Avengers: Infinity War - (warning: Spoilers)

[Popnfresh98]

I did actually really like it the first time but came away feeling like they tried too hard to be super R-rated and that the entire finale in the forest was just silly. I also felt like Logan's death should have been more poignant than it was as it left me a little flat. But I definitely recognized the great acting from the entire cast that far exceeded most other cbm's.

This time the violence and language didn't come off as forced and with tempered expectations I wasn't put off by the ending. I still wish that they didn't show Laura taking out the adamantium bullet so that we as the audience could have done the math that she had it when she blew X-24 away but I really loved that they resisted any over the top heroics and melodrama at the end. Just some quick and dirty kills on both sides, no long speeches, just like real life (so to speak.) Just a great and incredibly unique film (for this genre.)

But yeah I still hold Batman Begins up as the pinnacle of filmmaking craft when it comes to cbm's. It doesn't have Heath Ledger but still is the more elegant and satisfying narrative compared to TDK IMO.

Yeah I was surprised how restrained they were the first time I saw Logan. They kept everything small, no moment was overdone, even prof X dying was kept small without any melodrama as it kept on moving. Logan found the same end.

I do agree the over swearing put me off at first because they just.. unleashed lol

The biggest surprise was how much Manigold nailed it after i found myself really disliking ‘the wolverine.’ He really got the characters and gave them the endings they deserved. Glad Jackman went out on such a high note!

Well 3rd act of BB is notoriously famous for being weaker than the first 2 acts so in a ways it matches Logan in that regard.

TDK doesn’t have a weak act per se but remove Joker and it gets boring real quick PLUS it avoids showing any violence PLUS BB has the better batmobile action scene PLUS Dent’s turn is rather dubiously handled so I can see why Khev prefers BB over TDK.

TDK has a superb last 4 minutes but honestly who really talks like that (Gordon’ speech) lol

Logan wins hand down when it comes down to violence.

Rambo 4 has Logan beat though in the violence dept ha ha Wolverine.

C’mon dude even you know you can’t take apart movies piece by piece and then critique them like this lol

What if someone said ‘remove Thanos from infinity war?’

And who talks like that? Every single time he talked there was another huge monologue (I understand the reasons why though)

Keep in mind I’m not complaining, thanos was the best part of the movie. It just doesn’t make sense to argue films this way.

I kid I kid best Pirate movie ever, scratch that, best movie period based off an amusement park ride.

I know Depp is not well liked but he was amazing in that movie.

Oh god -- Jye's having one of his anti-this meltdowns again.

Sorry everyone, "Fury Road" is a huge trigger for Jye. His doctors and I have spoken to him about it. Were working on a solution.

Might be in need of a Khev intervention.

See, Jye. New people doesn't understand you. They can be easily confused by your sudden turnarounds.

I hate TLJ.

Wait what were you saying lol

*snicker* Newbs don't understand Jye.

Jye don’t understand Jye.

You mean with me saying “remove Joker and you’re left with a boring movie”?

No no you’re 100% right that is unfair and not possible to ever do I was just simply highlighting (and praising) Ledger’s importance to TDK’s reputation and success.

So from a certain point of view i’m also right as in from my point of view lol

One thing I really hate about MCU is how they don't bother explaining how Earth people can understand aliens and why aliens speak English.
GotG pointed out that Quill has implanted translator, and Gunn confirmed that all Guardians actually speak different languages, which is cool.
But then you have Agents of Shield speakin' to Kree and other aliens without issues or any explanation...
And now Guardians, Thanos and Black Order understanding and speaking English in AIW.

 

[Wor-Gar]

English IS the Universal language known throughout the universe. Russian is not. Sorry.

 

[RIDDICK]

My spleen actually hurts a little because of how lame that was.

English IS the Universal language known throughout the universe. Russian is not. Sorry.

multiple countries speak English, some speak it more than their native tongue. English is taught it almost all schools in the world.

Only Russians speak russian, no one bothers to learn it, no school teaches it.

just think about that....

False.
In most schools around the world you wont be taught second language at all. In those that do have such option you usually can choose between several other languages. Earth is a big place.

Only Russians speak russian.

Also false.
It's the most geo-spread language of Eurasia and most widely spoken of all Slavic ones. More than 110 million non-Russians around the world speak Russian, eighth most spoken language in the world. Only 131 thousand non-Japanese people speak Japanese. Think about that.

. . .

Anyway, none of that is related to my post in any way.

OMG you had to change your own joke because the first was too sensitive. You really are Russian.

I would watch TLJ any day over FR.

TLJ wishes it could be near as good as Fury Road.

Furiosa > Rey
Nux > Finn
Max > Luke
Immortan Joe > Snoke
Junkie XL > John Williams
Doof Warrior > Yoda
BBW milk farm > Alien Sloth blue milk
Wasteland > Holdo

OMG -- the parallels are too much for me. Mind blown!!!!

But when you break it down like that, Fury Road really is the masterpiece everyone says it is.


Jye used to like it. Until the dark times. Until Kennecus.

 

[RIDDICK]

OMG you had to change your own joke because the first was too sensitive.

I changed it seven times, believe it or not.
First it was too short, then it was too mean, then too long... etc

You really are Russian. lol

Most Russians are straightforward and do not care for sensitivity and tolerance.
You have no idea how different my posts would be if I didn't need to watch what I type in here.



P.S.
Just saw Jye's post with TLJ > Fury Road... It's sickening but not unexpected.

I spent 15 weeks in Romania -- closest I could get to Russia -- so I have some idea.

Not true Wor I hated FR from opening night then rewatched it and respected some parts of it but ultimately all I end up doing is going back to that scene of the very cool looking main villain literally sitting on the side of a hill picking his nose doing nothing.

Had the convoy not turned around he would still be there doing nothing.

His son was a lame version of Lord Humungus.

Bald dudes in a post apocalyptic world is no longer edgy sorry lol

Road Warrior is a masterpiece.

Fury Road is lame.

So yes Kylo Ren is a better villain than guy sitting on the side of a hill.

The only thing more lame than FR are people praising it as a masterpiece.

George Miller wants nothing to do with the movie it brought him nothing but stress and aggravation he didn’t even like the damn color of the movie lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

Road Warrior is a masterpiece.

YES!!!!

Fury Road is lame.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
