Title: [Spoiler Warning] Avengers: Endgame [Spoiler Warning] [Spoiler Warning]
Post by: tp4tissue on Fri, 26 April 2019, 09:44:34: If game of thrones ending would be even HALF as gud' , that'd be a great success.

Great final battle, Captain marvel still OP.

Slightly upset that they used a 2K resolution Digital-Intermediate, you can tell the CGI is a bit soft @ places.

Would've been nice if they used Full 4K cgi render and DI for this Finale.

Post by: noisyturtle on Sat, 27 April 2019, 17:38:03: I dunno. I more miss the early superhero movies like Rami's Spider Man, Blade, Punisher, and Nolan's Batman. To me it seems like as soon as it was apparent the MCU formula was like pissing money, every other studio started copying that. And that formula basically took over from Iron Man 2 onward making every comicbook movie feel exactly the same and be really REALLY boring. The Avengers movies are some of the worst, most dull party trick distractions I've ever seen, and the amount of money it costs to make something so incredibly unremarkable is astounding. Which apparently doesn't matter at all because the studio knows everyone will go to see it anyway.

And for the record I think the recent DC films are even worse, they are just so boring vanilla take-zero-chances and do nothing interesting. Plus DC films lately all feel rushed, as if the script was dumped and every film's release was pushed up 6 months or something. They just feel slapped together with no heart, with every finger in the pie pulling the script in another direction.

In all honesty I think Spiderverse and the first Deadpool movie were the only actually good superhero movies since the first Iron Man in 2008, and Thor Ragnarok is the only good MCU film since Iron Man 1.

I actually liked 3 a lot more than 2. Everyone was hating on The Mandarin, but Ben Kingsly's performance was subtle and nuanced and basically the only good thing about the movie. His acting chops WAY outpaced the script they wrote for him, and he did something great with it. If you watch this short about The Mandarin it gives you a deeper perspective on his performance in the actual movie.

But then again that's one of the problems with MCU films is they leave some of the best bits on the cutting room floor due to the sheer amount of things they try and fail to cram into every movie. And the Avenger movies are by far the biggest offenders, they are so all over the place with little focus or room for meaningful scenes. It's all just a scatter-shot of garbled flashy action and a hydra of never ending plot-points.

The first one by far, and the third one isn't even in the running. The first one had ED 209, Kurtwood Smith, toxic waste melting people. The part with the defective robots in the second one was a good bit though.

Tp4 votes Robocop 2, the drugs infested dystopia is a mirror image of our current societal outlook.

Pretty different, dredd more appropriately juxtaposes 5th element, blade runner, demolition man.

Post by: tp4tissue on Sun, 28 April 2019, 15:10:31: Woah dang.. the Macau Crime Syndicate is fast .. they already produced a Telesync pirate version..

Telesync is the same as Cam, but setup better and usually using a better camera.

Quality is apparently 8/10 video 7/10 audio

Screenshots show some dark crush. There's what appears to be reflections on glass, this means the camera was likely placed behind the projection booth glass.

-- This must've been an INSIDE JOB..

And of course we know it's the Macau Crime Syndicate because they watermark and advertise on the Tsync.
