Pattern Ghost Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I saw that trailer the other day. I hope it comes to Netflix. Looks fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Interesting to see a non-American superhero. The costumes look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slikmar Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Hey, compared to Fantas4ic or whatever it was called, Roger Cormin's FF was gold. Greywind and Hermit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 The same could be said of science fiction movies. Unless it was something like Things To Come, Forbidden Planet or 2001: A Space Odyssey (and how often did one of those come along?) most science fiction movies were either Saturday matinee fare aimed at kids, or horror-themed movies aimed at teenagers. That is, until George Lucas came along and changed everything. This movie looks good. Reminds me of an idea I had for a character--a guy who was a really big fan of a certain wall-crawling web-slinging wonder heard that Hollywood was making a movie about that particular hero, he decided he was the perfect choice to play the part. But how do you convince the directors and studio executives of that fact? Simple--you put on a costume that resembles the hero, then go out and fight crime. Red Spider turned out to be surprisingly good at busting up muggings and stick-up robbers. Armed with his wits and a capturefoam gun (the closest thing to his hero's webbing) he made a name for himself in his hometown. Hollywood never came calling, though, except for a couple of encounters with copyright attorneys. Looking forward to this movie.

drunkonduty Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Looks good. I'll keep an eye out for it in my local cinemas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm the contrarian regarding the OP too, I don't think it looks very good at all, but I'll watch it and give it a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjack Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 A young superhero with a reality show.....as I recall that didn’t work out so well for the New Warriors. Remember Stamford!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not much of a fan of Lucas but there is no denying he changed many things. He made sfx an industry. Made the music score a highly important part of the experience. He created the movie merchandise industry. I could go on. There is no denying SW was unlike anything that went before. slikmar, Pariah and wcw43921 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give John Williams more credit for that than George Lucas. It may have been Lucas' idea, but Williams made it work. And how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Actually, just looks like a reality show variation of Kick-Ass, if KA had been more about Big Daddy and Hit-Girl (ie competent heroes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
