Sicario is fucking great. That's a top 5 movie of 2015, no doubt. I'd put Hateful 8 and Antman up there as well.

TFA and Creed are my top two by FAR, though.

Dude! Dude!

Now I want this to happen :(

There are going to be like 3 MCU movies a year soon.

Why not have the promotion go all year 'round?

Seeing news interviews with Cap, Tony, Thor, Banner, Strange, etc., covering various huge events and the potential fallout, talking about stories about Spider-Man, Daredevil, SHIELD-related stuff that may find it's way into the news.

Their videos can be anything from funny promotional stuff to MCU "current events" to an exposé exploring ideas like Inhumans popping up or the Sokovia Accords. The possibilities are endless!

Since it's obviously difficult for the film and television side to really do crossover stuff, maybe it can also be a way to tie the two sides together more since it's not as much a matter of getting an actor to play a role in a film or a show, but stopping by in character for a little web interview can be both cool and good promotion.
 
The Force Awakens is a mediocre movie with plot holes the size of a 18-wheeler that fanboys covince themselves into liking because it's not quite as atrocious as the prequels. It's a sloppy remake of ANH that falls off a cliff the minute Han shows up.

Yeah yeah, I know Bobby's gonna come in with the whole "Actually, it's a remake of the entire original trilogy" spiel any minute now.

This dude gets it.

Don't get it twisted for all its faults TFA is still a better blockbuster than almost the entire mcu so far (iron man 1 withstanding)
Since I noticed you didn't answer before, I'll ask something different. You saying BvS is better than the last Star Wars?

The moment you get past "Dude should have been the BEST" when it comes to that movie? I'll listen..

not really

tfa's third act is as bombastic as tws'

except tws doesn't have anything stupid in it like phasma

and i can't even say tfa's first two acts are better than tws'

TFA is more GOTG-level if anything

That's where I would have it, except I would give extra credit for originality to GOTG.

So much shite in this post.

but in all seriousness...wat. It's objectively one of the best films of the year.
The aesthetic was seemingly created just for me to dislike it and I didn't think that the story was all that great. It's ok if you liked it but I had no interest from the trailers and only saw it because of the hype, which it did not live up to at all.

Never said it was bad! I just don't see it as this groundbreaking god tier INCREDIBLE film that many seem to see it as. I watched it once, liked it, but have no real desire to really watch it again.

I've watched TFA five times and Creed three times already :)

As a big Star Wars fan, I find more truth in this post than not.

It's only gotten more mediocre to me the more times I see it, where it's just okay and entertaining. I might watch it again once in a while for fun but it's nothing special.

It's basically on par with MoS and DOFP for me as passable entertainment, but with all 3 I'm teetering on the edge of saying they are bad and not worth watching.
 
Haaaaaanh? Where did I imply that. Alf plz. Just cuz I don't think mcu is that great doesn't mean I'm gonna cape for BVS now

I'd give that movie a solid 5/10
Franco..nor did I. I just asked a question. You're making it sound like I'm invested..I'm not. I don't take swipes around every corner. Not my thing. I might laugh at shit, but that's because laughter is good for the soul, and I don't own stock.

So, no. Ok Last I heard from you IM3 was the tops..unless I'm misreading? This is why I asked. Too many of us in these threads..hard to remember what everyone says. I mean, minus Bronson..he forces himself on you like a New England perv..
It's the force. Shit like that can be handwaved so easily.
Unforgivable, nigga lol..
 
I only care about user ratings anyways. They are always so reliable, especially in fanboy driven movies.

#onlymetricthatmatters
 

Han don't know shit about the force. Should have been paying attention to obi wan and luke rather than talk all that shit

@gordon: yeah I rewatched iron mans and cap 2 in the last little while as a lead up to this movie. Ranking goes iron man > cap 2 > iron man 3 > guardians > the rest for me now no doubt.
 
The only thing that's shite is how Rey can apparently pull off Jedi mind tricks despite never seeing a Jedi in her life.
It's just funny how everyone who likes the film is 'lying' to themself...or maybe they just like it. The film definitely has its problems, that's just not really one of them.
 
Sounds like the film is getting a lot of good vibes.

I swear I read this whole post thinking it was a parody.
 
I never said lying! I said convinced! Very big difference :P

That's dangerously close to that holier than thou bullshit "I'm the enlightened one who knows the truth, those others are just wrong and I'm right" type attitude. Just say you don't like it, don't gotta act like anyone else is an idiot fanboy.
