Upcoming Marvel Films

[Ningen]

Just in case anyone's interested, here's a link to an article that talks about various upcoming Marvel Comics films. It's got news, albeit very little, on everything from Spider-Man 2 to Hulk 2.

Hmmm...some of the movies look promising. Punisher, Spiderman 2. I can't wait to see them!

[SylentChaos]

Hey not bad news but kinda much :P

[Ningen]

Flug, I'm personally looking forward to the Punisher movie. Of the Marvel movies mentioned, it's the one that I definately intend on going to see. Besides, John Travolta's the bad guy, which means he'll probably die, and I hate John Travolta so you can see why I might enjoy the movie.

[Flugigo]

Spiderman 2 looks good also. Now that we get to see Doc Ock.

[Ningen]

I'm just hoping it's not as dreary as the first one. Peter's lost Uncle Ben and has donned the mantle of Spider-Man already, so, hopefully, we can just get to a good movie now. Last time it was a little too depressing and dark for my liking.

[Flugigo]

Well, the last one was really good by my standards. I have read some of the first Spiderman titles, and the movie showed it beautifully. It really showed all the crap given to him in the early years of Spiderman. But it was bull plop at the end when Mary Jane revealed she loved him. Then Peter denies his love. What an idiot.

Spider-man 2 > The Second Coming

I thought the first spiderman was great. and the punisher should be good,accept I dont know anything about him at all

[Ningen]

I'll give you a quick rundown.

Frank Castle is an ex-Marine. His wife and daughter were gunned down by the mafia and ol' Frank lost it and become a vigilante taking up the name "the Punisher." He fights crimes in all it's forms, but he's mainly focused on bringing down the mob. Oh yeah, he doesn't worry about killing people. He doesn't waste his time turning them in.

[Flugigo]

Yea, it'll be a definate PG-13 movie. Someone will die. :ph34r:

[Ningen]

I'm hoping it gets an are-rating. In the end it won't really matter, though, because PG-13 has tons of films in it that should be are. I just want to see lots of bullet holes.

On a side note, check out my "Batman: Dead End" thread in the Life Entertainment section.

There is no chance in Hell that Punisher should get PG-13. Castle put an Uzi through a man's head and emptied a clip out the back of his skull. He also blew off Wolverine's FACE.

[Seraph]

Apparently they're using animatronics for Ock's tentacles, so at least they're using a decent effect they know instead of some shoddy CGI.

I'd love to see the upcoming sequel to Spider-Man. I think that Spidey is an awesome superhero, even if he is a troubled young photographer when he doesn't don the costume, but hey, almost every hero had to have some kind of misfortune befall them.

PETER PARKER AND MARY JANE WATSON 4-EVA! ;)

Unfortuantely that's not the background Frank gets in the new movie. He isn't a vetran of any kind, instead he's an ex-FBI agent. :angry:

I'm looking forward to Spiderman 2 and possibly Blade III depending on the direction they take it.

I cant say im exited about the next Hulk movie, caus number 1 was disapointing. They used far to much time talking, and far to little time fighting. I am however looking forward to the Fantastic Four movie. I were never really the big fan of the comics, but I think it could make a pretty god movie.

Spiderman 2 is gonna be great. I just wished they would use someone like Venom or Carnage instead of Dr. Octopus. Usually movies like Spiderman and Hulk just have to use movie 1 as an introduction, and then movie 2 is gonna have all the wild stuff.

Im a little nervous about Blade III, since I personally think number 2 was a flop. They better use some cooler stunts this time, and Wesley Snipes has to take a fighting lesson. His moves are slow and it doesnt really look like he's got an aim when he punches.

[Ningen]

Metal, that absolutely blows. I realize screen adaptations are going to be a bit different, but an ex-FBI agent? Come on.

Naemi, I have a feeling they'll use Venom for the third Spidey movie. How could they not? The guy's a classic. I'm just afraid what the CGI'll look like.

I think Blade III will be great. The second was way better than the first, in my opinion, and Snipes' martial arts look good to me. I'm eager to see how the third one'll look.

Yeah Venom is a classic, but it wont be half as good if Carnage doesnt leave just a tiny part in it too.
