KingOfMetal Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Even I haven't read Guardians of the Galaxy and I read at least 3 graphic novels a month. I'm intrigued by the film, I'm sure it will be great but I don't know what people are getting so excited by in the trailer, it doesn't show much (not that that's a bad thing). I think people are just excited by it because of the hype and they like the Marvel cinematic universe. I'm not keen on the use of the cheesy song, I hated it in Iron Man 3 and I'm not feeling the use of cheesy music here. Does it even tell you what the basic storyline is? I know it gives a rundown of characters and they have been arrested, but it doesn't tell you why. I can assume there are more in-depth trailers to come Edited February 19, 2014 by KingOfMetal Quote

It's introducing the characters and getting people interested in it. Still a long way to go before release. Don't want to blow your load too soon. Quote

I can assume there are more in-depth trailers to come No, that's why I'm surprised everyone seems to be going crazy for the trailer, unless they're just pumped for seeing John C Reilly and Peter Serafinowicz together, or blown away by the wackiness of a raccoon and tree in a team together. Don't get me wrong, I'm really looking forward to it but I'm just surprised that was the trailer everyone's going crazy for. Quote
KingOfMetal Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Just had a look at the release date. I didn't realise it was still so far off. Makes sense that they don't give too much away now Quote
King Pitcos Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Brilliant trailer. This is what a superhero film should be like, not some dour knob being all moody while running round in black fancy dress. Quote
KingOfMetal Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 After a final rewrite to the script and a long casting process, Fox looks to have assembled the team for its Quote
Loki Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Why? Why reboot? They had a decent cast for the last two. Never heard of Guardians Of The Galaxy, but any film that has Duane Benzie in is good with me. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 20, 2014 Paid Members Posted February 20, 2014 It's being based on the Ultimate universe? Well, that's really quite shit. Quote
Loki Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Why is that shit? Aren't all the films in their own version of Marvel anyway? Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 20, 2014 Paid Members Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) The Ultimates universe in the comics/graphic novels is home to some of the shittest work I've ever seen from Marvel. The UU version of The Avengers, The Ultimates (I think it was the inaugural Ultimate Universe piece), has Giant Man/Hank Pym as a wife-beating coward and, worse yet, The Hulk as a mass-murdering, cannibal rapist with the brain of a hormonal teenager. It's all just a bit shite, really. I wouldn't mind if the films were in their own worlds - but if they're basing it on the Ultimate version, I can't say I'm instilled with confidence.

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted February 20, 2014 Author Paid Members Posted February 20, 2014 The Avengers was the best Ultimates so that's a strange one to cite, Spider-man being a 13 year old mixed race kid because Peter Parker died was far worse. I think the age of the new casting of the Fantastic Four is a strange thing for people to whinge about, they're all approaching thirty, that's not that young, we're just getting old. The worst thing about the new casting is Miles Teller's face, I've never seen him in anything but he looks so punchable. Ugh. Also Billy Elliott as The Thing is Bizarre, it's a good opportunity to cast someone fat or old or ugly who doesn't fit the superhero mould but they went with Jamie Bell which seems strange. Quote

He looks like a fire damaged Shia LeBeouf Outside of the original Ultimate's books I haven't read much of the Ultimates universe but I thought they all still have a similar look to the original fantastic four (especially The Thing) unless they are gonna do a full Motion Capture / Hulk route with Bell I cant see how he can play that character. Also The Hank Pym being a wife beater comes from the original comics doesnt it? Quote
Guy Bifkin Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I think they've missed a trick with The Thing.. Quote
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted February 20, 2014 Author Paid Members Posted February 20, 2014 They're definitely doing a full CGI mo-cap Thing, that's been the plan since the beginning, Jamie Bell did Tintin so he knows how to act mo-cap I guess but it's still a weird choice, Thing is historically a Brooklyn tough guy and has always sounded like one.
