasn't phoned it in because he's a ack-tor. Plus it's arguable the Marvel films rehabilitated his image, and Marvel got him when he was, as you say, practically unwanted, so a good gamble all round. Quote
