Interested in G.I. Joe Sequel?

Any movie that takes place in the summer, and has the name of an 80′s cartoon franchise as well known as GI JOE, is bound to make bank. With fifty mil on its opening week, clearly it did just that. But does that make it a good movie?

I loved it, I bought it and own it. But I see no future in it. Here’s why; the director, Steven summers… walked out on it. And he is one shitty director. Storm shadow is dead, and the Snake eyes/Storm shadow scenes MADE the first one.

AND… they still have the top notch ace cast of Tatum and Wayans. Fml. So, am I alone here, or does everyone want another Joe movie?

Read it, and you be the judge!

Uncle Ben approaches the burglar in his home. Uncle Ben confronts him and they exchange dialogue. Ben says it was fate that brought them together. The burglar shoots Ben.

Credits Roll

Peter wakes up to his police scanner. Massacre at ESU. He investigates. Captain Stacy is introduced. Peter looks through the destruction and finds a photo of two people he recognizes. Richard and Mary Parker.

Peter has a flashback of his parents giving him to Uncle Ben as a child.

Gwen and Peter go to school. We view the different personalities of his high school.

Captain Stacy debriefs the police force about the situation that occurred earlier that day. They have a lead that the “killer” made his way to the sewer system. They load up.

Peter leaves class. Curt’s wife and Billy Connors wait for him outside. They ask him if he has seen Curt. Peter promises her that he will find him.

Peter has a fight with Aunt May when he asks her questions about his parents and she doesn’t reply. He let’s off steam by going for a swing.

Stacy let’s his man go into the Sewer system. We get an Aliens-esque scene where The Lizard takes out his men. Spider-Man gets in on the action. A battle ensues. Spidey grabs a torn piece of cloth from Lizard’s back.

A man gets killed by the Lizard. Spider-Man stays for the man’s last few breaths.

Flashback of Spider-Man catching Uncle Ben’s killer, and letting him live. He is strung up in a warehouse. Capt. Stacy( then Detective) is awestruck by what he sees.

Spider-Man and Capt. Stacy call it a day.

Peter is at school colecting supplies and tools in order to identify the cloth’s orgin (Fun scene). He eventually comes to the conclusion it’s Curt Connors.

Flashback of Peter working on a regeneration report with Curt Connors. Curt explains that his project is going to change the world. The fact that he is testing on himself is implied.

Cut to Spider-Man breaking into Empire State. Grabbing Curt’s experiment logs and tapes. He listens to each tape (scene is intercut with Capt. Stacy going to a crime scene where the Lizard’s destruction is in every corner.)

Spidey walks down a corridor and confronts The Lizard. Another battle develops. Spider-Man makes an attempt to talk to Curt when fighting the Lizard. However, The Lizard is merciless and continues attacking.

Peter is beat down after the fight. He heads home and to bed.

Peter is talking to Gwen in the library. They have great character interaction between each other, until there are appearances by a dead Uncle Ben, Richard, and Mary Parker. His parents haunt him because they want justice for their deaths. It is all in fact a nightmare.

Gwen gets a phone call at 5 am. Peter is waiting outside and needs someone to talk to, about the nightmare. She invites him in her home.

Peter meets Captain Stacy. He was a friend of Uncle Ben’s. Stacy shows a lot of interest in Peter’s life. Stacy leaves the scene.

Peter browses around the kitchen. On the table is a file labelled “Richard and Mary Parker”. Peter steals it. He thanks Gwen and says she helped more than she knows.

A lighthearted scene occurs when Peter calls in sick from school. The exchange of words between the “sick” Peter and the secretary is amusing.

After the call, Peter opens the file and begins reading.

Flashback to Richard and Mary Parker going over their mission. Richard Parker will sneak into the Oscorp laboratories and look for any information on the disappearance of several civillians. Mary Parker will distract the head of security, Nels Van Adder, for the time being.

Richard breaks into the facility and finds that the missing civillians are being experimented on. We have references to other villains. He gathers evidence.

Mary flirts and extracts information about Norman Osborn as she speaks with Nels Van Adder.

Richard and Mary accomplish their mission and move back to their getaway vehicle.

Nels Van Adder immediately calls Norman Osborn. He explains the situation that just occurred and we see the getaway vehicle explode entirely. Mary and Richard Parker are dead.

Peter is in utter shock. His anger is displayed and Aunt May comes to comfort him. Peter apologizes to May for his outburst earlier.

Peter realizes he cannot fix the past and listens to the formula tapes of Curt Connors as his teacher explain the lesson. Peter manages to answer the questions asked by the teacher as well as figuring out a formula for the antidote.

While his classmates work on forming a solution in class, Peter is forming the antidote.

Gwen Stacy sets the table for dinner. Captain Stacy and Gwen speak about Peter and how they both like him. He says that he has work to attend to and that he will be back in a few hours.He says goodbye to her.

Peter works on homework as he listens to his police scanner. He hears a call that matches Lizard’s description. Peter suits up. Aunt May wishes him safety as he leaves his home.

The address of the call is the warehouse where Ben’s killer was caught.

Scenes interlock of Captain Stacy driving to the scene of the crime, Spider-Man swinging, and Curt’s wife and son watching the news.

As the huge warehouse emerges…

Flashback of Captain Stacy looking at the perp webbed by Spider-Man. This is the first time any of the officers have seen a thing so amazing. Stacy sees Spider-Man on a building watching overhead.

The officers rush into the warehouse. The final battle begins between Spider-Man and the officers against The Lizard. Plenty of bloodshed.

The warehouse begins falling apart. Captain Stacy saves one of the officers from the falling rubble. Costing his life. Spider-Man uses the antidote on Lizard. He transforms back to his human form. Spidey goes to the dying Captain and Stacy says, ” You did good, kid.” Gwen is calling on his cell phone, as Stacy takes his last breath. He dies in Spider-Man’s arms.

The final scenes: Gwen and the officers at the funeral. Spider-Man watches from a distance. Curt’s wife walking with Billy as they see Curt emerge from the beginning of the street. they run to him and embrace. “Richard and Mary’s File” on the NYPD’s desk. Norman Osborn waking up to his television being switched on. The news plays of the NYPD surrounding his penthouse. The police knock on his door shouting that they have a warrant for his arrest. A note on the coffee table writes, ” From Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.” Peter, Aunt May and Gwen help her pack some of her things. Peter notices a door leading to the attic. Hundreds of thousands of copies of unsolved case files make up the attic. All of which Spider-Man is ready to solve. We have a final swing.

Throughout the film, Peter Parker narrates and we find out what is going on in his head.

The opening credits are going to be Watchmen-esque with Spider-Man fighting petty crooks.

Tron Legacy Review

Posted by retaliators on December 19, 2010

http://filmonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Tron-legacy-poster.jpgI must admit that I never saw the original Tron, but I’ve heard several things about it. At the time it was made, it was the most advanced in visual effects. I’m still up to checking it out. As for my anticipation for Tron Legacy, I really wasn’t too excited for it. Don’t get me wrong, the trailers and advertisements looked promising, but it just didn’t click with me. But I got a chance to see it yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised.

THE GOOD

The film is GORGEOUS. I was in awe every moment we were in this world. While I wouldn’t say that the visuals kick Avatar out of the park, but I got the same feeling watching the visuals in this movie that I did when I watched Avatar. This world is brought to life on screen, and you begin to blend into the environment.

I was a little worried before seeing this because of Garrett Hedlund, who while not a bad actor has really never impressed me (his best role was in Four Brothers and he even got knocked out by Tyrese Gibson. That says a lot). And while he doesn’t give a legendary performance here either, he does a pretty good job. Jeff Bridges of course is awesome as usual, and lights up the screen everytime he’s onscreen. But a smaller role that I really enjoyed was Michael Sheen. I will admit that he was overacting, but his character was very enjoyable and funny.

Daft Punk does the score for this movie, and it is beyond excellent. Not only does it sound great, it makes you feel like you are in this world. And the sound design is incredible as well.

Holy Jesus, the action scenes were awesome!

THE BAD

While most of the visual effects were incredible, there was one little detail that really annoyed me: the face of CGI Jeff Bridges. It looked AWFUL, and it looked CGI. It also kinda reminded me of The Polar Express, were the movements were right, but the eyes just looked dead. It was an incredible mess. Good thing the rest were good.

While the actors are pretty good, the dialogue felt off at times. I especially felt this from Olivia Wilde, which is weird to say seeing as earlier this year she was a huge Oscar contender.

I was intrigued to find out that Tron is actually a character in a sense. And he’s not even used that much in the movie. That didn’t sit too well with me.

OVERALL

While it does have it’s flaws, the good outweighs the bad so much that it overcomes these flaws. Tron Legacy is a fun, visually beautiful film. I wish I could’ve seen the original Tron before seeing this, but I’m definitely going to be seeing it soon. The visuals were stunning, Daft Punk’s music brought the world to life (and might find its way onto my IPod), and overall I was completely entertained.

I give Tron Legacy a strong 8/10.

Thor Trailer

Yesterday we got a poster for the upcoming Thor movie, and today, the official teaser trailer has been released. And it looks glorious. While I’m not familiar with the comic, I’m looking very much forward to this movie. Cannot wait.

Here it is, check it out:

Galadriel And Legolas Will Be In The Hobbit

Posted by retaliators on December 11, 2010

A couple of months back, it was announced that Peter Jackson would direct The Hobbit, and since then there has been a lot of casting. Martin Freeman is playing Bilbo Baggins, several of the dwarfs have been announced, and it is likely that Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis will return as well.

But now there are some more cast notes, which I’m not sure will work or not (but of course in Jackson’s hands it should turn out fine), that popped up this week. According to Deadline, the characters of Galadriel (played by Cate Blanchett in LOTR) and Legolas (played by Orlando Bloom in LOTR) will be present in The Hobbit.

Now it has been confirmed that Cate Blanchett will reprise her role and has been stated that it is “likely” that Bloom will reprise his role. To be honest I’m not so sure seeing as he’s taken a break from film and started working on stage. But I’m sure he’ll be up to it, seeing as it’s the part that brought him into the world of film in the first place.

I think this is a good choice, even though I’m not so sure how it will work, so it will get a sense of unity between the trilogy and it’s prequel. It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of (what I consider to be) the single greatest achievement of this past decade. I’m pumped for this movie and I want it out now. As for the actors, Blanchett is usually awesome when she’s not starring as a crazed Russian or Maid Marion, and while Bloom hasn’t had the best track record since (his worst performance is still Troy) I’ve never found him to be a bad actor and this may help him out a bit.

Real Steel Trailer!

This one I forgot was coming out, but here is the trailer for the Hugh Jackman movie based on that stupid game about boxing bots:

So even the sound effects sound identical to the sound transformers make when hitting each other, and I expect more huge robot action movies coming soon- thanks to Transformers. (Robotech, Voltron, etc)

Just like 300 was the reason more over-styled movies where made and the Matrix made more ridiculous over the top action movies come to the screen and Scary movie was the dawn of the horrible fucking spoof movies.

Transformers 3 Trailer

The third Transformers movie, “Transformers: Dark Of The Moon”  has just released its first trailer- which reveals some good trash:

Okay that was awesome- and id have to get out of the way that… the storyline for the Transformer movies make absolutely zero sense now.

So the Mars thing was surprising to the president and all, and it caught them off guard… even though they already found transformers in the Moon???? And it was almost caught on live television!? are you fucking serious?

Whatever ive stopped trying to give these movies logic and learned to enjoy them.
