EVA Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Okay, matches 6, 7, and 8 are interesting. I mean, X2 is clearly head and shoulders better than IM3, but the Marvel halo effect could garner it some support. IM2 vs DAREDEVIL is a good matchup of shitty movies. THOR/Ray Stevenson Punisher is a fascinating matchup of a classy big budget production that doesn't realize it's a B-movie vs. a trashy B-movie that is fully aware of what it is.

Execproducer Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I disagree that IM2 is a shitty movie nor do I think X2 is that much better than IM3 and I will be shocked if the IM films don't advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Iron Man 3 is really good. X2 is a stone classic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 IM2 is by far the worst Marvel Studios movie. That was the moment when they were on the precipice of tipping over into the realm of franchise wanking where the Spider-Man series currently resides. Whether that makes it worse than DAREDEVIL...I dunno. At least it kind of has a plot and character stakes, as opposed to IM2 which is just...stuff happening while we further setup SHIELD and the Avengers and whatnot. IM2 also committed the sin of casting Mickey Rourke at the height of his comeback and then totally wasting him in a worthless role. At least DD let Farrell and Duncan play.

Matt D Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I know the Daredevil Director's Cut is supposed to be good but I've never seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The DD director's cut solves most of the major problems with the movie (except the massive miscasting of Elektra. Actually, the massively wrong everything about Elektra) But it fixes the story issues quite well (hell, it actually explains the whole climatic "the word is out on the Kingpin" bit from the end of the damn movie.)

EVA Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Someone's gonna have to help me make up my mind on THOR and PUNISHER. I'm pretty down on the Thor series these days, but the first one did give us Hiddleston as Loki, and it's basically a remake of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, which is not without its charms.

Brian Fowler Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Kat Dennings is really fun in Thor, as well. But, on the other hand, you have the song in the diner scene in Punisher... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 WRONG PUNISHER. I think. If you're talking about Harry Heck, that's the Tom Jane Punisher. That would be an even better matchup: Spirtual successor to 80's sci-fi/fantasy B-movies vs. spiritual successor to 80's action B-movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Oh, shit, yeah, wrong Punisher. OH! OH! Then War Zone has the parkour guy gets blown up mid-air sequence, which is the best use of parkour in a movie since Casino Royale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hopefully X2 advances as it is one of the top ten comic book films maybe ever. The opening scene with Nightcrawler shits on most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hopefully X2 advances as it is one of the top ten comic book films maybe ever. The opening scene with Nightcrawler shits on most. That scene looks incredible to this very day, which is really saying something when you consider both the advancements in CG over the past 10 years and the escalation of spectacle in summer blockbusters. It's proof that you don't have to destroy a city to create an awesome scene that will leave a lasting impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Fuck it, I went with Punisher just because I knew no one else would vote for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's proof that you don't have to destroy a city to create an awesome scene that will leave a lasting impression. in a way, the Nightcrawler scene is a parallel to the Quicksilver scene in DOFP, as the thing that you remember most from the picture.

The Comedian Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 WRONG PUNISHER. I think. If you're talking about Harry Heck, that's the Tom Jane Punisher. That would be an even better matchup: Spirtual successor to 80's sci-fi/fantasy B-movies vs. spiritual successor to 80's action B-movies. Speaking of Punisher movies, where's Dolph Lundgren? Best Punisher movie, probably better than at least half the movies in the Marvel bracket, certainly deserving of getting in over a crappy Hulk TV movie...
