Wow I wasn't expecting more footage actually

Yeah, I was surprised when I saw it. Finally a Thanos sighting.

I want to like this, but this trailer really does nothing for me.

yes, was pretty forgettable.
perhaps too serious? why so serious?

 

[zelezo vlk]

I love the look. Very early 70s Scorsese NYC films.

I think it looks great, finally something decent from DC since Wonder Woman

This looks fantastic! I'm pumped.

 

[greyhammer90]

why so serious?

You probably just stumbled upon the headline for every reviewer who gives this a negative review.

 

[GATTACA!]

Shazam! was SO GOOD! I'm blown away by how good it was.

Easily the best DCCU movie.

That doesn't surprise me. Looking forward to seeing it.

 

[RDU Irish]

Surprises me - I found the trailers to be stupid. Looks like it is geared to a G-PG crowd.

It's definitely got a jovial kids movie feel, but during the Mark Strong bad guy scenes it gets seriously dark. Some of the monsters are like stuff straight out of a horror movie. It's a great balance.

 

[ACamp1900]

Now THIS I'd look forward to seeing on opening night.....

We just saw it. It was pretty good.



I hated the trailers, but I liked it. Far better than Aquaman, to say nothing of Justice League and BvS. Maybe better than WW.

So I totally missed this but apparently the Marvel movies through Endgame are officially now known as "The Infinity Saga."

For the non-comic reader, what does this mean?

 

[wizards8507]

For the non-comic reader, what does this mean?

From a comic book perspective, not much. From a movie perspective, the biggest takeaway is that Endgame will really feel like the conclusion of a giant story that started with Iron Man. Spider-Man: Far From Home will feel less like "Phase 4" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and more like "Phase 1" of whatever the new saga will be.

 

[wizards8507]

Been rewatching the MCU in preparation for Endgame. Key takaways so far:

Iron Man 2 is severely underrated
Thor: The Dark World is trash

 

[greyhammer90]

Iron Man 2 is severely underrated

Maybe it's better in 2019 but I remember thinking it was sort of trash when I saw it in theaters.

Justin Hammer is the GOAT

Love Justin Hammer, but Mickey as Vanko is pure trash

It already looked great, but it looks so much better now that they can embrace what happened in "Endgame" in the trailers:

ENDGAME SPOILERS IN THE TRAILER FOR SPIDER-MAN

Damn that looks really good. I love the the multiverse idea. That'll open up a whole shitload of possibilities for the MCU.

so it really wasnt an iceberg that sunk the titanic

While I have not seen it yet, reviews are coming in for Dark Phoenix the X-Men movie coming out this week and what I have seen so far isn't very inspiring.

From Cinemablend :
It’s a movie rife with bland performances, dull storytelling, and bizarrely misguided choices, and while there is the occasional cool action beat and mutant team-up to enjoy, it’s jaw-dropping in its incompetence overall.

From Forbes :
Review: 'Dark Phoenix' Is Worse Than 'X-Men: The Last Stand'

From IGN :
Although not the trainwreck some may have feared given its mostly lackluster trailers, Dark Phoenix nevertheless brings the long-running X-Men franchise to a close in a messy and muddled fashion.

 

[Irishnuke]

This is exactly what I expected from Dark Phoenix. Sad to see such good talents going to waste. By good talents I mean Fassbender and McAvoy.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

First Class had me really excited for the xmen franchise, too.

 

[zelezo vlk]

If Dark Phoenix is actually worse than Last Stand, then it's totally worth seeing on Netflix

 

[connor_in]

One youtube reviewer put it dead last of the Xmen movies behind Wolverine: Origins and X3: The Last Stand and Apocalypse
