Gemini Man trailer.

Spiderman into the Spiderverse

Bought the dvd (remember those?) in Tesco today. Really good but a bit cheesy imo. Hopefully they can make another film without the Multiverse concept.

I understand one of Marvel's comics biggest ever hits was the bunching together of all the heroes and villains in Secret Wars but the concept is a bit too out there for me to enjoy.

The animation, voice acting and music is good though.

@WanderingBullet Gemini Man looks awesome, nice trailer. Thanks for posting this 👍

@jacobia Yeah, hope it's good. The de-aging CGI doesn't look good in some scenes but they still have time to fix it, though. Anyways, the younger version of his character reminds me of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.lol

Also, found this on Wikipedia which was interesting :

"Originally conceived in 1997, the film went through development hell for nearly 20 years. Several directors, including Tony Scott, Curtis Hanson and Joe Carnahan, were all attached at some point and numerous actors, including Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Clint Eastwood and Sean Connery, were set to star. In 2016, Skydance Media purchased the rights to the screenplay (which had been through several rewrites) from Walt Disney Pictures, and in October 2017 Ang Lee signed on to direct. Filming took place from February through May 2018."

@themcnoisy I watched Into the Spiderverse for a second time on the small screen the other night (first viewing in theaters) and I liked it better the second time. Spider-Ham is pretty cheesy, but the rest is really good. The visuals are fantastic and it’s a movie and a concept that could only be done properly with animation. A live action film trying to tell the same story with the same pizazz just wouldn’t be possible. I started listening to some of the soundtrack on Spotify today because I enjoyed it so much in the movie.

@Th3solution It is a must watch.

It's really self aware. Did you see the old Spiderman cartoon after the end titles? That was so funny.

@themcnoisy Yeah, that was pretty good.

Spiderverse is one on of my favorite Marvel based movies. Really is an awesome film and one of the few in the last 5 or 6 years that I enjoyed enough to buy a physical copy. Looking forward to see what they do with it next!

So hyped for Endgame too! Going to a midnight release with some of my friends and will be taking the kids to see it right after school Friday. From what's been said so far sounds like a brilliant movie, can't wait!!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I believe you're right, my mistake! And good luck you're pretty much going to have to stay off the internet all together lol

Going to see Endgame on Friday night. I have made a promise to myself that I won't get drunk like I did at the late night showing of Infinity War last year and shout at Thanos.

@Rudy_Manchego That's awesome! I'm going to watch it tomorrow myself.

It got 77 on Metacritc currently so that's pretty good but I think it's gonna drop once more reviews come in as that's usually the case.

@WanderingBullet I think these sort of films are kind of critic proof, in that in a lot of ways, if you are invested in these characters and story, you are probably going to like it and have to see it.

@Rudy_Manchego so you were that jerk last year....

lol.

@AdamantiumClaws Let's watch the language please

@Rudy_Manchego Yeah, but I'm still not sure how Black Panther got 88/100, though.lol

Anyways, I'm really looking forward to Endgame. For me, both Infinity War and Endgame are like the final two episodes of a tv series. Wonder if Marvel will continue with the same approach for their movies in the next phase.

@Tasuki I forgot that's not allowed on here, I'm used to forums either allowing it or censoring it.

Endgame, what a great movie! There were so many ways they could've messed it up but they didn't. Hats off to the directors, screenwriters and also Kevin Feige.

@AdamantiumClaws Oh yeah, completely. Luckily however, everyone was the same as it was a late night showing on a Friday night.

@WanderingBullet Black Panther isn't my faovurite to be honest though I like the character. I do think this is a proper season finale. Looking forward to seeing how they approach the next phases. I think they will do a full reboot in a few years personally.

Endgame was a delight. Really really great culmination of a decade of good movies. Going to be seeing it again later this afternoon but I came away very impressed by what was on display. Was everything I was hoping for!

Don't know to how find the list of MCU movies ratings I posted in the past but Endgame is currently at the top with a 10 out of 10 score for me. Can't wait for the Blu-ray!
