There's not a single Marvel movie that compares favourably to Highlander.

:lol:

 

Behave yourself man. You're letting nostalgia cloud your judgement. 

 

The dialogue is clunky, the acting from the leads is pretty fucking awful, the fight scenes are hilariously bad, the special effects weren't even any good at the time. Not to mention the casting.

 

The kid in me loves that movie, but objectively it's got many, many flaws.

The Thing wasn't a remake.  The Thing with Kurt Russell is nearer a remake of The Thing From Another world from the 50's but that's really an example of how it can be done well.  Both using the same source material but in different ways.

The recent Thing plot was almost identical iirc.

See I loved it as a kid, but even then I could see the fight scenes were shit and the special effects were worse. Watching it again and it's clear that the acting is pretty terrible too. 

 

There's some decent actors around that could do well in the roles and we've seen with Marvel movies that you can take something a bit silly and turn it into an enjoyable movie.

See, even then, a young future pimms drinking shithouse was noting the fundamental flaws in the film and memorising them for the yet to be invented medium of internet forums where he would dissect those flaws in front of a captivated audience of philistines who just would not see the inherent moodmusic of the marvel films by comparison.

Wheelman on Netflix, a decent watch and it's 100mph (Apart from when he stops).

Both Frank Grillo and Shea Whigham have ties to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Frank Grillo played Brock Rumlow/Crossbones in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Captain America: Civil War. Whilst Shea Whigham played Roger Dooley on ABC's Agent Carter.

I'd rather watch Highlander any time. There's only some of the x men films that come close.  Of course there's flaws in it but they don't stop it being far more enjoyable.

Just seen Paddington 2.

 

Surprisingly quite brilliant, better than the first which is some recommendation. If you've got kids 4+, see it in the cinema.

 

Oh, last night saw La La Land on Netflix. Pleasently surprised.

I've never seen 2 but if it's better than the first it should be awesome, the bathroom scene in the first film still has the kids in fits of laughter.

Watching Terminator 2 again for the umpteenth time & even now it really is a spectacular film 

 

First and second were superb but Terminator Genisys was so disappointing.

Hard to believe Terminator was released in 1984 !

I would much rather watch Highlander on a loop than any of this Marvel or DC shit. Fantastic film, amazing atmosphere and scenery, with a decent bespoke sound track. By no means perfect but pretty sure a remake would fuck it up. I'm struggling to count on one finger how many remakes of classics have anywhere near equalled the original. You can tell Fish loves his CGI.
