Mark Vader Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Like last year, the Spring Season of movies ends early as the Summer Season gets an early start at the end of April. Superheroes are everywhere this month, and not much else. Once again, Disney & Marvel have everyone's attention.

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Ok, so I had zero interest in Shazam! until I was forced to watch a Shazam! commercial every five minutes during the AAF games. I also spent a boatload of cash at the at Home store last time we were in Rochester because again, constant commercials during the AAF games... but I digress. I dragged hubby to see Shazam! opening day and loved it! It was such a fun movie. Mark Strong as a villain, Zachary Levi doing more than singing (Tangeled was on the other day), and it all worked because Jack Grazer had great chemistry with both Asher Angel and Zachary Levi. DC has had two good ones the last few years, first WW, now this. I cannot wait for the sequel. I will watch Hellboy when it comes to video. I already have opening weekend plans for Endgame with my son. I'd have waited, but he wants to see it before he cannot avoid spoilers, and his girlfriend is working (or so she claims - she was probably just quicker to figure out how to avoid seeing it).

I was going to say there's no way in hell that I'd be caught dead at that movie...but then I had second thoughts. So...what's it worth to you all for me to torture myself with two hours of ice rat footage? C'mon, TBD...pool your money, make me an offer.

Alaska Darin Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I really enjoyed "Shazam!". Such a fun movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Who clamored for a Hellboy redo? Was it a favor to somebody? The del Toro Hellboy movies were well done with pretty good actors and they weren't big hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting to hear anything about that one before making a decision. So we're up to two positive responses in this thread. At this point, I probably won't see it in theaters, if it's even still there in two weeks, but I'm definitely curious. I really hope DC can keep their positive trend going, because I'm far more familiar with their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The del Toro Hellboy movies were well done with pretty good actors and they weren't big hits. Per Wiki (sounds like a cluster-f from the start): In 2014, Hellboy creator Mike Mignola began work with writer Andrew Cosby on the story for a new film. The project was initially intended as a sequel to Guillermo del Toro's films Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army, which starred Ron Perlman as the title character. Del Toro was offered a producer credit, but declined, wishing instead to direct his own script for Hellboy III, and Perlman refused to return without del Toro's involvement. When Neil Marshall joined, it was decided that the new film would instead be a reboot.[17] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Just like last year, I will have to choose Avengers opening night over the 1st day of the draft. Best news for me though is that John Wick 3 tickets for next month just went on sale the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Hellboy was mentioned once in *our* sequels we'd like to see list. You know, the authoritative list Hollywood should be constantly F5ing. ?

eball Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Isn't Breakthrough little more than a Christianity propaganda film? I mean, that's what the trailer looked like when I was at the movies recently. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbillievable Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Put me in as a vote for watching Shazam on TV/Netflix. It's a fun movie, but not one that requires a theater. It might be better at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's most interesting about that movie is that it's being distributed by 20th Century Fox & Disney, and that Pure Flix has no ties to it at all.
