:comeon: marvel aint no wizard of oz. These are summer popcorn flicks sold off the action spectacle. These are on par with the transformers films. Once that spectacle looks :flabbynsick: what are you left with? There is no memorable story,no memorable scenes. Even their most "iconic" scene the spin around shot in avengers was just a generic michael bay rip off. Theres nothing interesting happening in these films beyond the action spectacle and the connected universe gimmick. The actual film making is basura. Nothing memorable about it.
OK. lol I guess time will tell.

Stathams acting is fine for what he does. I never seen Statham in one scene that was corny.

Statham gonna punk this clown when he sees them. Statham is the streets.

:patrice:

Statham was on the British Commonwealth Diving Team.

He's also played pretty much the exact same role in every movie for over a decade. And none of them were ever as good as 'Lock, Stock' or 'Snatch'.

It's like he decided he wanted to be the new Michael Caine, but then realised that he would have to act at some point to do it, and said "Fukk it" :manny:

On the diving team but was in them STREETS. Doesnt matter if he plays the same role over and over again as long as the same character he plays isnt in bad acted scenes. Statham has never been corny. Even when he had to fukk that broad to keep his heart ticking in Crank.

I don't know where you get the idea he was a roadman - after he quit the diving team, he was modelling for French Connection until Guy Richie cast him for the first time, because he had experience selling fake jewellery.

You're entitled to your opinions re: his acting - but to me he never showed a modicum of the range or talent guys from back home like Idris and Tom Hardy had when they made it in the States. He's basically a stuntman with lines.

The majority of stuff we loved in our childhood aged poorly and is forgotten.

When your films are heavily cgi made,it dates the film very quickly. In 10 years a lot of the cgi in marvel films is gonna look :scust:


Thats why say nolans batman films will age like fine wine,lack of cgi.

And especially when your films lack any depth to them and their just fluff and filler. Nobody gonna be looking back fondly on the thor films.
look yall, he's furious his children will be telling their children about infinity war :banderas:

I think it's hilarious how the MCU guys throw shots at people left and right. I remember when RDJ randomly say "fukk DC" in an interview. :dead:

Collider: I think the reason why the Marvel movies are so good — especially Winter Soldier — is that Winter Soldier’s a ‘70s political thriller that happens to star Captain America. And what I’m curious about is what kind of take is Civil War in terms of … because it’s obviously going to be a reboot and reinvention. Do you know what I mean?

Stan: Yeah, I’m sitting here and I’m listening to you and I’m thinking, “Do I want to fire some shots at DC right now, at Zack Snyder?” I read some of those comments where he said something about Batman and Superman, I can’t remember where I read that, somewhere… Something about, “It’s not going to be your flavor-of-the-week Ant-Man.” And I was like, “Oh thanks, Zack. That’s great. Way to do something original.” But I would say we’re still making something very original in our own way. I mean, the Russos are coming in and taking something people are used to and they’re shaping it up and changing it in a very different way. They’re not trying to mimic a better Christopher Nolan movie or something like that.”

Captain America 3: Sebastian Stan on Civil War, Zack Snyder

:ooh: :dead:

Excellent point...there are people that train for years in order to be proper stunt men and they deserve jobs as well. They have a job...and Bettany is paid to "act" not to do stunts....

I think Statham is mad nobody called him for a character

This is the same shyt I said. Also all the stunts in the world ain't gonna make Hulk fight Iron Man. It's just not possible.

Them "Furious" movies are cool but Statham is making it seem like they're doing "The Raid" movies or something. shyt ain't that dope.
