Re: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR - (May 4, 2018)
don’t make me laugh. what’s so creative about the last 8 MCU movies that previous ones didn’t have?
Like I said, MCU is not perfect. But they do not rely on the past like SW does. Like Luke, Leia, Han, Falcon, Chewie. Dude, barely any new ships that are totally different from the OT. Starkiller Base? REALLY? A Jedi to be on a desert planet? Emperor guy with red guards that rules over a Lord? Rian lets us down with every element that Abrams built. The worst chase in the history of cinema. You have ships that can travel at the speed of light, yet we'll just let them run out of fuel? Don't make me laugh.
AOU: Wasn't great, but interesting in the development of Ultron and Vision. Hulkbuster fight worth price of admission.
Ant-Man: Very unique in the size change and the combat/tech elements. Criminal who gets taught to do the right thing by a mentor with a duality in daughter relationships.
CW: Heroes that disagree. Yes, BVS beat them to the punch. But it showed that, "United we stand, divided we fall". No one won. But it did lack with no one really paying the ultimate price.
DS: I thought the world changing shapes was a total ripoff of Inception. But I really enjoyed the use of magic and not using words like Harry Potter. The use of time was awesome.
GOTG2: Looked great. Looked into the father relationship, but honestly I didn't really care for this movie. Gunn did fall back on some of the same jokes.
SM: Got out of New York. Kid biting off more than he can chew, but just needed guidance. Great turn with the Vulture.
Thor Ragnarok: Overwhelming comedy. Creative, but too much for my taste. Did reign in Thor and actually took out his planet. No one seen that coming.
Hard to get so creative when there is a limited amount of genres. But they are creative in how they do their genres. WAY better action scenes. IMO, character means alot and Marvel has WAY better characters than SW since 2015. Not even close. But the reliance on OT influence and the deconstructing of what made Star Wars (Luke, Han and heroic action) is what is ruining SW from a creative standpoint. Any idiot can make a SW film and make 700 million. But its the creativity that really makes a movie impressive.
