NERD RAGE

I needed some nerd venting with my nerd mamas.

First of all - https://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/notyetamovie/news/?a=93743  WTF?! Jesse Eisenberg is cute and quirky and all as an awkward nerd, but as LEX effin' LUTHOR? No, no, no. This paired with a 60 lb WW and a Ben Affleck Batman is making think this movie will be a train wreck. And possible intros of Flash and Aquaman as well? No, DC! The reason The Avengers worked is that all of the major characters had been introed in previous movies. You're squeezing in too much.

Second of all - https://www.empireonline.com/xmen/ Same problem with this trainwreck. If you're already having a bajillion mutants in one movie, don't introduce new ones as well. Blink is an awesome character and she only has a super small role, as well as Warpath. And Quicksilver? My god, does he look awful. What is Singer thinking????

Thanks for letting me nerd rage, y'all. What do you guys think? On the bright side, Captain America 2 actually looks promising. Yeah, but that's it. 

Re: NERD RAGE

  • I was willing to give Ben Afflec a chance... But Jesse.. Oh hell no! He looks too soft! LL needs a hard edge, and Jesse is too young! Though I thought Kevin Spacey did an amazing job and I would never have picked him to start with...

  • There is just...Jesse Eisenberg?
    DOFP can go suck a nut as far as I'm concerned, they lost me after x3.

  • Jesse Eisenburg as LL?  I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but, just...no.  Well, lets just hope that the director can bring out the magic in him.

    As for X-Men DOFP covers, correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Rogue been cut from the movie?  If so, why does she get a cover?  Not happy about the fact that they're cutting established characters, and adding new characters.  Ah well, we shall see.

    Yes, I heard that too. But I also heard that her part was important to the plot line moving and if they removed her they'd have to do major rewrites... maybe she's back in? I don't know, but I hated their interpretation of her anyway. They made her so whiney. My Rogue doesn't wallow! She kicks ass 95% of the time, and then loses her shit and goes crazy the other 5% :)
  • Jesse Eisenberg, really? That's not a joke?
    BECAUSE IT'S SERIOUSLY A JOKE.

    Also, I was pretty excited for DOFP, but agree that Quicksilver looks ridiculous and Serenla pointed out to me before that it should be a trilogy on its own. And from an (*cough*failed) actress's standpoint, I'm annoyed by these superhero movies that contain 10+ A-listers in one film (Avengers). It just looks like a giant clusterfuck of actors fighting for screen time and the best one-liners. I hate when I can feel Hollywood's self-congratulatory nature IN the movie.
    But at least in Avengers they didn't have to waste an hour of the movie introducing the characters since they were already established. I honestly don't know how DC is going to fit all of that in.

    Maybe they will change the director to Peter Jackson and the movie will be 5hrs long....

    If they hired Peter Jackson he could take a single comic and make it 3 movies and each would be 3hrs long! Don't get me wrong, I dig Jackson and I love "The Hobbit", but I still don't know how he managed to turn a 200 page book into 3 movies! Even with the story add ons from the "Similarion"....

    What can I say, its a talent!!! From what I have heard it was pushed by Warner Brothers - must remember that LOTR single-handedly saved New Line..... All they are seeing is dollar signs. 
    Does not make the best movies though! 2 movies would definitely have been enough. Three, well Ill wait till the last one before deciding. At least the second was an improvement.

    DC should make it 3 movies to intro all the characters! That would be a way better plan! Ugh.

  • I cannot see Jesse Eisenberg as LL. It took me a while to warm up to Ben Affleck being Batman but I don't see this one going over too well.
