No, Thor is killed by Thanos.

If there ever is going to be a movie based on the Thanos saga it will the most overblown and bloated piece of epicness ever committed on screen. The story can't get much bigger than that.

I only occasionally read comics but a good friend and a Marvel comics fan recommended that particular story (or series of stories) so I read it and really liked it if for nothing else than the sheer audacious scale of the tale.

Only compared to the original. Compared to the likes of Saw 27 and Hostel 19 it looks watchable. Modern gore movies which aren't coming from the torture porn angle are few and far between so I'll probably check this out at some point.

The music in the trailer, now THAT was awful.

people who saw the original Evil Dead trailer said that film looks really really awful, or cheap.

The thing about Evil Deads I and II, and to a lesser extent, Army of Darkness, is that the horror has become campy and corny by today's standards, but it's never really overwhelmingly frightening. The visual effects weren't advanced enough to be really disgusting or realistic, and so the movie relied on Ash's sharp tongue, camera/POV tricks, and goofy makeup to enact thrills.

This remake/reboot looks like it's totally leaving all comedy behind, and going for completely realistic, over-the-top gross-out effects for sheer horror. I guess that's ok if you're into that kind of horror movie. I'm not, not really.

As I recall, Bubba-hotep was Bruce Campbell approved by virtue of Bruce Campbell being in it. And that was truly one of the worst movies I ever made the unfortunate decision to watch. But I'm willing to give this movie a shot.

I don't recall much humor in Evil Dead, but I do remember tons in Evil Dead II

I like Evil Dead because at the time it was probably the scariest movie I'd ever seen. And to think people think blair witch or any of those parnormal shit videos are remotely scary. I'm so startled.

Visual effects in the 80's not advanced enough to be disgusting/realistic? I recall plenty of indexed slasher movies from the 80's with quite disgusting effects which also look quite realistic (whatever that's worth). As for campy and frightening, sado porn like SAW and HOSTEL isn't really about frights, but more about repulsion. So i'd wager the fright in a film is more defined by how apt it is in the 'something bad is about to happen' department, not in the 10 seconds of body-is-ripped-apart.

I'm sorry, but you landed on the wrong space on your jump to conclusions mat. I wasn't discussing all of the 1980s, simply the Evil Dead movies. And ok, I really only ever watched the second and third; I cannot remember if I bought the first movie on DVD or not, or if I bought it but just didn't watch it. But I found nothing realistic about thousands of gallons of fake blood pouring out of the walls in a cabin, and then disappearing squeaky clean five minutes later.

The first and second movies are poles apart really. There was no humour in the original film, just horror and gore. And it was terrifying. The sequel turned it on its head of course and trumped it in just about every way, but the original still stands out as blazing the trail for the 18 Cert (R Rated) horror in the woods genre.

I need to pick it up this weekend. It's only 6.99 at Best Buy on blu.

You said the films were like this because the visual effects weren't advanced enough, so i took the chance to trash you thoroughly. Riposte!

The first game, specifically. I don't pay attention to the ways the original game was streamlined for the consoles.

Additionally, FarCry 2 and the upcoming FarCry 3 have nothing to do story-wise with the first game. They simply share enough engine and gameplay traits that Ubisoft kept the same basic title. Crytek's game Crysis is more of the spiritual sequel to FarCry than FarCry 2 was, which was basically a GTA-type game in an open-world Africa setting -- mercanaries galore, but no island-hopping, mad scientists, or mutants. FC3 intrigues me.

I'm only vaguely familiar with 2. Got it free with PS+ and only played it for like an hour.

2 was crap. 1 was good until I had to use cheat codes because the level of difficulty got impossible, and the "checkpoint" system made me stop playing for months on end.

A film that has no reason to exist. If it's as good as the last one it will be very bad.
