By extension going into a store completely 'blind', having no idea what you might find. The internet has ruined all that. Not that I would now do without the internet.

Those times were good, but I'll take the internet over going into the store blind and the general lack of info. Also, because of the lack of info back then, sometimes there were waves or figures that came out and you wouldn't even know about it.
 
Don't forget Tech Specs, with the decoder. Ah, those were the days.

Those were nice. I also loved the Ghostbusters and the TMNT cardbacks. Those had soooo many characters and stuff you knew you weren't going to get, but it was still nice to look at :lol
 
Since what I like to go to the movies and see is mostly fantasy or sci-fi, I'm loving all this kind of thing. I plan on seeing all the Marvel ones and it depends on what changes they make to the DC movies whether or not I bother going to see those. I'll judge by the trailers and if they interest me, I'll see them.

How many CB movies have you seen so far this year? :dunno

Now, how many dramas? Comedies? There's more of those than CB movies.

Holy ****!! Yes yes yes! I love CBM and I could care less. I want to see multiple iterations of stories and costumes and so on. If they made 50 spidey flicks just to show off various costumes, I'd watch all of em.


Probably one reason why I like book to film movies. I like to see how they make em onto the big screen. Harry Potter is a huge favorite, seeing the different scenarios and spells and such interpreted is amazing. I won't deny it, I did read the Twilight books (long story) but I did like some of Meyer's descriptions, so yeah I did enjoy the films.


I can understand how people say Marvel movies are boring, and it definitely isn't always on the head, but I have a blast with em.


I saw maybe 3 romance flicks in the theatre last week, and those genres get very overdone. I mean this year we have the main headliners like Ant Man, F4, Avengers with occasional graphic novel ones like Kingsman, and compared to the 46 Sci FI films I have on my watchlist; now that is fatiguing in comparison.
 
Yup. I skipped all the GOTG clips and things they were showing and then when I went back and watched them after I saw the movie I was surprised at how many of the best/funniest lines had been spoiled..

Same. It was hard but I managed to avoid hearing Rocket speak as I wanted to hear it first in the theatre
 
yes YES

this guy gets it!!!!

Well said-!! MOS and such "failures" to me are far more interesting and unique than what I see is a disturbing Marvel trend of regurgitating stock ideas and situations that WORKED in prior films with some slight afjustments. I think AOU will be dynamite BUT IT BETTER NOT END with a huge battle in the streets of a big city with massive destruction and Tony saving the day..

Not tired of Superheroes. However, I'm getting a bit bored with the escalating threat. Now it's saving the world with every movie. I'd like something a little more mundane. After all, when you watch Iron Man I, it was a great movie, and the threat wasn't that huge. So, tired of everyone try to one up each other, but of superheros? Nope!
 
can never have enough superhero movies imo. In the violent world we live in, I feel like these movies always give the subtle hint that the good in people will always outweigh the bad :lecture. That might not mean too much to me, but to younger folks, I think it does.

same basic plot
same generic bad guy
same kind of action sequences
same type of ending
Marvel movies even have the same kind of humor

Good post. :duff

I kind of feel that way too to a degree. Why do the stakes always have to be so high? Is it because they're firing with all guns in case they don't get to do a trilogy? :lol

Seriously though, I ain't tired of these flix yet. Weez in da golden age of nerd-dom.

Hollywood in a nutshell since the invention of cinema. :dunno

Next stop: "Modern cars are bad because most of them has engine, exhaust pipe and four wheels!"

not really, it would be like saying that JAWS and Jurassic Park and Cujo are the exact same movie just because "they happen to have evil animals in them"

Or saying that Sixth Sense, Ghost or the Shinning are the same move "because they happen to have ghosts in them...

recent Super hero movies really do have a lot of generic stuff in common that other movies don't really have, even other action movies.
I think the problem is because every super hero has to have a beginning movie. they suck. they are all almost the same

This has been an ongoing criticism of mine, as well. Some people were freaking out, because they couldn't imagine where the Marvel story goes after dealing with Thanos, who will essentially be an ultimate threat. Well, it's easy, they do as writers do in the comics and deal with all kinds of stories that don't all have to concern themselves with overtaking the United States or destroying the world or all existence or whatever. Daredevil will hopefully remind us of this.
