Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I have a feeling it's going to be a very awkward, conflicted film like A.I. I just can't see Nolan and sentimentality mixing together well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Interstellar looks more Ron Howard than Spielberg imo. Really? The Spielberg connection is obvious (I'll even throw in Robert Zemeckis). What's the link you see to Ron Howard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yeah, the tone is decidedly Howardesque in that there's a big dose of glorious American spirit present (in the trailer), with the typical air of preachy nobility you get in Howard's space movies.

You also don't feel the Zemeckis vibe?I sorta understand the Apollo 13 nobleness but I wonder if that doesn't have anything to do with Tom Hanks' sense of importance.

A24 4,331 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It does feel like a change of style for Nolan. OTOH, he does have his corny moments too (the Albert scenes in the Batman movies). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,006 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Cheer up, Interstellar might turn out all right. Truth is, no one really knows. It's just that trailers don't seem to give us any kind of idea what the film is. Which is actually quite typical for Nolan. So this banter means very little at this point.

Romão 2,274 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Guardians of the GalaxyI quite enjoyed it, definitely the most enjoyable Marvel movie since the first Iron Man.I loved the casting and dynamics between the 5 heroes, and I would gladly watch them for hours just talking nonsense.The thing is, once the plot of the movie gets in the way, it really brings the movie down. Everytime a scene has to serve the plot, the movie gets worse for it. This would've worked great as a sitcom of sorts.Summing it up, I really fell in love with the 5 main characters. Everything else, ranges from serviceble to forgettable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I felt pretty much the same. Really nice character stuff, interrupted by a bog standard Marvel plot. KK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 And the villian was as generic as they come, if the look was interesting (though a bit derivative). I kept thinking Lee Pace should play Thanos. Josh Brolin's voice really sounds out of place in the character. It sounds too mundane...to American I'd say. Lee Pace does excel with this sort of slow, self important, speech pattern, as he also shows in The Hobbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Dull villian! Just an angry smurf with black teeth. Also not sure why Glenn Close and John C. Reilly were cast for such boring roles?Just gimme more of Groot dancing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I thought Thanos immediately became less menacing as soon as we saw him clearly and heard him talk and interact with other characters in a real way. I guess that was inevitable since his mysterious credits appearance let the imagination run wild, but I wonder how they're going to really make him continue to stand out as the "big bad" as a more present and active character rather than some unseen, almost elemental force.

Jay 37,352 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm still looking forward to Interstellar but I think the trailers so far have all been underwhelming for some reason. For Guardians I think Lee Pace was a good villain (what does it yell you that I don't even remember his character's name). agree with others that the plot is the weakest aspect of the film.

King Mark 3,631 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 The part that killed any remnant of tension the movie might have had is when Starlord starts dancing to distract him. That was just a plain stupid scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
