Disco Stu 15,475 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I'm still annoyed that the 3 most iconic American superheroes (Superman, Batman, Spider-Man) are all currently played by gd Brits. At least Captain America is still an American actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 5,885 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Their franchises are so ramshackle that it would probably make more sense just to Not Have The Flash for a while. Cinema has never had a movie focused on the Flash. Unless Ezra Miller’s movie generates huge receipts this year (which would likely be in no small part due to Miller’s charisma in the role anyway), there’s not a lot of sense having a feller waiting in the wings… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it hews away from the fun side of comic books for the most part, but that might just be Badass Trailer posturing. As a comics fan and generally, I’m more intrigued by the presence of Hawkman and Dr. Fate than the character of Black Adam (presumably removed from both the character of Shazam/Captain Marvel and the tone of that movie).

It was the Joker doing Taxi Driver. Who knows, maybe each movie of this Joker franchise will be a different genre, even though, the social drama aspect seem to have worked for the first one.

thestat 250 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I'm the last one to defend the Balfe, but I have come to the conclusion that he is very good at giving the powers-that-be what they want. Yes, he has mega-crap scores like Pacific RIm 2, but he also does decent fully orchestral animation stuff, while pulling off a decent Mancina approximation in Bad Boys 3, and some gritty Brit TV while he is at it (or whoever works under the Balfe label)..... Whatever Black Adam will be will be exactly what the producers decide it ought to be. The composer simply won't matter. If it's Lennertz or Beck, they will all have to deliver the product that meets the studio regs. Balfe will deliver that. Whether the score is a groany neo-Dunkirk, fine. But it could also be something great like this one from Black Widow where the brief was clearly: do Desplat and Valerian but more Zimmer (in a positive way, for once): JNHFan2000 and HunterTech 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 5,885 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 First movie was also a lot of fun. A little bit cheesy, but I think that’s fine in a superhero movie. Better fun and cheesy than grim. Ive never found Black Adam to be a particularly interesting comic character and the trailers haven’t swayed me on that, but I’ll likely check it out eventually (still haven’t watched Joker, WW84, or The Batman, and likely never will watch either Justice League - so it may be a while until I get there though). Black Adam is usually most interesting when contrasted with other characters like Captain Marvel/Shazam or Superman. It’ll be neat to see what they do with Hawkman and Dr. Fate though, as they are more interesting comics characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Leslie Grace and the previous stuff Adil El Arbi & Billal Fallah did was always great. Their 2 big projects Ms. Marvel & Bad Boys For Life were both very well directed. And I've seen 2 of their films they made in Belgium, which also both were very strong. I was looking forward to see what they did with the character. I hope they get some other project quick. I would maybe give them one of the other big Marvel projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
