The Superhero Cinematic Civil War of Tomorrow Thread - Part 62

[SwordOfMorning]

On the contrary, I think Pedro played Reed a little too well.

He really leaned into Reed's scientific precision and his coolness, until the point where he felt a little sociopathic. I didn't feel the same love that Kirby's Sue had for Baby Franklin from Pedro's Reed because he saw the baby as an anomaly.

But again, that's how Reed is in the comics also.

Ding ding ding. Obviously Pugh is the superhero lead performance of the year but I thought Pedro was quietly really interesting.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I thought the entire cast was excellent, but Pedro had the hardest assignment. Reed is a hard character to get an audience behind precisely because of his cold and overtly intellectual nature. He isn't a Tony Stark that can charm you with his outrageous personality. But I think Pedro did an excellent job as Reed.

Hair piece, Lily. Connery’s real head of hair - or lack thereof - was never seen in a Bond movie.

FC, FC, FC, always check your sources before speaking in the presence of experts.

Connery's real hair was seen in Thunderball, namely the underwater scenes. They couldn't use a toupee in those scenes. It is the whole reason why they changed up his hairstyle and went for a shorter, more cropped style with the aggressive side part for that movie. It has better continuity with what they could do with what was left of his real hair in the underwater scenes.

Well, that scene sure wasn’t it.

Typical DK pep talk:

But only if the lady is actually consenting.

The movies get more expensive yet his hairpieces drastically diminish in quality. It’s like a fisher king scenario where the less Connery cares the worse his toupee gets.

Connery probably caring less about sitting in the makeup chair with each passing film.

Yeah, after how insanely shouty and loud every performance in Superman felt I really dug Pedro’s understatement.

Superman closer to Minecraft then TDK.

Pascal was good, as was Kirby. Both solid but held back by being given nothing of interest to do.

It was moreso the hairpieces had to get more extensive I think. Dr. No and From Russia With Love were mostly Connery's own hair with only a subtle hair piece hidden under his own hair to hide thinning. That is why he cut his hair longer then.

As of Goldfinger, he needed a true toupee as seen with the visible fake hairline.

I could have saved a lot of time typing my more specific thoughts on the movie and just said this and summed it up lol

They give very humanist performances in a human-less script.

 

[flickchick85]

Kirby and Garner were the only good performances imo. Ineson was perfectly cast as Galactus but might as well have been voicing a video game boss fight for all he was given to say.

After I saw it, I was so disappointed with Big G. Wish they had filmed him in a different way. Like he's so massive we never see all of him. Just his eye, or his hand, his foot, etc. Have them at his base, only able to hear his voice until they see his giant eye. Felt like they really killed his cosmic majesty by just shooting him like any other dude.

He was my only real point of interest here and yeah, hella disappointing. I will just say I did not want to be thinking of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man while I watched.

You try putting a baby car seat in a car.

Damnit, I knew it felt familiar.

Feel a real dissonance between how he is in the movie and the way they're hyping him with marketing.

I was the master of that with my niece. No one else could do it.

It's going to win the domestic box office wars.

If only JW got IMAX for a week.

Actually kind of suprised by how right I seemed to be about the three. JW wins WW, Superman takes the domestic crown, F4 in third, and Stitch crushes all. I think I might of even had HTTYD over F4.

Connery's 1960 headshot before they started plucking his brows for Bond (if hair transplants existed back then, they could have just harvested from his eyebrows:

Thunderball press tour 1965:

You Only Live Twice premiere 1967:
