I've really liked the Marvel films from the last couple of years and had huge expectations for this, and it was just alright. Plot was convoluted, and I wasn't impressed by Brie Larsson or Jude Law. Or Benning. Samuel L Jackson was alright. Lee Pace was a letdown as well. The equivalents of Korg and Baby Groot were the highlight, so I'd recommend it for them if nothing else. See, maybe it was my low expectations, but I enjoyed. SLJ was great, the effects worked brilliantly in the de-aging. I like Brie Larson as an actress, and I thought she did a great job in this. She does seem like a tit in real life, and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets Norton-ed though as apparently Bob Igor is not a fan, but I found the film to be pretty fun. Middle tier in the MCU.

SuperBacon Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Brie Larson is the greatest person walking the earth and I will fucking fight you anywhere in Essex if you say a bad word about her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has been promoting Go Fund Me's where people were trying to raise money to take under-privillage kids to see Captain Marvel. She was asking her twitter followers to fund various campaigns (there were quite a few). Twitterverse saw this as a way of boosting ticket sales rather then actually trying to improve people in a poor living situation. It came across as a bit Bono-ey. I personally think the best PR would of actually to pay to these campaigns (most were looking to raise less then $10k) herself or through Marvel. But she seems to have a lot of SJW taking a lot of her comments out of context so who knows. Apparently according to some she hates white men, which I have no reason to read anything into because clearly garbage. I find the fact that they are already talking of replacing her after Endgame more interesting. To get Bob Igor to consider replacing you means there has to be something else going on one would wonder. But I thought she was amazing in Room and under used in Kong Skull Island, so I am glad she was so good in this role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, compared to what her peers have done, it is ham fisted. That doesn't mean she's awful, hence my earlier comment saying appears. I think A lot of what is being said is from people who seem to have some real vendetta against her for things she has said over time. So maybe I have just stumbled across to much of this negativity.  An article discuss some of the "issues" here https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/movies/the-real-reason-people-are-hating-on-brie-larson.html/ However, anyone that is doing this because she cannot act is obviously an idiot. I think she has always done well in her roles, even those underwritten. Edited March 11, 2019 by Hannibal Scorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 11, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2019 I don't need to read that article to know the real reason why people at hating on Brie Larson. It's because she's a confident, successful, talented woman who is forthright in her feminism. If that makes her a "bit of a tit" then you're an idiot.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2019 I did click on the article, and the very first line is: "Brie Larson – on a press junket for the highly anticipated upcoming film Captain Marvel – has been the subject of many a Reddit forum and youtube comment space." Didn't read any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep81 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Really good and enjoyable Hong Kong action movie which follows the formula of 'Taken'. The difference being that they kidnap his daughter for her heart (literally) so that they can use it to save the life of the mayor. The great Tony Jaa also stars in a supporting role and had a very good fight scene, wish he was in the movie more though. Good, enjoyable martial arts action. I liked it.

WyattSheepMask Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 So out of the $455million that Captain Marvel did in its opening 5 days, how much of that was from gofundme campaigns in an attempt to “boost ticket sales”?, which it obviously desperately needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
