The Avengers/Marvel movies



I dunno. Yellowjacket as the villain. And those mech designs with little to no individuality/flash. This movie is gonna have to fold water to NOT suck. I just don't have much faith in this being anything more than 'meh'. Paul Rudd/Evangaline Lily...not a whole lot of personality to save this.

“No One Has Offered Me That Officially” – Emily Blunt On Captain Marvel Role

Okay, because you could have used saving Meryl Streep’s life as a reason for them to cast you as Captain Marvel. You could have used that as prior superhero experience.
Oh! No one’s offered me that officially, so it’s … [laughs] very unofficial. I think it’s fan-casting, which is always very nice. But nothing official has been offered, for sure. If I get it, thank Meryl for it!

They talked to you before for Black Widow and Peggy Carter …
Yeah, but it was never the right time, really, and it just didn’t work out scheduling-wise with those two. It’s always a difficult thing to talk about, because it’s not fair to the actresses who ended up playing them, you know? It just wasn’t the right time.

I would have zero problem with her playing Captain Marvel.

That last bit feels like Marvel trying to get the last laugh. You are trying to tell me that Wright/Cornish spent years on this, and it was ready to go in front of the cameras, and then Rudd/McKay spent a week or two and entirely rewrote the script. Yeah. You're fibbing Marvel. Not sure if there are financial implications(whether Wright/Cornish lose money over the lesser credits), we should be finding out soon.


EDIT: just watched...trying to be objective. Rudd seems terribly miscast. He just does. And this looks very un-spectacular. Just looks television like with a hearty dollop of (possible not finished) bad overreliance on cgi. Maybe due to the rushed nature...regardless, this will make money just based on the curiosity factor, but THIS will be Marvels first real misstep.

Agree. It felt (to use my kid's words) like an "epic fail" waiting to happen ...
 
It's hard to judge just based on a trailer, but something about Ant-Man just feels off. I love Scott Lang's character, and I think Paul Rudd is great, but I feel like Ant-Man is so silly in concept that they need to embrace the campiness. Scott riding the ant at the end was the best part for me. Otherwise the trailer felt too dark and serious and I just think that doesn't work for Ant-Man.

I'm going to reserve judgment until the full movie comes out, though. They've been calling it more of a comedy/heist film, which I think is perfect. I just didn't get that from the trailer.

I kind of did. It just seemed like Paul Rudd's normal "somewhat nerdy yet sarcastically funny" persona in a superhero movie. I actually like Rudd so I hope it works, but feels a bit campy.
 
I don't know. Is Rudd really acting if he is doing the same persona he has done repeatedly? Everything about this seems by the numbers. The whole thing just screams adequate, and Marvel is expected to do better than that simply due to the bar they themselves set. Wright may have(and I am not even completely sure of that) been able to elevate this...but based on the trailer it just looks workmanlike.
 
Would've been nice to see this like we were supposed to during Agent Carter last night, but CTV decided to sell the ad space to Fox for Kingsman. No joke.

So watched it on YouTube on my phone. Looked decent.
